JWH GLOBAL TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2002

(1)  General Information and Summary

JWH Global Trust (the Trust), a Delaware business trust organized on November 12, 1996, was formed to engage in the speculative trading of futures contracts on currencies, interest rates, energy and agricultural products, metals and stock indices, spot and forward contracts on currencies and precious metals, and exchanges for physicals pursuant to the trading instructions of independent trading advisors. The Managing Owner of the Trust is CIS Investments, Inc. (CISI). The clearing broker is Cargill Investor Services, Inc. (Clearing Broker or CIS), the parent company of CISI. The broker for forward contracts is CIS Financial Services, Inc. (CISFS or Forwards Currency Broker), an affiliate of CISI. The Clearing Broker and the Forwards Currency Broker will collectively be referred to as the Brokers.

Units of beneficial ownership of the Trust commenced selling on April 3, 1997 and trading began on June 2, 1997. The initial amount offered for investment was $50,000,000. On September 26, 1997, the Trust registered an additional $155,000,000 for further investment and continued the offering. By September 30, 2002, a total of 1,249,349.35 units representing an investment for $132,860,918.18 of beneficial ownership interest had been sold in the combined offerings. In addition, during the offerings, the Managing Owner purchased a total of 8,602.73 units, representing a total investment of $885,058. See the JWH Global Trust prospectus for further details of the offering.

The Trust will be terminated on December 31, 2026, if none of the following occur prior to that date: (1) beneficial owners holding more than 50% of the outstanding units notify the Managing Owner to dissolve the Trust as of a specific date; (2) disassociation of the Managing Owner with the Trust; (3) bankruptcy of the Trust; (4) a decrease in the net asset value (NAV) to less than $2,500,000; (5) a decline in the NAV per unit to $50 or less; (6) dissolution of the Trust; or (7) any event that would make it unlawful for the existence of the Trust to be continued or require dissolution of the Trust.

(2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of the Trust conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to general practices within the commodities industry. The following is a description of the more significant of those policies that the Trust follows in preparing its financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

Commodity futures contracts, forward contracts, physical commodities, and related options are recorded on the trade date. All such transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis and marked to market daily. Unrealized gains and losses on open contracts reflected in the statements of financial condition represent the difference between original contract amount and market value (as determined by exchange settlement prices for futures contracts and related options and cash dealer prices at a predetermined time for forward contracts, physical commodities, and their related options) as of the last business day of the year or as of the last date of the financial statements.

The Trust earns interest on its assets on deposit at the Brokers at 100% of the 91-day Treasury bill rate for deposits denominated in U.S. dollars, and at the rates agreed between the Trust and CIS and CISFS for deposits denominated in other currencies.

Redemptions

A beneficial owner may cause any or all of his or her units to be redeemed by the Trust effective as of the last trading day of any month of the Trust based on the NAV per unit on five days’ written notice to the Managing Owner. Payment will be made within ten business days of the effective date of the redemption. Any redemption made during the first 11 months of the investment is subject to a 3% redemption penalty. Any redemption made in the 12th month of investment or later will not be subject to any penalty. The Trust’s Amended and Restated Declaration and Agreement of Trust contains a full description of redemption and distribution policies.

Organizational and Offering Costs

Initial organizational and offering costs advanced to the Trust were amortized over the first 60 months of the Trust’s operations, subject to a maximum monthly payment of 1/60 of 2% of the month-end net assets. Ongoing offering costs, subject to a ceiling of 0.5% of the Trust’s, average month-end net assets, are paid by the Trust and expensed as incurred.

Commissions

Commodity brokerage commissions are typically paid for each trade transacted and are referred to as “round-turn commissions”. These commissions cover both the initial purchase (or sale) and the subsequent offsetting sale (or purchase) of a commodity futures contract. The Trust does not pay commodity brokerage commissions on a per-trade basis, but rather pays monthly flat-rate Brokerage Fees at the annual rate of 6.5% (or a monthly rate of approximately 0.542%) of the Trust’s average month-end assets after reduction of the management fee. CIS receives these Brokerage Fees irrespective of the number of trades executed on the Trust’s behalf. The amount paid to CIS is reduced by exchange fees paid by the Trust.

Foreign Currency Transactions

Trading accounts in foreign currency denominations are susceptible both to movements in the underlying contract markets as well as to fluctuation in currency rates. Translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars for closed positions are translated at an average exchange rate for the year, while year-end balances are translated at the year-end currency rates. The impact of the translation is reflected in the statements of operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(3)  Fees

Management fees are accrued and paid monthly, incentive fees are accrued monthly and paid quarterly. Trading decisions for the period of these financial statements were made by John W. Henry & Company, Inc. (JWH) utilizing three of its trading programs, the JWH GlobalAnalytics Family of Programs, the Financial and Metals Portfolio, and the G-7 Currency Portfolio.

Under signed agreement, prior to October 1, 2000, JWH received a monthly management fee of 1/12 of 4% of the Trust’s month-end net assets after deduction of a portion of the Brokerage Fees at an annual rate of 1.25% of month-end Trust assets but before deduction of any management fees, redemptions, distributions, or incentive fee accrued or payable as of the relevant month end. Effective October 1, 2000, the agreement with JWH was changed to reduce the monthly management fee to 1/12 of 2% of the month-end net assets after the deductions.

Also, under signed agreement, prior to October 1, 2000, the Trust paid to JWH a quarterly incentive fee equal to 15% of the new trading profits of the Trust. The incentive fee is based on the overall performance of the Trust, not individually in respect of the performance of the individual programs utilized by the Trust. This fee is also calculated by deducting a portion of the Brokerage Fees at an annual rate of 1.25%. Effective October 1, 2000, the agreement with JWH was changed to increase the incentive fee to 20% of the new trading profits.

(4)  Income Taxes

No provisions for Federal income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements as each beneficial owner is responsible for reporting income (loss) based on the pro rata share of the profits or losses of the Trust. Generally, for both Federal and state tax purposes, trusts, such as the JWH Global Trust, are treated as partnerships. The Trust is responsible for the Illinois State Partnership Information and Replacement Tax based on the operating results of the Trust. Such tax amounted to $0 for the quarters ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 and is included in operating expenses in the statement of operations.

(5)  Trading Activities and Related Risks

The Trust engages in the speculative trading of U.S. and foreign futures contracts, and forward contracts (collectively derivatives). These derivatives include both financial and non-financial contracts held as part of a diversified trading strategy. The Trust is exposed to both market risk, the risk arising from changes in the market value of the contracts; and credit risk, the risk of failure by another party to perform according to the terms of a contract.

The purchase and sale of futures requires margin deposits with a Futures Commission Merchant (FCM). Additional deposits may be necessary for any loss on contract value. The Commodity Exchange Act (CE Act) requires a FCM to segregate all customer transactions and assets from the FCM’s proprietary activities. A customer’s cash and other property such as U.S. Treasury Bills, deposited with a FCM are considered commingled with all other customer funds subject to the FCM’s segregation requirements. In the event of a FCM’s insolvency, recovery may be limited to a pro rata share of segregated funds available. It is possible that the recovered amount could be less than the total of cash and other property deposited.

The Trust has cash on deposit with an affiliate interbank market maker in connection with its trading of forward contracts. In the event of interbank market maker’s insolvency, recovery of the Trust assets on deposit may be limited to account insurance or other protection afforded such deposits. In the normal course of business, the Trust does not require collateral from such interbank market maker. Because forward contracts are traded in unregulated markets between principals, the Trust also assumes a credit risk, the risk of loss from counter party non-performance.

For derivatives, risks arise from changes in the market value of the contracts. Theoretically, the Trust is exposed to a market risk equal to the value of futures and forward contracts purchased and unlimited liability on such contracts sold short.

Net trading results from derivatives for the periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, are reflected in the statements of operations and equal gains (losses) from trading less brokerage commissions. Such trading results reflect the net gain arising from the Trust’s speculative trading of futures contracts and forward contracts.

The notional amounts of open contracts at September 30, 2002, as disclosed in the Schedule of Investments, do not represent the Trust’s risk of loss due to market and credit risk, but rather represent the Trust’s extent of involvement in derivatives at the date of the statement of financial condition.

The Beneficial Owners bear the risk of loss only to the extent of the market value of their respective investments.

(6)  Financial Statement Preparation

The interim financial statements are unaudited but reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. These adjustments consist primarily of normal recurring accruals. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Trust for the year ended December 31, 2001, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 29, 2002, as part of its Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the fiscal year.

(7)  Financial Highlights

The following financial highlights show the Trust’s financial performance for the nine month period ended September 30, 2002. Total return is calculated as the change in the theoretical beneficial owner’s investment over the entire period. Total return is calculated based on the aggregate return of the Trust taken as a whole.

       Total return 28.08%
 
     
      Ratio to average net assets:    
             Net Income 26.64%  
     
             Expenses:    
                   Expenses 7.19%  
                   Incentive fees 5.50%
 
       Total expenses 12.69%
 

The net investment income and operating expenses ratios are computed based upon the weighted average net assets for the Trust for the nine month period ended September 30, 2002.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

Fiscal Quarter ended September 30, 2002

The Trust posted a gain of $6,258,138 or $14.82 per unit in the third quarter of 2002. As of September 30, 2002, the Trust has made 42.98% since inception.

The Trust was up throughout the quarter. On September 30, 2002, the JWH was managing 100% of the Trust’s assets. Approximately 30% of the assets were allocated to each of the JWH GlobalAnalytics® Family of Programs and the G-7 Currency Portfolio. Approximately 40% of the Trust’s assets were allocated to JWH’s Financial and Metals Portfolio.

The Trust began the quarter with strong performance in July despite extreme volatility in all market sectors. Interest rates were the highlight in July. The downward trend in global interest rates accelerated during July. Sizable gains were accrued in short-term interest rates denominated in British pounds and Euros. Long positions in the U.S. 5, 10 and 30 year bonds were also very profitable. The currency sector was slightly negative after having been the star performer in the second quarter. The Dollar’s weakness versus the British pound produced profits but could not offset losses absorbed in Japanese yen and Euro trading. Aided by accounting scandals and decreased consumer confidence, the world’s stock markets plunged, aiding the Trust’s short positions in the German and Japan stock indices. The Trust’s long positions in the metals sector were hurt when gold prices fell sharply but were rewarded when short positions in industrial metals such as copper and aluminum accrued profits. Dry weather triggered fears of a sharply reduced harvest. This aided the Trust’s long positions in the soybean and corn markets. Overall, the Trust recorded a gain of $3,095,470 or $7.33 per unit in July.

Profitable trading in the interest rate sector allowed the Trust to record a positive return in August. Fears of new accounting woes continued to erode consumer confidence in the U.S. and aided a bond market rally. As stocks sold off late in the month, the Trust’s long positions in the 5, 10, and 30 year U.S. bond markets appreciated significantly. Japanese government bond prices rose as well and were extremely profitable for the Trust. Long positions in Euro denominated bonds led the balance of the positive contributions in this sector. Performance in the currency sector continued to slip. The long-term downward trend of the U.S. dollar ceased and, in fact, moved in a slightly negative direction. The biggest loss was taken in the British pound where “choppy” markets created losses in both long and short positions. Speculation on a potential attack on Iraq pushed energy prices higher. Four of the five markets traded in the energy sector were profitable. However, a short position in natural gas was enough to negate much of the other energy markets gains. The stock index and metal sectors had little effect on the Trust’s performance. Overall, the Trust recorded a gain of $610,411 or $1.45 per unit in August.

The Trust posted positive performance for the fifth consecutive month in September. The U.S. economy continued to lead other industrialized nations in a global economic slowdown. Subsequently, interest rates denominated in Euros, British pounds, Australian dollars and most significantly, Japanese yen, continued to fall providing positive returns for the Trust. The most profitable markets in this sector were the US 10-year bond, German bund, and British treasury bill. The currency sector was the poorest performing sector in September. Gains made in long Euro / short Japanese yen positions were more then offset by losses absorbed in U.S. dollar trading. The global slowdown enhanced performance in the stock index sector. Short positions in the U.S., German and Japanese indices prospered. The energy markets were also positive as long positions in crude oil, natural gas and heating oil posted gains. Returns in the metal and agricultural sectors were negligible. Overall, the Trust recorded a gain of $2,552,257 or $6.04 per unit in September.

During the quarter there were 20,215.32 units sold to the beneficial owners for an investment of 2,809,734. Investors redeemed a total of 14,255.30 units during the quarter. At the end of the quarter, there were 422,248.43 units outstanding owned by the beneficial owners and 5,754.50 units outstanding owned by the Managing Owner.

During the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2002, the Trust had no material credit exposure to a counter-party which is a foreign commodity exchange or to any counter parties dealing in over the counter contracts.

Fiscal Quarter ended September 30, 2001

The Trust recorded a gain of $560,393 or $1.30 per unit in the third quarter of 2001. The Trust was up 2.50% for the first three quarters of 2001. As of September 30, 2001, the Trust gained 17.46% since inception.

After being down in July, the Trust was up in August and September. On September 30, 2001, JWH was managing 100% of the Trust’s assets. Approximately 30% of the assets were allocated to each of JWH’s Global Analytics® Family of Programs and G-7 Currency Portfolio. Approximately 40% of the Trust’s assets were allocated to JWH’s Financial and Metals Portfolio.

In July, the Trust endured negative performance as unclear economic signals made for erratic financial markets. In the interest rate sector, the Trust made money in the geographic areas. However, losses stemming from concerns about the financing of the growing debt in Japan reversed the long-term upward trend of that market and reduced open trade profits. Currency markets continued to challenge market participants. Long-term trends indicated strength in the U.S. dollar versus all other major currencies. However, in July, some currency markets “bounced” after reaching new lows against the U.S. dollar. This resulted in losses for the Trust’s positions in the industrial metal position. However, long positions in gold reduced this sector’s profitability. The Trust’s exposure in the commodity sector remained very small. Overall, the Trust recorded a loss of $2,119,277 or $4.95 per unit in July.

In August, the Trust enjoyed a positive month due to the continued slowing of the global economy. Reductions in the official lending rates of the United States and Euro denominated markets put downward pressure on interest rates throughout the month. Profits were accrued from various positions ranging from short-term Treasury bills to 30-year bonds. Interest rate trading was profitable in all geographic regions except Japan. The currency sector posted a positive result due to trading in European markets. Long positions in the Euro, Swiss franc, and British pound against the U.S. dollar and Yen were quite profitable. Despite being on the brink of economic disaster, the Yen gained value against the U.S. dollar, which reduced the overall gains of this sector. The Trust amassed small gains in the stock index sector area due to short positions in Japanese, German and British stock index futures. In the energy sector, gains in heating oil were offset by losses in all other energy markets. In metals, a rally in gold reversed abruptly and let to small losses in that sector. Gains in cotton were not enough for the commodity sector to post a gain. Overall, the Trust recorded a gain of $2,014,468 or $4.71 per unit in August.

The Trust stumbled early in September only to rally sharply and close the month positively. The continued economic slowdown coupled with “flight to quality” buying allowed the Trust’s interest rate sector to exhibit strong returns. The stock index sector was a strong positive contributor as global stock markets lost value. However, the currency sector experienced violent swings and ultimately closed lower. At the end of September, the Trust’s largest positions were long interest rates around the globe as well as short U.S. dollar versus the Yen, Euro, and Swiss franc. Slightly smaller positions were held in long gold as well as short British, Japanese and German stock indices.

On Tuesday, September 11, 2001, CIS Investments, Inc and Cargill Investor Services, Inc., the Trust’s Managing Owner and Clearing Broker respectively evacuated their Sears Tower location to operate out of their Disaster Recovery site in suburban Chicago. All daily functions related to the Trust, such as trade processing, accounting and monitoring of trading activity, were performed in a routine manner. On Wednesday, CISI and CIS resumed their normal operations from their Sears Tower location.

The Investment Policy Committee of JWH also met on September 11th in its Boca Raton office to review all of the trading positions on a market by market basis and the “stops” associated with each position. No material changes were made to any positions. The Committee decided to take a day by day approach going forward. The Trust recorded a gain of $665,202 or $1.54 per unit in September.

During the quarter there were 16,705.95 units sold to the Beneficial Owners for an investment of $1,936,588. Investors redeemed a total of 13,178.12 units during the quarter. At the end of the quarter there were 425,783.91 units outstanding owned by the Beneficial Owners and 5,754.50 units outstanding owned by the Managing Owner.

During the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2001, the Trust had no material credit exposure to a counter-party which is a foreign commodity exchange or to any counter parties dealing in over the counter contracts.

Fiscal Quarter ended June 30, 2002

The Trust posted a gain of $13,268,444 or $30.64 per unit in the second quarter of 2002. As of June 30, 2002, the Trust has made 28.16% since inception.

The Trust was up substantially in the quarter. On June 30, 2002, the JWH was managing 100% of the Trust’s assets. Approximately 30% of the assets were allocated to each of the JWH GlobalAnalytics® Family of Programs and the G-7 Currency Portfolio. Approximately 40% of the Trust’s assets were allocated to JWH’s Financial and Metals Portfolio.

The Trust began the quarter with slightly lower performance in April. Weakness in the U.S. dollar provided strong results in the currency sector. Profits were accrued in short Dollar positions against the Japanese yen, Swiss franc, British pound and Euro. The long Dollar, short Euro position was the Trust’s most profitable position in April. Performance in the interest rate sector was very disappointing. Short positions in Dollar and Euro denominated bond markets were closed out as losses. Our profitable long position in the Japanese government bond market offset most of the other losses incurred by interest rate trading. Turmoil in the Middle East lifted the energy market higher, providing small gains. The metals sector was slightly lower as gains in gold could not offset losses in copper, silver and aluminum. Overall, the Trust recorded a small loss of $129,119 or $0.29 per unit in April.

The currency sector paved the way for strong performance in May. The U.S. dollar continued to weaken against most major currencies; most notably were the Euro, the Japanese yen and the Swiss franc which provided strong profits. Trends in the currency markets were aided by the U.S. Treasury’s “stand aside” approach on the dollar policy and the Bank of Japan’s failed intervention attempts. The Australian dollar continued to rise as the currency linked to physical commodities, due to expectations of higher global inflation. The Trust’s long Euro versus short Japanese yen position was also profitable. The stock index sector registered modest gains during May, primarily due to the German DAX. The steepening U.S. yield curve allowed long positions in the two, five and ten-year bonds to accrue profits. However, performance in the 30-year bond contract was negative. The Japanese government bond provided the largest profit in the interest rate sector as it continued to climb. Losses were absorbed in the Australian and European interest rate markets. The metals sector was also positive for the month. Profits in long gold positions more than offset losses in industrial and base metals. All in all, the Trust recorded a gain of $3,756,934 or $8.56 per unit in May.

The JWH Global Trust followed May’s gain with an extremely positive June. The economic drivers that fueled the strong performance included a confluence of events influencing the currency sector, which was the strongest performing sector due to the recent weakness of the Dollar. The Euro gained approximately 15% on the Dollar for the year-to-date. Investors selling U.S. stocks due to fear of additional accounting abnormalities puts pressure on stocks as well as the Dollar. Much of the proceeds of these sales appear to be moving into non-Dollar investments along with global bonds and gold. The global bond market rallied as a result of money coming from sales of equities. This “flight to quality” helped the Trust’s long positions in the European, Japanese and U.S. bond markets to appreciate throughout the month. Short positions in the world’s stock markets via stock index futures were positive contributors in June. Corn and soybeans prices gained over 15% since lows were made in May. For June, the Trust recorded a gain of $9,640,629 or $22.37 per unit.

During the quarter there were 7,842.88 units sold to the beneficial owners for an investment of $834,593. Beneficial Owners redeemed a total of 28,505.53 units during the quarter. The Managing Owner redeemed a total of 0 units during the quarter. At the end of the quarter there were 416,299.40 units outstanding owned by the beneficial owners and 5,754.50 units outstanding owned by the Managing Owner.

During the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2002, the Trust had no material credit exposure to a counter-party which is a foreign commodity exchange or to any counter parties dealing in over the counter contracts.

Fiscal Quarter ended June 30, 2001

The Trust recorded a loss of $4,252,550 or $10.11 per unit in the second quarter of 2001. As of June 30, 2001, the Trust had gained 16.16% since inception.

On June 30, 2001, JWH was managing 100% of the Trust’s assets. Approximately 30% of the assets were allocated to each of JWH’s GlobalAnalytics® Family of Programs and G-7 Currency Portfolio. Approximately 40% of the Trust’s assets were allocated to JWH’s Financial and Metals Portfolio.

In April, the Trust suffered losses as the economy and the U.S. stock market demonstrated signs of rebounding. An unexpected discount rate cut in the U.S., coupled with a lack of an interest rate cut in Europe, caused trend reversals in both Euro and U.S. dollar denominated bond markets. These reversals were negative for the Trust. Long positions in the Japanese bond market, which had been maintained for several months, were closed out after similar price behavior. Trading in British, Swiss and Australian interest rates was also slightly negative. The currency sector experienced losses in April. The biggest loss came in the Yen, which was up against the U.S. dollar for the first month since August. The U.S. dollar fared slightly better against the Euro, Swiss franc and the British pound, but lost ground to each for the month. Gold rallied slightly off its low, which reduced open trade profits and led to a small loss in the metal sector. Petroleum prices continued trading in a volatile, sideways manner which accounted for a small loss in energy. Overall, the Trust recorded a loss of $3,683,039 or $8.79 per unit in April.

In May, short positions in the Euro proved to be very profitable for the Trust. The Euro continued to erode in value against the U.S. dollar as EU members reconsidered the need for a common currency. Trading in the interest rate sector was challenging. Despite rate cuts by both the Fed and the European Central Bank, many interest rate markets moved in a trendless manner which resulted in losses. Energy markets were indecisive in May. Gains in short natural gas positions were the most profitable while long crude oil positions incurred losses. As had been the case for several months, the Trust had very small positions in metal and commodity markets due to a lack of price trends. The Trust recorded a gain of $1,551,800 or $3.70 per unit in May.

In June, the Trust suffered losses in interest rate and currency trading primarily due to the uncertainty in the global economy. The interest rate sector experienced negative performance largely due to the volatility associated with the U.S. Federal Reserve’s rate cut. Markets failed to follow through after the cut, which led to losses in all U.S. dollar and Euro denominated interest rate trading. Australian interest rate trading was negative as well. The only bright spot in the interest rate sector came from the long positions in Japanese government bonds. The re-election of U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair added to an already confusing situation in the currency sector. The Euro and British pound closed the month about unchanged against the Dollar. However, the intra-month volatility in each of these markets triggered stop-loss selling. The Trust’s long Yen/short Euro position, which had been profitable in May, was closed due to weakness in the Yen. Losses in crude oil and gasoline trading more then offset gains made in short positions in natural gas. The Trust recorded a loss of $2,121,311 or $5.02 per unit in June.

During the quarter there were 23,428.07 units sold to the beneficial owners for an investment of $2,774,455. Investors redeemed a total of 14,501.65 units during the quarter. At the end of the quarter there were 422,256.08 units outstanding owned by the beneficial owners and 5,754.50 units outstanding owned by the Managing Owner.

During the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2001, the Trust had no material credit exposure to a counter-party which is a foreign commodity exchange or to any counter parties dealing in over the counter contracts.

Fiscal Quarter ended March 31, 2002

The Trust recorded a loss of 6,235,975 or $14.11 per unit in the first quarter of 2002. As of March 31, the Trust has lost 2.48% since its inception in June 1997.

All three months of the quarter were unprofitable for the Trust. On March 31, 2002, JWH was managing 100% of the Trust’s assets. Approximately 30% of the assets were allocated to each of the JWH GlobalAnalytics® Family of Programs and the G-7 Currency Portfolio. Approximately 40% of the Trust’s assets were allocated to JWH’s Financial and Metals Portfolio.

In January, performance was positive in the currency and energy sectors while interest rate, metal, stock index and commodity markets posted losses. The most significant gains came from the currency sector where the Japanese Yen continued to lose value. This was beneficial to Trust investors because the short Yen position was the largest in the portfolio. Trading in all other currency markets was negative. The Enron news created a “flight to quality” situation which led to higher U.S. and European bond prices. These news items and others ceased the selling activity in global bonds and caused losses in the Trust’s interest rate long positions. The energy sector posted a very small gain as short positions in natural gas exceeded losses taken in all other energy markets. Precious metals rallied sharply for the first time in months. Initially this was negative for the Trust. However, by month end, a long position was taken and the loss absorbed earlier in the month was lessened. Overall, the Trust recorded a loss of $793,776 or $1.79 per unit in January.

During February, fluctuating price patterns continued which led to a difficult month for the Trust. The key element in the Trust’s performance was the trend reversals in the Japanese financial markets. The Nikkei (stock index), Japanese government bonds and the Yen accounted for over one half of the losses in the portfolio. Losses in the currency sector also occurred in the British pound, Swiss franc and Euro. As earlier stated, trading in Japanese government bonds was negative as was trading in U.S. and Euro denominated bond markets. Performance in the energy sector was also unprofitable. Short positions in crude oil, natural gas and gasoline suffered as prices rose. Gold prices continued to rise, which allowed the metal sector to be positive in February.

During late February, CIS Securities, Inc. replaced CIS as JWH Global Trust’s Lead Selling Agent. This change will not have a material effect on the business of the Trust. The Trust recorded a loss of $2,702,058 or $6.13 per unit in February.

March was another disappointing month. Positive returns from the energy and interest rate sectors were overpowered by losses in the currency sector, specifically in the Yen where Japanese corporations spurred a rally when they actively repatriated Yen for year-end accounting purposes. This proved to be detrimental for the Trust’s short Yen position. The balance of interest rate trading amounted to additional losses. The energy and interest rate sectors each posted gains. Profits accrued in short positions in Euro denominated markets outweighed losses in Japanese bond markets. Nearly all markets in the metals sector were positive. However, gains were small due to small position sizes and small price changes. The Trust recorded a loss of $2,740,141 or $6.19 per unit in March.

During the quarter there were 17,137.84 units sold to the Beneficial Owners for an investment of $1,745,995. Beneficial Owners redeemed a total of 18,195.48 units during the quarter. The Managing Owner redeemed a total of 0 units during the quarter. At the end of the quarter there were 436,951.05 units outstanding owned by the Beneficial Owners and 5,754.50 units outstanding owned by the Managing Owner.

During the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2002, the Trust had no material credit exposure to a counter-party, which is a foreign commodity exchange, or to any counter parties dealing in over the counter contracts.

Fiscal Quarter ended March 31, 2001

The Trust recorded a gain of $4,900,063 or $11.68 per unit in the first quarter of 2001. As of March 31, the Trust had gained 26.27% since inception.

All three months of the quarter were profitable for the Trust. On March 31, 2001, JWH was managing 100% of the Trust’s assets. Approximately 30% of the assets were allocated to each of the JWH GlobalAnalytics® Family of Programs and the G-7 Currency Portfolio. Approximately 40% of the Trust’s assets were allocated to JWH’s Financial and Metals Portfolio.

In early January, the interest rate and currency sectors continued to accrue profits as they had in the fourth quarter of 2000. However, by midmonth, these markets began to consolidate and move against their long-term trends. The single most profitable position in the Trust’s portfolio was short Japanese yen. Long positions in the Euro and the U.S. dollar against the Yen offset losses in other currency markets. In the interest rate sector, the Trust’s long bond positions in various countries around the world remained the cornerstone of the portfolio. Smaller profits were produced in almost every geographic area with European markets leading the way. Crude and heating oil prices bounced about in a featureless pattern. The metal sector showed signs of breaking out of its prolonged down trend as silver, copper and aluminum rallied sharply. The Trust recorded a gain of $853,853 or $1.95 per unit in January.

During February, the Bank of Japan once again adopted a policy of reducing interest rates as Japan’s economic recovery stalled. This allowed the Trust’s long positions in Japanese bonds to greatly appreciate in value. Smaller gains were made in long positions in U.S., German, Great Britain, and Australian interest rates. Trading in European currencies was negative. Both the Euro and Swiss franc traded in erratic patterns for much of the month, which more than offset the gains made in the Yen. OPEC agreed to cut output by 1.5 million barrels a day in order to support prices. However, the slowing of global economies counteracted this decrease leading to an unprofitable trading environment for the Trust. By the end of the month, the Trust all but exited the energy sector. The Trust recorded a gain of $43,430 or $0.11 per unit in February.

In March, the Trust continued its positive performance. Despite a trend interruption late in the month, trading in the interest rate sector was positive in March with some geographic areas dramatically outperforming others. The Bank of Japan’s decision to stimulate Japan’s economy at all costs hastened the decline of Japanese interest rates which allowed the Trust’s long Japanese bond positions to be the most profitable in the portfolio. Gloomy growth outlooks for Europe and Great Britain directed the U.S. interest rates was negative. The currency sector, which had been up dramatically since September, continued its stellar performance in March. The unyielding strength of the U.S. dollar versus the Japanese yen was the cornerstone of the sector’s performance. The Yen lost approximately 8% to the U.S. dollar in March and approximately 17% since September 2000. Gains also accrued in long U.S. dollar positions against the Swiss franc and Australian dollar. Trading in the U.S. dollar versus the Euro was slightly negative. As had been the case for several months, position sizes in the commodity, metal, energy and stock index sectors were quite small due to lack of price trends. The Trust recorded a gain of $4,002,780 or $9.62 per unit in March.

During the quarter there were 13,100.23 units sold to the Beneficial Owners for an investment of $1,594,086. Beneficial Owners redeemed a total of 30,535.95 units during the quarter. The Managing Owner redeemed a total of 949.41 units during the quarter. At the end of the quarter there were 413,329.66 units outstanding owned by the beneficial owners and 5,754.50 units outstanding owned by the Managing Owner.

During the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2001, the Trust had no material credit exposure to a counter-party which is a foreign commodity exchange or to any counter parties dealing in over the counter contracts.
