RJO Global Trust (the “Trust”), is a Delaware statutory trust organized on November 12, 1996 under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act. It was formed to engage in the speculative trading of commodity interests, including futures contracts on currencies, interest rates, energy and agricultural products, metals, commodity indices and stock indices, spot and forward contracts on currencies and precious metals and exchanges for physicals pursuant to the trading instructions of multiple independent commodity trading advisors (“CTAs”).

R.J. O’Brien Fund Management, LLC, the managing owner of the trust (“RJOFM” or the “Managing Owner”), acquired the managing owner interest in the Trust from Refco Commodity Management, Inc. (“RCMI”) on November 30, 2006. The Managing Owner was initially formed as an Illinois corporation in November 2006 and became a Delaware limited liability company in July of 2007. The Managing Owner is registered as a commodity pool operator under the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended (“CE Act”), and is responsible for administering the business and affairs of the Trust. The Managing Owner is an affiliate of R.J. O’Brien & Associates LLC, the clearing broker for the Trust (“RJO” or the “Clearing Broker”).

Units of beneficial ownership of the Trust (“units”) commenced selling on April 3, 1997. Effective July 1, 2011, the Managing Owner discontinued the public offering of the units and begin offering the units on a private placement basis only. The Trust filed a Post-Effective Amendment to its Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 5, 2011 to deregister the remaining units that were unsold under the public offering. The Post-Effective Amendment was declared effective by the SEC on July 8, 2011. Effective January 15, 2014, the Managing Owner began offering Class C and Class D units. The Class A and Class B units are no longer offered.

Pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement dated August 30, 2013 (the “Investment Management Agreement”), the Managing Owner appointed RPM Risk & Portfolio Management Aktiebolag, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Sweden, as investment manager to the Trust (“RPM” or the “Investment Manager”). The Trust is a multi-advisor commodity pool where trading decisions for the Trust are delegated to multiple independent CTAs (each a “Trading Advisor” and collectively, the “Trading Advisors”) representing the Investment Manager’s “Evolving Manager Program”. The Evolving Manager Program seeks to identify and select CTAs with shorter track records and with smaller assets under management who, in the opinion of the Investment Manager, appear to have potential for long-term over-performance relative to their respective peer group. RPM may add, delete or modify such categories of investment strategies in line with its investment objective and policy. The strategies include three broad based categories that are described as follows (each, an “Eligible Strategy”):

The Investment Manager will, in its discretion, determine the minimum or maximum target allocation or allocation range, or the manner in which to rebalance the Trust or adjust relative weightings of the Trust. RPM has complete flexibility in allocation and reallocating the Trust’s capital in any manner that it may deem appropriate. There can be no assurance as to which factors the Investment Manager may consider in making capital allocations for the Trust, or as to which allocation the Investment Manager may make. RPM may also add, remove or replace any Trading Advisor without the consent of or advance notice to investors. Investors will be notified of any material change in the basic investment policies or structure of the Trust.

The Trust’s assets are currently allocated to O’Brien Alternative Strategic Investment Solutions, LLC (“RJ OASIS”), a Delaware series limited liability company operated by RJOFM. Each “series” of RJ OASIS feeds into a separate trading company established to facilitate trading by a particular Trading Advisor (each a “Trading Company” and collectively, the “Trading Companies”). The Trading Companies are operated by RJOFM. As of September 30, 2014, the Trust was the sole investor in the five (5) series of RJ OASIS in which it invests: OASIS Revolution Capital Mgmt Series (“OASIS RCM”), OASIS PGR Capital Series (“OASIS PGR”), OASIS Bleecker Street Capital Series (“OASIS Bleecker”), OASIS Paskewitz Asset Management Series (“OASIS PAM”) and OASIS Centurion Investment Mgmt Series (“OASIS CIM”).

On October 22, 2013, a Second Amendment to the Trust Agreement (as defined below) was entered into to reflect certain updates to the fees and expenses of the Trust in connection with the appointment of the Investment Manager, which will be payable by the Class C and Class D unitholders. The change in fees and expenses are not expected to significantly affect Class A and Class B unitholders. As of September 30, 2014, RPM has delegated trading decisions for the Trust to five independent Trading Advisors: Revolution Capital Management LLC (“RCM”), PGR Capital LLP (“PGR”), Bleecker Street Capital, LLC (“Bleecker”), Paskewitz Asset Management, LLC (“PAM”) and Centurion Investment Management LLC (“CIM”), pursuant to advisory agreements executed between the Managing Owner, and, as applicable, each Trading Company and each Trading Advisor (each an “Advisory Agreement” and collectively the “Advisory Agreements”).

The Advisory Agreements between the Trading Companies and the appropriate Trading Advisors provide that each Trading Advisor has discretion in and responsibility for the selection of the Trading Company’s commodity transactions with respect to that portion of the Series’ assets allocated to it. As of September 30, 2014, prior to quarter-end reallocation, RCM was managing 27.28%, PGR 22.22%, Bleecker 5.27%, PAM 6.28%, and CIM 33.78% of the Trust’s assets, respectively. Approximately 5.17% of the Trust’s assets were not allocated to any Trading Advisor.

RCM, PGR, PAM, and CIM are technical traders, and as such, their programs do not predict price movements. No fundamental economic supply or demand analysis is used in attempting to identify mispricing in the market, and no macroeconomic assessments of the relative strengths of different national economies or economic sectors are made. However, there are frequent periods during which fundamental factors external to the market dominate prices. For Bleecker, which is a discretionary trader, economic fundamentals and macroeconomic assessments are made in the implementation of its investment strategy.

RJO is a “futures commission merchant,” the Managing Owner is a “commodity pool operator” and the Trading Advisors to the Trust are “commodity trading advisors,” as those terms are used in the CE Act. As such, they are registered with and subject to regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) and are each a member of the National Futures Association (“NFA”). R.J. O’Brien Securities, LLC, an affiliate of RJOFM and the lead selling agent for the Trust, is registered as a broker-dealer with the “SEC”, and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).

The Managing Owner is responsible for the preparation of monthly and annual reports to the beneficial owners of the Trust (the “Beneficial Owners”), filing reports required by the CFTC, the NFA, the SEC and certain state agencies having jurisdiction over the Trust, calculation of the Trust’s net asset value (“NAV”) (meaning the total assets less total liabilities of the Trust), and directing payment of the management and incentive fees payable to the Investment Manager and Trading Advisors under the Investment Management Agreement and Advisory Agreements, as applicable.

The Trust will be terminated on December 31, 2026, unless terminated earlier upon the occurrence of one of the following: (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) 120 days after the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Managing Owner, unless the bankruptcy court approves the sale and assignment of the interests of the Managing Owner to a purchaser/assignor that assumes the duties of the Managing Owner; (3) 120 days after the notice of the retirement, resignation, or withdrawal of the Managing Owner, unless Beneficial Owners holding more than 50% of the outstanding units appoint a successor; (4) 90 days after the insolvency of the Managing Owner or any other event that would cause the Managing Owner to cease being managing owner of the Trust, unless Beneficial Owners holding more than 50% of the outstanding units appoint a successor; (5) dissolution of the Managing Owner; (6) insolvency or bankruptcy of the Trust; (7) a decrease in the NAV to less than $2,500,000; (8) a decline in the NAV per unit to $50 or less; (9) dissolution of the Trust; or (10) any event that would make it unlawful for the existence of the Trust to be continued or require dissolution of the Trust.

In 2005, certain assets held by the Trust’s prior clearing broker, Refco Capital Markets, LTD (“REFCO, LTD”), were determined to be illiquid. On October 31, 2005, $57,544,206 of equity was moved to a separate non-trading account (the “Non-Trading Account”) and 2,273,288 in substitute units were issued to the unitholders at that time, pro rata to their share in the Trust. At December 31, 2005, the illiquid assets were determined to be impaired and were reduced by $39,580,944 for impairment, based on management’s estimate at that time.

Effective January 1, 2007, JWH Special Circumstance LLC (the “LLC”), a limited liability company, was established to pursue additional claims against REFCO, LTD, and all Non-Trading Accounts were transferred to the LLC. Any new funds received from REFCO, LTD by the LLC will be distributed to unitholders who were investors in the Trust at the time of the bankruptcy of REFCO, LTD and Refco, Inc. U.S. Bank National Association (“US Bank”) is the manager of the LLC. US Bank may make distributions to the unitholders, as defined above, upon collection, sale, settlement or other disposition of the bankruptcy claim and after payment of all fees and expenses pro rata to the unitholders, as explained above, as follows:

The LLC agreed to compensate US Bank, as manager, the following: (1) an initial acceptance fee of $120,000, (2) an annual fee of $25,000, (3) a distribution fee of $25,000 per distribution, (4) out-of-pocket expenses, and (5) an hourly fee for all personnel at the then expected hourly rate ($350 per hour at the time the agreement was executed).
