(1) 
The breakeven analysis assumes that the units have a constant month-end net asset value and assumes a $5,000 investment.
 
(2) 
The brokerage fee ranges from an annual rate of 4.65% to 5.0% of the trusts’ month-end net assets for Class A units and 2.65% to 3.0% for Class B units.  For purposes of calculating the break-even point, the highest possible brokerage fee rate was used for each class of units.
 
(3) 
For purposes of calculating the breakeven amount, the highest possible management fee, equal to 2.0% of the net assets on an annual basis, has been used.
 
(4) 
Incentive fees are paid to trading advisors only on new trading profits earned by the trading advisor on the portion of the trust’s net assets that it manages.  New trading profits are determined after deducting advisor management fees and the brokerage fee and do not include interest income.  Therefore, incentive fees will be zero at the breakeven point on the assets managed by the trading advisors.
 
(5) 
As of December 31, 2009, the trust is paid interest on the average daily U.S. dollar balances on deposit with R.J. O’Brien & Associates, LLC at a rate equal to 80% of the average four-week Treasury Bill rate; the remaining 20% of the average four-week Treasury Bill rate is retained by R.J. O’Brien & Associates, LLC.  With respect to non-U.S. dollar deposits, the current rate of interest is equal to a rate of one-month LIBOR less 100 basis points.  Any amounts received by R.J. O’Brien & Associates, LLC in excess of amounts paid to the trust are retained by R.J. O’Brien & Associates, LLC.  The rate of interest used for this calculation was 0.56%, which represents 9-month average rate of interest received.
 
(6) 
A redeeming unitholder pays redemption charges equal to 1.5% of the redemption proceeds to R.J. O’Brien Fund Management, LLC through the end of the eleventh month after the redeemed unit was purchased.  Redemption charges, if applicable, reduce the redemption proceeds otherwise payable to investors.

(3) Monthly Rate of Return is the net performance of the trust during a month (including interest income at an estimated rate of 0.56%) divided by the total equity of the trust as of the beginning of the month.  Performance information is calculated on an accrual basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Neither GAJL nor its principals have any beneficial or ownership interest in the Trust.
 
Legal Concerns
 
There have been no material administrative, civil, or criminal proceedings against GAJL or any of its principals, which are pending, are on appeal or have concluded at any time during the last five years.

Trading Program

The following description of GAJL, its trading systems, methods, models, and strategies is general and not intended to be exhaustive.  Additionally, the following description of GAJL’s trading strategy relates to GAJL generally and not to the trust itself.

Approximately 5% to 10% of the trust’s assets traded by GAJL are committed as margin (this percentage will vary from month to month and can be significantly higher or lower than indicated).

Objective

The objective of GAJL’s Commodity Systematic Program (“the Program”) is to seek profits from commodity interest transactions while taking reasonable steps to protect capital relative to the rates of return sought.  No assurance can be given that this objective will be met, and an investment in the offered program should only be considered by investors that can assume the significant risks associated with commodity interest trading, including the loss of their entire investment.  GAJL attempts to accomplish this objective by following the trading methods set forth below.

Trade Selection

GAJL operates a fully automated and systematic quantitative trade and portfolio management tool that has been developed for the commodity futures markets.  This tool has been designed to run as a low volatility, low draw-down system that provides diversification across a wide range of instruments, including inter- and intra-commodity spreads.  It trades infrequently and incrementally with the aim of reducing the effects of transaction costs and to increase capacity within its markets.

GAJL will use the systematic tool described above to manage the Program’s relative exposure to the commodity markets.  The system is comprised of three parts:

 
·
The first part processes the data and then extracts those features relevant to the trading system, discarding noise in an adaptive and novel manner.

 
·
The second part then takes this feature set and applies the trade models, outputting a set of positions and stops across the commodity portfolio.
     
 
·
The third and final part of the system comprises the portfolio overlay.

Money Management

GAJL and its principals believe that money management discipline is a vital element of any trading program.  This discipline is comprised of the following major components which are utilized in the Program:

 
1.
Diversification

GAJL trades primarily U.S. exchange-traded commodity futures and options on futures contracts, and may trade on any United States and non-United States exchange that has been designated as a “contract market” by the CFTC and on certain other non-United States exchanges.  “Commodity interests” include, but are not limited to, contracts on and for physical commodities, currencies, money market instruments and items which are now, or may hereafter be, the subject of trading futures contracts, swaps, and other commodity-related contracts.  GAJL may also trade the cash and forward markets, including the interbank market and exchange of futures for physicals (“EFPs”) for its client accounts.
 
The trading strategy is designed to gain exposure to opportunities in the majority of actively traded market groups, while simultaneously limiting, to the extent possible, the exposure in any one particular group.  The intent of this policy is to increase, on a systematic basis, opportunities for gain, decrease risk, and provide more consistent returns.  Especially in view of the above, there may be times, due to market and other conditions, when trading is not well diversified; in fact, on occasion, there may be a heavy concentration of a given commodity (such as Brent crude) or a commodity complex (such as energies) which could result in a greater return or risk to the account.

 
2.
Risk Management

GAJL estimates that for the program, which targets 10% annualized volatility, approximately 5%-10% of a client account’s net asset value on both an intraday and overnight basis will be committed to margin at any one time.  However, margin usage may, from time to time, be greater or less than this range, depending on market conditions, current margin requirements and changes in account equity.

 
3.
Client Rebalancing

GAJL seeks to ensure that market risk and return are appropriately balanced across clients in proportion to each client’s account equity.  GAJL regularly balances clients’ exposure to net position in each futures contract, or option on futures contract accordingly.

Trades are allocated during the month on a ticket-by-ticket basis according to volume and price sequence parameters determined near the beginning of the month with client account equities.  As the program’s net contract positions are added to or reduced, each client’s exposure to the Program’s net position in a contract under this method may not exactly equal its proportionate level of risk as represented by its account equity.  To correct these risk imbalances, at its discretion GAJL makes trades on a regular basis which rebalance client account risks to what they should be given each client’s account equity.  GAJL may simultaneously reduce a position for one client while adding to a position for another client at prevailing market prices to adjust each client’s risk to its appropriate level given their account size as a proportion of the Program’s overall assets under management.  Discretion includes employing knowledge of a contract’s volatility and the size of the necessary rebalancing trades, and balancing that need with the desire to minimize slippage and commissions for clients.  Near the beginning of each month, GAJL rebalances each client account to reflect their proportion of the net equity in the Program.

Modification

GAJL does not intend to alter its primary reliance on a combination of outside source data in conjunction with internally developed proprietary trading systems that evaluate technical and fundamental indicators deemed relevant by GAJL to evaluate trading opportunities.  However, GAJL reserves the right to make minor adjustments to its risk management and other trading policies. GAJL Commodity Systematic Past Performance

You are cautioned that the information set forth in the following capsule summary is not necessarily indicative of, and may have no bearing on, any trading results that may be attained by GAJL or the trust in the future, since past results are no guarantee of futures results.  There can be no assurances that GAJL or the trust will make any profits at all, or will be able to avoid incurring substantial losses.  You should also note that interest income may constitute a significant portion of a commodity pool’s total income, and in certain circumstances, may generate profits where there have been realized or unrealized losses from commodity trading.  A portion of the trust’s assets are allocated to the GAJL Commodity Systematic program.

The information set forth in the tables below has not been audited; however, GAJL believes that this information is accurate and fairly represented.

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 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.

Conquest Macro Past Performance

You are cautioned that the information set forth in the following capsule summary is not necessarily indicative of, and may have no bearing on, any trading results that may be attained by Conquest or the Trust in the future, since past results are no guarantee of future results.  There can be no assurances that Conquest or the Trust will make any profits at all, or will be able to avoid incurring substantial losses.  You should also note that interest income may constitute a significant portion of a commodity pool’s total income, and in certain circumstances, may generate profits where there have been realized or unrealized losses from commodity trading.  A portion of the Trust’s assets are allocated to the Conquest Macro trading program.

Information about Haar Capital Management, LLC

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 been registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) as a commodity trading advisor and has been a member of the National Futures Association (“NFA”) since September 21, 2005.
 
Haar has one principal, Stanley Haar, who has been the sole Member and President of Haar since its inception.  Mr. Haar is responsible for making trading decisions for Haar.

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 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.

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.

Haar Discretionary Commodity Trading Program Past Performance

You are cautioned that the information set forth in the following capsule summary is not necessarily indicative of, and may have no bearing on, any trading results that may be attained by Haar or the Trust in the future, since past results are no guarantee of future results.  There can be no assurances that Haar or the Trust will make any profits at all, or will be able to avoid incurring substantial losses.  You should also note that interest income may constitute a significant portion of a commodity pool’s total income, and in certain circumstances, may generate profits where there have been realized or unrealized losses from commodity trading.  A portion of the Trust’s assets are allocated to the Haar Discretionary Commodity Trading Program.

***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.

PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS

The Statement of Additional information contained on pages 86 through 109 of the Prospectus is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
 
Managed Futures Funds in General
 
The trust is one type of managed futures fund.  These types of investments products offer, in varying degrees, the possibility of achieving substantial capital appreciation as well as diversifying a portion of a traditional portfolio. Managed futures funds may also incur substantial losses.  The purpose of this section is to provide prospective investors a general overview of where the trust is positioned in the spectrum of managed futures funds.
 
Managed Futures Funds
 
A managed futures fund is a professionally managed portfolio typically trading in a wide range of markets through futures, forwards and options contracts.  These markets may include global currencies, interest rates, energy, stock indices, metals and agricultural commodities.  Managed futures funds may trade either or both the short or long side of the market, often on a 24-hour basis, and are generally riskier and have more volatile performance than many other traditional investments.  However, managed futures investments offer a unique return pattern when compared to traditional long-only equity or fixed income investments.  As a result, professional management can be an important advantage in this highly complex and specialized investment area.
 
Not all managed futures funds are the same.  Like other investment products, managed futures funds are designed with a variety of risk/reward parameters.  The variety of available managed futures funds matches a wide range of individual investment objectives.
 
The Different Types of Managed Futures Funds
 
Risk/reward parameters of a managed futures fund may be modified by adjusting the number of trading advisors, trading strategies and/or markets traded.  The increase of diversification in one or more of these categories is generally expected to produce lower but more consistent returns.
 
Certain managed futures funds are more aggressive than others.  For example, single advisor, single strategy funds are typically expected to have higher profit potential as well as risk because of their dependence upon just one advisor’s performance and, in many cases, a limited number of markets traded.  The returns in these types of managed futures funds often fluctuate significantly from month to month.
 
The performance volatility of single advisor funds may be reduced by a multi-advisor approach.  Multi-advisor funds typically have lower returns, but also lower risk and volatility than single-advisor managed futures funds (although more risk and volatility than many other investments).  The trust is a multi-advisor, multi-strategy investment.
 
Managed Futures and the Asset Allocation Process
 
The primary objective of an asset allocation process is to diversify a portfolio into a variety of investment components.  Each investment component may respond differently to economic cycles and shifts in the financial markets.  Thus, each investment component contributes differently to a portfolio’s overall performance.
 
A traditional investment portfolio is invested in stocks, bonds and cash equivalents.  Adding “non-traditional” or “alternative” investments, such as managed futures, to a traditional portfolio can be beneficial in the asset allocation process.  Because of its potential non-correlation with the performance of stocks and bonds, the non-traditional component can, if it outperforms either stocks or bonds, improve long-term returns and can also help to reduce volatility of a portfolio.
 
Prospective investors should carefully evaluate managed futures, weighing its return and diversification potential against the risks, before investing.  Managed futures are speculative investments and are not appropriate for everyone.  There can be no assurance that these investments will be profitable or will avoid losses.
 
Growth in Futures Investments
 
There has been a dramatic increase over the past twenty-five years in the volume of futures contracts traded in general as well as the amount of assets invested in the managed futures industry.

 
- 25 -

 
 
The first chart below, “Futures Volume by Market Sector”, depicts the increased volume of futures contracts traded by market sector from 1980 to 2008.  The second chart on the next page, “Growth in Managed Futures Industry”, illustrates the substantial increase in the amount of assets invested in managed futures.  In 1980, the amount of assets in the managed futures industry was estimated at approximately $300 million; by December 31, 2008, this estimate was approximately $206 billion.
 
Futures Volume by Market Sector

The futures volume figures and market sector distributions presented above include both speculative and hedging transactions, as well as options on futures.  A significant portion of currency trading is done in the forward rather than in the futures markets, and, accordingly, is not reflected in the foregoing chart.

Growth in Managed Futures Industry
 

The assets categorized above as invested in managed futures are invested in a wide range of different products, including single-advisor and multi-advisor funds, “funds of funds,” “principal protection” pools (in which only a fraction of the assets invested are committed to trading) and to individual managed accounts.
 
The Role of Managed Futures in Your Portfolio
 
The managing owner’s objective in sponsoring the trust on a multi-advisor platform is to offer an investment which has the potential of achieving substantial capital appreciation over time to those investors whose risk tolerance levels can accept significant risk and expected volatility in performance.  If substantial losses can be avoided, of which there can be no assurance, the managing owner believes that the trust has a reasonable opportunity to generate significant profits over time, despite exhibiting considerable intra-period volatility, by capitalizing on major price movements when they do occur.  If successful, the trust offers investors the following potential advantages.
 
Access to the Trading Advisors and the Trading Programs
 
By investing in the trust, subscribers have the opportunity to place assets with multiple experienced managed futures advisors.
 
Investment Diversification
 
The globalization of the world’s economy offers potentially valuable trading opportunities, as major political and economic events continue to influence world markets, at times dramatically.  In recent years, the futures markets have expanded to include a wide array of innovative products to capture potential profit opportunities that arise from volatility in interest rates, significant fluctuations in the value of commodities and currencies, the consolidation of European currencies, fragility in world banking and credit mechanisms and the growing interdependence among national economies.  Moreover, trading on the major exchanges in Chicago, Frankfurt, London, New York, Paris, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo has expanded and gives managed futures investors access to international markets and global diversification.

 
- 27 -

 
 
Unlike a traditional diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds and real estate, the profit potential of the trust does not depend upon favorable general economic conditions and the trust is as likely to be profitable (or unprofitable) during periods of declining stock, bond and real estate markets as at any other time.  In addition to the expected non-correlation in its performance with the performance of the general equity and debt markets, the trust’s flexibility to take either long or short positions, as opposed to traditional portfolios which are typically heavily weighted towards the former, can be an important advantage in times of economic uncertainty.
 
An investor who is not prepared to spend substantial time trading in the futures and forward markets may nevertheless participate in the commodities and financial markets through investing in the trust, thereby obtaining potentially valuable diversification from traditional investments such as a diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds and real estate.  By allocating a portion of the risk segment of a traditional diversified portfolio to the trust, an investor has the potential, if the trust is successful, to enhance the prospects for superior performance of the overall portfolio as well as to reduce the volatility of the portfolio over time and the dependence of such portfolio on any single country’s economy.
 
Opportunity to Profit in Declining as Well as in Rising Markets

The futures markets offer the ability to trade either side of the market.  Unlike short selling in the securities markets, taking short positions in the futures market (or buying a put option or selling a call option) in anticipation of a drop in price can be accomplished without additional restrictions or special margin requirements.  Selling short in the futures markets is no more difficult than establishing a long position.
 
The profit and loss potential of futures trading is not dependent upon economic prosperity or interest rate or currency stability.  Positive and negative returns may be realized in both rising and declining markets.  It is potentially advantageous for investors to own assets which can appreciate during a period of generally declining prices, financial disruption or economic instability.  Investors must realize, however, that the trust is not specifically designed to appreciate in declining markets.  Rather, it is designed to perform independent of the direction of stocks and bonds and the general economy.
 
Non-Correlation
 
Managed futures investments have often performed differently from stocks and bonds.  In addition, different types of alternative investments are frequently non-correlated with each other.  This creates the potential to assemble a combination of alternative investments with the potential to profit in different economic cycles and international markets, while reducing the portfolio concentration of traditional long equity and debt holdings.
 
Statistically, investments with a correlation of 1.00 make or lose money at the same time.  Investments with a correlation of –1.00 always move in the opposite direction.  The following charts illustrate correlations across investment styles and during certain market conditions.  There can be no assurance, however, that these patterns of correlation will continue in the future.
 
The low correlation between various styles of managed futures adds to the strength of the asset class as a source of diversification to a broader portfolio.
 
The correlation table below shows the correlations between various managed futures trading styles, “Long Short Equity” trading style, and the S&P 500®.

Note About the Following Correlation Analysis
 
The trust is an actively managed portfolio of futures and forward contracts and related options that pays the fees and expenses described in this prospectus.  The foregoing analysis of the trust’s performance in comparison to the market’s references indices that are unmanaged indices commonly used as benchmarks for investments similar to the trust’s, and investors are not able to invest in such indices.  The performance of the indices does not reflect any fees or transaction costs as these expenses do not apply to market indices.  Neither the performance of the trust nor the market indices have been adjusted to reflect any taxes applicable to an investor in the trust or in the investment products that track markets indices.
 
Non-Correlation Analysis
 
As described on pages 25-27 above, managed futures investments have often performed differently from stocks, bonds and other types of alternative investments.  This creates the potential to assemble a combination of alternative investments with the potential to profit in different economic cycles and international markets, while reducing the portfolio concentration of traditional long equity and debt holdings.
 
The following charts illustrate the correlation of returns of a diversified portfolio of U.S. stocks, represented by the S&P 500Ò Stock Index, to a number of alternative investment strategies, represented by the indices in the charts.  The first chart shows performance correlations during the nine months of positive performance for the S&P 500Ò during the period presented.  The second chart shows performance correlations during the fourteen months of negative performance for the S&P 500Ò during the period presented.  These charts demonstrate that based on the actual performance of the trust, the correlation of returns of the trust to the returns of stocks and various alternative investment choices in both up and down markets for the broader stock market is low.  There can be no assurance, however, that these non-correlated patterns will continue in the future.

Futures Markets and Trading Methods
 
The Futures and Forward Markets
 
The Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000 (“CFMA”) became effective in December 2000 and substantially amended various laws relating to the trading of futures and derivatives contracts.  New regulations regarding the trading of futures contracts have been enacted and more are expected.  Although the new regulations have not had a significant impact on the markets traded by the trust, it is impossible to predict how such regulations may impact the trading activities of the trust.  The following discussion describes traditional futures trading and briefly describes the characteristics of new exchanges permitted by the CFMA.
 
Futures and Forward Contracts
 
Futures contracts normally have standardized terms, such as size and delivery month, and call for the future delivery of various commodities.  These contractual obligations may be satisfied either by taking or making physical delivery or by making an offsetting sale or purchase of a futures contract.
 
Prior to the enactment of the CFMA, futures contracts could only be traded on exchanges that were designated as “contract markets” by the CFTC.  The CFMA permits certain futures contracts between sophisticated parties to be traded “off exchange.”  The CFMA permits several new categories of exchanges to be created, each of which is subject to less regulation than traditional CFTC-approved contract markets.  To date, all of the trust’s futures trading in the United States has been conducted on exchanges subject to the full oversight of the CFTC and the managing owner expects that substantially all of the trust’s futures trading in the United States will continue to be conducted on such exchanges.  However, it is not now possible to determine what impact the existence of these new exchanges will have on the trust’s trading activities.
 
Forward currency contracts are traded off-exchange through banks or dealers.  In such instances, the bank or dealer generally acts as principal in the transaction and charges “bid-ask” spreads.
 
Futures and forward trading is a “zero-sum,” risk transfer economic activity.  For every gain there is an equal and offsetting loss.
 
Exchange of Futures for Physicals (“EFP”) Transactions
 
Although futures contracts are normally entered into through competitive bidding and offering on an exchange floor (or its electronic equivalent), most U.S. exchanges allow futures contracts also to be established in a transaction known as an exchange of futures for physicals (“EFP”).  In an EFP transaction where two parties engage in a cash sale of a commodity underlying a futures contract, those same two parties are permitted to establish futures positions of an equivalent quantity opposite to their cash transaction.  For example, a seller of a cash commodity would be permitted to establish a long futures position of an equivalent quantity and the buyer of the cash commodity would be permitted to establish a short futures position of the equivalent commodity.  In some futures markets, the cash transaction upon which the EFP is based can be the reversal of a previously entered into but unsettled cash transaction.  In those markets, because the cash transaction is essentially “transitory,” EFPs can serve as a means for parties to enter into futures contracts at negotiated prices and at other than during normal trading hours.
 
Hedgers and Speculators
 
The two broad classifications of persons who trade futures are “hedgers” and “speculators.”  Hedging is designed to minimize the losses that may occur because of price changes, for example, between the time a merchandiser contracts to sell a commodity and the time of delivery.  The futures and forward markets enable the hedger to shift the risk of price changes to the speculator.  The speculator risks capital with the hope of making profits from such changes.  Speculators, such as the trust, rarely make or take delivery of the physical commodity but rather close out their futures positions through offsetting futures contracts.
 
Exchanges; Position and Daily Limits; Margins
 
Each of the existing futures exchanges in the United States has an associated “clearinghouse.”  Once trades made between members of an exchange have been cleared, each clearing broker looks only to the clearinghouse for all payments in respect of such broker’s open positions.  The clearinghouse “guarantee” of performance on open positions does not run to customers.  If a member firm goes bankrupt, customers could lose money.
 
The CFTC and the United States exchanges have established “speculative position limits” on the maximum positions that trades may hold or control in futures contracts on certain commodities.
 
Most United States futures exchanges limit the maximum change in futures prices during any single trading day.  Once the “daily limit” has been reached, it becomes very difficult to execute trades.  Because these limits apply on a day-to-day basis, they do not limit ultimate losses, but may reduce or eliminate liquidity and could make it difficult for the trust to liquidate unprofitable positions.

 
- 33 -

 
 
When a position is established, “initial margin” is deposited.  On most futures exchanges, at the close of each trading day “variation margin,” representing the unrealized gain or loss on the open positions, is either credited to or debited from a trader’s account.  If “variation margin” payments cause a trader’s “initial margin” to fall below “maintenance margin” levels, a “margin call” is made, requiring the trader to deposit additional margin or have his position closed out.
 
The trust’s assets are traded on a number of foreign commodities exchanges.  Foreign commodity exchanges differ in certain respects from their United States counterparts and are not regulated by any United States agency.
 
Trading Methods
 
Managed futures strategies are generally classified as either (i) systematic or discretionary; and (ii) technical or fundamental.
 
Systematic and Discretionary Trading Approaches
 
A systematic trader relies on trading programs or models to generate trading signals.  Discretionary traders make trading decisions on the basis of their own judgment.
 
Each approach involves inherent risks.  For example, systematic traders may incur substantial losses when fundamental or unexpected forces dominate the markets, while discretionary traders may overlook price trends which would have been signaled by a system.
 
Technical and Fundamental Analysis
 
Technical analysis operates on the theory that market prices, momentum and patterns at any given point in time reflect all known factors affecting the supply and demand for a particular commodity.  Consequently, technical analysis focuses on market data as the most effective means of attempting to predict future prices.
 
Fundamental analysis, in contrast, focuses on the study of factors external to the markets, for example: weather, the economy of a particular country, government policies, domestic and foreign political and economic events, and changing trade prospects.  Fundamental analysis assumes that markets are imperfect and that market mispricings can be identified.
 
Trend-Following
 
Trend-following advisors try to take advantage of major price movements, in contrast with traders who focus on making many small profits on short-term trades or through relative value positions.  Trend-following traders assume that most of their trades will be unprofitable. They look for a few large profits from big trends.  During periods with no major price movements, a trend-following trading program is likely to have big losses.
 
Risk Control Techniques
 
Trading advisors often adopt risk management principles.  Such principles typically restrict the size of positions taken as well as establishing stop-loss points at which losing positions are to be liquidated.  However, no risk control technique can assure that big losses will be avoided.
 
Interest on Trust Assets
 
The trust receives interest income on its assets.  On the first business day of each month, R.J. O’Brien & Associates, LLC credits the trust’s account holding U.S. dollar deposits with interest, as of February 1, 2010, in the amount of 80% of the average four-week Treasury Bill rate; while the remaining 20% of the average four-week Treasury Bill rate is retained by R.J. O’Brien & Associates, LLC.  With respect to non-U.S. dollar deposits, the rate of interest is equal to a rate of one-month LIBOR less 1.0%.  Any amounts received by R.J. O’Brien & Associates, LLC in excess of amounts paid to the trust are retained by R.J. O’Brien & Associates, LLC.  The interest earned on the trust’s assets can offset a portion, although at current rates not all, of its routine costs.  The trust’s interest income represents a source of revenue entirely independent of its speculative futures and forward trading, but is subject to the risk of trading losses.  Interest is currently estimated to be earned at a rate of 0.56%.
 
Although the managing owner has not yet done so, the managing owner may place some of the trust’s assets with a custodian and hire a third-party cash manager to manage that money.
 
Small Minimum Investment
 
Investors in the trust are currently able to gain access to the trust for a minimum investment of only $5,000; $2,000 in the case of eligible employee benefit plans and individual retirement accounts.  A small minimum investment requirement makes the trust accessible to a wide range of investors and also means that no investor must commit a significant amount of assets in order to participate in the trust.

 
- 34 -

 
 
Limited Liability
 
An investor who opens an individual futures account is generally liable for all losses incurred in such account, and may lose substantially more than such investor committed to the account, particularly in light of the large positions in relation to capital used in futures and forward trading.  However, a unitholder cannot lose more than his or her investment in the trust plus undistributed profits.  In fact, in the event the net asset value of a unit decreases to less than 50% of the previous highest month-end net asset value per unit as of the close of business on any day, the managing owner is required to cause the trust to liquidate all open positions, suspend trading and declare a special redemption date in accordance with the provisions in the Eighth Amended and Restated Declaration and Agreement of Trust.  Without limited liability, it could be imprudent for an investor to participate in strategies like those applied by the trust’s trading advisors where positions may be large in relation to account equity.
 
Administrative Convenience
 
The trust is structured so as to substantially eliminate the administrative burden which would otherwise be involved in unitholders engaging directly in futures and forward trading.  Unitholders receive monthly unaudited and annual certified financial reports as well as all tax information relating to the trust necessary for unitholders to complete their federal and state income tax returns.  The approximate daily net asset value per unit is available by calling your financial advisor or the managing owner toll free at (888) 292-9399.
 
Diversification by Sector

The chart below reflects the total markets and sectors traded by the six trading advisors.  Re-allocations of the trust’s assets among these programs and other manager programs may change from time to time.  Investors should not treat the trust as a means of participating in any one specific sector.  There is no way to predict which markets the trust will trade or what its relative commitments to the different markets will be.

Volatility
 
Volatility, as measured by the standard deviation of returns, is a common investment industry measure of risk.  To understand how the Barclay B-Top 50 Index is positioned in the marketplace when comparing historical volatility among other indices, “upside” and “downside” volatility must be defined.  Downside volatility is movement from the mean downwards.  Upside volatility is movement from the mean upwards.  In other words, downside volatility reflects the performance below the average monthly return and upside volatility reflects performance above the average monthly return.  Overall volatility by itself is not necessarily the only factor to evaluate when considering to invest.

Selected Indices versus the S&P 500Ò Stock Index
January 2005 – December 2009
 


Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
 
The overall volatility is the standard deviation of all of the Barclay B-Top 50 Index’s actual returns from January 2005 through December 2009 for the BTOP 50 and the indices shown above.  The upside volatility for the BTOP 50 and each of the indices shown in the chart above was derived by taking the standard deviation of all the returns greater than the mean for that specific product.  The downside volatility for the BTOP 50 and each of the indices shown in the chart above was derived by taking the standard deviation of all the returns less than the mean for that specific product.  The mean is derived by calculating the average of all of the monthly returns from January 2005 through December 2009.  Standard deviation measures the variability of a probability distribution and is widely used as a measure of risk.  Figures are annualized using the monthly rates of return on a compounded basis from January 2005 through December 2009.

Efficient Frontier

As discussed above and in Part One of this two part prospectus, by allocating a portion of the risk segment of a traditional portfolio of stocks and bonds to managed futures, an investor has the potential to enhance the prospects for superior performance of an overall portfolio as well as to reduce the volatility of the portfolio over time.

The following graph, prepared by Liberty Funds Group and the managing owner, demonstrates the potential effects of adding managed futures, as represented by the Barclay B-Top 50 Index, to a diversified stock portfolio, represented by the S&P 500Ò Stock Index.  Adding managed futures has the potential to increase the portfolio’s overall returns while decreasing the standard deviation of returns (a common measure of risk).  The graph was prepared using the performance of the Barclay B-Top 50 Index for the period from January 2005 through December 2009.

The following graph does not reflect the risk of the Barclay B-Top 50 Index incurring sudden, major losses as the graph is based on statistical averages over time.
