Exhibit 10.12

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

     This SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
made as of the 15th
day of August, 2011 is by and among CERES MANAGED FUTURES LLC,
a Delaware limited liability company (“CMF” or the “General Partner”), EMERGING CTA PORTFOLIO L.P.,
a New York limited partnership (the “Partnership”) and PGR Capital LLP, a United Kingdom limited
liability partnership (the “Advisor,” together with the General Partner and the Partnership, the
“Parties”). This Agreement amends and restates the Amended and Restated Management Agreement dated
as of November 1, 2010 (the “Existing Agreement”) by and among the Parties.

WITNESSETH:

     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, such trading to be conducted directly or through investment in
PGR Master Fund L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Master Fund”), of which CMF is the
general partner and PGR is the advisor; and

     WHEREAS, the Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement dated as of October 20,
2010 (the “Partnership Agreement”) permits CMF to delegate to one or more commodity trading
advisors CMF’s authority to make trading decisions for the Partnership, which advisors may or may
not have any prior experience managing client funds; and

     WHEREAS, the Advisor is registered as a commodity trading advisor with the Commodity Futures
Trading Commission (“CFTC”), is a member of the National Futures Association (“NFA”) and is
authorized and regulated in the United Kingdom by the Financial Services Authority (“FSA”); and

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

     WHEREAS, the Parties have entered into the Existing Agreement and now wish to amend and
restate the Existing Agreement to increase the amount of leverage used to manage the Partnership’s
assets and to make other appropriate changes; 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 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 allocated to it by the General Partner in commodity

 

 

interests, including commodity futures contracts, options, forward contracts, swaps and other
derivative instruments. All such trading on behalf of the Partnership shall be in accordance with
the trading policies set forth in the Partnership’s Private Placement Memorandum dated October
2010, as supplemented (the “Memorandum”), as 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. CMF
has initially selected the Advisor’s PGR Mayfair Program (the “Program”), as described in Appendix
A 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 incur losses.

     (b) CMF acknowledges receipt of the description of the Program, attached hereto as Appendix A.
All trades made by the Advisor for the account of the Partnership 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.

     (c) The initial allocation of the Partnership’s assets to the Advisor will be made to the
Program as described in Appendix A attached hereto, provided that CMF and the Partnership agree
that the Advisor will manage the assets of the Partnership utilizing up to 1.5 times the leverage
normally applied to the Program, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties hereto in writing. 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 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 A 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”), partners,
directors, officers and employees, 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 its 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 (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 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 such other 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 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
days’ prior notice to the Advisor of any reallocations or liquidations.

     (g) The Advisor will not be liable for trading losses in the Partnership’s account
including losses caused by errors; provided, however, that the Advisor will be liable to the
Partnership with respect to losses incurred due to errors committed or caused by it or any of
its
principals or employees in communicating improper trading instructions or orders to any broker
on behalf of 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, the General Partner, 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 and (ii) a monthly fee

-3-

 

for professional management services equal to 1% 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% and multiplying the result
thereof by the ratio which the total number of calendar days in that month bears to the total
number of calendar days in the year).

     (b) “Net Assets” shall have the meaning set forth in Paragraph 7(d)(1) of the Partnership
Agreement and 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 or incentive fees payable as of the date of such determination.

     (c) “New Trading Profits” shall mean the excess, if any, of Net Assets managed by the Advisor
at the end of the fiscal period over Net Assets managed by the Advisor at the end of the highest
previous fiscal period or Net Assets allocated to the Advisor at the date trading by the Advisor on
behalf of the Partnership commences, whichever is higher, and as further adjusted to eliminate the
effect on Net Assets 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 will be
attributed to the Advisor based on the Advisor’s proportionate share of Net Assets. Ongoing
expenses will not include expenses of litigation not involving the activities of the Advisor on
behalf of the Partnership. No incentive fee shall be paid until the end of the first calendar
quarter of trading following the date of this Agreement, which fee shall be based on New Trading
Profits earned from the commencement of trading operations by the Advisor on behalf of the
Partnership. Interest income earned, if any, will not be taken into account in computing New
Trading Profits earned by the Advisor. If Net Assets allocated to the Advisor are reduced due to
redemptions, distributions or reallocations (net of additions), there will 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
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

-4-

 

of the Partnership acknowledges that, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Advisor and its
officers, directors, employees and partners, may render advisory, consulting and management
services to other clients and accounts. The Advisor and its officers, directors, employees and
partners 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 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.

     (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 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, 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 partners
presently act, and it is agreed that they 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 composite 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 manager.

     5. TERM. (a) This Agreement shall continue in effect until June 30, 2012. CMF
may, in its sole discretion, renew this Agreement for additional one-year periods upon notice
to
the Advisor not less than 30 days prior to the expiration of the previous period. At any time
during the term of this Agreement, CMF may terminate this Agreement at any month-end upon
30 days’ notice to the Advisor. At any time during the term of this Agreement, CMF may elect
immediately to terminate this Agreement upon 30 days’ notice to the Advisor if (i) the net
asset
value per unit of the Partnership shall decline as of the close of business on any day to $400
or
less; (ii) the Net Assets allocated to the Advisor (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; (iii) limited partners owning at least 50% of the
outstanding units of the Partnership 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; or (vi) CMF reasonably believes that the
application of speculative position limits will substantially affect the performance of the
Partnership. At any time during the term of this Agreement, CMF may elect immediately to
terminate this Agreement if (i) the Advisor merges, consolidates with another entity, sells a
substantial portion of its assets, or becomes bankrupt or insolvent; (ii) Nigel Gent 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; or (iii) the Advisor’s registration
as a
commodity trading advisor with the CFTC or its membership with the NFA or any other
regulatory authority, is terminated or suspended. 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’ 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 June 30, 2012; or (iii) in the event that the General Partner
or Partnership fails to comply with the terms of this Agreement. The Advisor may immediately
terminate this Agreement if CMF’s registration as a commodity trading advisor, commodity pool
operator or its membership in the 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, cost, expense (including, without limitation, attorneys’ and accountants’
fees),
judgments and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by it in 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

-6-

 

that its conduct did not constitute negligence, 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) 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 it against the expenses (including,
without limitation, 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, 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
principals, officers, directors, partners and employees 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, cost or expense (including, without
limitation, attorneys’ and accountants’ fees), judgments and amounts paid in settlement actually
and reasonably incurred by them (A) as a result of the material breach of any material
representations and warranties 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 there has been a final judicial or
regulatory determination or, in the event of a settlement of any action or proceeding with the
prior written consent of the Advisor, 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

-7-

 

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)).

     (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, partners or employees 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, cost or expense (including, without limitation, attorneys’ and
accountants’ fees) 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, 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.

Appendix A

PGR Mayfair Program

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

PGR Capital’s futures investment programme seeks to profit over the medium term by exploiting
inefficiencies in futures and forward markets across a broad range of asset classes and geographic
regions. Proprietary models developed by the founding partners are implemented in an in-house
trading system which systematically processes real-time data and executes trades automatically on
electronic future exchanges and foreign exchange trading platforms.

The following paragraphs discuss the main areas of PGR’s investment programme in turn: strategy,
diversification, risk management, technology and execution, and research.

STRATEGIES

PGR’s investment strategies have a strong mathematical and statistical basis and exploit
established signal processing and econometric techniques. Underlying our strategies are models of
how the markets move; it is an important principle that focuses on real markets rather than data
mining. Models may be price based or use fundamental data to find inefficiencies to exploit.
Research is an on-going part of our programme (see later section) and strategies may be extended to
exploit new inefficiencies over time, utilising market price and volume data or fundamental data.

Strategies are primarily directional in nature; they identify and take advantage of both upward and
downward price momentum. The source of these trends may be sound economic considerations,
asymmetric information or behavioural patterns of market participants. Whatever the cause,
persistent trends can be shown to occur in all markets across all sectors with varying strengths
and durations. PGR’s strategies have been designed to identify the direction and strength of any
trend over multiple timeframes and have the ability to adapt to the prevailing market conditions.

PORTFOLIO

Broad diversification is a key feature of the programme and is achieved through trading a wide
ranging portfolio of markets. The programme trades in liquid futures and forward markets in the
equity index, bond, currency, short-term interest rate and commodity sectors.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Rigorous risk management is central to all PGR’s systems and operations. Risk control is
integral to the trading strategies themselves; the strategies scale positions according to
individual market risk and react dynamically to changing market conditions to control the risk of
the portfolio as a whole. The automation of trade execution and reconciliation avoids the
possibility of human errors while further processes continuously monitor and assess risk throughout
all stages of the investment process.

Financial markets are always subject to unexpected events which by their nature cannot be
predicted. These include the effects of wars, terrorist attacks, natural disasters, fraud etc. Any
investment programme is vulnerable to these events which cannot be avoided. However, when they do
occur it is important to be able to rapidly assess the situation and react accordingly. By
adjusting our positions and gearing according to the prevailing levels of market and portfolio risk
we can rapidly control the risk of our portfolio as a whole.

A-1

 

PGR has developed novel processes to monitor and assess market risk using a number of standard and
non-standard measures including correlations, value at risk, sector exposure, entropy, stress tests
etc. These measures enable us to better understand and react to market risks.

TECHNOLOGY AND EXECUTION

Technology is the backbone of our business. PGR’s sophisticated, robust and already-proven
computerised systems enable the entire trading process to be automated, from real-time signal
generation, through electronic trade execution to STP trade reconciliation. This results in
reliable and efficient execution and operations 24 hours a day 5 days a week.

The system monitors live market data from real-time feeds and continuously updates the desired
position for each market. Orders are generated and sent electronically when there is sufficient
liquidity and the spread is narrow. As the fills are received back from the broker, they are passed
through to the back office system for reconciliation with the brokers and NAV calculation for the
clients. This results in fully audited Straight Through Processing.

The system is capable of executing trades electronically through multiple brokers, 24 hours a day
without the need for dedicated trading staff.

PGR’s trading system is implemented in Java using professional software engineering practices.
Using real-time programming methods, the system remains accurate and responsive in even the busiest
market conditions. The system executes trades fully electronically using the industry standard FIX
protocol and books its fills into the back office system without the need for human interaction.

RESEARCH AND SIMULATION

Continual development of strategies is essential to maintain competitiveness. The three
partners each have strong backgrounds in research and over the last two years we have developed a
new rigorous yet flexible simulation environment. This enables us to develop and compare different
strategies and assess all aspects of their performance before any live testing takes place.

The simulation environment has been built using Matlab, a high-level technical computing language
and interactive environment for algorithm development, data analysis and data visualisation. This
gives a flexible environment that can be used to rapidly try new ideas, analyse their performance
and visualise the results.

The performance of the strategies has been assessed using more than 15 years of historic market
prices. Trading strategies are prototyped in a combination of pure Matlab and Java. The use of Java
enables the live trading system to use much of the same code developed and tested in the simulation
environment, ensuring that the live strategies have been correctly implemented and rigorously
tested.

During the last year we have developed new adaptive techniques to improve the risk return profile
of the programme. We have a number of other very promising techniques which we are developing
further to ensure our performance continues to be competitive with the other leading CTAs.

EXECUTION VERSION

AMENDED AND RESTATED MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

          This
AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT made as of the 15th day of August, 2011 among CERES MANAGED
FUTURES LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“CMF” or the “General Partner”), DIVERSIFIED
2000 FUTURES FUND L.P., a New York limited partnership (the “Partnership”) and PGR CAPITAL LLP, a
United Kingdom limited liability partnership (“PGR” or the “Advisor”). This Agreement amends and
restates the Management Agreement dated as of October 29, 2010 (the “Existing Agreement”) by and
among the parties.

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,
swaps and forward contracts on U.S. and non-U.S. markets with the objective of achieving
substantial capital appreciation, such trading to be conducted directly or through investment in
PGR Master Fund L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Master Fund”), of which CMF is the
general partner and PGR is the advisor; and

          WHEREAS, the Limited Partnership Agreement establishing the Partnership (the “Limited
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 the National Futures Association (“NFA”) and is
authorized and regulated in the United Kingdom by the Financial Services Authority (“FSA”); and

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

          WHEREAS, the parties have entered into the Existing Agreement and now wish to amend and
restate the Existing Agreement to increase the amount of leverage used to manage the Partnership’s
assets and to make other appropriate changes; 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 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 allocated to it from time to time by the General Partner in commodity interests,
including commodity futures contracts, options and forward contracts. The Advisor may also engage
in swaps transactions and other derivative transactions on behalf of the

 

 

Partnership with the prior approval of CMF. All such trading on behalf of the Partnership
shall be in accordance with the trading policies set forth in the Partnership’s Prospectus dated
November 25, 2002, as supplemented from time to time (the “Prospectus”), and as 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. CMF has initially selected the Advisor’s PGR Mayfair Program
(the “Program”), as described in Appendix A 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 Prospectus 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 incur losses.

          (b) CMF acknowledges receipt of the description of the Program, attached hereto as Appendix A.
All trades made by the Advisor for the account of the Partnership 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.

          (c) The initial allocation of the Partnership’s assets to the Advisor will be made to the
Program as described in Appendix A attached hereto, provided that CMF and the Partnership agree
that the Advisor will manage the assets of the Partnership utilizing up to 1.5 times the leverage
normally applied to the Program, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties hereto in writing. 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 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 A 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.

-2-

 

          (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”), partners,
directors, officers and employees, 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 its 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 (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
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 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
days’ prior notice to the Advisor of any reallocations or liquidations.

          (g) The Advisor will not be liable for trading losses in the Partnership’s account including
losses caused by errors; provided, however, that the Advisor will be liable to the Partnership with
respect to losses incurred due to errors committed or caused by it or any of its principals or
employees in communicating improper trading instructions or orders to any broker on behalf of 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, the General Partner, 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 annual incentive fee equal to 20% of New Trading Profits (as such term is
defined below) earned by the Advisor for the Partnership and (ii) a monthly fee for

-3-

 

professional management services equal to 1% 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% and multiplying the result
thereof by the ratio which the total number of calendar days in that month bears to the total
number of calendar days in the year).

          (b) “Net Assets” shall have the meaning set forth in Paragraph 7(d)(1) of the Limited
Partnership Agreement dated as of August 25, 1999 and 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 or incentive fees payable as of the date of such
determination.

          (c) “New Trading Profits” shall mean the excess, if any, of Net Assets managed by the Advisor
at the end of the fiscal period over Net Assets managed by the Advisor at the end of the highest
previous fiscal period or Net Assets allocated to the Advisor at the date trading by the Advisor on
behalf of the Partnership commences, whichever is higher, and as further adjusted to eliminate the
effect on Net Assets 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 will be
attributed to the Advisor based on the Advisor’s proportionate share of Net Assets. Ongoing
expenses will not include expenses of litigation not involving the activities of the Advisor on
behalf of the Partnership. No incentive fee shall be paid until the end of the first calendar
quarter of trading following the date of this Agreement, which fee shall be based on New Trading
Profits earned from the commencement of trading operations by the Advisor on behalf of the
Partnership. Interest income earned, if any, will not be taken into account in computing New
Trading Profits earned by the Advisor. If Net Assets allocated to the Advisor are reduced due to
redemptions, distributions or reallocations (net of additions), there will 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) Annual 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 year or
month, as the case may be, the annual incentive fee shall be computed as if the effective date of
termination were the last day of the then current year 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-

 

          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 partners, may render advisory, consulting and management services to other clients
and accounts. The Advisor and its officers, directors, employees and partners 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 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.

          (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 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, 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 partners
presently act, and it is agreed that they 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 manager.

-5-

 

          5. TERM. (a) This Agreement shall continue in effect until June 30, 2012. CMF may,
in its sole discretion, renew this Agreement for additional one-year periods upon notice to the
Advisor not less than 30 days prior to the expiration of the previous period. At any time during
the term of this Agreement, CMF may terminate this Agreement at any month-end upon 30 days’ notice
to the Advisor. At any time during the term of this Agreement, CMF may elect immediately to
terminate this Agreement upon 30 days’ notice to the Advisor if (i) the net asset value per unit of
the Partnership shall decline as of the close of business on any day to $400 or less; (ii) the Net
Assets allocated to the Advisor (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; (iii) limited partners owning at least 50% of the outstanding units of the
Partnership 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; or (vi) CMF reasonably believes that the application of speculative
position limits will substantially affect the performance of the Partnership. At any time during
the term of this Agreement, CMF may elect immediately to terminate this Agreement if (i) the
Advisor merges, consolidates with another entity, sells a substantial portion of its assets, or
becomes bankrupt or insolvent; (ii) Nigel Gent 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; or (iii) the Advisor’s registration as a commodity trading advisor with the
CFTC or its membership with the NFA or any other regulatory authority, is terminated or suspended.
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’ notice to CMF
(i) in the event that the trading policies of the Partnership established from time to time are
changed in such manner that the Advisor reasonably believes will adversely affect the performance
of its trading strategies; (ii) after June 30, 2012; or (iii) in the event that the General Partner
or Partnership fails to comply with the terms of this Agreement. The Advisor may immediately
terminate this Agreement if CMF’s registration as a commodity trading advisor, commodity pool
operator or its membership in the 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, cost, expense (including, without limitation, attorneys’ and accountants’ fees), judgments
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by it in 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, intentional misconduct, or a breach of its fiduciary

-6-

 

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
Limited 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) 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 it against the expenses (including, without
limitation, 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, 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
principals, officers, directors, partners and employees 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, cost or expense (including, without
limitation, attorneys’ and accountants’ fees), judgments and amounts paid in settlement actually
and reasonably incurred by them (A) as a result of the material breach of any material
representations and warranties 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 there has been a final judicial or
regulatory determination or, in the event of a settlement of any action or proceeding with the
prior written consent of the Advisor, 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)).

          (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, partners or employees 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, cost or expense (including, without limitation, attorneys’ and
accountants’ fees) 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, of the
party obligated to indemnify such party.

          (e) The provisions of this Section 6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Appendix A

PGR Mayfair Program

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

PGR Capital’s futures investment programme seeks to profit over the medium term by exploiting
inefficiencies in futures and forward markets across a broad range of asset classes and geographic
regions. Proprietary models developed by the founding partners are implemented in an in-house
trading system which systematically processes real-time data and executes trades automatically on
electronic future exchanges and foreign exchange trading platforms.

The following paragraphs discuss the main areas of PGR’s investment programme in turn: strategy,
diversification, risk management, technology and execution, and research.

STRATEGIES

PGR’s investment strategies have a strong mathematical and statistical basis and exploit
established signal processing and econometric techniques. Underlying our strategies are models of
how the markets move; it is an important principle that focuses on real markets rather than data
mining. Models may be price based or use fundamental data to find inefficiencies to exploit.
Research is an on-going part of our programme (see later section) and strategies may be extended to
exploit new inefficiencies over time, utilising market price and volume data or fundamental data.

Strategies are primarily directional in nature; they identify and take advantage of both upward and
downward price momentum. The source of these trends may be sound economic considerations,
asymmetric information or behavioural patterns of market participants. Whatever the cause,
persistent trends can be shown to occur in all markets across all sectors with varying strengths
and durations. PGR’s strategies have been designed to identify the direction and strength of any
trend over multiple timeframes and have the ability to adapt to the prevailing market conditions.

PORTFOLIO

Broad diversification is a key feature of the programme and is achieved through trading a wide
ranging portfolio of markets. The programme trades in liquid futures and forward markets in the
equity index, bond, currency, short-term interest rate and commodity sectors.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Rigorous risk management is central to all PGR’s systems and operations. Risk control is
integral to the trading strategies themselves; the strategies scale positions according to
individual market risk and react dynamically to changing market conditions to control the risk of
the portfolio as a whole. The automation of trade execution and reconciliation avoids the
possibility of human errors while further processes continuously monitor and assess risk throughout
all stages of the investment process.

Financial markets are always subject to unexpected events which by their nature cannot be
predicted. These include the effects of wars, terrorist attacks, natural disasters, fraud etc. Any
investment programme is vulnerable to these events which cannot be avoided. However, when they do
occur it is important to be able to rapidly assess the situation and react accordingly. By
adjusting our positions and gearing according to the prevailing levels of market and portfolio risk
we can rapidly control the risk of our portfolio as a whole.

A-1

 

PGR has developed novel processes to monitor and assess market risk using a number of standard and
non-standard measures including correlations, value at risk, sector exposure, entropy, stress tests
etc. These measures enable us to better understand and react to market risks.

TECHNOLOGY AND EXECUTION

Technology is the backbone of our business. PGR’s sophisticated, robust and already-proven
computerised systems enable the entire trading process to be automated, from real-time signal
generation, through electronic trade execution to STP trade reconciliation. This results in
reliable and efficient execution and operations 24 hours a day 5 days a week.

The system monitors live market data from real-time feeds and continuously updates the desired
position for each market. Orders are generated and sent electronically when there is sufficient
liquidity and the spread is narrow. As the fills are received back from the broker, they are passed
through to the back office system for reconciliation with the brokers and NAV calculation for the
clients. This results in fully audited Straight Through Processing.

The system is capable of executing trades electronically through multiple brokers, 24 hours a day
without the need for dedicated trading staff.

PGR’s trading system is implemented in Java using professional software engineering practices.
Using real-time programming methods, the system remains accurate and responsive in even the busiest
market conditions. The system executes trades fully electronically using the industry standard FIX
protocol and books its fills into the back office system without the need for human interaction.

RESEARCH AND SIMULATION

Continual development of strategies is essential to maintain competitiveness. The three
partners each have strong backgrounds in research and over the last two years we have developed a
new rigorous yet flexible simulation environment. This enables us to develop and compare different
strategies and assess all aspects of their performance before any live testing takes place.

The simulation environment has been built using Matlab, a high-level technical computing language
and interactive environment for algorithm development, data analysis and data visualisation. This
gives a flexible environment that can be used to rapidly try new ideas, analyse their performance
and visualise the results.

The performance of the strategies has been assessed using more than 15 years of historic market
prices. Trading strategies are prototyped in a combination of pure Matlab and Java. The use of Java
enables the live trading system to use much of the same code developed and tested in the simulation
environment, ensuring that the live strategies have been correctly implemented and rigorously
tested.

During the last year we have developed new adaptive techniques to improve the risk return profile
of the programme. We have a number of other very promising techniques which we are developing
further to ensure our performance continues to be competitive with the other leading CTAs.
