Investment in
Man-AHL
Diversified Trading Company L.P. —
The Partnership’s investment in the Trading Company is valued at the fair value of the Partnership’s proportionate interest in the net assetspartners’ capital of the Trading Company. The fair value of the Partnership’s investment in the Trading Company approximates the carrying amounts presented in the statements of financial condition. The Partnership records its proportionate share of the Trading Company’s income, expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses. Investment transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. In addition, the Partnership accrues its own expenses. The performance of the Partnership is directly affected by the performance of the Trading Company. Attached are the financial statements of the Trading Company, including the condensed schedules of investments, which are an integral part of these financial statements. Valuation of investments held by the Trading Company is discussed in the Trading Company’s notes to financial statements.
At September 30, 2022As at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the Partnership owned 3,682.883,528.96 and 3,931.353,571.81 units, respectively, of the Trading Company. The Partnership’s aggregate ownership percentage of the Trading Company at September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 20212022 was 52.14%50.01% and 57.16%51.38%, respectively.
The Partnership is able to redeem its investment from the Trading Company on a monthly basis. As of September 30,
2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the Partnership could redeem its investment without restriction at the
month-end
net asset value of the Trading Company.
Due from
Man-AHL
Diversified Trading Company L.P. —
The amounts Due from
Man-AHL
Diversified Trading Company L.P. represent redemption requests made by the Partnership relating to its investment in the Trading Company. The requests have been received and recorded by the Trading Company but the proceeds have not been received by the Partnership. These amounts are ultimately due to limited partners of the
Partnership
as redemptions payable.
Expenses —
The Advisor earns a monthly management fee in an amount equal to 0.1667% (2% annually) of the Partnership’s
month-end
Net Asset Value, as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement (the “Agreement”). In addition, the General Partner earns a monthly general partner fee in an amount equal to 0.0833% (1% annually) of the
month-end
Net Asset Value of Class A Series 1 and Class B Series 1 units. The general partner fee is included in management fees in the statements of operations.
The Advisor also earns a monthly incentive fee equal to 20% of any Net New Appreciation, as defined in the Agreement, achieved by the Partnership.Partnership, with new appreciation generally tracked on a
class-by-class
basis. The incentive fee is retained by the Advisor even if subsequent losses are incurred; however, no subsequent incentive fees will be paid to the Advisor until any such trading losses are recouped by the Partnership. Because the incentive fees are paid on the Net New Appreciation of the Partnership as a whole, it is possible that certain Limited Partners may experience increases in the Net Asset Value of their units while paying no incentive fees on such increases in the Net Asset Value of such units as a result of the timing of the purchase of units. During the three and nine month periods ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, no incentive fees were earned by the Advisor.
The Partnership pays a monthly servicing fee to MII in an amount equal to 0.0833% (1.00% annually) of the
month-end
Net Asset Value of Class A Series 1 and Class B Series 1 units and to 0.0625% (0.75% annually) of the
month-end
Net Asset Value of Class A Series 2 and Class B Series 2 units. For all classes of
units
. MII serves as the placement agent for all classes of units of the Partnership.
Revenue recognition —
Income and expense are recognized on an accrual basis in the period in which they are incurred.
Derivative Contracts
— The Partnership’s operating activities involve trading, indirectly through its investment in the Trading Company, in derivative contracts that involve varying degrees of market and credit risk. With respect to the Partnership’s investment in the Trading Company, the Partnership has limited liability, and, therefore, its maximum exposure to either market or credit loss is limited to the carrying value of its
investment
in the Trading Company, as set forth in the statements of financial condition.

Net Income (Loss) Per Unit —
Net income (loss) per unit of Class A Series 1, Class A Series 2, Class B Series 1, or Class B Series 2 partnership interest is equal to the net income (loss) per class divided by the weighted average number of units outstanding per class. Weighted average number of units outstanding is the average of the units outstanding for each day during the period.period ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
Income Taxes —
The Partnership is not subject to federal, state, or local income tax. Such taxes are the liabilities of the individual partners and the amounts thereof will vary depending on the individual situation of each partner. Accordingly, there is no provision for income taxes in the accompanying financial statements. ASC 740,
Income Taxes,
defines how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the financial statements and is applied to all open tax years. The Partnership has evaluated tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Partnership’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are
more-likely-than-not
to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Based on this analysis of all tax jurisdictions and all open tax years subject to examination, there were no material tax positions not deemed to meet a
more-likely-than-not-threshold.
Therefore, no tax expense, including interest or penalties, was recorded for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and 2021.2022. To the extent that the Partnership records interest and penalties, they would be included in interest expense and other expenses, respectively, on the statements of operations. The following is the major tax jurisdiction for the Trading Company and the earliest tax year subject to examination: United States – 2019.

6. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
The General Partner and the Advisor acknowledge the on-going outbreak of
COVID-19
which has been causing economic disruption in most countries since the first quarter of 2020 and its potentially adverse economic impact on the issuers of the instruments in which the Partnership invests. This is an additional risk factor which could impact the operations and valuation of the Partnership’s assets after the period-end.
The Advisor is actively monitoring developments closely. Given the nature of the outbreak and the
on-going
developments, there is a high degree of uncertainty and it is not possible at this time to predict the extent and nature of the overall future impact on the Partnership.
In late February 2022, Russian military forces invaded Ukraine, significantly amplifying already existing geopolitical tensions among Russia, Ukraine, Europe, NATO and the West. Russia’s invasion, the responses of countries and political bodies to Russia’s actions and the potential for wider conflict may increase global financial market volatility and could have severe adverse effects on regional and global economic markets. The United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other jurisdictions have instituted sanctions against certain Russian individuals, including politicians, and Russian corporate and banking entities, and a number of large private corporations and U.S. states have also announced plans to divest interests or otherwise curtail business dealings with certain Russian businesses. The sanctions imposed include prohibitions on trading in certain Russian securities, transacting in or dealing in issuances of debt or equity of Russian issuers, supplying certain restricted goods and services to Russian persons, engaging in certain private transactions and doing business with certain Russian corporate entities, large financial institutions, officials oligarchs and Russian annexed regions of Ukraine and the freezing of assets owned or controlled by certain designated persons. The sanctions also include the removal of selected Russian banks from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications, commonly called “SWIFT,” the electronic network that connects banks globally, and imposed restrictive measures to prevent the Russian Central Bank from undermining the impact of the sanctions. Such measures could adversely affect global financial markets and thereby negatively affect the value of the Partnership’s investments beyond any direct exposure to Russian issuers or those of adjoining geographic regions. In response to the sanctions, the Russian Central Bank has raised its interest rates and banned sales of local securities by foreigners. Russia may take additional counter measures or retaliatory actions, which may further impair the value and liquidity of Russian securities and the Partnership investments. Such actions could, for example, include restricting gas exports to other countries, seizing U.S. and European residents’ assets or undertaking or provoking other military conflict elsewhere in Europe, any of which could exacerbate negative consequences on global financial markets and the economy. The actions discussed above could have a negative effect on the performance of funds that have exposure to Russia or to global markets. While diplomatic efforts have been ongoing, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is currently unpredictable and has the potential to result in broadened military actions. The duration of ongoing hostilities and corresponding sanctions and related global events cannot be predicted and may result in a negative impact on the performance and value of Partnership investments. While as of September 30, 2022 the Partnership has no direct Russian investments, the impact of Russian actions on the global markets in general may adversely impact the performance of the Partnership.6

on debt securities are amortized using the effective interest method and included within interest income on the statements of operations.
Derivative Contracts
— In the normal course of business, the Trading Company enters into derivative contracts (“derivatives”) for trading purposes. Derivatives traded by the Trading Company include futures and forward contracts and swap agreements. The Trading Company records derivatives at fair value. Futures contracts, which are traded on a national exchange, are valued at the close price as of the valuation day, or if no sale occurred on such day, at the close price on the most recent date on which a sale occurred. Forward contracts, which are not traded on a national exchange, are valued at fair value using independent pricing services, which mainly use market observable inputs in their valuations. Swaps are contractual agreements between two parties to exchange streams of payments over time based on specified notional amounts. The Trading Company’s swap agreements may consist of interest rate swaps and credit default swaps. Swap agreements are valued at fair value using independent pricing services. Upfront premiums paid or received by the Trading Company upon entering a credit default swap agreement are treated as part of the cost/proceeds of the credit default swap agreement and are reflected as part of net premiums paid or received on the statements of financial condition. Upon termination of a credit
default
swap transaction, the amount included in the cost is reversed and becomes part of realized gain or loss.
Foreign Currency
— All assets and liabilities of the Trading Company denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the mean between the bid and ask market rates for such currencies on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of foreign investments are converted at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective date of such transactions. The Trading Company does not isolate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of the investments. Such changes are included with the net realized gains or losses on trading activities.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
— Cash and cash equivalents include unrestricted cash, short-term
interest-bearing
money market accounts and U.S. government securities with original maturities of 90 days or less, held with The Bank of New York Mellon.

Income Taxes
— The Trading Company is treated as a partnership for tax purposes and therefore is not subject to federal, state, or local income tax. Such taxes are the liabilities of the individual partners and the amounts thereof will vary
19

depending on the individual situation of each partner. Accordingly, there is no provision for income taxes in the accompanying financial statements. ASC 740,
Income Taxes
, defines how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the financial statements and is applied to all open tax years. The Trading Company has evaluated tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Trading Company’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are more likely than not to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Based on this analysis of all tax jurisdictions and all open tax years subject to examination, there were no material tax positions not deemed to meet a
more-likely-than-not-threshold.
Therefore, no tax expense, including interest or penalties, was recorded for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and 2021.2022. To the extent that the Trading Company records interest and penalties, they would be included in interest expense and other expenses, respectively, on the statements of operations. The following is the major tax jurisdiction for the Trading Company and the earliest tax year subject to examination: United
States
– 2019.​​​​​​​
Net Income (Loss) Per Unit
— Net income (loss) per unit of partnership interest is equal to the net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of units outstanding. Weighted average number of units outstanding is the
average
of the units outstanding for each day during the period.periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
Other income
— Other income included in the statements of operations includes the proceeds received by the Trading Company
relating
to a class action award.
3. LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
The General Partner and limited partners share in the profits and losses of the Trading Company in proportion to the amount of capital held by each partner. However, no limited partner is liable for obligations of the Trading Company in excess of its capital contribution and net profits or losses, if any. The General Partner owned no direct interest in the Trading Company during the periods ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021.2022.
Distributions (other than redemption of units), if any, are made on a
pro-rata
basis at the sole discretion of the General Partner. No distributions were declared or paid during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and 2021.2022.
Partner contributions occur as of the first day of any month at the opening net asset value. Limited partners may redeem any or all of their units as of the end of any month at the net asset value per unit with 10 days prior written notice to the General Partner. The General Partner may suspend redemptions of units of the Trading Company if the Trading Company’s ability to withdraw capital from any investment is restricted. The Trading Company will be dissolved on December 31, 2037, or upon the occurrence of certain events, as specified in the Trading Company’s limited partnership agreement.
4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Trading Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The fair value of the Trading Company’s assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments approximates the carrying amounts presented on the statements of financial condition.
The inputs used to determine the fair value of the Trading Company’s investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
 
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
 
Level 2 — investments with significant market observable inputs
 
Level 3 — investments with significant unobservable inputs, which may include the Trading Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments
Futures contracts are valued based on end of day quoted prices from the exchange and are categorized as Level 1 investments in the fair value hierarchy. Treasury bills, forward contracts and swap agreements are valued at fair value using independent pricing services, which use market observable inputs in their valuations, and are categorized as Level 2 investments in the fair value hierarchy. As of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the Trading Company did not have any positions categorized as Level 3 investments in the fair value hierarchy.
The following is a summary categorization as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, of the Trading Company’s investments based on the level of inputs utilized in determining the value of such investments:​​​​​​​

5. DERIVATIVE FINANICIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
The Trading Company seeks to achieve its investment objective by participation in the AHL Diversified Program directed on behalf of the Trading Company by the Advisor. The AHL Diversified Program is a price trend-following trading system, entirely quantitative in nature, and implements trading positions on the basis of statistical analyses of past price histories. The objective of the AHL Diversified Program is to deliver substantial capital growth for commensurate levels of volatility over the medium term, independent of the movement of the stock and bond markets, through the speculative trading, directly and indirectly, of physical commodities, futures contracts, spot and forward contracts, swaps and options on the foregoing, exchanges of futures for physical transactions and other investments on domestic and international exchanges and markets (including the interbank and
over-the-counter
markets (“OTC”)). The AHL Diversified Program trades globally in several market sectors, including, without limitation, currencies, bonds, energies, stock indices, interest rates, metals and agriculture.
 
21

All of the strategies and systems of the AHL Diversified Program are designed to target defined volatility levels rather than returns, and the investment process is underpinned by computer-supported analytical instruments and disciplined
real-time
risk and management information systems. A proprietary risk measurement method similar to the industry standard
“value-at-risk”
helps ensure that the rule-based decisions that drive the investment process remain within
pre-defined
risk parameters.
Margin-to-equity
ratios are monitored daily, and the level of exposure in each market is quantifiable at any time and is adjusted in accordance with market volatility. Market correlation is closely monitored to prevent
over-
concentration over-concentration of risk and ensure optimal portfolio weightings. Market liquidity is examined with the objective of ensuring that the Trading Company will be able to initiate and close out trades as indicated by AHL Diversified Program’s systems at market prices, while brokerage selection and trade execution are continually monitored with the objective of ensuring quality market access.
Futures contracts, forward contracts and swap agreements are recorded on the trade date. Upon entering into futures contracts, forward contracts and swap agreements, the Trading Company may be required to deposit cash or collateral with the brokers. Gains or losses are realized when contracts are matured or closed. Unrealized gains or losses on open contracts and agreements (the difference between contract trade price and fair value) are reported in the statements of financial condition.
Interest rate swaps relate to agreements taken out by the Trading Company with major brokers in which the Trading Company either receives or pays a floating rate of interest in return for paying or receiving, respectively, a fixed rate of interest, on the same notional amount for a specified period of time. In the normal course of business, the payment flows are netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other. Changes in the value of the interest rate swap agreements and amounts received or paid in connection with those changes, are recognized as realized trading gains (losses) on closed contracts/agreements in the statements of operations. The risks related to trading in interest rate swaps include changes in market value and the possible inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligations under the agreement.
The Trading Company may enter into short sales. In order to facilitate a short sale, the Trading Company borrows the applicable financial instrument from a broker or counterparty and delivers it to a buyer. A short sale by the Trading Company creates an obligation on the part of the Trading Company to thereafter purchase the financial instrument in the market at the prevailing market price and deliver it to the broker or counterparty from which it was borrowed. The Trading Company is exposed to the risk of loss to the extent that the price of a financial instrument sold short by the Trading Company increases from the time the Trading Company borrows the financial instrument to the time the Trading Company purchases it in the market to satisfy the Trading Company’s delivery obligation. Consequently, the ultimate cost to the Trading Company to acquire a financial instrument sold short may exceed the amount recognized in financial statements.
The Trading Company may enter into credit default swap agreements to provide a measure of protection against the default of an issuer (as buyer of protection) and/or gain credit exposure to an issuer to which it is not otherwise exposed (as seller of protection). Credit default swaps are agreements in which one party pays fixed periodic payments to a counterparty in consideration for a guarantee from the counterparty to make a specific payment should a negative credit event take place (e.g. default, bankruptcy, debt restructuring, etc.). The Trading Company may either buy or sell (write) credit default swaps. As a buyer, upon the occurrence of a specified negative credit event, the Trading Company will either receive from the seller an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced security or underlying securities comprising an index or receive a net settlement of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the agreed upon recovery value of the security or underlying securities comprising an index. As a seller (writer), upon the occurrence of a specified negative credit event, the Trading Company will either pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced security or underlying securities comprising an index or pay a net settlement of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the agreed upon recovery value of the security or underlying securities comprising an index. In the event of default by the counterparty, the Trading Company may recover amounts paid under the agreement either partially or in total by offsetting any payables and/or receivables with collateral held or pledged. The counterparty risk for
centrally-cleared
credit default swap agreements is generally lower than for credit default swap agreements not
centrally-cleared.
However, there can be no assurance that the clearing organization, or its members, will satisfy its obligations to the Trading Company.
These periodic payments received or made under swap agreements by the Trading Company are included in net realized trading gains (losses) on closed contracts/agreements in the statements of operations. When the swap is terminated, the Trading Company will record a realized gain (loss) equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) closing the transaction and the Trading Company’s basis in the contract, if any.
��
22

Swap transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the statements of financial condition. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty or the clearing organization to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates and/or market values associated with these transactions.
As of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the total fair value and notional amounts of credit default swaps on indices where the Trading Company is the seller is presented in the following table by contract terms:

The notional amount represents the maximum potential pay out that the Trading Company could be required to make if a credit event were to occur under each agreement. The maximum payout amount may be offset by the subsequent sale, if any, of assets obtained via the execution of a payout event, upfront fees received upon entering into the contracts, or net amounts received from the settlement of offsetting purchased protection in credit default swap contracts entered into by the Trading Company for the same reference entity or entities. As of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, all credit default swap contracts entered into by the Trading Company are on indices. AsThe credit spread of September 30, 2022, the Trading Company did not hold anyunderlying indices, derived from the fair value at March 31, 2023 of each credit default swapsswap where the Trading Company is a seller, of protection.ranged between 76 basis points and 463 basis points. The credit spread of the underlying indices, derived from the fair value at December 31, 20212022 of each credit default swap where the Trading Company is a seller, ranged between 4882 basis points and 292485 basis points. The credit spread is generally indicative of the status of the underlying risk of default by the applicable reference entity or index and is likely to be different than the contractual spread on the credit default swap. Higher credit spreads are indicative of a higher likelihood of
non-performance
by the underlying reference entity.

The Trading Company trades derivative financial instruments that involve varying degrees of market and credit risk. Market risks may arise from unfavorable changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, or the fair values of the instruments underlying the contracts. All contracts are stated at fair value, and changes in those values are reflected in the net change in unrealized trading gains (losses) on open contracts/agreements in the statements of operations. Credit risk arises from the potential inability of counterparties to perform in accordance with the terms of a contract. The credit risk for OTC derivative contracts is limited to the net unrealized gain plus any collateral posted net of unrealized losses or
23

upfront fees posted, if any, for each counterparty for which a netting agreement exists and is included in the statements of financial condition. Upfront fees are listed on the statements of financial condition as net premiums paid/received on credit default swap agreements and are shown net by counterparty for which a netting agreement exists. Counterparty relationships are governed by various contracts. These contracts can be based on industry standard agreements, such as International Swap and Derivatives Association agreements for OTC contracts. These agreements set forth each party’s basic rights, responsibilities, and duties. These agreements also contain information regarding financial terms and conditions, as well as termination and events of default provisions. Certain agreements contain provisions that require the Trading Company to post additional collateral upon the occurrence of specific credit risk related events or upon notice from the counterparty. As the Trading Company’s trading strategies are dependent upon the existence of these agreements, the Trading Company’s counterparties usually have multiple specified events under which they can terminate individual transactions or the entire agreement. These are most commonly related to declines in assets under management and performance below certain thresholds during a specified period. It is not guaranteed that counterparties will move to terminate individual transactions or entire agreements if a “trigger event” were to occur; however, it is their right to do so, and such a move could severely impact the Trading Company’s portfolio. At September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the OTC contracts subject to such trigger events in a net liability position were the foreign currency forward contracts and credit default swap agreements.contracts. The details of the net liability positions by counterparty are disclosed later in this note on the additional disclosures regarding the offsetting of derivative liabilities table. The ultimate amounts that may be required as payment to settle the derivative instruments in connection with the triggering of such credit contingency features as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, may differ from the net liability amounts recorded as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, and such differences can be material.
For exchange-traded futures contracts, the clearing organization functions as the central counterparty for each transaction and, therefore, bears the risk of settlement to and from counterparties, which mitigates the credit risk of these instruments.
As of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, all credit default swaps held by the Trading Company are centrally cleared swaps swaps.

As described above, the Trading Company may enter into netting agreements with its derivative contract counterparties whereby the Trading Company may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. As of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the Trading Company was subject to netting agreements that allowed for amounts owed between the Trading Company and its counterparty to be netted. The party that has the larger payable pays the excess of the larger amount over the smaller amount to the other party. The netting agreements do not apply to amounts owed to or from different counterparties.

8. OTHER CONSIDERATIONSREVISION OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The General Partner and the Advisor acknowledge the on-going outbreak of
COVID-19
which has been causing economic disruption in most countries since
During the first quarter of 2020 and its potentially adverse economic impact on the issuers of the instruments in which2023, the Trading Company invests. This isidentified and corrected an additional risk factor which could impactimmaterial presentation error related to restricted cash that was not disclosed previously in the operationsStatements of Cash Flows.
The Trading Company reconsidered the guidance included in ASU 2016-18 “Statement of Cash Flows” and valuationdetermined that certain amounts included in Due from brokers on the Statements of Financial Condition met the definition of restricted cash for purposes of presentation and reconciliation on the Statements of Cash Flows. Based on an analysis of quantitative and qualitative factors in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletins 99 “Materiality” and 108 “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements”, the Trading Company concluded that these errors were immaterial, individually and in the aggregate, to the Statements of Cash Flows as presented in the Trading Company’s assets after the period-end.
The Advisor is actively monitoring developments closely. Given the nature of the outbreakquarterly and the
on-going
developments, there is a high degree of uncertainty and it is not possible at this time to predict the extent and nature of the overall future impact onannual financial statements previously filed in the Trading Company.Company’s 2022 Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Reports on Form 10-K. There was no impact to the Statements of Financial Condition, Condensed Schedule of Investments, Statements of Operations or Statements of Changes in Partners’ Capital for any period presented.
In late February 2022, Russian military forces invaded Ukraine, significantly amplifying already existing geopolitical tensions among Russia, Ukraine, Europe, NATO andpreparing the West. Russia’s invasion,Trading Company’s Statement of Cash Flows for the responses of countries and political bodies to Russia’s actions and the potential for wider conflict may increase global financial market volatility and could have severe adverse effects on regional and global economic markets. The United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other jurisdictions have instituted sanctions against certain Russian individuals, including politicians, and Russian corporate and banking entities, and a number of large private corporations and U.S. states have also announced plans to divest interests or otherwise curtail business dealings with certain Russian businesses. The sanctions imposed include prohibitions on trading in certain Russian securities, transacting in or dealing in issuances of debt or equity of Russian issuers, supplying certain restricted goods and services to Russian persons, engaging in certain private transactions and doing business with certain Russian corporate entities, large financial institutions, officials oligarchs and Russian annexed regions of Ukraine and the freezing of assets owned or controlled by certain designated persons. The sanctions also include the removal of selected Russian banks from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications, commonly called “SWIFT,” the electronic network that connects banks globally, and imposed restrictive measures to prevent the Russian Central Bank from undermining the impact of the sanctions. Such measures could adversely affect global financial markets and thereby negatively affect the value ofquarter ended March 31, 2023, the Trading Company investments beyond any direct exposuremade appropriate revisions to Russian issuers or thoseits Statements of adjoining geographic regions. In responseCash Flows for comparable prior periods presented. Such changes are reflected for the year ended December 31, 2022 and quarter ended March 31, 2022, included in these financial statements, and will also be reflected in the historical periods included in the Trading Company’s subsequent quarterly and annual financial statements during 202

The impact to the sanctions, the Russian Central Bank has raised its interest ratesStatements of Cash Flows previously filed in Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and banned sales of local securities by foreigners. Russia may take additional counter measures or retaliatory actions, which may further impair the value and liquidity of Russian securities and the Trading Company investments. Such actions could, for example, include restricting gas exports to other countries, seizing U.S. and European residents’ assets or undertaking or provoking other military conflictAnnual Report on Form 10-K is as follows:

elsewhere in Europe, any of which could exacerbate negative consequences on global financial markets and the economy. The actions discussed above could have a negative effect on the performance of funds that have exposure to Russia or to global markets. While diplomatic efforts have been ongoing, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is currently unpredictable and has the potential to result in broadened military actions. The duration of ongoing hostilities and corresponding sanctions and related global events cannot be predicted and may result in a negative impact on the performance and value of the Trading Company investments. While as of September 30, 2022 the Trading Company has no direct Russian investments, the impact of Russian actions on the global markets in general may adversely impact the performance of the Trading Company.9

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Introduction

Reference is made to Item 1, “Financial Statements.” The information contained therein is essential to, and should be read in conjunction with, the following analysis.

Operational Overview

Man-AHL Diversified I L.P. (the “Partnership”) is a fund which engages in speculative trading of futures and forward contracts and related instruments through its investment in Man-AHL Diversified Trading Company L.P. (the “Trading Company”) pursuant to the AHL Diversified Program, directed on behalf of the Trading Company by AHL Partners LLP (the “Trading Advisor”). The Trading Advisor also serves as the Partnership’s commodity pool operator. The AHL Diversified Program is a price trend-following trading system, entirely quantitative in nature, and implements trading positions on the basis of statistical analyses of past price histories. The objective of the AHL Diversified Program is to deliver capital growth for commensurate levels of volatility over the medium term, independent of the movement of the stock and bond markets, through the speculative trading, directly and indirectly, of futures, options and forward contracts, swaps and other financial derivatives both on and off exchange. The AHL Diversified Program trades globally in several market sectors, including, without limitation, currencies, bonds, energies, stock indices, interest rates, credit, metals, agriculturalsagricultural and volatility. In the future, the AHL Diversified Program may, to a limited extent, invest in stocks.

The AHL Diversified Program is proprietary and confidential, so that substantially the only information that can be furnished regarding the Partnership’s results of operations is contained in the performance record of its trading through the Trading Company. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of its future results. Man Investments (USA) Corp., the general partner of the Partnership (the “General Partner”) does believe, however, that there are certain market conditions, for example, markets with pronounced price trends, in which the Partnership has a greater likelihood of being profitable than in other market environments.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Units of limited partnership interests (“Units”) of the Partnership may be offered for sale as of the beginning, and may be redeemed as of the end, of each month.

The Partnership raises additional capital only through the sale of Units and capital is increased through trading profits (if any) and interest income. The Partnership does not engage in borrowing. The Partnership, not being an operating company, does not incur capital expenditures. It functions solely as a passive trading vehicle, investing the substantial majority of its assets in the Trading Company. Its remaining capital resources are used only as assets available to make further investments in the Trading Company and to pay Partnership level expenses. Accordingly, the amount of capital raised for the Partnership should not have a significant impact on its operations.

Partnership assets not invested in the Trading Company are maintained in cash and cash equivalents in bank accounts or accounts with The Bank of New York Mellon and are readily available to the Partnership. The Partnership may redeem any part or all of its limited partnership interest in the Trading Company at any month-end at the net asset value per unit of the Trading Company. The Trading Company’s assets are generally held as cash or cash equivalents which are used to margin futures and provide collateral for forward contracts and other over-the-counter (“OTC”) contract positions and are withdrawn, as necessary, to pay redemptions (to the Partnership and other investors in the Trading Company). Other than potential market-imposed limitations on liquidity, due, for example, to limited open interest in certain futures markets or to daily price fluctuation limits, which are inherent in the Trading Company’s futures trading, the Trading Company’s assets are highly liquid and are expected to remain so.

There have been no material changes with respect to the Partnership’s critical accounting policies, off-balance sheet arrangements or disclosure of contractual obligations as reported in the Partnership’s Form 10-K10-Q filed March 30, 2022.31, 2023 except an immaterial presentation change as noted within Footnote 8 of the Trading Company’s Financial Statements.

Net assets increased $18,479,545decreased $5,532,267 for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023. This increasedecrease was attributable to subscriptions in the amount of $ 1,812,800,$700,000, redemptions in the amount of $ (5,149,372)$858,484 and a net gainloss from operations of $ 21,816,117$5,373,783.

Management feesFees of $ 2,189,292$708,229 and servicing fees of $ 732,986$236,969 were paid or accrued, and interest of $652,108$1,032,270 was earned or accrued on the Partnership’s share of the Trading Company’s cash and cash equivalents, investments and broker balances, for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023.

The Partnership’s other expenses paid or accrued for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 were $693,149.$113,026.

In January, the Partnership generated a positive return with gains from equity, credit, commodity and FX positions marginally offset by losses in fixed income. The rally in risk assets helped to provide a tailwind to the Partnership’s net long equities position. The top performer was a long in the Australian SPI 200

index. A rallying Nasdaq, on the other hand, rising 11% on the month after a -33% return in 2022, did not benefit the Partnership’s short position. Losses were also incurred via short in the Korean Kospi. Credit spreads also narrowed over the month, benefitting short protection CDS positions in US investment-grade and European higher-yielding indices. The US-dollar continued to fall from its peak in November 2022, and this trend was best picked up through long positions in commodity currencies, most notably the Mexican and Chilean pesos. Short positions in the Colombian peso and Israeli shekel against the greenback, on the other hand, generated losses. Profits in commodity trading originated mostly from energy and metals, but with quite different narratives. China’s re-awakening was seemingly beneficial for long copper and gold positions while gold’s price was supported by a weaker US dollar and expectations that central banks might continue to buy gold to support their ‘de-dollarization’. Warm January weather likely contributed to falls in the price of natural gas on both sides of the Atlantic, and profits for the Partnership. Short positions in coffee and platinum generated small losses. Fixed income prices rallied in January on expectations that central banks may ease their rate-hiking plans. Several of the Partnership’s short positions, such as Italian and Australian government bond futures, flipped to long, incurring losses in the process. There were no offsetting profitable fixed income positions in January.

In February, the Partnership generated a positive return, net of fees, with positive attributions from fixed income and FX, and losses from commodities, stocks and credit. Expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) might have more scope to raise rates contributed to a broad sell-off in fixed income instruments, particularly at the short end of the curve. This benefitted the aggregate short positioning in the Partnership, but the greatest beneficiaries were US instruments at the 3m, 2y, and 5-year points. A long position in the UK 10yr gilts, on the other hand, generated a loss. Trading in currencies generated a positive return on the month. The Partnership produced a gain from long USD currency crosses as the greenback rose on greater expectations of further rate rises from the Fed. Top performers were the Swiss franc and Israeli shekel. Short dollar positions against the Euro and Singapore dollar, on the other hand, lost out. Returns from equities dipped into the red, led by long positions in the Australian SPI 200 and MSCI Emerging Markets indices. Trading in credit fared similarly, with losses in US CDS indices overcoming smaller gains in European indices. Losses in commodities were driven by metals, most notably longs in precious metals, and particularly gold which turned tail, losing 5% in February after three successive winning months. Losses from generally short positions in the oil complex led to an overall negative return in energies. Gains were generated in agricultural trading, however, led by a short in wheat whose price fell for the fifth straight month amid news of changes in Russian and Ukrainian supply, as well as improved forecasts for the US crop.

In March, losses were driven by fixed income, equities, and credit positions. A decline of 61bp on 13th of March for US 2-year Treasury yields was the largest decline in over 40 years, was against the prevailing price trend, and was detrimental to a short in the instrument and indeed all other tenors of US treasuries traded by the Partnership. Canadian bonds and the US 5yr treasury generated losses in fixed income trading as all markets were contributed negatively on the month. A long position in the FTSE 100 as well as a short in the Australian SPI 200 detracted the most from an equity standpoint. Risk-on positions in CDS indices also were hurt among a the seeming flight-to-safety, with European and US investment grade companies most clearly in the crosshairs. Commodities trading was relatively unscathed by the crisis in financial markets. A silver position generated a loss as it flipped from short to long as precious metals seemingly benefitted from a flight-to-quality effect. Prices of EUA carbon emissions, on the other hand, fell along with risk assets, generating losses for the Partnership’s long position. Sugar trading was beneficial, however, as prices hit a 10-year high, possibly driven in part by declining crop yields resulting from poor weather and a ban on pesticides. Currency trading was mixed, dipping into the red overall. Short positions in safe-haven currencies such as the Swiss franc and Japanese yen generated losses in the flight-to-quality episode. Winning trades exhibited less of a clear pattern; long Euro against the Norwegian krone as well as a long Chilean peso against the US dollar generated a modest gain.

Three months ended September 30,March 31, 2022:

Net assets increased $5,496,481$10,607,740 for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2022. This increase was attributable to subscriptions in the amount of $ 1,763,800,$0, redemptions in the amount of $ (1,553,281)$249,381 and a net gain from operations of $ 5,285,962.$10,857,121.

Management Fees of $ 745,739682,615 and servicing fees of $ 249,541228,628 were paid or accrued, and interest of $ $470,484$42,960 was earned or accrued on the Partnership’s share of the Trading Company’s cash and cash equivalent investments and broker balances, for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2022.

The Partnership’s other expenses paid or accrued for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 were $230,095.

In July, the Partnership had negative returns net of fees driven by losses across all asset classes. Fixed income markets rallied in July, much to the detriment of the Partnership’s short positioning. Some of the worst offenders were German, Italian and US Treasury bonds, where losses were generated across all five tenors traded. No positions made gains. In equities trading, the Partnership’s short positions in the Singapore MSCI and Nasdaq 100 also lost out, though some offsetting gains were made in a short position in the VIX. The Partnership’s credit trading saw fewer bright spots, with the biggest losses from long CDS positions in US investment-grade and high-yield indices. Commodities also lost out in aggregate, most notably in the agricultural positions in coffee and soybeans, both of which saw large intra-month price ranges. Metals trading also dipped into the red overall as uniformly short positioning across markets saw gains in copper and gold negated by losses in lead and palladium. An overall loss in energies trading was dominated by losses in the crude oil complex through long positions. On the positive side, the Partnership’s long position in US natural gas was positive as futures prices rose over 50%, while its European gas long positions also gained. FX trading ended with a small loss, as performance mirrored the fortunes of the US dollar, which reversed mid-month against a basket of currencies. A long in the Polish zloty and a short in the Japanese yen were the worst offenders, while a short in the Euro saw the largest gain despite the European Central Bank’s (the “ECB”) rate rise.

In August, the Partnership had positive returns net of fees, with gains driven by fixed income, FX, and commodities offsetting losses from equities. Fixed income trading was positive, particularly from short positions at the short end of interest-rate curves. Short positions also contributed positively at the 10-year points in UK and Italian government bonds, though the Partnership experienced a loss from longs in Japanese 10-year bonds. The Partnership’s FX trading was bolstered by a strong US dollar, which rose against a basket of currencies of trading partners of the US. Some of the Partnership’s top performers were shorts in the South Korean won and Swiss franc. Losses were dominated by pairs involving short Euro, notably against the British pound. In commodities trading, silver fell 12% on the month, which generated a positive return for the Partnership’s short position. Long energy positions, notably in US and Dutch natural gas, were also positive. Trading in agricultural commodities was mixed with an overall loss originating mainly from a long cotton position. Equities trading generated a negative return in aggregate, though no position generated significant losses or gains. A short in the MSCI EAFE index generated a small gain, while a long in the Dutch All Index generated a loss. Credit positions were similarly small, and an overall loss was dominated by mixed positioning in US indices.

The Partnership ended September with positive returns net of fees, with gains from fixed income, currency and equities, and a loss from commodities. In fixed income trading, the Partnership’s short positioning across the maturity spectrum brought in positive returns, with gains in interest-rates - SOFR and SONIA - and US Treasury bond futures contracts across the curve. The top performing bond futures position was a short in 10-year Gilts. Losses were incurred from a long Japanese 10yr Bond position. In currency trading, a number of the Partnership’s short positions against the US dollar were beneficial, most notably in the South Korean won and the Euro. Losses were incurred from a long in the Brazilian real, however, as the currency retreated from gains in July and August. Trading in equities was profitable in aggregate. Shorts in the MSCI EM and Asian indices were star performers, with the Korean Kospi, for example, falling almost 13%. A short in the VIX index generated offsetting losses. The Partnership’s mixed positioning in credit trading generated a loss, particularly in higher yielding indices. Commodities also generated a loss for the Partnership overall amidst a backdrop of falling commodity prices and a strengthening US dollar. Energies trading dipped into the red, driven predominantly by a long US natural gas

34


position. Losses in agriculturals were driven by longs in coffee and soybeans. Metals positioning, however, had been net short since early summer and is now uniformly short. Top gainers this month were gold and aluminium while silver detracted.

Three months ended June 30, 2022:

In April, the Partnership experienced positive returns, dominated by fixed income, energies, and FX with metals and equities detracting. The increasingly hawkish stance of the Fed and ECB and the continuing pressure on bonds played to the hand of the Partnership’s dominant short positions. Some of the top performers were in Italian 10-year government bonds, although short positions across the US curve were also positive. The Partnership’s long position in the Japanese 10yr bond finished flat and was one of the worst performers in the asset class. Trading in commodities was also positive in aggregate, with gains from long US natural gas positions benefitting from Europe’s desire to wean itself off Russian energy. This offset the losses from the Partnership’s long positions in copper and gold, two of the Partnership’s worst performers for the month. On the debit side, long metals positions, notably in copper and gold, detracted as prices reversed mid-month. The Partnership’s currency trading finished in the black, as the US dollar continued to rise against a basket of currencies. In developed markets, short positions in the Euro and Japanese yen against the greenback continued to be positive as well. Long positions in commodity currencies such as the South African rand and the Canadian dollar, on the other hand, lost out. On the negative side, trading in equities finished down. A short position in the MSCI emerging market index generated positive performance, while a short position in the VIX volatility index detracted. There was a small gain in credit trading as positions oscillated around zero.

In May, the Partnership finished the month down net of fees with losses in FX, equities, metals, and agriculturals offsetting small gains from energies and fixed income. Long energies positions continued to perform positively, notably in US natural gas and the crude oil complex. On the other hand, the Partnership’s position in base metals such as aluminum and zinc did not fare as well, although trading was more mixed for precious positions, with gains from a short in silver. The steady yield increases seen in fixed income markets year-to-date took a hiatus in May, and returns from the asset class were muted as a result. One of the top performers was a short position in Italian 10-year bonds. A short position in US 5yr treasuries, on the other hand, lost out. The Partnership built into a net short equity position as the month progressed, which was beneficial until the last week of the month. Trading finished the month in the red, with top performers being shorts in the Singapore MSCI and Nasdaq 100 indices, while longs in the Australian SPI 200 and Indian Nifty indices lost out. Short credit positions were also detrimental in the last week of the month, most notably from a CDS index position in US investment-grade names. Concerns over growth in the US weighed on the US dollar, which reversed direction mid-month versus a basket of other currencies. This had a detrimental effect on Asian currency pairs such as the South Korean won and Singapore dollar, which were the Partnership’s two worst performers, although the Partnership’s long positions in commodity currencies, such as the Mexican peso and Brazilian real offset some of these losses.

The Partnership’s performance in June was bifurcated, giving up mid-month gains to finish with a positive return. Gains in fixed income, credit, and currencies were partially offset by losses in commodities. Despite the reversal mid-month, trading in fixed income finished in the black. Short-term rates contracts generated a positive return, as did Canadian and Italian 10yr bonds, while a long position in 10-year Japanese government bonds detracted. Shorts in credit performed positively as risk assets sold off throughout the month, notably in European investment-grade and high-yielding names. Trading in equities managed to eke out a gain as short positions in Asian indices, notably the Taiwan and Singapore MSCI, did best. A FTSE 100 long detracted from performance. US dollar strength was very much the theme in currency trading. Losses from longs in commodity currencies such as the Mexican peso and Brazilian real were offset by gains from US dollar longs against currencies such as the Korean won and Australian dollar. For the first month this year, commodities trading generated a loss. Agriculturals detracted, notably longs in soybeans and wheat, and longs in energies also caused pain. The Partnership’s short metals positions were positive, however, with silver and copper being some of the top performers.

Three months ended March 31, 2022:$238,994.

The Partnership started the year down, as gains from long energies, long agriculturals,agricultural and short bonds were broadly offset by losses from long credit and equity positions. The Partnership entered the new year with net long

35


positions in equities and credit, which struggled against a bearish market. On the equity side, the rotation from growth to value compounded losses for long positions in S&P 500 and NASDAQ indices, and the Partnership posted losses in the Australian SPI 200 as well. Gains were seen in short FTSE China A50 index positions. Losses were also incurred from long credit positions, most notably in US 5-year investment-grade and European high-yield indices. Currency trading was mixed, just dipping into the red in aggregate. The US dollar rose in a broadly risk-off environment, which hurt the Partnership’s long positions against the greenback such as the Colombian peso and UK sterling, while a long in the Brazilian real and a short in the Korean won fared best. In the fixed income markets, benchmark US 10-year Treasuries rose around 30bp, and yields generally rose at all maturities, benefiting the Partnership’s short positioning across the curve, with top performers being in the US, from overnight-rates out to 10y. Long positions in German 2-year and Japanese 10-year bonds struggled, however, and generated losses. In the commodities market, the price of oil went up, and Brent futures reached seven-year highs of $90 a barrel. This increase had a positive result for the Partnership’s long positions in the oil complex, most notably heating and gas oil. Longs in agricultural commodities were also beneficial, particularly soybeans and soyoil. Precious metals generated losses, however, with gold failing to find a clear direction in the New Year.

In February, the Partnership ultimately finished up with gains from commodities and fixed income being slightly offset by losses in FX. Against the backdrop of warfare between Russia and Ukraine, commodity prices almost uniformly drove higher. The oil complex saw gains for the Partnership, alongside soybean and corn positions. Metals performance was more nuanced with longs in gold and aluminium beneficial but a similar position in silver detracted. The Partnership entered February short most fixed income instruments across maturities. This proved beneficial overall; the top performer was in 10-year Italian government bonds, while a long position in 2-year German bonds lost out. The Partnership’s losses in equities were driven by shorts in the Singapore MSCI and longs in the S&P TSX 60 indices, which were not offset by gains made in short positions in China’s H-shares index. The Partnership’s credit positions were positive; a position in European 5-year iTraxx CDS index was the top performer, flipping from short to long protection mid-month, and benefiting from risk-off sentiment. FX trading saw losses overall on volatile FX rates. Several pairs saw losses, with shorts in the New Zealand dollar and Euro against the US dollar faring worst, although longs in commodity currencies such as the Brazilian real, also against the greenback, performed well.

35


To finish out the first quarter, March saw the Partnership finish with positive returns as commodity, FX, and fixed income trading gains offset the losses in credit. Commodities once more were top contributors for the Partnership, led by energies where long positions in the oil complex were accretive, although for the second month in a row, long positions in carbon emissions detracted on perception of lower energy demand. Long metals positions also generated positive returns, most notably gold but also nickel which gained on a well-publicized short squeeze at the London Metal Exchange. Trading in agricultural commodities was also positive, with corn and wheat top performers. Losses were seen in coffee and cocoa trading. The Partnership also saw positive returns from pairs involving long commodity currencies such as the Brazilian real and Australian dollar. Crosses against the Japanese yen were particularly beneficial as well, while long positions in the British pound against both the Euro and US dollar incurred losses. Short fixed income positions were also beneficial, particularly SOFR and 2-year bond futures. A short in German Schatz futures, on the other hand, generated a loss. The Partnership transitioned from short to small long in both equites and credit as the month progressed. Equities trading was marginally positive overall, with the top performers being Chinese indices. Credit trading dipped into the red, however, with losses driven by long CDS positions in the European high yield index

The Partnership’s other expenses paid or accrued for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were $257,673.

The Partnership entered the second half of the year with record highs and better-than-expected earnings although there were coronavirus-related bumps along the way. Bond markets did not encounter a sell-off, even with the additional news of consumer price inflation in the US hitting its highest levels since 2008. The price of natural gas continued its recent upward trajectory on tight supply and increasing demand. The Partnership posted negative returns with gains in fixed income and commodities offset by losses in FX and equities. Dominantly long fixed income positions were top performers for the Partnership. Italian, German, and French 10-year bonds topped the list for the asset class while losses were incurred from positions in German and US 2-year bonds amid spikes in the number of coronavirus cases. The prices of natural gas in the US and in the UK/EU extended their rise, spurred in part by forecasts of above normal temperatures in central USA regions, and generated the greatest returns for the Partnership. Long coffee positions were also beneficial, with prices at seven-year highs amid extreme weather in Brazil, the world’s biggest coffee exporter. Prices of sugar and corn, on the other hand, were rangebound and led to losses. Although many equity indices ended July in positive territory, their route was impeded mid-month in part by coronavirus worries. Overall, net long positioning led to negative performance for the asset class, led by the MSCI EM and Russell 2000 indices, although there were pockets of strength in trading the Swedish OM and NASDAQ 100 indices. Credit trading finished the month down. Trading in currencies finished the month in the red, with losses predominantly from a long Brazilian real position against the US dollar driven in part by corruption scandals involving President Jair Bolsonaro. Offsetting this loss, however, were gains made through shorts in the Australian dollar against both the greenback and Great British pound as major cities such as Sydney and Melbourne went into lockdown.

In August, the Partnership’s risk assets benefitted. In the US, comments from Jerome Powell, Chairman of the Federal Reserve, assuaged market fears of near-term tapering, and the latest jobs report showed a continued rebound from weaker job numbers. The Partnership saw gains from energy, equity, and credit positions offset by losses in fixed income and FX. August saw marked dispersion across the commodity spectrum. Natural gas prices continued to rally; in the US, one reason cited was a low inventory forecast for the beginning of the winter heating season by the Energy Information Administration, while in Europe there was news that Russia was pumping less gas to the continent. Whatever the reason, profits resulted for the Partnership’s long positions. The oil complex, on the other hand, deviated from its previously strong 2021 performance, declining on concerns of slowing demand in China and the rise of the Covid-19 Delta variant, and incurred losses. In commodities, a long sugar position generated a gain on reports of a frost in Brazil, the world’s top producer, while a long copper position generated a loss. In equities, several key benchmarks such as the S&P 500 hit fresh all-time highs. This benefitted dominantly long positions in the Partnership, with India’s Nifty Index as the top performer. A long in the Singapore MSCI Index, on the other hand, lost out on Covid-19 Delta variant concerns and negative pressure on Asian technology stocks. Credit spreads also tightened over the month, benefitting long credit positions, most notably the US investment grade CDS index. Fixed income positions detracted in August amidst overall subdued price moves. European bonds fared worst, with German, French, and Italian bonds all selling-off to the detriment of the Partnership’s long positions, while a long in Australian 10-year bonds generated a small profit. Like fixed income,

37


FX trading also finished the month in the red and there were few significant gains or losses. A long position in the Mexican peso against the US dollar lost out mid-month despite the Banco de Mexico raising rates. A long position in the Indian rupee against the greenback, on the other hand, gained towards the end of the month.

As the quarter ended, markets appeared worried about the prospect of earlier than anticipated tapering of quantitative easing in the US, the highest German inflation rate in almost three decades, the potential default of Evergrande in China (the world’s most indebted real estate developer) and supply chain disruption characterised by queues for fuel in the UK. Broadly, this market worry did not suit the Partnership’s dominantly long positioning and resulted in a negative return, with losses in equities, fixed income and FX overcoming gains in energies. The macro-economic environment had its greatest impact on the Partnership’s generally risk-on positioning in equities, and the effect was compounded by sector rotation. Worst performers were longs in the Australian SPI 200 and S&P 500 indices, while smaller gains were made in long Tokyo stock exchange and Nifty indices. Losses were also seen in the Partnership’s long credit positions, most notably in the US. Government bond yields, which rose for the second month running. The “dot plots” may have given an indication of the timing of future rises in the US, but elsewhere—Czech Republic for example—actual rises in interest rates came in ahead of market expectations. Long positions in Italian bonds caused the greatest losses, although there were small offsetting gains from a short in the UK 10-year gilts. Rising US bond yields helped provide a tailwind to the US dollar. The Mexican peso declined against the greenback despite the Banco de Mexico raising rates for the third time this year, generating the asset class’s biggest loss in the Partnership. A short in the Swiss franc, on the other hand, was beneficial. Commodities was the only asset class to maintain its recent direction of travel, and once again it was the energies sub-component that generated the greatest attention. Trading in US natural gas generated the greatest gains for the Partnership as prices rose to seven-year highs, propelled by surging demand. A long copper position generated a loss as prices fell 6% on the month.

Three months ended June 30, 2021:

Risk assets and commodities surged ahead in April, spurred by good corporate earnings, a Federal Reserve in no hurry to withdraw stimulus, and the IMF lifting global growth forecasts for the second time in three months. This has fueled high demand for technology goods and led to a shortage of semiconductors, prompting frenetic attempts to increase capacity in East Asia as well as halting production for some auto manufacturers. Against this backdrop, the Partnership posted positive returns with gains dominated by commodities and equities, and offsetting losses in fixed income and FX. Long commodity positions continued to make hay as economic optimism lifted and talk of inflation in earnings calls increased, although long positions in coffee and gold made losses. Positive overall performance in equities was topped by longs in Australia’s SPI 200 and Taiwan’s MSCI indices. Longs in the Japan’s TSE index marginally detracted. Credit spreads also tightened, with gains dominated by short CDS positions in US indices. Fixed income yields in April took a respite from their recent rising theme, which resulted in a slight loss from the Partnership’s small aggregate short positions. Losses were dominated by Canadian and US instruments, while small gains were made in their European counterparts. Losses in FX trading were also small in aggregate, and individual gains or losses depended broadly on positioning against the US dollar. Long positions in the greenback against the Swiss franc and New Zealand dollar were worst hit as the US Federal Reserve struck a dovish tone and US Treasury yields declined. Similar reasoning played out well for US dollar shorts against the Euro and Canadian dollar.

In May, inflationary fears were once again stoked on the release of April’s US consumer price inflation which showed an annualized rate of 4.2% - significantly higher than estimates and the biggest rise since 2008. This drove commodity prices higher, but apart from initial volatility, equities finished the month in positive territory and bonds yields were firm. Cryptocurrencies, on the other hand, were highly volatile after Elon Musk expressed concern over their environmental impact and negative comments from several authorities. Against this backdrop, the Partnership posted positive returns with gains in commodities and FX only marginally offset by losses in stocks and bonds. Currencies was a fertile trading ground for the Partnership in May. Rising risk appetite in markets led to rising EM FX rates in general, with the primary beneficiary in the Partnership being the South African rand. Confidence in the British pound continued as Brexit recedes further into the rear-view mirror and vaccination success continues to be newsworthy, leading to gains against the US dollar and the Japanese yen. Losses were incurred from short positions in the Chilean peso and New Zealand dollar against the greenback.

38


Long positions in crude and the oil complex were broadly gainful, as was a long position in carbon emissions whose year-to-date gain is now just shy of 60%. In metals the story was similarly positive. In addition to copper, long positions in silver, aluminum and gold were profitable. The main detractor in the commodities complex was a long in wheat, which retraced half of April’s 20% gain. Trading in equities finished slightly down. Top performer was a long in the Canadian TSX index, spurred by rising commodities, while longs in Taiwanese indices generated losses as the rise in prices due to a global semiconductor shortage took a breather. Credit trading resulted in a small gain. A combination of little movement in fixed income yields and low bond risk levels meant that trading in the asset class was subdued. Overall there was a loss, with gains from US 2yr and 5yr treasuries being slightly offset by losses from shorts in UK and longs in Canadian bonds.

Markets were shaken mid-June as the US Federal Reserve (‘Fed’) struck a more hawkish tone, with the ‘dot plot’ of policymakers’ projections now pointing to two interest-rate hikes in 2023 (where previously there were none). The US dollar rallied on the news, while commodities fell on the perception of lower inflation risk. Elsewhere, at the G7 summit in Cornwall, global leaders agreed to harmonize corporate tax rates. The Partnership posted negative returns with losses from currency, metals and fixed income trading slightly outweighing gains from equities, credit and energies. Currency trading was hardest hit by the perceived more hawkish tone from the Fed, with losses experienced in a number of positions as the US dollar spiked. Worst offenders were euro and Canadian dollar longs versus the greenback, although a similar position in the Brazilian real profited as the country hiked rates by 75bp. In US bond markets, long positions in long-dated futures made small gains, while short positions in 2- and 5-year futures lost out. A long position in the Eurodollar also contributed to losses. Equities’ path through the month was much smoother than currencies and bonds, and the Partnership’s long position in the Australian SPI 200 benefited. Bullishness for risk assets also fed into the Partnership’s credit positions, with gains being made across the board, most notably European 5y Crossover. Commodity performance was mixed. Long positions in agriculturals and metals suffered, particularly soybean, copper and precious metals holdings. Prices in the energy complex, on the other hand, continued their ongoing rally. Nowhere was this more apparent than in gas markets on both sides of the Atlantic. Indeed, the long in US natural gas ended the month as the top performer across the Partnership.

Three months ended March 31, 2021:

The Partnership started the year down, as negative returns driven by currencies and fixed income overcame gains in commodities trading. With respect to the Partnership’s currency trading, a bounce in the US dollar versus a basket of currencies representing the United States’ trading partners hurt the Partnership’s short positions in the US dollar, particularly in such positions against the South African rand and Japanese yen. Longs in the Chinese renminbi and Indian rupee made token gains. In the Partnership’s fixed income trading, yields across developed markets generally rose on the month. US bond yields breached 1%, hurting the Partnership’s broadly long positions in US bonds, which more than offset the gains posted in its short position in long-dated bonds. The Partnership’s equity trading on the month was marginally positive, as gains were accrued from longs in North American capital goods, and Taiwanese indices. A short position in the VIX volatility index, on the other hand, caused losses as the index spiked in the final few days. Credit trading also dipped into the red towards the end of the month as short CDS positions in European high-yield and US investment grade names posted losses. Commodities were the bright spot for the Partnership in January. Long soyabeans and corn were the top contributors to the Partnership’s gains, as well as crude oil, which Crude oil also rose over 7% on the month, benefitting the Partnership’s long positions.

In February, the Partnership posted positive returns with gains in commodities, equities, and fixed income, overcoming minor losses in FX and credit. Long commodity positions were top performers for the Partnership as crude oil rose almost 20% and sugar rose 10% on the month, and the Partnership’s copper position was the top performer in the entire portfolio rising 15%. These gains were more than enough to offset the Partnership’s losses from a short position in natural gas. The Partnership’s equity trading also finished the month in positive territory, with the Partnership’s positions in the S&P TSX 60 and Nikkei futures being top performers. Fixed income generated a positive return as positioning shifted from net long to net short mid-way through the month. Top performers were shorts in German bunds and Australian 10-year bonds, while losses were led by Italian 10-year bonds which switched positions from long to short as the month progressed. The Partnership’s credit trading was slightly lower on the month, as short CDS positions in US high yield names generated a small gain while

39


similar positioning in US investment names generated a marginally larger loss. Finally, the majority of the Partnership’s losses on the month were generated in its FX trading, though such losses were mild. Long Australian dollar positions versus both the US dollar and Japanese yen performed well along with long in the Swiss franc versus the US dollar; none of those gains were enough to offset the losses from long positions in the Indian rupee, EURO Mexican Peso and Japanese yen against the US dollar.

The Partnership finished up the first quarter with in the black, as positive returns in equities, FX, and credit outweighed losses in commodities. The Partnership’s gains in equity trading was led by its dominantly long equity positions, as well as its positions in Sweden’s OM index and Germany’s Dax indices. A short VIX volatility position was also beneficial as, as were long credit positions particularly in Europe. FX was also fruitful for the Partnership, with short positions in the Swiss franc and Japanese yen against the US dollar, as well as a short position in the Euro against the Canadian dollar, the top performers. Some losses were seen in the Partnership’s long positions against the dollar in the Euro and UK Stirling, as well as a flat position in the Turkish Lira. Fixed income trading generated a small positive return, as gains from short positions in 10y and 30y US treasuries offset losses from short positions in German 5y and 10y bonds. Reversing course from February, the Partnership’s commodities trading ended March down. The Partnership’s long positions, most notably in agricultural commodities such as cocoa and sugar, and metals such as nickel, posted the largest losses, while small offsetting gains were made in individual markets such as lean hogs and palladium.

ITEM 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Introduction

Past Results Are Not Necessarily Indicative of Future Performance

The Partnership is a speculative commodity pool. Unlike an operating company, the risk of market sensitive instruments is integral, not incidental, to the Partnership’s main line of business.

Market movements result in frequent changes in the fair market value of the Partnership’s open positions and, consequently, in its earnings and cash flow. The Partnership’s market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including the level and volatility of interest rates, exchange rates, equity price levels, the market value of financial instruments and contracts, the diversification effects among the Partnership’s open positions and the liquidity of the markets in which it trades.

The Partnership can rapidly acquire and/or liquidate both long and short positions in a wide range of different markets. Consequently, it is not possible to predict how a particular future market scenario will affect performance, and the Partnership’s past performance is not necessarily indicative of its future results.

Value at Risk is a measure of the maximum amount which the Partnership could reasonably be expected to lose in a given market sector. However, the inherent uncertainty of the Partnership’s speculative trading and the recurrence in the markets traded by the Partnership of market movements far exceeding expectations could result in actual trading or non-trading losses far beyond the indicated Value at Risk or the Partnership’s experience to date (i.e., “risk of ruin”). In light of the foregoing as well as the risks and uncertainties intrinsic to all future projections, the inclusion of the quantification included in this section should not be considered to constitute any assurance or representation that the Partnership’s losses in any market sector will be limited to Value at Risk or by the Partnership’s attempts to manage its market risk.

Materiality, as used in this section “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” is based on an assessment of reasonably possible market movements and the potential losses caused by such movements, taking into account the leverage, optionality and multiplier features of the Partnership’s market sensitive instruments.

Quantifying the Partnership’s Trading Value at Risk

Quantitative Forward-Looking Statements

The following quantitative disclosures regarding the Partnership’s market risk exposures contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor from civil liability provided for such statements by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). All quantitative disclosures in this section are deemed to be forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor, except for statements of historical fact.

36


The Partnership’s risk exposure in the various market sectors traded by the General Partner is quantified below in terms of Value at Risk. Due to the Partnership’s mark-to-market accounting, any loss in the fair value of the Partnership’s open positions is directly reflected in the Partnership’s earnings (realized or unrealized) and cash flow (at least in the case of exchange-traded contracts in which profits and losses on open positions are settled daily through variation margin).

For regulatory purposes, exchange initial margin requirements have been used by the Partnership as the measure of its Value at Risk. For trading and internal risk monitoring purposes, a different approach based on simulated market movements is used. Initial margin requirements include a credit risk factor and a maintenance margin factor and thus overstate the maximum one-day loss reflected by the maintenance margin requirement by the amount of the credit risk factor used in setting initial margin requirements. Maintenance margin requirements are set by dealers, exchanges and OTC clearing counterparties to equal or exceed 95-99% of the maximum one-day losses in the fair value of any given contract incurred during the time period over which historical price fluctuations are researched for purposes of establishing margin levels. The maintenance margin levels are established by dealers, exchanges and exchangesOTC clearing counterparties using historical price studies as well as an assessment of current market volatility (including the implied volatility of the options on a given futures contract) and economic fundamentals to provide a probabilistic estimate of the maximum expected near-term one-day price fluctuation.

In the case of market sensitive instruments that are not exchange traded (almost exclusively currencies in the case of the Partnership), dealers’ margins have been used as Value at Risk.

The fair value of the Partnership’s futures and forward positions does not have any optionality component. However, the General Partner may also trade commodity options on behalf of the Partnership. The Value at Risk associated with options would be reflected in the margin requirement attributable to the instrument underlying each option.

In quantifying the Partnership’s Value at Risk, 100% positive correlation in the different positions held in each market risk category has been assumed. Consequently, the margin requirements applicable to the open contracts have simply been aggregated to determine each trading category’s aggregate Value at Risk. The diversification effects resulting from the fact that the Partnership’s positions are rarely, if ever, 100% positively correlated have not been reflected.

Average capitalization is the Partnership’s average quarter-end capitalization at the end of the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023.

Material Limitations on Value at Risk as an Assessment of Market Risk

The face value of the market sector instruments held by the Partnership is typically many times the applicable initial or maintenance margin requirement (maintenance margin requirements generally ranging between approximately 1% and 10% of contract face value) as well as many times the capitalization of the Partnership. The magnitude of the Partnership’s open positions creates a “risk of ruin” not typically found in most other investment vehicles. Because of the size of its positions, certain market conditions — unusual, but historically recurring from time to time — could cause the Partnership to incur severe losses over a short period of time. The foregoing Value at Risk table — as well as the past performance of the Partnership — gives no indication of this “risk of ruin.”

Non-Trading Risk

The Partnership has non-trading market risk on its foreign cash balances not needed for margin. However, these balances (as well as any market risk they represent) are immaterial.

The Partnership also has non-trading cash flow risk as a result of holding a substantial portion of its assets in U.S. government securities (Treasury Bills) and interest-bearing bank accounts. These cash and cash equivalentsinvestments are placed with highly rated counterparties with a priority placed on preservation of capital and reputation (i.e., appropriate level of credit risk, market risk and reputation risk) and liquidity (i.e., appropriate level of liquidity risk).

Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Primary Trading Risk Exposures

The following qualitative disclosures regarding the Partnership’s market risk exposures — except for (i) those disclosures that are statements of historical fact and (ii) the descriptions of how the General Partner manages the Partnership’s primary market risk exposures — constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act. The Partnership’s primary market risk exposures as well as the strategies used and to be used by the General Partner for managing such exposures are subject to numerous uncertainties, contingencies and risks, any one of which could cause the actual results of the Partnership’s risk controls to differ materially from the objectives of such strategies. Government

42


interventions, defaults and expropriations, illiquid markets, the emergence of dominant fundamental factors, political upheavals, changes in historical price relationships, an influx of new market participants, increased regulation and many other factors could result in material losses as well as in material changes to the risk exposures and the risk management strategies of the Partnership. There can be no assurance that the Partnership’s current market exposure and/or risk management strategies will not change materially or that any such strategies will be effective in either the short- or long-term. Investors must be prepared to lose all or substantially all of their investment in the Partnership.

The following were the primary trading risk exposures of the Partnership as of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, by market sector.

Fixed Income. Interest rate movements directly affect the price of the sovereign bond futures positions held by the Partnership and indirectly the value of its stock index and currency positions. Interest rate movements in one country as well as relative interest rate movements between countries may materially impact the Partnership’s profitability. The Partnership’s primary interest rate exposure is to interest rate fluctuations in the United States, Germany, Italy, Australia, Canada, and Australia.the UK. However, the Partnership also may take positions in futures contracts on the government debt of smaller nations. The General Partner anticipates that G-7 interest rates, both long-term and short-term, will remain the primary market exposure of the Partnership for the foreseeable future.

38


Currencies. Exchange rate risk is the principal market exposure of the Partnership. The Partnership’s currency exposure is to exchange rate fluctuations, primarily fluctuations which disrupt the historical pricing relationships between different currencies and currency pairs. These fluctuations are influenced by interest rate changes as well as political and general economic conditions. The Partnership trades in a large number of currencies, including cross-rates — i.e., positions between two currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the Partnership’s primary currency exposures were in the U.S. Dollar versus the Euro,Korean Won, Australian Dollar, Swiss Franc, Mexican Peso South Korean Won and Australian Dollar.Euro.

Stock Indices. The Partnership’s primary equity exposure, through stock index futures, is to equity price risk in the G-7 countries. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the Partnership’s primary exposures were in the MSCI Emerging Market, Hang Seng, H-Shares and Taiwan MSCI, Nifty, Tokyo Stock Exchange and Russell 2000 indices. The Partnership is primarily exposed to the risk of adverse price trends or static markets in the major North American, European and Asian indices. (Static markets would not cause major market changes but could make it difficult for the Partnership to avoid numerous small losses.)

Metals. The AHL Diversified Program used for the Partnership trades precious and base metals. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the Partnership’s primary metals market exposures were in Gold, Copper, SilverAluminum and Aluminum.Silver.

Agricultural. The Partnership’sPartnership has exposure to agricultural price movements, which are often directly affected by severe or unexpected weather conditions. Coffee,Sugar, Wheat, Cocoa Corn and SoybeansLean Hogs accounted for the substantial bulk of the Partnership’s commodities exposure as of September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023.

Energy. The Partnership’s primary energy market exposure is to gas and oil price movements, often resulting from political developments in the Middle East and economic conditions worldwide. Energy prices are volatile and substantial profits and losses have been and are expected to continue to be experienced in this market. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the main exposures were in US Natural Gas, Crude Oil, Heating Oil, Gasoline and Carbon Emissions.European Natural Gas.

Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Non-Trading Risk Exposure

The following were the only non-trading risk exposures of the Partnership as of September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023.

Foreign Currency Balances. The Partnership’s primary foreign currency balance is in Euro. The Partnership controls the non-trading risk of these balances by regularly converting these balances back into U.S. dollars (no less frequently than twice a month).

43


Cash Positions and Investments in Treasury Bills. The Partnership’s only market exposure in instruments held other than for trading is in its cash portfolio.portfolio and investments in Treasury Bills. The Partnership holds only cashinvestments in U.S. Treasury Bills and interest-bearing bank accounts. Thisaccounts and US Treasury Bills. These cash ispositions and investments in treasury bills are placed with highly rated counterparties with a priority placed on preservation of capital and reputation (i.e.(i.e., appropriate level of credit risk, market risk and reputation risk) and liquidity (i.e.(i.e., appropriate level of liquidity risk) with durations no longer than 1 year.

Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Means of Managing Risk Exposure

Risk management is an essential component of AHL’s investment management process. AHL has put in place a risk management framework which is designed to identify, monitor and mitigate the portfolio, operational and outsourcing risks relevant to its operations. AHL’s risk management framework is part of, and is supported by, the overarching risk management framework of its parent company, Man Group plc. Key principles of AHL’s risk management framework include the segregation of functions and duties where material conflicts of interest may arise and having an appropriate degree of independent and senior management oversight of business activities. As part of this independent oversight, AHL’s activities are subject to regular review by an internal audit function.

39


The AHL Diversified Program employs a systematic, statistically based investment strategy that is designed to identify and capitalize on trends and other inefficiencies in markets around the world. Trading signals are generated and executed via a finely tuned trading and implementation infrastructure. This process is quantitative, meaning that investment decisions are entirely driven by mathematical models based on quantitative analysis of historical relationships. It is underpinned by rigorous risk control, ongoing research, diversification and the constant quest for efficiency. Portfolio risk management consists primarily of monitoring risk measures and ensuring the systems remain within prescribed limits. The major risk monitoring measures and focus areas include value-at-risk, stress testing, implied volatility, leverage, margin-to-equity ratios and net exposures to sectors and different currencies.

Diversification is also a key feature of AHL’s risk management, as well as its investment, process. As well as emphasizing sector and market diversification, the AHL Diversified Program has been constructed to achieve diversification by combining various investment strategies. The AHL Diversified Program trades approximately 250 markets and these markets may be accessed directly or indirectly and include, without limitation, stock indices, bonds, currencies, short-term interest rates, energies, credits, metals, agriculturals and volatility. Another important aspect of diversification is the fact that the models generate signals across different timeframes, ranging from two to three days to several months. In line with the principle of diversification, the approach to portfolio construction and asset allocation is premised on the importance of deploying investment capital across the full range of sectors and markets. Particular attention is paid to correlation of markets and sectors, expected returns, trading costs and market liquidity. Portfolios are regularly reviewed and, when necessary, adjusted to reflect changes in these factors. AHL also has a systematic process for adjusting its market risk exposure in real time to reflect changes in the volatility, a measure of risk, of individual markets.

Item 1A.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Risk of LossLoss.. Investing in the Partnership is speculative and involves substantial risks. You should not invest unless you can afford to lose your entire investment.

General. The transactions in which the Trading Advisor generally will engage on behalf of the Partnership involve significant risks. Growing competition may limit the Trading Advisor’s ability to take advantage of trading opportunities in rapidly changing markets. No assurance can be given that investors will realize a profit on their investment. Moreover, investors may lose all or some of their investment. Because of the nature of the trading activities, the results of the Partnership’s operations may fluctuate from month to month and from period to period. Accordingly, investors should understand that the results of a particular period will not necessarily be indicative of results in future periods.

Markets Are Volatile and Difficult to Predict. Trading in futures is a speculative activity. Futures prices may be highly volatile. Market prices are difficult to predict and are influenced by many factors, including: changes in interest rates; governmental, agricultural, trade, fiscal, monetary and exchange control programs and policies; weather and climate conditions; changing supply and demand relationships; national and international political and economic events; and the changing philosophies and emotions of market participants. In addition, governments intervene in particular markets from time to time, both directly and by regulation, often with the intent to influence prices. The effects of government intervention may be particularly significant in the financial instrument and currency markets, and may cause such markets to move rapidly.

Trading Is Highly Leveraged. The low margin deposits normally required in futures trading permit an extremely high degree of leverage. A relatively small movement in the price of a futures contract may result in immediate and substantial loss or gain to a trader holding a position in such contract. For example, if at the time of purchase 10% of the price of a futures contract is deposited as margin, a 10% decrease in the price of the futures contract would, if the contract were then closed out, result in a total loss of the margin deposit before any deduction for brokerage commissions. Consequently, like other leveraged investments, a futures trade may result in losses in excess of the amount invested. Forward contracts involve similar leverage and also may require deposits of margin as collateral. Swaps and OTC derivative instruments are also highly leveraged transactions.

Markets May Be Illiquid. At times, it may not be possible for the Trading Advisor to obtain execution of a buy or sell order at the desired price or to liquidate an open position, either due to market conditions on exchanges or due to the operation of “daily price fluctuation limits” or “circuit breakers.” For example, most U.S. commodity exchanges limit fluctuations in most futures contract prices during a single day by regulations referred to as “daily price fluctuation limits” or “daily limits.” During a single trading day, no trades may be executed at prices beyond the daily limit. Futures contract prices occasionally have moved to the daily limit for several consecutive days with little or no trading.

Even when futures prices have not moved to the daily limit, the Trading Advisor might not be able to obtain execution of trades at favorable prices if little trading in the contracts which the Trading Advisor wishes to trade is taking place. Also, an exchange or governmental authority may suspend or restrict trading on an exchange (or in particular futures traded on an exchange) or order the immediate settlement of a particular instrument.

41


Options trading may be restricted in the event that trading in the underlying instrument becomes restricted. Options trading also may be illiquid at times regardless of the condition of the market in the underlying instrument. In either event, it will be difficult for the Trading Advisor to realize gains or limit losses on option positions by offsetting them or to change positions in the market.

45


Trading in OTC derivative instruments is conducted with individual counterparties rather than on organized exchanges. There have been periods during which forward and swap contract dealers have refused to quote prices for forward and swap contracts or have quoted prices with an unusually wide spread between the bid and asked price.

Speculative Position Limits May Restrict Futures Trading. Speculative position limits prescribe the maximum net long or short futures contract and options positions which any person or group may hold or control in particular futures contracts. All futures contracts and options on futures contracts traded on commodity exchanges located in the United States, with the exception of contracts on certain major non-U.S. currencies, are subject to speculative position limits established either by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”) or the relevant exchange.

All trading accounts owned or managed by the Trading Advisor and its principals will be combined for the purposes of speculative position limits. Such limits could adversely affect the profitability of the Trading Company and, consequently, of the Partnership. For example, the Trading Advisor could be required to liquidate futures positions at an unfavorable time in order to comply with such limits. However, the Trading Advisor does not believe that existing speculative position limits will materially adversely affect its ability to manage the Trading Company’s account.

Cash Flow. Futures contract gains and losses are marked-to-market daily for purposes of determining margin requirements. Option positions generally are not, although short option positions will require additional margin if the market moves against the position. Due to these differences in margin treatment between futures and options, there may be periods in which positions on both sides must be closed down prematurely due to short term cash flow needs. If this were to occur during an adverse move in a spread or straddle relationship, a substantial loss could occur.

Decisions Based on Trends and Technical Analysis. The trading decisions of the Trading Advisor will be based in part on trading strategies which utilize mathematical analyses of technical factors relating to past market performance. The buy and sell signals generated by a technical, trend-following trading strategy are based upon a study of actual daily, weekly and monthly price fluctuations, volume variations and changes in open interest in the markets. The profitability of any technical, trend-following trading strategy depends upon the occurrence in the future of significant, sustained price moves in some of the markets traded. The Trading Company and, consequently, the Partnership may incur substantial trading losses:

 

during periods when markets are dominated by fundamental factors that are not reflected in the technical data analyzed by the program;

 

during prolonged periods without sustained moves in one or more of the markets traded; or

 

  

during “whip-saw” markets, in which potential price trends start to develop but reverse before actual trends are realized.

In the past there have been prolonged periods without sustained price moves in various markets. Presumably, such periods will recur. A series of volatile reverses in price trends may generate repeated entry and exit signals in trend-following systems, resulting in unprofitable transactions and increased brokerage commission expenses. Technical, trend-following trading systems are used by many other traders. At times, the use of such systems may:

 

result in traders attempting to initiate or liquidate substantial positions in a market at or about the same time;

 

alter historical trading patterns;

 

obscure developing price trends; or

 

affect the execution of trades.

42


Model and Data Risk. The Trading Advisor relies heavily on proprietary mathematical quantitative models (each a “Model” and collectively, “Models”) and data developed both by the Trading Advisor and those supplied by third parties (collectively, “Data”) rather than granting trade-by-trade discretion to the Trading Advisor’s investment professionals. In combination, Models and Data are used to construct investment decisions, to value both current

46


and potential investments (including, without limitation, for trading purposes, and for the purposes of determining the Net Asset Value of the Partnership), to provide risk management insights and to assist in hedging the Partnership’s positions and investments. Models and Data are known to have errors, omissions, imperfections and malfunctions (collectively, “System Events”).

The Trading Advisor seeks to reduce the incidence and impact of System Events, to the extent feasible, through a combination of internal testing, simulation, real-time monitoring and the use of independent safeguards in the overall portfolio management process, often in the software code itself. Despite such testing, monitoring and independent safeguards, System Events will result in, among other things, the execution of unanticipated trades, the failure to execute anticipated trades, delays in the execution of anticipated trades, the failure to properly allocate trades, the failure to properly gather and organize available data, the failure to take certain hedging or risk reducing actions and/or the taking of actions which increase certain risk(s)—all of which may have materially adverse effects on the Partnership. System Events in third-party provided Data is generally entirely outside of the control of the Trading Advisor.

The research and modeling processes engaged in by the Trading Advisor on behalf of its managed funds is extremely complex and involves the use of financial, economic, econometric and statistical theories, research and modeling; the results of this investment approach must then be translated into computer code. Although the Trading Advisor seeks to hire individuals skilled in each of these functions and to provide appropriate levels of oversight and employ other mitigating measures and processes, the complexity of the individual tasks, the difficulty of integrating such tasks, and the limited ability to perform “real world” testing of the end product, even with simulations and similar methodologies, raise the chances that Model code may contain one or more coding errors, thus potentially resulting in a System Event and further, one or more of such coding errors could adversely affect the Partnership’s investment performance.

The investment strategies of the Trading Advisor are highly reliant on the gathering, cleaning, culling and performing of analysis of large amounts of Data. Accordingly, Models rely heavily on appropriate Data inputs. However, it is impossible and impracticable to factor all relevant, available Data into forecasts, investment decisions and other parameters of the Models. The Trading Advisor will use its discretion to determine what Data to gather with respect to each investment strategy and what subset of that Data the Models take into account to produce forecasts which may have an impact on ultimate investment decisions. In addition, due to the automated nature of Data gathering, the volume and depth of Data available, the complexity and often manual nature of Data cleaning, and the fact that the substantial majority of Data comes from third-party sources, it is inevitable that not all desired and/or relevant Data will be available to, or processed by, the Trading Advisor at all times. Irrespective of the merit, value and/or strength of a particular Model, it will not perform as designed if incorrect Data is fed into it which may lead to a System Event potentially subjecting the Partnership to a loss. Further, even if Data is input correctly, “model prices” anticipated by the Data through the Models may differ substantially from market prices, especially for financial instruments with complex characteristics, such as derivatives, in which the Partnership may invest.

Where incorrect or incomplete Data is available, the Trading Advisor may, and often will, continue to generate forecasts and make investment decisions based on the Data available to it. Additionally, the Trading Advisor may determine that certain available Data, while potentially useful in generating forecasts and/or making investment decisions, is not cost effective to gather due to, among other factors, the technology costs or third-party vendor costs and, in such cases, the Trading Advisor will not utilize such Data. The Trading Advisor has full discretion to select the Data it utilizes. The Trading Advisor may elect to use or may refrain from using any specific Data or type of Data in generating forecasts or making trading decisions with respect to the Models. The Data utilized in generating forecasts or making trading decisions underlying the Models may not be (i) the most accurate data available or (ii) free of errors. The Data set

43


used in connection with the Models is limited. The foregoing risks associated with gathering, cleaning, culling and analysis of large amounts of Data are an inherent part of investing with a quantitative, process-driven, systematic adviser such as the Trading Advisor.

When Models and Data prove to be incorrect, misleading or incomplete, any decisions made in reliance thereon expose the Partnership to potential losses and such losses may be compounded over time. For example, by relying

47


on Models and Data, the Trading Advisor may be induced to buy certain investments at prices that are too high, to sell certain other investments at prices that are too low, or to miss favorable opportunities altogether. Similarly, any hedging based on faulty Models and Data may prove to be unsuccessful and when determining the Net Asset Value of the Partnership, any valuations of the Partnership’s investments that are based on valuation Models may prove to be incorrect. In addition, Models may incorrectly forecast future behavior, leading to potential losses on a cash flow and/or a mark-to-market basis. Furthermore, in unforeseen or certain low-probability scenarios (often involving a market event or disruption of some kind), Models may produce unexpected results which may or may not be System Events.

Errors in Models and Data are often extremely difficult to detect, and, in the case of Models, the difficulty of detecting System Events may be exacerbated by the lack of design documents or specifications. Regardless of how difficult their detection appears in retrospect, some System Events may go undetected for long periods of time and some may never be detected. Finally, the Trading Advisor will detect certain System Events that it chooses, in its sole discretion, not to address or fix, and the third party software will lead to System Events known to the Trading Advisor that it chooses, in its sole discretion, not to address or fix. The degradation or impact caused by these System Events can compound over time. The Trading Advisor generally will not perform a materiality analysis on the potential impact of a System Event. The Trading Advisor believes that the testing and monitoring performed on Models will enable the Trading Advisor to identify and address those System Events that a prudent person managing a quantitative, systematic and computerized investment program would identify and address by correcting the underlying issue(s) giving rise to the System Events, however there is no guarantee of the success of such processes. Investors should assume that System Events and their ensuing risks and impact are an inherent part of investing with a process-driven, systematic investment manager such as the Trading Advisor.

Accordingly, the Trading Advisor does not expect to disclose discovered System Events to its investors.

The Partnership will bear the risks associated with the reliance on Models and Data including bearing all losses related to System Events other than in relation to losses arising from the Trading Advisor’s willful misconduct, negligence or breach of fiduciary obligations.

Trade Systems and Execution of Orders. The Trading Advisor relies extensively on computer programs, systems, technology, Data and Models to implement its execution strategies and algorithms. The Trading Advisor’s investment strategies, trading strategies and algorithms depend on its ability to establish and maintain an overall market position in a combination of financial instruments selected by the Trading Advisor. There is a risk that the Trading Advisor’s proprietary algorithmic trading systems may not be able to adequately react to a market event without serious disruption. Further, trading strategies and algorithms may malfunction causing severe losses. While the Trading Advisor has employed tools to allow for human intervention to respond to significant system malfunctions, it cannot be guaranteed that losses will not occur in such circumstances as unforeseen market events and disruptions and execution system issues.

Orders may not be executed in a timely and efficient manner due to various circumstances, including, without limitation, trading volume surges or systems failures attributable to the Trading Advisor, the Trading Advisor’s counterparties, brokers, dealers, agents or other service providers. In such event, the Trading Advisor might only be able to acquire or dispose of some, but not all, of the components of such position, or if the overall position were to need adjustment, the Trading Advisor might not be able to make such adjustment. As a result, the Partnership would not be able to achieve the market position selected by the Trading Advisor, which may result in a loss.

44


Trade Error Risk. The complex execution modalities operated by the Trading Advisor and the speed and volume of trading invariably result in occasional trades being executed which, with the benefit of hindsight, were not required or intended by the execution strategy or occasional trades not being executed when they should have been. To the extent a trade error is caused by counterparty, such as a broker, the Trading Advisor generally, to the extent reasonable and practical, attempts to recover any loss associated with such trade error from such counterparty. To the extent a trade error is caused by the Trading Advisor, a formalized process is in place for the documentation and resolution of such trade errors. Given the volume, diversity and complexity of transactions executed by the Trading Advisor on behalf of the Partnership, investors should assume that trade errors will occur on occasion. If such trade errors result in gains to the Partnership, such gains will generally be retained by the Partnership. However, if a trade error result in losses, they will be borne by the Trading Advisor in accordance with its internal policies unless otherwise determined by the General Partner.

48


Trading in OTC Markets Will Expose the Partnership to Risks Not Applicable to Trading on Organized Exchanges. The Partnership, through the Trading Company, may engage in OTC derivative transactions, such as: currency forward contracts traded in the interbank market; options on currency forward contracts; and swap transactions.

In general, there is much less governmental regulation and supervision of transactions in the OTC markets than of transactions entered into on organized exchanges. Most of the protections afforded to participants on U.S. and certain non-U.S. exchanges, such as daily price fluctuation limits and the performance guarantee of an exchange clearinghouse, will not be available in connection with OTC transactions.

Consequently, the Partnership will be exposed to greater risk of loss through default than if it confined its trading to organized exchanges.

A portion of the Partnership’s assets may be traded in forward contracts. Such forward contracts are generally not traded on exchanges and are executed directly through forward contract dealers. However, certain forward currency exchange contracts are regulated as swaps by the CFTC and have begun being voluntarily traded on swap execution facilities. Some of these contracts may be required to be centrally cleared by a regulated U.S. clearinghouse, and may be required to be traded on a regulated exchange in the future. There is no limitation on the daily price moves of forward contracts, and a dealer is not required to continue to make markets in such contracts. There have been periods during which forward contract dealers have refused to quote prices for forward contracts or have quoted prices with an unusually wide spread between the bid and asked price. Arrangements to trade forward contracts may therefore experience liquidity problems. The Partnership therefore will be subject to the risk of credit failure or the inability of or refusal of a forward contract dealer to perform with respect to its forward contracts.

When trading currency forward contracts, the Trading Company may hedge the foreign currencies in order to limit the Trading Company’s exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates. However, there is no guarantee that such hedging will be successful.

Enhanced Regulation of the OTC Derivatives Markets. The European Market Infrastructure Regulation (“EMIR”) seeks comprehensively to regulate the OTC derivatives market in Europe including, in particular, imposing mandatory central clearing, trade reporting and, for non-centrally cleared trades, risk management obligations on counterparties. Similarly, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Reform Act”), enacted in July 2010, includes provisions that substantially increase the regulation of the OTC derivatives markets. The Reform Act requires that a substantial portion of OTC derivatives must be executed in regulated markets and be submitted for clearing to regulated clearinghouses, subject to margin requirements. OTC derivative dealers are also required to post margin to the clearinghouses through which they clear their customers’ trades instead of using such margin in their operations, as they are allowed to do for uncleared OTC trades. This will further increase the dealers’ costs, which costs may be passed through to other market participants in the form of higher fees and less favorable dealer marks. Although the Reform Act includes limited exemptions from the clearing and margin requirements for so-called “end-users”, the Partnership may not be able to rely on such exemptions. In addition, the OTC derivative dealers

45


with which the Partnership executes the majority of its OTC derivatives will not be able to rely on the end-user exemptions under the Reform Act and therefore such dealers will be subject to clearing and margin requirements notwithstanding whether the Partnership is subject to such requirements. Taken together, these regulatory developments have increased and will continue to increase the OTC derivative dealers’ costs, and these increased costs are generally passed through to other market participants in the form of higher upfront and mark-to-market margin, less favorable trade pricing, and the imposition of new or increased fees, including clearing account maintenance fees.

The CFTC also requires certain derivatives transactions that were previously executed on a bilateral basis in the OTC markets to be executed through a regulated futures or swap exchange or execution facility. Similarly, under EMIR, European regulators may require a substantial proportion of such derivatives transactions to be bought on exchange and/or centrally cleared. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) is also expected to

49


impose similar requirements on certain security-based derivatives in the near future, though it is not yet clear when these parallel SEC requirements will go into effect. Such requirements may make it more difficult and costly for investment funds, including the Partnership and/or the Trading Company, to enter into highly tailored or customized transactions. The overall impact of EMIR and the Reform Act on the Partnership is highly uncertain and it is unclear how the OTC derivatives markets will adapt to these new regulatory regimes.

Exchanges for Physicals/Swaps/Risk. While not a regular practice for the Trading Company, it may in rare instances engage in transactions known as exchanges for physicals (“EFP”), exchanges for swaps (“EFS”), or exchanges for risk/OTC derivatives (“EFR”). An EFP/EFS/EFR is a purchase or sale of a spot commodity/swap/derivative, as applicable, in conjunction with an offsetting sale or purchase of a corresponding futures contract involving the same or equivalent underlying commodity or instrument, without making an open and competitive trade for the futures contract on the exchange. EFPs, EFSs and EFRs are a permitted exception to the general requirement of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, that all futures contracts must be competitively executed on an exchange. They are permitted pursuant to the rules of the relevant exchanges, which vary from exchange to exchange. If the EFP, EFS or EFR does not comply with specific exchange requirements, particularly regarding possessing documentation evidencing possession of the underlying commodity or instrument, then the CFTC or the exchange may deem the transaction to be an illegal off-exchange futures contract. In addition, every EFP, EFS or EFR involves the transfer of an underlying commodity or entry into a swap or derivative on a bilateral basis, as applicable, with a counterparty in exchange for a related cleared futures contract. There is, therefore, counterparty credit risk if the counterparty or its clearing member on the futures leg fails to perform. Unlike other futures contracts that are deemed cleared by the clearinghouse upon trade matching or at the end of the business day, futures contracts arising out of EFPs, EFSs or EFRs may, under various clearinghouse rules, not be deemed accepted by the clearinghouse until the next business day.

Options on Futures Contracts May Be More Volatile Than Futures Contracts. The Trading Advisor may trade options on futures contracts. Options are speculative in nature and are highly leveraged. The purchaser of an option risks losing the entire purchase price of the option. The seller (writer) of an option risks losing the difference between the premium received for the option and the price of the underlying futures contract that the writer must purchase upon exercise of the option. Additionally, the seller and writer of the options lose any commissions and fees associated with such transactions. This could subject the writer to unlimited risk in the event of an increase in the price of the contract to be purchased or delivered. Successful trading of options on futures contracts requires a trader to accurately determine near-term market volatility because it often has an immediate impact on the price of outstanding options. Accurate determination of near-term volatility is more important to successful options trading than it is to long-term futures contract trading strategies because such volatility generally does not have as significant an effect on the prices of futures contracts.

Trading on Non-U.S. Exchanges and Markets Will Expose the Partnership to Risks Not Applicable to Trading on U.S. Exchanges and Markets. The Partnership, through the Trading Company, may engage in trading on non-U.S. exchanges and markets. The Partnership will be subject to the risk of

46


fluctuations in the currency exchange rate between the local currency and the U.S. dollar and to the possibility of exchange controls. Trading on such exchanges and markets generally involves other risks not applicable to trading on U.S. exchanges and markets.

For example, such exchanges and markets:

 

may not provide the same assurances of the integrity (financial and otherwise) of the marketplace and its participants as do U.S. exchanges and markets;

 

may exercise less regulatory oversight and supervision over transactions and participants in transactions;

 

may not afford all participants an equal opportunity to execute trades;

 

may be subject to a variety of political influences and the possibility of direct governmental intervention;

 

may have different clearance and settlement procedures for transactions than U.S. exchanges and markets. There have been times when settlement procedures have been unable to keep pace with the volume of transactions on certain exchanges and markets, making it difficult to conduct trades; and

 

may be “principals’ markets” in which performance is the responsibility only of the member with whom the trader has dealt (the counterparty) rather than the responsibility of an exchange or clearing association. Each transaction on such an exchange or market may subject the Partnership to the risk of the counterparty’s credit failure or inability or refusal to perform its obligations.

50


Institutional Risks. Institutions, such as the banks and brokers, will have custody of the assets of the Partnership. These firms may encounter financial difficulties that impair the operating capabilities or the capital position of the Partnership, the Trading Company or the General Partner.

Counterparty Risk. The Partnership will be subject to the risk of the inability of counterparties to perform with respect to transactions, particularly uncleared swap and currency forward transactions, whether due to insolvency, bankruptcy or other causes, which could subject the Partnership to substantial losses. In an effort to mitigate such risks, the General Partner and Trading Advisor will attempt to limit transactions to counterparties, which are established, well-capitalized and creditworthy.

Affiliated Parties — Conflicts of Interest. Under the terms of the Partnership’s Limited Partnership Agreement, the General Partner has the authority to engage trading advisors to make trading decisions for the Partnership. Since the Trading Advisor is an affiliate of the General Partner, the General Partner has a conflict of interest with respect to its responsibilities to manage the Partnership for the benefit of the Limited Partners, and to prevent violations of the Partnership’s trading policies and to monitor for excessive trading by the Trading Advisor. In addition, the General Partner has a conflict of interest with respect to its responsibility to review the trading performance of the Partnership and a disincentive to terminate the advisory relationship between the Trading Advisor and the Partnership. There have been no arm’s-length negotiations with respect to the management and incentive fees that the Trading Advisor will charge the Trading Company or with respect to the other terms of the advisory agreement entered into with the Trading Advisor.

MiFID II. Each of the European Union’s re-cast Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (2014/65/EU) (the “MiFID II Directive”), the delegated and implementing European Union (“EU”) regulations made thereunder, the laws and regulations introduced by Member States of the EU to implement the MiFID II Directive and the EU’s Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation (600/2014) (“MiFIR” and, together with the MiFID II Directive, “MiFID II”) impose new regulatory obligations on the Trading Advisor. These regulatory obligations may impact on, and constrain the implementation of, the investment strategy of the Partnership and lead to increased compliance obligations upon and accrued expenses for the Trading Advisor and/or the Partnership.

Epidemics and Pandemics May Lead to Severe Market Disruptions and May Impair the Operational Capabilities of the Trading Advisor, the General Partner and the Partnership’s Service Providers. Since the mid-1990s, the world has seen a number of outbreaks of new viral illnesses of varying severity, including avian flus, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), Middle East Respiratory Syndrome

47


(MERS), the H1N1 Flu (Swine Flu), and COVID-19 caused by the novel Coronavirus known as SARS-CoV-2.SARS–CoV-2. The responses to these outbreaks have varied as has their impact on human health, local economies and the global economy, and it is impossible at the outset of any such outbreak to estimate accurately what the ultimate impact of any such outbreak will be. Protective measures taken by governments and the private sector, including the Trading Advisor and the General Partner, to mitigate the spread of any such illness, including travel restrictions and outright bans, mandatory business closures, quarantines, and work-from-home arrangements, may lead to, or may be expected to lead to, wide spread economic damage, resulting in severe disruptions in the markets in which the Partnership trades and, potentially, adversely affecting the Partnership’s profit potential; and the spread of any such illness within the offices of the Trading Advisor, the General Partner, the Partnership’s service providers, and/or the exchanges and other components of market infrastructure could severely impair the operational capabilities of the Trading Advisor, the General Partner, the Partnership’s service providers or various markets themselves resulting in harm to the Partnership’s business and its operating results.
