Item 1.01.              Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 28, 2009, RJO Global Trust (the “Trust”) entered into an Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with NuWave Investment Management, LLC (“NuWave”) to add NuWave as a sixth commodity trading advisor to the Trust.  Pursuant to the Agreement, beginning on or about February 1, 2009, NuWave will begin trading assets for the Trust in accordance with its “Combined Futures Portfolio (2x)” trading program, to the extent described below.  The Trust will also pay NuWave an annual management fee of up to 2% of the net asset value of the Trust’s assets traded by NuWave, as well as an incentive fee of up to 20% of the new trading profit (as defined in the Agreement) generated by NuWave.  Any trading losses must be recovered before new trading profit can be earned.

The Agreement has an initial term of one year, which, unless previously terminated, will automatically renew for additional one-year periods until terminated in accordance with the Agreement.  NuWave may terminate the Agreement upon written notice sixty days prior to the expiration of any one-year period.  The Trust and R.J. O’Brien Fund Management, LLC (the “Managing Owner”) are entitled to terminate the Agreement at any month-end upon five days’ prior written notice to NuWave or at any time upon the occurrence of certain events (as specified in the Agreement).  NuWave is also entitled to terminate the Agreement at any time upon thirty days’ written notice to the Trust and Managing Owner if certain other events occur (as specified in the Agreement).
