3.  FAIR VALUE OF INVESTMENTS

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued the AccountingStandards Codification (“ASC”) which provides authoritative guidance on fairvalue measurement. This guidance defines fair value, establishes a frameworkfor measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

Fairvalue of an investment is the amount that would be received to sell theinvestment in an orderly transaction between market participants at themeasurement date (i.e. the exit price). Allinvestments (including derivative financial instruments and derivativecommodity instruments) are held for trading purposes.  The investments are recorded on trade dateand open contracts are recorded at fair value (described below) at themeasurement date. Investments denominated in foreign currencies are translatedinto U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the measurementdate.  Gains or losses are realized whencontracts are liquidated.  Unrealizedgains or losses on open contracts are included in Equity in a commodity tradingaccount.  Any change in net unrealizedgain or loss from the preceding period is reported in the Statements ofOperations.

 

The fair value measurement guidance established a hierarchal disclosureframework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observabilityused in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability isimpacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment and thecharacteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily availableactive quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from activelyquoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observabilityand a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

 

Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified anddisclosed in one of the following categories:

 

Level I — Quoted prices are available in active markets for identicalinvestments as of the reporting date. The type of investments included in LevelI are publicly traded investments. As required by the fair market valuemeasurement guidance, the Fund does not adjust the quoted price for theseinvestments even in situations where the Fund holds a large position and a salecould reasonably impact the quoted price.

 

Level II — Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in activemarkets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reportingdate, and fair value is determined through the use of generally accepted andunderstood models or other valuation methodologies. Investments which aregenerally included in this category are investments valued using market data.

 

Level III — Pricing inputs are unobservable and include situationswhere there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. Fair valuefor these investments is determined using valuation methodologies that considera range of factors, including but not limited to the nature of the investment,local market conditions, trading values on public exchanges for comparablesecurities, current and projected operating performance and financingtransactions subsequent to the acquisition of the investment. The inputs intothe determination of fair value require significant management judgment. Due tothe inherent uncertainty of these estimates, these values may differ materiallyfrom the values that would have been used had a ready market for theseinvestments existed.

 

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall intodifferent levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’slevel within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of inputthat is significant to the Fair Value Measurement. MLAI’s assessment of the

significance of a particular input to the Fair Value Measurement in itsentirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment.

 

Followingis a description of the valuation methodologies used for investments, as wellas the general classification of such investments pursuant to the valuationhierarchy.

 

Exchangetraded investments are fair valued by the Fund by using the reported closingprice on the primary exchange where it trades such investments.  These closing prices are observed through theclearing broker and third party pricing services. For non-exchange tradedinvestments, quoted values and other data provided by nationally recognizedindependent pricing sources are used by the Fund as inputs into its process fordetermining fair values.

 

Theindependent pricing sources obtain market quotations and actual transactionprices for securities that have quoted prices in active markets. Each sourcehas its own proprietary method for determining the fair value of securitiesthat are not actively traded. In general, these methods involve the use of “matrixpricing” in which the independent pricing source uses observable market inputsincluding, but not limited to, investment yields, credit risks and spreads,benchmarking of like securities, broker-dealer quotes, reported trades andsector groupings to determine a reasonable fair market value.

 

TheFund has determined that Level I securities would include all of its futuresand options contracts where it believes that quoted prices are available in anactive market.

 

Wherethe Fund believes that quoted market prices are not available or that themarket is not active, fair values are estimated by using quoted prices ofsecurities with similar characteristics, pricing models or matrix pricing andthese are generally classified as Level II securities. The Fund determined thatLevel II securities would include its forward contracts.

The Fund is subject to the risk of insolvency of a counterparty, anexchange, a clearinghouse or MLPF&S. Fund assets could be lost or impounded during lengthy bankruptcyproceedings.  Were a substantial portionof the Fund’s capital tied up in a bankruptcy or other similar types ofproceedings, MLAI might suspend or limit trading, perhaps causing the Fund tomiss significant profit opportunities. There are increased risks in dealing with unregulated tradingcounterparties including the risk that assets may not benefit from theprotection afforded to “customer funds” deposited with regulated dealers andbrokers.

 

4.    MARKET AND CREDIT RISKS

 

Thenature of this Fund has certain risks, which cannot be presented on thefinancial statements.  The followingsummarizes some of those risks.

 

Market Risk

 

Derivativeinstruments involve varying degrees of market risk.  Changes in the level or volatility ofinterest rates, foreign currency exchange rates or the market values of thefinancial instruments or commodities underlying such derivative instrumentsfrequently result in changes in the Fund’s Net unrealized profit (loss) on suchderivative instruments as reflected in the Statements of FinancialCondition.  The Fund’s exposure to marketrisk is influenced by a number of factors, including the relationships amongthe derivative instruments held by the Fund as well as the volatility and liquidityof the markets in which the derivative instruments are traded. Investments inforeign markets may also entail legal and political risks.

 

MLAI has procedures in place intended to control market risk exposure,although there can be no assurance that they will, in fact, succeed in doingso.  These procedures focus primarily onmonitoring the trading of Transtrend, calculating the Net Asset Value of theFund as of the close of business on each day and reviewing outstandingpositions for over-concentrations.  WhileMLAI does not intervene in the markets to hedge or diversify the Fund’s marketexposure, MLAI may urge Transtrend to reallocate positions in an attempt toavoid over-concentrations.  However, suchinterventions are expected to be unusual. It is expected that MLAI’s basic risk control procedures will consist ofthe ongoing process of advisor monitoring, with the market risk controls beingapplied by Transtrend.

Credit Risk

 

 The risks associated withexchange-traded contracts are typically perceived to be less than thoseassociated with over-the-counter (non-exchange-traded) transactions, becauseexchanges typically provide clearinghouse arrangements in which the collectivecredit (in some cases limited in amount, in some cases not) of the members ofthe exchange is pledged to support the financial integrity of theexchange.  In over-the-countertransactions, on the other hand, traders must rely solely on the credit oftheir respective individual counterparties. Margins, which may be subject toloss in the event of a default, are generally required in exchange trading, andcounterparties may also require margin in the over-the-counter markets.

 

The credit risk associated with these instruments from counterpartynonperformance is the net unrealized profit on open contracts, if any, includedin the Statements of Financial Condition. The Fund attempts to mitigate thisrisk by dealing exclusively with Merrill Lynch entities as clearing brokers.

 

The Fund, in its normal course of business, enters into variouscontracts, with MLPF&S acting as its commodity broker.  Pursuant to the brokerage arrangement withMLPF&S (which includes a netting arrangement), to the extent that suchtrading results in receivables from and payables to MLPF&S, thesereceivables and payables are offset and reported as a net receivable or payableand included in Equity in commodity trading accounts in the Statements ofFinancial Condition.

 

Indemnifications

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund has entered, or may in thefuture enter into agreements that obligate the Fund to indemnify third parties,including affiliates of the Fund, for breach of certain representations andwarranties made by the Fund. No claims have actually been made with respect tosuch indemnities and any quantification would involve hypothetical claims thathave not been made. Based on the Fund’s experience, MLAI expected the risk ofloss to be remote and, therefore, no provision has been recorded.

 

5.    RECENTACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued an update to the fair valuemeasurements disclosure. Pursuant to this update, additional disclosures in thefinancial statements relating to transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 fairvalue measurements and separate disclosure of purchases, sales, issuances, andsettlements in Level 3 roll forward, will be required. In addition, this updateprovides clarifications on i) the level of aggregation of classes of assets andliabilities disclosed in the fair value measurement disclosures and ii)disclosures relating to the inputs and valuation techniques for Level 2 andLevel 3 fair value measurements. The new disclosures and clarifications ofexisting disclosures are effective for annual reporting periods beginning afterDecember 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales,issuances, and settlements in the Level 3 roll forward which are effective forfiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. This update furtherenhances the fair value disclosures and the Sponsor has determined that theadoption of this update on January 1, 2010, did not have a material impactto the Fund’s financial statements.

 

6.    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Management has evaluated the impact of subsequent events on the Fundand has determined that there were no subsequent events that requireadjustments to, or disclosure in, the financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition andResults of Operations

 

MONTH-END NET ASSET VALUEPER UNIT

 

MLAI believes that the Net Asset Value used to calculate subscriptionand redemption value and to report performance to investors throughout theperiod is a useful performance measure for the investors of the Fund.Therefore, the charts below referencing Net Asset Value and performancemeasurements are based on the Net Asset Value for financial reporting purposes.

 

The Fund calculates the Net Asset Value per unitof each class of units as of the close of business on the last business day ofeach calendar month and such other dates as MLAI may determine in itsdiscretion. The Fund’s “Net Asset Value” as of any calculation date willgenerally equal the value of the Fund’s account under the management of itstrading advisor as of such date, plus any other assets held by the Fund, minusaccrued brokerage commissions, sponsor’s, management and performance fees, andany operating costs and other liabilities of the Fund. MLAI is authorized tomake all Net Asset Value determinations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Fund does not engage in the sale of goodsor services.  The Fund’s assets are its(i) equity in its trading account, consisting of cash and cash equivalents and(restricted cash) and (ii) interest receivable. Because of the low margindeposits normally required in commodity futures trading relatively small pricemovements may result in substantial losses to the Fund.  While substantial losses could lead to amaterial decrease in liquidity, no such material losses occurred during thethird quarter of 2010 and there was no impact on the Fund’s liquidity.

 

The Fund’s capital consists of the capitalcontributions of the members as increased or decreased by gains or losses ontrading, expenses, interest income, redemptions of Redeemable Units anddistributions of profits, if any.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010,Fund capital increased 2.93% from $235,900,686 to $242,818,301.  This increase was attributable to the netgain from operations of $21,892,095, coupled with the redemption of 28,654,932Redeemable Units resulting in an outflow of $41,531,684.  The cash outflow was offset with cash inflowof $26,557,204 due to subscription of 20,081,486 units.  Future redemptions could impact the amount offunds available for investment in commodity contract positions in subsequentmonths.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Statement of Cash Flows

 

The Fund is not required to provide aStatement of Cash Flows.

 

Investments

 

All investments (including derivatives) areheld for trading purposes.  Investmentsare recorded on trade date and open contracts are recorded at fair value (asdescribed below) at the measurement date. Investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S.dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the measurement date.  Gains or losses are realized when contractsare liquidated.  Unrealized gains orlosses on open contracts are included as a component of equity in a commoditytrading account on the Statements of Financial Condition.  Realized gains or losses and any change innet unrealized gains or losses from the preceding period are reported in theStatements of Operations.

 

Cash Equivalents

 

The Fund considered all highly liquid investments, with a maturity ofthree months or less when acquired, to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalentswere recorded at amortized cost which approximated fair value (Level II seeNote 3).  Cash was held at a nationally recognized financial institution.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is defined as the price that wouldbe received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderlytransaction between market participants at the measurement date.  The Fund did not apply the deferral allowedfor nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured at fair value ona nonrecurring basis. For more information on our fair value, see Note 3, FairValue of Investments.

Futures Contracts

 

The Fund trades futures contracts.  A futures contract is a firm commitment tobuy or sell a specified quantity of investments, currency or a standardizedamount of a deliverable grade commodity, at a specified price on a specifiedfuture date, unless the contract is closed before the delivery date or if the deliveryquantity is something where physical delivery cannot occur (such as S&P 500Index), whereby such contract is settled in cash.  Payments (“variation margin”) may be made orreceived by the Fund each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations inthe value of the underlying contracts, and are recorded as unrealized gains orlosses by the Fund.  When the contract isclosed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the differencebetween the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value atthe time it was closed.  Becausetransactions in futures contracts require participants to make both initialmargin deposits of cash or other assets and variation margin deposits, throughthe futures broker, directly with the exchange on which the contracts aretraded, credit exposure is limited. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) onfutures contracts are included in the Statements of Operations.

 

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

 

Foreign currency contracts are thosecontracts where the Fund agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity offoreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed future date.  Foreign currency contracts are valued daily,and the Fund’s net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on thecontracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchangerates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at thereporting date, is included in the Statements of Financial Condition.  Realized gains (losses) and changes inunrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency contracts are recognized in theperiod in which the contract is closed or the changes occur, respectively andare included in the Statements of Operations.

 

Interest Rates and Income

 

The Fund currently earns interest based on theprevailing Fed Funds rate plus a spread for short cash positions and minus aspread for long cash positions. The current short term interest rates haveremained extremely low when compared with historical rates and thus hascontributed negligible amounts to overall Fund performance.

 

Income Taxes

 

No provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanyingfinancial statements as the Member is individually responsible for reportingincome or loss based on such Member’s share of the Fund’s income and expensesas reported for income tax purposes.

 

The Fund follows the ASC guidance onaccounting for uncertainty in income taxes. This guidance provides how uncertain tax positions should be recognized,measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements.  This guidance also requires the evaluation oftax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’sfinancial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not”to be sustained by the applicable tax authority.  Tax positions with respect to tax at the Fundlevel not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold would be recordedas a tax benefit or expense in the current year.  MLAI has analyzed the Fund’s tax positionsand has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’sfinancial statements. The following are the major tax jurisdictions for theFund and the earliest tax year subject to examination: United States — 2007.

Results of Operations

 

January 1, 2010 through March 31, 2010

 

The Fund experienced a net trading profitbefore brokerage commissions and related fees of $18,268,907 for the firstquarter of 2010.  The profits wereprimarily attributable to the Fund trading in currencies, interest rates,energy, metals, agriculture and stock indices sectors.

 

The currency sector posted profits to the Fund. Losses were posted tothe Fund at the beginning of the first quarter as sales in Japanese yen versusvarious commodity-linked currencies performed badly due to the fall incommodity prices.

In particular, profits were achieved throughthe strength of the Mexican peso, the Canadian and Australian dollars, theSouth African rand and the Russian ruble. Many Asian currencies, such as thosefrom Indonesia, Malaysia, India and the Philippines, also performed very well.The quarter ended with profits being posted to the Fund.

On the one hand, thequest was to stimulate the economy with low interest rates but with risingbudget deficits; on the other hand, the quest was to strive to prevent newbubbles and implement (forced) tighter budget policy. Where this pursuitpointed to a certain direction, as in South Korea, Australia and Italy, gainswere earned from the resulting trends. Elsewhere, the outcome was a variety oflimited losses resulting in losses being posted to the Fund at the end of thequarter.

The only true excitement in June was found in the coffee market.Reports regarding smaller than expected supplies drove prices up in two weekstime. This was unfavorable for a short position in Robusta coffee, but thisloss was more than offset by gains on long positions in the Arabica flavor.Very nice trends were also seen in a few very small commodity markets, such asUnited States rice, European rapeseed and South African maize. These wereprofited from to the extent that the size of these markets allowed.Unfortunately the larger commodity markets offered fewer opportunitiesresulting in losses being posted to the Fund at the end of the quarter.

The markets in the United States,especially in the small and midcap indices, showed the highest resilience.However, the profits could not fully offset the losses posted to the Fund inApril.  Purchases of mostly non-euroequity markets suffered harshly in the first week of May. In the second

halfof the month, a small portion of that loss was made up with more balancedpositions but not enough to offset losses resulting in losses being posted tothe Fund in the middle of the quarter. The limited positions held in the equitymarkets in June were the most affected by the varying moods. When optimism inSoutheast Asia emerged, losses were suffered on short positions in Hong Kongand Singapore.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Introduction

 

The Fund is a speculative commodity pool. The market sensitiveinstruments held by it are acquired for speculative trading purposes and all orsubstantially all of the Fund’s assets are subject to the risk of tradingloss.  Unlike an operating company, therisk of market sensitive instruments is integral, not incidental, to the Fund’smain line of business.

 

Market movements result in frequent changes in the fair market value ofthe Fund’s open positions and, consequently, in its earnings and cash flow. TheFund’s market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including thelevel and volatility of interest rates, exchange rates, equity price levels,the market value of financial instruments and contracts, the diversificationeffects among the Fund’s open positions and the liquidity of the markets inwhich it trades.

 

The Fund, under the direction of the trading advisors, rapidly acquiresand liquidates both long and short positions in a wide range of differentmarkets.  Consequently, it is notpossible to predict how a particular future market scenario will affect performance,and the Fund’s past performance is not necessarily indicative of its futureresults.

 

Value at Risk is a measure of the maximum amount which the Fund couldreasonably be expected to lose in a given market sector. However, the inherentuncertainty of the Fund’s speculative trading and the recurrence in the marketstraded by the Fund of market movements far exceeding expectations could resultin actual trading or non-trading losses far beyond the indicated Value at Riskor the Fund’s experience to date (i.e., “risk of ruin”). In light of theforegoing, as well as the risks and uncertainties intrinsic to all futureprojections, the quantifications included in this section should not beconsidered to constitute any assurance or representation that the Fund’s lossesin any market sector will be limited to Value at Risk or by the Fund’s attemptsto manage its market risk.

 

Quantifying The Fund’s Trading Value At Risk

 

Quantitative Forward-Looking Statements

 

The following quantitative disclosures regarding the Fund’s market riskexposures contain “forward-looking statement” within the meaning of the safeharbor from civil liability provided for such statements by the PrivateSecurities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of theSecurities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of1934).  All quantitative disclosures inthis section are deemed to be forward-looking statements for purposes of thesafe harbor, except for statements of historical fact.

 

The Fund’s risk exposure in the various market sectors traded byTranstrend is quantified below in terms of Value at Risk.  Due to the Fund’s fair value accounting, anyloss in the fair value of the Fund’s open positions is directly reflected inthe Fund’s earnings (realized or unrealized) and cash flow (at least in thecase of exchange-traded contracts in which profits and losses on open positionsare settled daily through variation margin).

 

29

----

 

Maintenance margin requirements have been used by the Fund as themeasure of its Value at Risk. Maintenance margin requirements are set by exchanges to equal or exceedthe maximum loss in the fair value of any given contract incurred in 95%-99% ofthe one-day time periods included in the historical sample (generally approximatelyone year) researched for purposes of establishing margin levels.  The maintenance margin levels are establishedby dealers and exchanges using historical price studies as well as anassessment of current market volatility (including the implied volatility ofthe options on a given futures contract) and economic fundamentals to provide aprobabilistic estimate of the maximum expected near-term one-day pricefluctuation.

 

In the case of market sensitive instruments which are notexchange-traded (almost exclusively currencies in the case of the Fund), themargin requirements for the equivalent futures positions have been used asValue at Risk.  In those rare cases inwhich a futures-equivalent margin is not available, dealers’ margins have beenused.

 

100% positive correlation in the different positions held in eachmarket risk category has been assumed. Consequently, the margin requirements applicable to the open contractshave been aggregated to determine each trading category’s aggregate Value atRisk.  The diversification effectsresulting from the fact that the Fund’s positions are rarely, if ever, 100%positively correlated have not been reflected.

Material Limitations on Value at Risk as anAssessment of Market Risk

 

The face value of the market sector instrumentsheld by the Fund is typically many times the applicable maintenance marginrequirement (maintenance margin requirements generally ranging betweenapproximately 1% and 10% of contract face value) as well as many times thecapitalization of the Fund.  Themagnitude of the Fund’s open positions creates a “risk of ruin” not typicallyfound 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 Fund toincur severe losses over a short period of time.   The foregoing Value at Risk table — as wellas the past performance of the Fund — gives no indication of this “risk ofruin.”

Non-TradingRisk

 

Foreign Currency Balances;Cash on Deposit with MLPF&S

 

The Fund has non-tradingmarket risk on its foreign cash balances not needed for margin. However, thesebalances (as well as the market risk they represent) are immaterial.

 

The Fund also hasnon-trading market risk on the approximately 90%-95% of its assets which areheld in cash at MLPF&S or BlackRock. The value of this cash is not interestrate sensitive, but there is cash flow risk in that if interest rates declineso will the cash flow generated on these monies. This cash flow risk isimmaterial.

 

Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Primary Trading Risk Exposures

 

The following qualitative disclosures regarding the Fund’s market riskexposures — except for (i) those disclosures that are statements ofhistorical fact and (ii) the descriptions of how the Fund manages itsprimary market risk exposures — constitute forward-looking statements withinthe meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E ofthe Securities Exchange Act. The Fund’s primary market risk exposures as wellas the strategies used and to be used by MLAI and Transtrend for managing suchexposures are subject to numerous uncertainties, contingencies and risks, anyone of which could cause the actual results of the Fund’s risk controls todiffer materially from the objectives of such strategies. Governmentinterventions, defaults and expropriations, illiquid markets, the emergence ofdominant fundamental factors, political upheavals, changes in historical pricerelationships, and an influx of new market participants, increased regulationand many other factors could result in material losses as well as in materialchanges to the risk exposures and the risk management strategies of the Fund.There can be no assurance that the Fund’s current market exposure and/or riskmanagement strategies will not change materially or that any such strategieswill be effective in either the short- or long-term. Investors must be preparedto lose all or substantially all of the time value of their investment in theFund.

 

The following were the primary trading risk exposures of the Fund as ofSeptember 30, 2010, by market sector.

 

Interest Rates

 

Interest rate risk is the principal market exposure of the Fund.  Interest rate movements directly affect theprice of derivative sovereign bond positions held by the Fund and indirectlythe value of its stock index and currency positions. Interest rate movements inone country as well as relative interest rate movements between countriesmaterially impact the Fund’s profitability. The Fund’s primary interest rateexposure is to interest rate fluctuations in the United States and the otherG-7 countries. However, the Fund also takes positions in the government debt ofsmaller nations e.g., Australia. MLAI anticipates that G-7 interest rates willremain the primary market exposure of the Fund for the foreseeable future.

 

32

----

 

Currencies

 

The Fund trades in a number of currencies. The Fund does not anticipatethat the risk profile of the Fund’s currency sector will change significantlyin the future. The currency trading Value at Risk figure includes foreignmargin amounts converted into U.S. dollars with an incremental adjustment toreflect the exchange rate risk of maintaining Value at Risk in a functionalcurrency other than U.S. dollars.

 

Stock Indices

 

The Fund’s primary equity exposure is to S&P 500, Nikkei and GermanDAX equity index price movements. The Fund is primarily exposed to the risk ofadverse price trends or static markets in the major U.S., European and Asianindices.

 

Metals

 

The Fund’s metals market exposure is to fluctuations in the price ofprecious and non-precious metals.

 

Agricultural Commodities

 

The Fund’s primary agricultural commodities exposure is to agriculturalprice movements which are often directly affected by severe or unexpectedweather conditions. Soybeans, grains, and livestock accounted for thesubstantial bulk of the Fund’s agricultural commodities exposure as ofSeptember 30, 2010. However, it is anticipated that the Fund will maintain anemphasis on cotton, grains and sugar, in which the Fund has historically takenits largest positions.

 

Energy

 

The Fund’s primary energy market exposure is to natural gas and crudeoil price movements, often resulting from political developments in the MiddleEast. Oil prices can be volatile and substantial profits and losses have beenand are expected to continue to be experienced in this market.

 

Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Non-Trading Risk Exposure

 

The following were the only non-trading risk exposures of the Fund asof September 30, 2010.

 

Foreign Currency Balances

 

The Fund’s primary foreign currency balances are in Japanese yen,Swedish krona and Euros.

 

U.S. Dollar Cash Balance

 

The Fund holds U.S. dollars only in cash at MLPF&S or BlackRock.The Fund has immaterial cash flow interest rate risk on its cash on depositwith MLPF&S in that declining interest rates would cause the income fromsuch cash to decline.
