Dear Investor, Political events continue to be the main factor driving market price action, with the European Debt Crisis taking center stage. Fixed Income trading yielded strong gains during the month as the Fund’s long positions globally helped close a strong year for the sector. Fixed Income was one of the few sectors to exhibit more pronounced price trend behavior throughout the year. Unfortunately for trend-following strategies in general, much of 2011 was riddled with choppy, very volatile price action in risk assets as political tape bombs were dominant in their impact on investor sentiment. Currency trading was also a significant contributor to gains on the month as the U.S. Dollar rallied against most of the majors, particularly against the Euro. That said, some significant reversals throughout the year left the Fund in negative territory on the year in foreign exchange. Price action in global equity markets was mixed and finished slightly negative on the month for the Fund and negative on the year. Mixed news out of Europe, generally better than expected U.S. economic data including strong holiday sales, and China’s pro-growth policy were all contributing factors to mixed results. Commodity prices experienced their first annual drop as a sector since 2008 and individual sub-sectors remained volatile, specifically precious metals (Gold and Silver) losing 10-15% respectively. While commodity trading has been difficult for the Fund on the year, losses on the month were marginal as broad diversification in positioning and underlying risk exposure dampened volatility. Wishing you health, happiness and prosperity in the New Year. Please do not hesitate to call us with questions. Sincerely, Stephen C. Roussin Chief Executive OfficerCampbell & Company, Inc.
