 Exhibit 10.1 

MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT 

AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) made as of the 1st day of February 2018, by and among CERES MANAGED FUTURES LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (“CMF”), CERES TACTICAL SYSTEMATIC L.P., a New York limited partnership (the “Partnership”) and AE CAPITAL PTY LIMITED, a Victoria, Australia limited proprietary company (“AE Capital” or the
“Advisor”). 
 W I T N E S S E T H : 

WHEREAS, CMF is the general partner of the Partnership, a limited partnership organized for the purpose of speculative trading of commodity
interests, including futures contracts, options, forward contracts, swaps and other derivative instruments with the objective of achieving substantial capital appreciation; and 

WHEREAS, such trading is to be conducted directly or through investment in CMF AE Capital Master Fund LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (the “Master Fund”) of which CMF is the trading manager and AE Capital is the advisor; and 
 WHEREAS, the Amended and
Restated Limited Partnership Agreement dated as of November 21, 2017 (collectively, the “Partnership Agreement”), permits CMF to delegate to one or more commodity trading advisors CMF’s authority to make trading decisions for the
Partnership; and 
 WHEREAS, the Advisor is registered as a commodity trading advisor with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission
(“CFTC”), is a member of National Futures Association (“NFA”) and is registered with and regulated by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission; and 

WHEREAS, CMF is registered as a commodity trading advisor and a commodity pool operator with the CFTC and is a member of NFA; and 

WHEREAS, CMF, the Partnership and the Advisor wish to enter into this Agreement in order to set forth the terms and conditions upon which the
Advisor will render and implement advisory services in connection with the conduct by the Partnership of its commodity interest trading activities during the term of this Agreement. 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows: 

1. DUTIES OF THE ADVISOR. (a) For the period and on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Advisor shall have sole
authority and responsibility, as one of the Partnership’s agents and attorneys-in-fact, for directing the investment and reinvestment of the assets and funds of the
Partnership, whether directly or indirectly through the Master Fund, allocated to it from time to time by CMF in commodity interests, including commodity futures contracts, options on futures contracts, spot and forward contracts. The Advisor may
also engage in swap transactions and other derivative transactions on behalf of the Partnership with the prior written approval of CMF. All such trading on behalf of the Partnership shall be in 







 
accordance with the trading strategies set forth in the Partnership’s current Private Placement Offering Memorandum and Disclosure Document, as supplemented (the “Memorandum”), and
subject to the trading policies of CMF expressly set forth in Appendix A hereto (the “CMF Trading Policies”). Such trading policies may be changed from time to time upon receipt by the Advisor of prior written notice of such change,
and pursuant to the trading strategy selected by CMF to be utilized by the Advisor in managing the Partnership’s assets allocated to it. CMF has initially selected the Advisor’s AE Systematic FX Fund Program (the “Program”), as
described in Appendix B attached hereto, to manage the Partnership’s assets allocated to it. Any open positions or other investments at the time of receipt of such notice of a change in trading policy shall not be deemed to violate the
changed policy and shall be closed or sold in the ordinary course of trading. The Advisor may not deviate from the trading policies set forth in the Memorandum without the prior written consent of the Partnership given by CMF. The Advisor makes no
representation or warranty that the trading to be directed by it for the Partnership will be profitable or will not result in losses. 
 (b)
CMF acknowledges receipt of the description of the Program, attached hereto as Appendix B. All trades made by the Advisor for the account of the Partnership, whether directly or indirectly through the Master Fund, shall be made through such
commodity broker or brokers as CMF shall direct, and the Advisor shall have no authority or responsibility for selecting or supervising any such broker in connection with the execution, clearance or confirmation of transactions for the Partnership
or for the negotiation of brokerage rates charged therefor. However, the Advisor, with the prior written permission (by original, fax copy or email copy) of CMF, may direct any and all trades in commodity futures and options to a futures commission
merchant or independent floor broker it chooses for execution with instructions to give-up the trades to the broker designated by CMF, provided that the futures commission merchant, independent floor broker
and any give-up or floor brokerage fees are approved in advance by CMF. The Advisor, with the prior written permission (by original, fax copy or email copy) of CMF, may enter into swaps and other derivative
transactions with any swap dealer it chooses for execution with instructions to give-up the trades to the broker designated by CMF provided that the swap dealer and any
give-up or other fees are approved in advance by CMF. All give-up or similar fees relating to the foregoing shall be paid by the Partnership after all parties have
executed the relevant give-up agreements (via EGUS or by original, fax copy or email copy). 
 (c)
The initial allocation of the Partnership’s assets to the Advisor shall be made to the Program, as described in Appendix B. In the event the Advisor wishes to use a trading system or methodology other than or in addition to the Program in
connection with its trading for the Partnership, either in whole or in part, it may not do so unless the Advisor gives CMF prior written notice of its intention to utilize such different trading system or methodology and CMF consents thereto in
writing. In addition, the Advisor will provide five days’ prior written notice to CMF of any change in the trading system or methodology to be utilized for the Partnership which the Advisor deems material. If the Advisor deems such change in
system or methodology or in markets traded to be material, the changed system or methodology or markets traded will not be utilized for the Partnership without the prior written consent of CMF. In addition, the


  
 2 








 
Advisor will notify CMF of any changes to the trading system or methodology that would cause the description of the trading strategy or methods described in Appendix B or the Memorandum, as
applicable, to be materially inaccurate. Further, the Advisor will provide the Partnership with a current list of all commodity interests to be traded for the Partnership’s account and the Advisor will not trade any additional commodity
interests for such account without providing notice thereof to CMF and receiving CMF’s written approval. The Advisor also agrees to provide CMF, on a monthly basis, with a written report of the assets under the Advisor’s management
together with all other matters deemed by the Advisor to be material changes to its business not previously reported to CMF. The Advisor further agrees that it will convert foreign currency balances (not required to margin positions denominated in a
foreign currency) to U.S. dollars no less frequently than monthly. U.S. dollar equivalents in individual foreign currencies of more than $100,000 will be converted to U.S. dollars within one business day after such funds are no longer needed to
margin foreign positions. 
 (d) The Advisor agrees to make all material disclosures to the Partnership regarding itself and its principals
as defined in Part 4 of the CFTC’s regulations (“principals”), its officers, directors, employees and shareholder(s), their trading performance and general trading methods, its customer accounts (but not the identities of or
identifying information with respect to its customers) and otherwise as are required in the reasonable judgment of CMF to be made in any filings required by federal or state law or NFA rule or order. Notwithstanding Sections 1(d) and 4(d) of this
Agreement, the Advisor is not required to disclose the actual trading results of proprietary accounts of the Advisor or its principals unless CMF reasonably determines that such disclosure is required in order to fulfill CMF’s fiduciary
obligations to the Partnership or the reporting, filing or other obligations imposed on it by federal or state law or NFA rule or order. The Partnership and CMF acknowledge that the trading advice to be provided by the Advisor is a property right
belonging to the Advisor and that they will keep all such advice confidential. 
 (e) The Advisor understands and agrees that CMF may
designate other trading advisors for the Partnership and apportion or reapportion to such other trading advisors the management of an amount of Net Assets of the Partnership (as defined in Section 3(b) hereof) as it shall determine in its
absolute discretion. The designation of other trading advisors and the apportionment or reapportionment of Net Assets of the Partnership to any such trading advisors pursuant to this Section 1 shall neither terminate this Agreement nor modify
in any regard the respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder. 
 (f) CMF may, from time to time, in its absolute discretion,
select additional trading advisors and reapportion funds among the trading advisors for the Partnership as it deems appropriate. CMF shall use its best efforts to make reapportionments, if any, as of the first day of a calendar month. The Advisor
agrees that it may be called upon at any time promptly to liquidate positions in CMF’s sole discretion so that CMF may reallocate the Partnership’s assets, meet margin calls on the Partnership’s account, fund redemptions, or for any
other reason, except that CMF will not require the liquidation of specific positions by the Advisor. CMF will use its best efforts to give two business days’ prior notice to the Advisor of any reallocations or liquidations. 

  
 3 








 (g) The Advisor shall assume financial responsibility for any errors committed or caused by it in
transmitting orders for the purchase or sale of commodity interests for the Partnership’s account, to the extent such errors result from its negligence, bad faith, recklessness or intentional misconduct, including payment to the brokers of the
floor brokerage commissions, exchange, NFA fees, and other transaction charges and give-up charges incurred by the brokers on such trades. The Advisor’s errors shall include, but not be limited to,
inputting improper trading signals or communicating incorrect orders to the commodity brokers. In the event of an error by a broker or third party, the Advisor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue an appropriate financial remedy
on CMF’s and the Partnership’s behalf with the relevant broker or third party. The Advisor shall have an affirmative obligation to promptly notify CMF in accordance with the provisions of Section 8(a)(iii) of any errors with respect
to the account, and the Advisor shall use its best efforts to identify and promptly notify CMF of any order or trade which the Advisor reasonably believes was not executed in accordance with its instructions to any broker utilized to execute orders
for the Partnership. 
 2. INDEPENDENCE OF THE ADVISOR. For all purposes herein, the Advisor shall be deemed to be an independent
contractor and, unless otherwise expressly provided or authorized, shall have no authority to act for or represent the Partnership in any way and shall not be deemed an agent, promoter or sponsor of the Partnership, CMF, or any other trading
advisor. The Advisor shall not be responsible to the Partnership, CMF, any trading advisor or any limited partners for any acts or omissions of any other trading advisor to the Partnership. 

3. COMPENSATION. (a) In consideration of and as compensation for all of the services to be rendered by the Advisor to the
Partnership under this Agreement, the Partnership shall pay the Advisor (i) an incentive fee payable quarterly equal to 20% of New Trading Profits (as such term is defined below) earned by the Advisor for the Partnership (the “Incentive
Fee”) and (ii) a monthly fee for professional management services equal to 1.5% per year of the month-end Net Assets of the Partnership allocated to the Advisor (computed monthly by multiplying the
Partnership’s Net Assets allocated to the Advisor as of the last business day of each month by 1.5% and dividing the result thereof by 12) (the “Management Fee”). 

(b) “Net Assets of the Partnership” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 7(d)(2) of the Partnership Agreement and,
unless the Advisor consents in writing, without regard to further amendments thereto, provided that in determining the Net Assets of the Partnership on any date, no adjustment shall be made to reflect any distributions, redemptions, administrative
fees or incentive fees accrued or payable as of the date of such determination. 
 (c) “New Trading Profits” shall mean the
excess, if any, of Net Assets of the Partnership managed by the Advisor at the end of the fiscal period over Net Assets of the Partnership managed by the Advisor at the end of the highest previous fiscal period or Net Assets of the Partnership
allocated to the Advisor at the date trading commences by the Advisor for the 

  
 4 








 
Partnership, whichever is higher, and as further adjusted to eliminate the effect on Net Assets of the Partnership resulting from new capital contributions, redemptions, reallocations or capital
distributions, if any, made during the fiscal period decreased by interest or other income, not directly related to trading activity, earned on the Partnership’s assets during the fiscal period, whether the assets are held separately or in
margin accounts. Ongoing expenses shall be attributed to the Advisor based on the Advisor’s proportionate share of Net Assets of the Partnership. Ongoing expenses shall not include expenses of litigation not involving the activities of the
Advisor on behalf of the Partnership. No Incentive Fee shall be paid to the Advisor until the end of the first full calendar quarter of the Advisor’s trading for the Partnership, which fee shall be based on New Trading Profits (if any) earned
from the commencement of trading by the Advisor on behalf of the Partnership through the end of the first full calendar quarter of such trading. Interest income earned, if any, will not be taken into account in computing New Trading Profits earned
by the Advisor. If Net Assets of the Partnership allocated to the Advisor are reduced due to redemptions, distributions or reallocations (net of additions), there shall be a corresponding proportional reduction in the related loss carryforward
amount that must be recouped before the Advisor is eligible to receive another Incentive Fee. 
 (d) Quarterly Incentive Fees and monthly
Management Fees shall be paid within twenty (20) business days following the end of the period for which such fee is payable. In the event of the termination of this Agreement as of any date which shall not be the end of a calendar quarter or a
calendar month, as the case may be, the quarterly Incentive Fee shall be computed as if the effective date of termination were the last day of the then current quarter and the monthly Management Fee shall be prorated to the effective date of
termination. If, during any month, the Partnership does not conduct business operations or the Advisor is unable to provide the services contemplated herein for more than two successive business days, the monthly Management Fee shall be prorated by
the ratio which the number of business days during which CMF conducted the Partnership’s business operations or utilized the Advisor’s services bears in the month to the total number of business days in such month. 

(e) The provisions of this Section 3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 

4. RIGHT TO ENGAGE IN OTHER ACTIVITIES. (a) The services provided by the Advisor hereunder are not to be deemed exclusive. CMF on its
own behalf and on behalf of the Partnership acknowledges that, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Advisor and its officers, directors, employees and shareholder(s) may render advisory, consulting and management services to other clients and
accounts. The Advisor and its officers, directors, employees and shareholder(s) shall be free to trade for their own accounts and to advise other investors and manage other commodity accounts during the term of this Agreement and to use the same
information, computer programs and trading strategies, programs or formulas which they obtain, produce or utilize in the performance of services to CMF for the Partnership. However, the Advisor represents, warrants and agrees that it believes the
rendering of such consulting, advisory and management services to other accounts and entities will not require any material change in the Advisor’s basic trading strategies for the Partnership and will not affect the capacity of the Advisor to
continue to render services to CMF for the Partnership of the quality and nature contemplated by this Agreement. 

  
 5 








 (b) If, at any time during the term of this Agreement, the Advisor is required to aggregate the
Partnership’s commodity positions with the positions of any other person for purposes of applying CFTC- or exchange-imposed speculative position limits, the Advisor
agrees that it will promptly notify CMF in writing if the Partnership’s positions are included in an aggregate amount which exceeds the applicable speculative position limit. The Advisor agrees that, if its trading recommendations are altered
because of the application of any speculative position limits, it will not modify the trading instructions with respect to the Partnership’s account in such manner as to affect the Partnership substantially disproportionately as compared with
the Advisor’s other accounts. The Advisor further represents, warrants and agrees that under no circumstances will it knowingly or deliberately use trading programs, strategies or methods for the Partnership that are inferior to strategies or
methods employed for any other client or account and that it will not knowingly or deliberately favor any client or account managed by it over any other client or account in any manner, it being acknowledged, however, that different trading
programs, strategies or methods may be utilized for differing sizes of accounts, accounts with different trading policies or risk parameters, accounts experiencing differing inflows or outflows of equity, accounts that commence trading at different
times, accounts that have different portfolios or different fiscal years, accounts utilizing different executing brokers and accounts with other differences, and that such differences may cause divergent trading results. 

(c) It is acknowledged that the Advisor and/or its officers, employees, directors and shareholder(s) presently act, and may continue to act,
as advisor for other accounts managed by them, and may continue to receive compensation with respect to services for such accounts in amounts which may be more or less than the amounts received from the Partnership. 

(d) The Advisor agrees that it shall make such information available to CMF respecting the performance of the Partnership’s account as
compared to the performance of other accounts managed by the Advisor or its principals, if any, as shall be reasonably requested by CMF. The Advisor presently believes and represents that existing speculative position limits will not materially
adversely affect its ability to manage the Partnership’s account given the potential size of the Partnership’s account and the Advisor’s and its principals’ current accounts and all proposed accounts for which they have
contracted to act as trading advisor. 
 5. TERM. (a) This Agreement shall continue in effect until December 31, 2018 (the
“Initial Termination Date”). If this Agreement is not terminated on the Initial Termination Date, as provided for herein, then, this Agreement shall automatically renew for an additional one-year
period and shall continue to renew for additional one-year periods until this Agreement is otherwise terminated, as provided for herein. At any time during the term of this Agreement, CMF may terminate this
Agreement upon 5 days’ notice to Advisor. At any time during the term of this Agreement, CMF may elect to immediately terminate this Agreement if (i) the Net Asset 

  
 6 








 
Value per Unit shall decline as of the close of business on any day to $400 or less; (ii) the Net Assets of the Partnership allocated to the Advisor through the Master Fund (adjusted for
redemptions, distributions, withdrawals or reallocations, if any) decline by 20% or more as of the end of a trading day from such Net Assets’ previous highest value of the Partnership; (iii) limited partners owning at least 50% of each
Class of Units of Limited Partnership Interest (as set forth in Section 7 of the Partnership Agreement) then outstanding shall vote to require CMF to terminate this Agreement; (iv) the Advisor fails to comply with the terms of this
Agreement; (v) CMF, in good faith, reasonably determines that the performance of the Advisor has been such that CMF’s fiduciary duties to the Partnership require CMF to terminate this Agreement; (vi) CMF reasonably believes that the
application of speculative position limits will substantially affect the performance of the Partnership; (vii) the Advisor fails to conform to the trading policies set forth in the Partnership Agreement or the Memorandum as they may be changed
from time to time; (viii) the Advisor merges, consolidates with another entity, sells a substantial portion of its assets, or becomes bankrupt or insolvent; (ix) Lyle Pakula dies, becomes incapacitated, leaves the employ of the Advisor,
ceases to control the Advisor or is otherwise not managing the trading programs or systems of the Advisor; (x) the Advisor’s registration as a commodity trading advisor with the CFTC or its membership in NFA or any other regulatory
authority, is terminated or suspended; or (xi) CMF reasonably believes that the Advisor has or may contribute to any material operational, business or reputational risk to CMF or CMF’s affiliates. This Agreement will immediately terminate
upon dissolution of the Partnership or upon cessation of trading by the Partnership prior to dissolution. 
 (b) The Advisor may terminate
this Agreement by giving not less than 30 days’ written notice to CMF (i) in the event that the trading policies of the Partnership as set forth in the Memorandum are changed in such manner that the Advisor reasonably believes will
adversely affect the performance of its trading strategies; (ii) after the Initial Termination Date; or (iii) in the event that CMF or the Partnership fails to comply with the terms of this Agreement. The Advisor may immediately terminate
this Agreement if CMF’s registration as a commodity pool operator or its membership in NFA is terminated or suspended. 
 (c) Except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement, any termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 5 shall be without penalty or liability to any party, except for any fees due to the Advisor pursuant to Section 3 hereof. 

6. INDEMNIFICATION. (a)(i) In any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, or proceeding to which the Advisor was or is a party
or is threatened to be made a party arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the management of the Partnership’s assets by the Advisor or the offering and sale of units in the Partnership, CMF shall, subject to subsection (a)(iii)
of this Section 6, indemnify and hold harmless the Advisor against any loss, liability, damage, fine, penalty, obligation, cost, expense (including, without limitation, attorneys’ and accountants’ fees, collection fees, court costs
and other legal expenses), judgments and awards and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by it in 

  
 7 








 
connection with such action, suit, or proceeding if the Advisor acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Partnership, and
provided that its conduct did not constitute negligence, bad faith, recklessness, intentional misconduct, or a breach of its fiduciary obligations to the Partnership as a commodity trading advisor, unless and only to the extent that the court or
administrative forum in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, the Advisor is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for
such expenses which such court or administrative forum shall deem proper; and further provided that no indemnification shall be available from the Partnership if such indemnification is prohibited by Section 16 of the Partnership Agreement. The
termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order or settlement shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Advisor did not act in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the Partnership. 
 (ii) Without limiting subsection (i) above, to the extent that the Advisor has been successful on the merits or
otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsection (i) above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, CMF shall indemnify the Advisor against the expenses (including, without limitations,
attorneys’ and accountants’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by it in connection therewith. 
 (iii) Any indemnification
under subsection (i) above, unless ordered by a court or administrative forum, shall be made by CMF only as authorized in the specific case and only upon a determination by independent legal counsel in a written opinion that such
indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the Advisor has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsection (i) above. Such independent legal counsel shall be selected by CMF in a timely manner, subject to the
Advisor’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Advisor will be deemed to have approved CMF’s selection unless the Advisor notifies CMF in writing, received by CMF within five days of CMF’s telecopying to
the Advisor of the notice of CMF’s selection, that the Advisor does not approve the selection. 
 (iv) In the event the Advisor is made
a party to any claim, dispute or litigation or otherwise incurs any loss or expense as a result of, or in connection with, the Partnership’s or CMF’s activities or claimed activities unrelated to the Advisor, CMF shall indemnify, defend
and hold harmless the Advisor against any loss, liability, damage, fine, penalty, obligation, cost or expense (including, without limitation, attorneys’ and accountants’ fees), incurred in connection therewith. 

(v) As used in this Section 6(a), the term “Advisor” shall include the Advisor, its affiliates, principals, officers,
directors, employees and shareholder(s) and the term “CMF” shall include the Partnership. 
 (b)(i) The Advisor agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless CMF, the Partnership and their affiliates against any loss, liability, damage, fine, penalty, obligation, cost or expense (including, without limitation, attorneys’ and accountants’ fees, collection
fees, court 

  
 8 








 
costs and other legal expenses), judgments and awards and amounts paid in settlement reasonably incurred by them (A) as a result of the breach of any representations and warranties or
covenants made by the Advisor in this Agreement, or (B) as a result of any act or omission of the Advisor relating to the Partnership if (i) there has been a final judicial or regulatory determination, or a written opinion of an
arbitrator pursuant to Section 14 hereof, to the effect that such acts or omissions violated the terms of this Agreement in any material respect or involved negligence, bad faith, recklessness or intentional misconduct on the part of the
Advisor (except as otherwise provided in Section 1(g)), or (ii) there has been a settlement of any action or proceeding with the Advisor’s prior written consent. 

(ii) In the event CMF, the Partnership or any of their affiliates is made a party to any claim, dispute or litigation or otherwise incurs any
loss or expense as a result of, or in connection with, the activities or claimed activities of the Advisor or its principals, officers, directors employees, and shareholder(s) unrelated to CMF’s or the Partnership’s business, the Advisor
shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless CMF, the Partnership or any of their affiliates against any loss, liability, damage, fine, penalty, obligation cost or expense (including, without limitation, attorneys’ and accountants’ fees,
collection fees, court costs and other legal expenses) judgments, awards and amounts including amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection therewith. 

(c) In the event that a person entitled to indemnification under this Section 6 is made a party to an action, suit or proceeding alleging
both matters for which indemnification can be made hereunder and matters for which indemnification may not be made hereunder, such person shall be indemnified only for that portion of the loss, liability, damage, cost or expense incurred in such
action, suit or proceeding which relates to the matters for which indemnification can be made. 
 (d) None of the indemnifications contained
in this Section 6 shall be applicable with respect to default judgments, confessions of judgment or settlements entered into by the party claiming indemnification without the prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, of the party obligated to indemnify such party. 
 (e) The provisions of this Section 6 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement.7. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS.(a) The Advisor represents and warrants that: (i) All information with respect to the Advisor and its principals and the trading performance of any of them that has been provided to CMF,

(iv) CMF will not, by acting as general partner to the Partnership and the Partnership will not, breach or cause to be breached any

8. COVENANTS OF THE ADVISOR, CMF AND THE PARTNERSHIP. 

(a) The Advisor agrees as follows: 

(i) In connection with its activities on behalf of the Partnership, the Advisor will comply with all applicable laws, including rules and
regulations of the CFTC, NFA, swap execution facility and/or the commodity exchange on which any particular transaction is executed. 
 (ii)
The Advisor will promptly notify CMF of the commencement of any investigation, suit, action or proceeding involving the Advisor or any of its affiliates, officers, directors, employees and shareholder(s), agents or representatives, regardless of
whether such investigation, suit, action or proceeding also involves CMF. The Advisor will provide CMF with copies of any correspondence (including, but not limited to, any notice or correspondence regarding the violation, or potential violation, of
position limits) from or to the CFTC, NFA or any commodity exchange in connection with an investigation or audit of the Advisor’s business activities. 

(iii) In the placement of orders for the Partnership’s account and for the accounts of any other client, the Advisor will utilize a pre-determined, systematic, fair and reasonable order entry system, which shall, on an overall basis, be no less favorable to the Partnership than to any other account managed by the Advisor. The Advisor
acknowledges its obligation to review and reconcile the Partnership’s positions, prices and equity in the account managed by the Advisor daily and within two business days to notify, in writing, the broker and CMF and the Partnership’s
brokers of (A) any error committed by the Advisor or its principals or employees; (B) any trade which the Advisor believes was not executed in accordance with its instructions; 

  
 11 








 
and (C) any discrepancy with a value of $10,000 or more (due to differences in the positions, prices or equity in the account) between its records and the information reported on the
account’s daily and monthly broker statements. 
 (iv) The Advisor will maintain a net worth of not less than USD 100,000 during the
term of this Agreement. 
 (v) For so long as the Advisor or any of its principals or affiliates acts as advisor to the Partnership or any
affiliate of the Partnership, any Management Fee and any Incentive Fee to be charged to such accounts shall be the lowest such fee charged to any account managed or advised by the Advisor other than proprietary accounts of the Advisor, its
principals and affiliates. 
 (vi) The Advisor will use its best efforts to close out all futures positions prior to any applicable delivery
period, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid causing the Partnership to take delivery of any commodity. 
 (vi) 

(b) CMF agrees for itself and the Partnership that: 

(i) CMF and the Partnership will comply with all applicable laws, including rules and regulations of the CFTC, NFA, swap execution facility
and/or the commodity exchange on which any particular transaction is executed. 
 (ii) CMF will promptly notify the Advisor of the

 APPENDIX B 

Pursuant to Section 1(a) of the Agreement, set forth below is the description of the Advisor’s AE Systematic FX Fund Program. 

The Advisor’s philosophy is that markets are driven by fundamental themes and that those fundamental themes inherently change over time. The Advisor has
developed a proprietary systematic strategy that dynamically adapts to the fundamental themes quantified to be driving markets. New themes are identified by the Advisor primarily through fundamental research. Once a new theme is scientifically
tested and deemed eligible it is incorporated into the theme adapting system framework. Capital is only allocated to a theme if the theme adapting system determines that the theme carries statistically significant information and improves the
overall portfolio. Risk is minimized through a proprietary portfolio construction technique that diversifies the portfolio in terms of the underlying currency exposures, trade time horizons and fundamental views. 

Futures interests to be traded—Limited to spot transactions in the following currencies unless written approval is otherwise requested by the Advisor and
granted by CMF, pursuant to Section 1(c) of the Agreement: 
 USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, CAD, NZD, AUD
