Trading Program
 
    Conquest provides trading advisory services to customers with respect to futures interest contracts across geographic centers and across assets classes.  As of the date of this prospectus supplement, Conquest offers its clients four trading programs.  Conquest’s “Macro” trading program is utilized in Conquest’s management of assets on behalf of the Trust.
 
Macro Trading Program Methodology
 
    Conquest’s Macro trading program is designed to create a combination of an absolute return portfolio and a portfolio hedge product.  Conquest’s Macro strategy is primarily a short-term trading strategy with a trend-following bias that concentrates on many of the markets that would react strongly to national or global systemic shocks, such as September 11, 2001.  Conquest’s Macro trading program currently trades in 31 markets, including: currency pairs, fixed-income, stock indices, energies, and metals.  New positions are based on total portfolio equity.
 
Implementation of Trading Programs
 
    Conquest uses quantitative models to ensure disciplined investment decisions.  The Macro trading program uses several trading strategies that take advantage of trends that occur in different time frames, and that work independently of the other strategies.  The first strategy exploits short-term price/time/volatility relationships present in fixed income, foreign exchange, energy, metal, and stock index markets.  The second strategy looks to capture market movements that constitute a short-term trend.  The third strategy makes use of counter-trend opportunities within longer-term trends, for example, by entering the market when trends are reversing abruptly.
 
    Conquest’s Macro trading program is 90% systematic and 10% discretionary.  The systematic component reduces the amount of manual work required to identify trade entry and exit levels.  Conquest applies its research efforts toward improving its trading systems.  Conquest’s portfolio manager applies his discretion by adjusting the composition of the portfolio and identifying major opportunities in the markets rather than on a trade-by-trade basis.
 
Portfolio and Risk Management
 
    Conquest sets its trade size on a security inversely proportional to the level of recent volatility of the security.  Each new position for a market is sized by calculating the number of contracts that would provide the desired dollar volatility for that market for that system.  Conquest uses price volatility instead of return volatility in its calculations and does not implement pyramiding, scaling out of positions, and other methods of trading the equity curve as part of its portfolio management rules.
 
    Conquest applies a disciplined risk control methods to its Macro trading program, which are incorporated in the stop-loss and position size calculation for Conquest systems.  Conquest selects the level of exposure for the Macro program so that the maximum hypothetical drawdown is below acceptable real-time drawdown levels.  Conquest
3


selects from the following risk measures: price volatility of positions at the time of entry, maximum per trade risk from entry to stop, maximum per trade risk from closing price to stop, portfolio maximum daily loss, portfolio maximum consecutive daily drawdown, standard deviation of portfolio daily returns, slippage as percentage of return, and liquidity.
 
    Conquest’s trading programs have volatility-based stops for positions in the market.  Position sizes are based on price volatility to equalize risk at the trade initiation time for all markets within each trading program.

    Haar Capital Management, LLC (“Haar”), is a Delaware limited liability company engaged in the business of providing trading advisory services to customers with respect to futures contracts, forward contracts, and other futures-related interests (collectively, “futures interest contracts”) on United States and foreign exchanges and markets.  Haar managed accounts for trading in futures interest contracts on a discretionary basis and its trading methodologies are speculative in nature.

    Haar has one principal, Stanley Haar, who has been the sole Member and President of Haar since its inception.
 
Principals
 
Stanley P. Haar formed Haar Capital Management LLC on August 1, 2005, after resigning from his position as a financial consultant at Smith Barney (Citigroup), a global financial services firm, where he had been employed since May 2002.  Mr. Haar has been registered as an associated person and member of the NFA and listed as a principal of Haar Capital Management, LLC since September 21, 2005.  Mr. Haar was registered from February 11, 2003 to August 1, 2005 as an associated person of Citigroup Capital Markets, a broker dealer and futures commission merchant providing securities and futures brokerage services.  At Citigroup Capital Markets Mr. Haar focused on providing commodity trading advice to retail futures clients.  Before joining Smith Barney, Mr. Haar spent three months (February 2002-May 2002) focused on proprietary commodity trading and investments, during which time he was not employed.  From November 1997 to February 2002, Mr. Haar was manager of international business development for Franklin Templeton Investments, a global investment money management organization.  He provided legal, administrative and marketing support for the successful start-up of Bradesco Templeton Asset Management Ltda., a joint venture money management firm with one of Brazil’s largest banks.  Mr. Haar also served on the investment committee of the Fundo Bradesco Templeton de Valor e Liquidez, a corporate governance equity fund, with portfolio management responsibility for the agribusiness and textile holdings in the fund.  From June 1996 to October 1997, Mr. Haar was vice president of Camas International, an agricultural technology company located in Pocatello, Idaho.  From July 1993 to June 1996, he was employed as an agribusiness and marketing consultant for Olivia Foods, Peaceworks LLC and other Israeli clients.  From September 1989 to June 1993, Mr. Haar was a graduate student at Stanford University.  Earlier in his career, Mr. Haar spent a total of 8 years with Continental Grain Company (from June 1977 to October 1980 and from November 1984 to August 1989), a commodity trading corporation, holding various trading and management positions in the United States and Latin America.  For three years, from February 1986 through August 1989, he was the commercial director of Brazilian operations, with trading and risk management responsibilities for a soybean processing plant, country elevator network, vegetable oil refinery, feed mill, integrated poultry division, and grain export terminals.  Mr. Haar also worked as an associated person from November 1980 to June 1982 for Shearson/American Express a registered futures commissions merchant, and from June 1982 to December 1983 for Ace America, Inc., a registered futures commission merchant and from December 1983 to October 1984 at Prudential Equity Group, LLC, a futures commission merchant providing retail futures and options trading services.  At all three firms, Mr. Haar was involved in commodity futures trading and providing brokerage services to retail clients.  Mr. Haar received a BA degree in Economics and International Studies from the School of International Service at American University (1971).  He earned his degree in two calendar years with the highest GPA in university history, and was awarded a National Science Foundation Fellowship for graduate study in economics.  In 1971-72, Mr. Haar was a Fulbright Scholar in Brazil, where his research focused on the International Coffee Agreement.  Mr. Haar holds three graduate degrees from Stanford University: MBA (1977) from the Graduate School of Business, MA (1990) from the Food Research Institute (concentration in futures markets and international trade), and JD (1993) from Stanford Law School.  He has written articles on futures markets and international investments for publications such as Commodities Magazine and the Global Finance Journal.  In addition to managing Haar Capital, Mr. Haar spends approximately five hours per week serving as a consultant to Gould Asset Management, LLC, a registered investment advisor based in Claremont, California.  Gould Asset Management, LLC manages equity and fixed income portfolios and does not engage in futures trading.
 
    Haar and its principal, Mr. Haar, may, from time to time, trade futures, forwards, and options contracts and securities for their own proprietary accounts.  Such trades may or may not be in accordance with the Haar trading program described below.  It is possible that Haar and/or its principals may from time to time be inadvertently
6


competing with the Trust for similar futures interest contract positions in one or more markets or may take positions in their proprietary accounts which are opposite the positions taken for the Trust.  Haar will permit its investors to see records relating to the performance of accounts and allocations of orders among Haar’s various clients and even proprietary trading results, while maintaining required confidentiality of its investors.
 
    Haar and Mr. Haar do not have a beneficial or ownership interest in the Trust.
 
    There have been no material administrative, civil or criminal proceedings against Haar or Mr. Haar, that are pending, are on appeal or have concluded at any time since inception.
 
Trading Program
 
    Haar is engaged in the business of providing trading advisory services to customers with respect to futures contracts, forward contracts, and other futures-related interests (collectively, “futures interest contracts”) on United States and foreign exchanges and markets.  As of the date of this prospectus supplement, Haar offers its clients three trading programs.  Haar’s “Discretionary Commodity Trading Program” is utilized in Haar’s management of assets on behalf of the Trust.
 
Discretionary Commodity Trading Program Methodology
 
    Haar’s Discretionary Commodity Trading Program is designed to achieve the capital appreciation of its client’s assets through the speculation in financial and commodity futures and options contracts in market sectors including, without limitation, currencies, metals, financials, energies, softs, livestock, grains, and equity indices.  In managing the accounts of customers, the Discretionary Commodity Trading Program uses a primarily fundamental strategy although technical analysis may also be employed to help determine specific entry and exit points and the placement of stop-loss orders. Haar believes that commodity price changes occur due to changing fundamental factors; Haar seeks to achieve profit from longer-term trends that develop due to those changing factors. Among the fundamental factors to be analyzed will be product supply and demand outlook, projected carryout stocks as a percentage of consumption, weather developments and forecasts, economic trends, and government policies. Based on its experience in managing commercial and speculative trading positions, and recognizing that future states of the world cannot be known with certainty, the advisor seeks to identify skewed risk-reward opportunities; i.e., situations in which the probability of a large gain is seen as being approximately equal to the probability of a small loss. Haar may refrain from trading most markets at any given time, based on its assessment of neutral or unattractive risk-reward conditions. In addition to outright long and short positions, trading strategies may include inter and intra-market spread positions and the use of commodity options.  
 
    Haar, at its discretion and according to its research, may add to or delete from the markets traded in each portfolio.  The actual portfolio balance and number of markets traded may depend, in part, on the size of the Trust’s account.
 
Implementation of Trading Programs
 
    The trading strategies utilized by Haar may be revised from time to time by Haar as a result of ongoing research and development, which seeks to devise new trading strategies, as well as test methods currently employed. The trading strategies used by Haar in the future may differ significantly from those presently used, due to the changes, which may result from this research. Unitholders will not be informed of these changes as they may occur.  In addition, Haar may refine or change the implementation of its strategy (including but not limited to technical factors, markets traded and or money management principles) without prior notice to or approval by Unitholders. There can be no assurance that Haar’s approach to trading will yield the same results as it has in the past.
 
Risk Management
 
    Haar utilizes certain risk management tools, including stop-loss orders and portfolio diversification.  Haar also manages risk by varying the size of positions based in part on an assessment of market volatility.  To manage these risks, Haar evaluates the volatility and correlation across multiple markets, as well as projected price behavior in response to specific market-moving events, consistent with managing longer-term risks and evaluating longer-term trends.  No assurances can be made, however, that the historical market correlations will occur or persist in all market conditions.

*Drawdown is the largest percentage decline experienced in the relevant program on a composite basis over a specified period of time.
 
**Monthly returns in the table above are presented net of 1% management and 20% quarterly incentive fee, which fees are the average rates for all the accounts traded by Haar.  Additionally, some fully-funded accounts may have less than Haar’s minimum units size for trading purposes and may experience a higher or lower monthly rate of return as compared to the composite.  The above table was prepared on the basis of the nominal account size method from December 17, 2005 to May 31, 2009 based on actual client account trading results.
 
***Annual compounded rate of return is computed using a hypothetical $1,000 Investment Index, which illustrates how a theoretical $1,000 investment, if left untouched, would have appreciated or depreciated during the entire year.  Since the performance table is the combination of many separate accounts, this is a theoretical figure and should not be taken as indicative of any results that an account may have in the future.  The year-to-date rate of return is the ending $1,000 Index minus $1,000 and divided by $1,000.

The following paragraph under the heading “The Foreign Currency Broker” contained on page 67 of the Prospectus is hereby deleted and replaced with the following: 
 
Effective July 1, 2009, Marex International Ltd. will replace Deutschebank as the trust's prime broker and will act as counterparty for spot and forward currency trades.  Under most normal circumstances, a trading advisor will contact at least two counterparties for a quote on each of the trust’s currency trades. 
 
The following paragraph under the heading “The terms of this offering were not subject to independent due diligence” contained on page 70 of the Prospectus is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:
 
The terms of this offering were not subject to independent due diligence.
The trust and the lead selling agent are represented by a single counsel.  Therefore, the terms of this offering relating to those parties were not negotiated at arm’s-length.  The managing owner is represented by its own counsel (i.e., not the counsel that represents the trust and the lead selling agent).  In addition, no independent due diligence has been conducted with respect to this offering.

The hypothetical performance information contained on pages 110 through 112 of the Prospectus is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:
 
HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
 
The composite performance information on the following page represents the hypothetical performance of the Trust as if each of the six trading advisors listed on page 1 of this supplement had traded the assets on behalf of the Trust over the period from April 1, 2007 through May 31, 2009, which is the period during which all six of the trading programs currently being used by the Trust were in existence.  The calculations were made based on performance information provided by each of the six trading advisors on actual accounts traded, net of all applicable fees, and were further reduced by brokerage commissions and management fees (for the purpose of calculating the hypothetical performance information and to better approximate the Trust fees, a fee of 4% per annum was charged against the net performance of each trading advisor).  The actual management fees and performance fees to be paid by the Trust may differ from the fees paid by the account information provided by each trading advisor and used to calculate this hypothetical composite performance information.  All distributions of profits were assumed to be reinvested.  The performance information provided by the trading advisors was not independently verified by the managing owner and may reflect the use by the trading advisor of notional funds in the calculation of the trading advisor’s performance.  The initial allocation made to each trading advisor for purposes of calculating the hypothetical performance information was equally divided among each trading advisor and was rebalanced quarterly.  This hypothetical performance information was calculated in accordance with CFTC and NFA rules.
 
HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW.  NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN.  IN FACT, THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED BY ANY PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM.
 
ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT.  IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK IN ACTUAL TRADING.  FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.  THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO THE MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL OF WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.
 
THIS COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE RECORD IS HYPOTHETICAL AND THESE TRADING ADVISORS HAVE NOT TRADED TOGETHER IN THE MANNER SHOWN IN THE COMPOSITE.  HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW.  NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY MULTI-ADVISOR MANAGED ACCOUNT OR POOL WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE A COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE RECORD SIMILAR TO THAT SHOWN.  IN FACT, THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN A HYPOTHETICAL COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE RECORD AND THE ACTUAL RECORD SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED.
 
ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF A HYPOTHETICAL COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE RECORD IS THAT DECISIONS RELATING TO THE SELECTION OF TRADING ADVISORS AND THE ALLOCATION OF ASSETS AMONG THOSE TRADING ADVISORS WERE MADE WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT BASED UPON THE HISTORICAL RATES OF RETURN OF THE SELECTED TRADING ADVISORS.  THEREFORE, COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE RECORDS INVARIABLY SHOW POSITIVE RATES OF RETURN.  ANOTHER INHERENT LIMITATION ON THESE RESULTS IS THAT THE ALLOCATION DECISIONS REFLECTED IN THE PERFORMANCE RECORDS WERE NOT MADE UNDER ACTUAL MARKET CONDITIONS AND, THEREFORE, CANNOT COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK IN ACTUAL TRADING.  FURTHERMORE, THE COMPOSIE PERFORMANCE RECORD MAY BE DISTORTED BECAUSE THE ALLOCATION OF ASSETS CHANGES FROM TIME TO TIME AND THESE ADJUSTMENTS ARE NOT REFLECTED IN THE COMPOSITE.
