The rights of the Series A units, Series B units, Series D units and Series W units are identical, except that the fees and commissions vary on a Series-by-Series basis. Series A, Series D and Series W commenced trading on October 1, 2008, October 1, 2017 and March 1, 2009, respectively. The initial minimum subscription for Series A units, Series D units and Series W units is $25,000. Series B units are only available for additional investments by existing holders of Series B units. See Note 1.G., Note 1.I., Note 2, Note 3 and Note 10 for an explanation of allocations and Series specific charges.

B. Regulation

As a registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Trust is subject to the regulatory requirements under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. As a commodity investment pool, the Trust is subject to the regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, an agency of the United States (U.S.) government which regulates most aspects of the commodity futures industry; rules of the National Futures Association, an industry self-regulatory organization; and the requirements of the various commodity exchanges where the Trust executes transactions. Additionally, the Trust is subject to the requirements of futures commission merchants (the “futures brokers”) and interbank market maker through which the Trust trades.

C. Method of Reporting

The Trust’s financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which may require the use of certain estimates made by the Trust’s management. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The Trust meets the definition of an investment company according to the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946-10, Financial Services – Investment Companies.

Investment transactions, including futures, forwards and fixed income securities are accounted for on the trade date. Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated. Realized gains or losses on spot trades associated with forward currency contract trading are included in realized gains or losses from forward currency trading. Unrealized gains and losses on open contracts (the difference between contract trade value and fair value) are reported in the Statements of Financial Condition as a net gain or loss, as there exists a right of offset of unrealized gains or losses in accordance with ASC 210-20, Offsetting - Balance Sheet. The fair value of futures (exchange-traded) contracts is based on various futures exchanges, and reflects the settlement price for each contract as of the close on the last business day of the reporting period. The fair value of forward currency (non-exchange traded) contracts was extrapolated on a forward basis from the spot prices quoted as of 3:00 P.M. (E.T.) on the last business day of the reporting period.

The daily exchange of variation margin associated with a Central Counterparty Clearing House derivative instrument is legally characterized as the daily settlement of the derivative instrument itself. Accordingly, the Trust accounts for the daily receipt or payment of variation margin associated with its centrally cleared swaps and futures as a direct reduction to the carrying value of the centrally cleared swaps and futures derivative asset or liability, respectively. The carrying amount of centrally cleared swaps and futures reflected in the Trust’s Statements of Financial Condition is equal to the unsettled fair value of such instruments, which generally represents the change in fair value that occurred on the last day of the reporting period.

THE CAMPBELL FUND TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
  JUNE 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
Centrally cleared credit default index swaps and interest rate swap transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses are determined using the identified cost method. The fair value of centrally cleared swap contracts is determined by using current market quotations provided by an independent external pricing source. Valuation using an external pricing source involves the use of observable inputs in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. Any change in net unrealized gain or loss from the prior period is reported in “Swap trading gains (losses) - Change in Unrealized” in the Statements of Operations. Period payments received or paid on swap contracts, commissions and fees associated with trading the swap contracts and cash payments received or made due to the underlying obligation in the event of a credit event are recorded as part of “Swap trading gains (losses) – Realized” in the Statements of Operations.

The fixed income investments are marked to market on the last business day of the reporting period using a third party vendor hierarchy of pricing providers who specialize in such markets. The prices furnished by the providers consider the yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, and type, as well as prices quoted by dealers who make markets in such securities. Premiums and discounts on fixed income securities are amortized and accreted for financial reporting purposes.

The short term investments represent cash held at the custodian and invested overnight in a money market fund.

For purposes of both financial reporting and calculation of redemption value, Net Asset Value per unit is calculated by dividing Net Asset Value by the number of outstanding units.

D. Fair Value

The Trust follows the provisions of ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 provides guidance for determining fair value and requires increased disclosure regarding the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust has the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market for the asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The value of the Trust’s exchange-traded futures contracts and short term investments fall into this category.

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. This category includes forward currency contracts that the Trust values using models or other valuation methodologies derived from observable market data. For centrally cleared swap contracts, the Trust uses current market quotations provided by an independent external pricing source to determine fair value. This category also includes fixed income investments.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments). Unobservable inputs shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and for the periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Trust did not have any Level 3 assets or liabilities.

F. Income Taxes

The Trust prepares calendar year U.S. federal and applicable state tax returns and reports to the unitholders their allocable shares of the Trust’s income, expenses and trading gains or losses. No provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements as each unitholder is individually responsible for reporting income or loss based on such unitholder’s respective share of the Trust’s income and expenses as reported for income tax purposes.

Management has continued to evaluate the application of ASC 740, Income Taxes, to the Trust, and has determined that no reserves for uncertain tax positions were required. There are no tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within twelve months. The Trust files federal and state tax returns. The 2020 through 2023 tax years generally remain subject to examination by the U.S. federal and most state tax authorities.

G. Offering Costs

Campbell & Company, LP (“Campbell & Company”) has incurred all costs in connection with the initial and continuous offering of units of the Trust (“offering costs”). Series A units, Series D units and Series W units will each bear the offering costs incurred in relation to the offering of Series A units, Series D units and Series W units, respectively. Offering costs are charged to Series A, Series D and Series W at a monthly rate of 1/12 of 0.5% (0.5% annualized) of each Series’ month-end net asset value (as defined in the Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement) until such amounts are fully reimbursed. Such amounts are charged directly to unitholders’ capital. Series A, Series D and Series W are only liable for payment of offering costs on a monthly basis. The offering costs allocable to the Series B units are borne by Campbell & Company.

If the Trust terminates prior to completion of payment to Campbell & Company for the unreimbursed offering costs incurred through the date of such termination, Campbell & Company will not be entitled to any additional payments, and Series A units, Series D units and Series W units will have no further obligation to Campbell & Company. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the amount of unreimbursed offering costs incurred by Campbell & Company is $78,841 and $91,015 for Series A units, $145,551 and $128,000 for Series D units and $197,969 and $199,065 for Series W units, respectively.

H. Foreign Currency Transactions

The Trust’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar; however, it transacts business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect at the date of the Statements of Financial Condition. Income and expense items denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect during the period. Gains and losses resulting from the translation to U.S. dollars are reported in income.

I. Allocations

Income or loss (prior to calculation of the management fee, offering costs and performance fee) is allocated pro rata to each Series of units. Each Series of units is then charged the management fee, offering costs and performance fee applicable to such Series of units.

Note 2. MANAGING OPERATOR AND COMMODITY TRADING ADVISOR

The managing operator of the Trust is Campbell & Company which conducts and manages the business of the Trust. Campbell & Company is also the commodity trading advisor of the Trust.

Series A units, Series B units, Series D units and Series W units pay the managing operator a monthly management fee equal to 1/12 of 2% (2% annually) of the Net Assets (as defined) of Series A units, Series B units, Series D units and Series W units as of the end of each month.

Each Series of units will pay the managing operator a quarterly performance fee equal to 20% of the aggregate cumulative appreciation in Net Asset Value per Unit (as defined) exclusive of appreciation attributable to interest income on a Series-by-Series basis. The performance fee is paid on the cumulative increase, if any, in the Net Asset Value per Unit over the highest previous cumulative Net Asset Value per Unit (commonly referred to as a High Water Mark). In determining the management fee and performance fee (the “fees”), adjustments shall be made for capital additions and withdrawals and Net Assets shall not be reduced by the fees being calculated for such current period. The performance fee is not subject to any clawback provisions. The fees are typically paid in the month following the month in which they are earned. The fees are paid from the available cash at the Trust’s bank, broker or cash management custody accounts.

Note 3. SALES COMMISSION

The managing operator pays an upfront sales commission based on Series A units sold by selling agents who have executed selling agreements with the Trust. The Trust pays commissions based on Series A, Series B, and Series D units.

For Series A, there is an upfront sales commission paid by the managing operator of 2% of the subscription amount of each subscription for units. For up to twelve months after the sale of units, the managing operator will receive from the Trust a monthly reimbursement of 1/12 of 2% (2% annually) of the current net asset value of the units the selling agent has sold and which are outstanding at the end of such month. In the event that the units are redeemed before the twelfth month, the managing operator will receive the redemption fee the Trust deducts from the redemption proceeds. In addition, commencing thirteen months after the sale of units and in return for providing ongoing services to the unitholder, the Trust will pay the selling agent (or its assignees) a monthly trail commission of 1/12 of 2% (2% annually) of the current net asset value of the units it has sold and which are outstanding at the end of such month in respect of which the selling agent provides ongoing services.

Series B and Series D units pay a monthly trail commission of 1/12 of 2% (2% annually) and 1/12 of 0.75% (0.75% annually), respectively, of the current net asset value of the units the selling agent has sold and which are outstanding at the end of such month in respect of which the selling agent provides ongoing services. Such ongoing compensation shall commence the first full month after the sale of the units.

Any monthly trail commission which is not paid to a selling agent pursuant to an executed selling or servicing agreement with the Trust will be rebated to unitholders in the form of a capital addition and is reported as such in the financial statements.

Note 11. CREDIT DERIVATIVES AND CREDIT-RELATED CONTINGENCY FEATURES

Credit derivatives generally require the seller to make a payment to the buyer in the event the underlying referenced security or index to the contract defaults or another triggering event, as defined in the applicable derivative contract, occurs. The Trust sells credit derivative contracts for speculative investment purposes. The following table summarizes the notional amounts of credit derivative contracts sold by the Trust by their maturity for contracts which are outstanding at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Notional amounts are disclosed as they represent the maximum potential payout, however, management believes that the carrying value of these contracts is a more relevant measure of these obligations. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying value of such credit derivative contracts purchased was $10,540,513 and $11,078,458, respectively.

The Trust does not monitor its exposure to credit derivatives based on the notional amounts because that measure does not take into consideration the probability of a credit default event, the legal right to offset assets and liabilities by a counterparty, or collateral posted. However, the notional value of these credit derivative contracts has been included to provide information about the magnitude of involvement with these types of contracts.

Note 12. TRADING ACTIVITIES AND RELATED RISKS

The Trust engages in the speculative trading of U.S. and foreign futures contracts, forward currency contracts and centrally cleared swap contracts (collectively, “derivatives”). Specifically, the Trust trades a portfolio focused on futures, forward, credit default index swap and interest rate swap contracts, which are instruments designed to hedge changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates, stock index values, metals, energy, agriculture values, and credit risks. The Trust is exposed to both market risk, the risk arising from changes in the fair value of the contracts, and credit risk, the risk of failure by another party to perform according to the terms of a contract.

Market Risk

For derivatives, risks arise from changes in the fair value of the contracts. Market movements result in frequent changes in the fair value of the Trust’s open positions and, consequently, in its earnings and cash flow. The Trust’s market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including the level and volatility of exchange rates, interest rates, equity price levels, the fair value of financial instruments and contracts, the diversification effects among the Trust’s open positions and the liquidity of the markets in which it trades. Theoretically, the Trust is exposed to a market risk equal to the notional contract value of futures and forward currency contracts purchased and unlimited liability on such contracts sold short. The value of an interest rate swap will change as market interest rates rise and fall in conjunction with whether the contract is to receive or pay a fixed interest rate. As a purchaser of credit default index swaps, the Trust’s risk of loss is limited to any cash payments required under the swap contracts. Written credit default contracts (i.e., sell protection) expose the Trust to a market risk equal to the notional value of such swap contracts and any cash payments required under the swap contracts. See Note 1.C. for an explanation of how the Trust determines its valuation for derivatives as well as the netting of derivatives.

THE CAMPBELL FUND TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
  JUNE 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the monthly average of futures contracts bought and sold was approximately 65,300 and 70,700, respectively; the monthly average of notional value of centrally cleared swap contracts was approximately $9,210,500,000 and $5,336,700,000, respectively; and the monthly average of notional value of forward currency contracts was $6,449,500,000 and $5,802,700,000, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the monthly average of futures contracts bought and sold was approximately 61,500 and 61,400, respectively; the monthly average of notional value of centrally cleared swap contracts was approximately $9,294,700,000 and $4,595,500,000, respectively; and the monthly average of notional value of forward currency contracts was $6,052,700,000 and $5,598,200,000, respectively.

Open contracts generally mature within three months; as of June 30, 2024, the latest maturity date for open futures contracts is September 2025 and the latest maturity date for open forward currency contracts is September 2024. However, the Trust intends to close all futures and offset all forward currency contracts prior to maturity. The latest termination date for centrally cleared swap contracts is September 2029.

Credit Risk

The Trust trades futures contracts on exchanges that require margin deposits with the futures brokers and centrally cleared swap contracts that require margin deposits with the swaps broker. Additional deposits may be necessary for any loss on contract value. The Commodity Exchange Act requires a futures broker or swaps broker to segregate all customer transactions and assets from such futures broker’s or swaps broker’s proprietary activities. A customer’s cash and other property (for example, U.S. Treasury Bills) deposited with a futures broker or swaps broker are considered commingled with all other customer funds subject to the futures broker’s or swaps broker’s segregation requirements. In the event of a futures broker’s or swaps broker’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 total cash and other property deposited.

The Trust trades forward currency contracts in unregulated markets between principals and assumes the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. Accordingly, the risks associated with forward currency contracts are generally greater than those associated with exchange traded contracts because of the greater risk of counterparty default. Additionally, the trading of forward currency contracts typically involves delayed cash settlement.

The Trust has a portion of its assets on deposit with PNC Bank. In the event of a financial institution’s insolvency, recovery of the Trust’s assets on deposit may be limited to account insurance or other protection afforded such deposits.

The Trust has entered into ISDA Agreements with NatWest. Under the terms of the ISDA Agreement, upon the designation of an Event of Default, as defined in the ISDA Agreement, the non-defaulting party may set-off any sum or obligation owed by the defaulting party to the non-defaulting party against any sum or obligation owed by the non-defaulting party to the defaulting party. If any sum or obligation is unascertained, the non-defaulting party may in good faith estimate that sum or obligation and set-off in respect to that estimate, accounting to the other party when such sum or obligation is ascertained.

Under the terms of each master netting agreement with UBS Securities LLC and Goldman, Sachs & Co., upon occurrence of a default by the Trust, as defined in respective account documents, UBS Securities LLC and Goldman, Sachs & Co. have the right to close out any or all open contracts held in the Trust’s account; sell any or all of the securities held; and borrow or buy any securities, contracts or other property for the Trust’s account. The Trust would be liable for any deficiency in its account resulting from such transactions.

The amount of required margin and good faith deposits with the futures brokers, swaps broker, and interbank market maker usually range from 10% to 30% of Net Asset Value. The fair value of securities held to satisfy such requirements at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $80,820,668 and $55,103,441, respectively, which equals approximately 16% and 11% of Net Asset Value, respectively. Included in cash deposits with the swaps broker and interbank market maker at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was restricted cash for margin requirements of $81,599,261 and $92,277,574, respectively, which equals approximately 16% and 19% of Net Asset Value, respectively.

Campbell & Company has established procedures to actively monitor market risk and minimize credit risk, although there can be no assurance that it will, in fact, succeed in doing so. Campbell & Company’s basic market risk control procedures consist of continuously monitoring open positions, diversification of the portfolio and maintenance of a margin-to-equity ratio that rarely exceeds 30%. Campbell & Company’s attempt to manage the risk of the Trust’s open positions is essentially the same in all market categories traded. Campbell & Company applies risk management policies to its trading which generally limit the total exposure that may be taken per “risk unit” of assets under management. In addition, Campbell & Company follows diversification guidelines (often formulated in terms of the balanced volatility between markets and correlated groups), as well as reducing position sizes dynamically in response to trading losses. Campbell & Company controls the risk of the Trust’s non-trading fixed income instruments by limiting the duration of such instruments and requiring a minimum credit quality of the issuers of those instruments.

Campbell & Company seeks to minimize credit risk primarily by depositing and maintaining the Trust’s assets at financial institutions and brokers which Campbell & Company believes to be credit worthy. The unitholder bears the risk of loss only to the extent of the market value of their respective investments and, in certain specific circumstances, distributions and redemptions received.

THE CAMPBELL FUND TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
  JUNE 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
Note 13. INDEMNIFICATIONS

In the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. The Trust expects the risk of any future obligation under these indemnifications to be remote.


Note 14. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
The Statements of Financial Condition, including the Condensed Schedules of Investments, as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Statements of Operations and Financial Highlights for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the Statements of Cash Flows and Changes in Unitholders’ Capital (Net Asset Value) for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, such financial statements reflect all adjustments, which were of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the results of operations and financial highlights for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and cash flows and changes in unitholders’ capital (Net Asset Value) for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Note 15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management of the Trust has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were filed. There are no subsequent events to disclose or record.


Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Introduction

The Campbell Fund Trust (the “Trust”) is a business trust organized on January 2, 1996 under the Delaware Business Trust Act, which was replaced by the Delaware Statutory Trust Act as of September 1, 2002. The Trust is a successor to the Campbell Fund Limited Partnership (formerly known as the Commodity Trend Fund) which began trading operations in January 1972. The Trust currently trades in the U.S. and international futures, forward and centrally cleared swap markets under the sole direction of Campbell & Company, LP, the managing operator of the Trust. Specifically, the Trust trades in a diverse array of global assets, including global interest rates, stock indices, currencies, credit and commodities. The Trust is an actively managed account with speculative trading profits as its objective.

Effective August 31, 2008, the Trust began offering Series A, Series B, and Series W Units. The units in the Trust prior to that date became Series B Units.

Critical Accounting Policies

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 disclosures of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing the financial statements are reasonable and prudent; however, actual results could differ from those estimates. The Trust’s significant accounting policies are described in detail in Note 1 of the Financial Statements.

The Trust records all investments at fair value in its financial statements, with changes in fair value reported as a component of realized and change in unrealized trading gain (loss) in the Statements of Operations. Generally, fair values are based on market prices; however, in certain circumstances, estimates are involved in determining fair value in the absence of an active market closing price (i.e., forward contracts which are traded in the inter-bank market).

Capital Resources

The Trust will raise additional capital only through the sale of Units offered pursuant to the continuing offering, and does not intend to raise any capital through borrowing. Due to the nature of the Trust’s business, it will make no capital expenditures and will have no capital assets which are not operating capital or assets.

The Trust generally maintains 60% to 75% of its net asset value in cash, cash equivalents or other liquid positions in its cash management program over and above that needed to post as collateral for trading. These funds are available to meet redemptions each month. After redemptions and additions are taken into account each month, the trade levels of the Trust are adjusted and positions in the instruments the Trust trades are added or liquidated on a pro-rata basis to meet those increases or decreases in trade levels.

Liquidity

Most United States futures exchanges limit fluctuations in futures contracts prices during a single day by regulations referred to as “daily price fluctuation limits” or “daily limits.” During a single trading day, no trades may be executed at prices beyond the daily limit. Once the price of a futures contract has reached the daily limit for that day, positions in that contract can neither be taken nor liquidated. Futures prices have occasionally moved to the daily limit for several consecutive days with little or no trading. Similar occurrences could prevent the Trust from promptly liquidating unfavorable positions and subject the Trust to substantial losses which could exceed the margin initially committed to such trades. In addition, even if futures prices have not moved the daily limit, the Trust may not be able to execute futures trades at favorable prices, if little trading in such contracts is taking place. Other than these limitations on liquidity, which are inherent in the Trust’s futures trading operations, the Trust’s assets are expected to be highly liquid.

The entire offering proceeds, without deductions, will be credited to the Trust’s bank, custodial and/or cash management accounts. The Trust meets margin requirements for its trading activities by depositing cash and U.S. government securities with the futures broker and the over-the-counter counterparty. This does not reduce the risk of loss from trading futures, forward and swap contracts. The Trust receives all interest earned on its assets. No other person shall receive any interest or other economic benefits from the deposit of Trust assets.

Approximately 15% to 40% of the Trust’s assets normally are committed as required margin for futures contracts and held by the futures brokers, although the amount committed may vary significantly. Such assets are maintained in the form of cash or U.S. Treasury Bills in segregated accounts with the futures brokers pursuant to the Commodity Exchange Act and regulations thereunder. Approximately 5% to 15% of the Trust’s assets are deposited with the over-the-counter counterparty or centrally cleared in order to initiate and maintain forward contracts. Such assets are not held in segregation or otherwise regulated under the Commodity Exchange Act, unless such over-the-counter counterparty is registered as a futures commission merchant. These assets are held either in U.S. government securities or short-term time deposits with U.S.-regulated bank affiliates of the over-the-counter counterparty.

The managing operator deposits the majority of those assets of the Trust that are not required to be deposited as margin with the futures brokers and over-the-counter counterparties in a custodial account with Northern Trust Company. The assets deposited in the custodial account with Northern Trust Company are segregated. Such custodial account constitutes approximately 60% to 75% of the Trust’s assets and are invested directly by PNC Capital Advisors, LLC (“PNC”). PNC is registered with the SEC as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. PNC does not guarantee any interest or profits will accrue on the Trust’s assets in the custodial account. PNC invest the assets according to agreed upon investment guidelines that first preserve capital, second allow for sufficient liquidity, and third provide a yield beyond the risk-free rate. Investments can include, but are not limited to, (i) U.S. Government Securities, Government Agency Securities, Municipal Securities, banker acceptances and certificates of deposits; (ii) commercial paper; (iii) short-term investment grade corporate debt; and (iv) Asset Backed Securities.

The Trust occasionally receives margin calls (requests to post more collateral) from its futures brokers or over-the-counter counterparty, which are met by moving the required portion of the assets held in the custody account at Northern Trust Company to the margin accounts. In the past three years, the Trust has not needed to liquidate any position as a result of a margin call.

The Trust’s assets are not and will not be, directly or indirectly, commingled with the property of any other person in violation of law or invested in or loaned to Campbell & Company or any affiliated entities.

Off-Balance Sheet Risk

The term “off-balance sheet risk” refers to an unrecorded potential liability that, even though it does not appear on the balance sheet, may result in future obligation or loss. The Trust trades in futures, forward and swap contracts and is therefore a party to financial instruments with elements of off-balance sheet market and credit risk. In entering into these contracts there exists a risk to the Trust, market risk, that such contracts may be significantly influenced by market conditions, such as interest rate volatility, resulting in such contracts being less valuable. If the markets should move against all of the futures interests positions of the Trust at the same time, and if the Trust’s trading advisor was unable to offset futures interests positions of the Trust, the Trust could lose all of its assets and the Unitholders would realize a 100% loss. Campbell & Company, the managing operator (who also acts as trading advisor), minimizes market risk through real-time monitoring of open positions, diversification of the portfolio and maintenance of a margin-to-equity ratio that rarely exceeds 40% however, these precautions may not be effective in limiting the risk of loss.

In addition to market risk, in entering into futures, forward and swap contracts there is a credit risk that a counterparty will not be able to meet its obligations to the Trust. The counterparty for futures contracts and centrally cleared swap contracts traded in the United States and on most foreign exchanges is the clearinghouse associated with such exchange. In general, clearinghouses are backed by the corporate members of the clearinghouse who are required to share any financial burden resulting from the non-performance by one of their members and, as such, should significantly reduce this credit risk. In cases where the clearinghouse is not backed by the clearing members, like some foreign exchanges, it is normally backed by a consortium of banks or other financial institutions.

In the case of forward contracts, which are traded on the interbank market rather than on exchanges, the counterparty is generally a single bank or other financial institution, rather than a group of financial institutions; thus there may be a greater counterparty credit risk. Campbell & Company trades for the Trust only with those counterparties which it believes to be creditworthy. All positions of the Trust are valued each day at fair value. There can be no assurance that any clearing member, clearinghouse or other counterparty will be able to meet its obligations to the Trust.

Disclosures About Certain Trading Activities that Include Non-Exchange Traded Contracts Accounted for at Fair Value

The Trust invests in futures, forward currency, and centrally cleared swap contracts. The market value of futures (exchange-traded) contracts is determined by the various futures exchanges, and reflects the settlement price for each contract as of the close of the last business day of the reporting period. The fair value of forward (non-exchange traded) contracts is extrapolated on a forward basis from the spot prices quoted as of 3:00 P.M. (E.T.) of the last business day of the reporting period.  The fair value of centrally cleared swap contracts is determined by using currency market quotations provided by an independent external pricing source.

The Trust realized a profit in January. Gains came from equity index and interest rates holdings, while trading in foreign exchange (FX), commodities, and credit produced partially offsetting losses during the month. Global stock indexes generated profits for the Trust. Net long positioning on a variety of equity indices benefitted as most major global stock indexes finished the month in positive territory. The general risk-on sentiment was fueled by goldilocks data releases, ongoing disinflationary traction, some positive earnings takeaways, and Chinese stimulus measures. Fixed income markets contributed additional gains during the month. January’s overarching theme was the unwinding of expectations for early rate cuts across the world. In the US, bond prices fell (yields rose) as solid economic data cast doubts on how quickly the Fed will begin cutting rates, benefiting short positioning in US 30yr Treasuries. Additional gains were realized in payer positions (which benefit from higher rates) in Scandinavian instruments. Hotter-than-expected Swedish inflation spurred traders to look for less easing by the Riksbank, while a moderately hawkish tilt by Norges Bank took Norwegian yields higher. In the credit indices, partially offsetting losses were realized in short protection positions as most credit spreads widened. FX trading generated partially offsetting losses with short positions in the developed market currencies (versus long USD) suffering the most. The dominant theme was the aforementioned improving data out of the US, which caused a correction in the USD after the dovish Fed expectations in the prior months. Gains in short NOK (versus long the USD) were more than offset by losses in long positions in markets like NZD. Commodity trading also provided losses for the Trust. Energies were the worst performing commodity sub-sector with most energy markets posting negative returns. A short holding in natural gas, one of the big winners for the Trust in 2023, faltered as models covered much of their position during a rally in the first half of the month, consequently missing much of the move lower in the latter half of the month. Short grain holdings provided some offsetting gains, as the agricultural complex weakened on expectations for widening inventories and weaker demand.

The Trust produced a gain in February. Gains came from equity index, interest rates, and credit holdings, while trading in foreign exchange (FX) and commodities produced some partially offsetting losses during the month. Long global stock index positioning generated the best sector returns for the Trust. Many equity markets around the globe were bolstered to all-time highs amid the artificial-intelligence euphoria as well as stronger US economic data. Concentration concerns, stretched positioning, and a hawkish Fed remain the key overhangs. Fixed income markets contributed additional gains during the month. Global bond prices fell (yields rose) as expectations for imminent rate cuts continued to fade, with central bank officials pushing back on early spring cuts. Short positioning in German 5yr and 10yr bonds benefited after the ECB minutes confirmed that policymakers still believe it is too soon to cut rates, prompting traders to reduce rate cut bets to <100 bps for this year. In the US, exceptionally strong labor market data and hotter-than-expected inflation pushed the SOFR lower, helping short positioning. Payer positions (which benefit from higher rates) in New Zealand and Sweden IRS added to gains. Short protection positions on the credit indices generated additional gains as spreads narrowed on the month amid the broader rally in risk assets. FX trading generated partially offsetting losses with the Developed Market (DM) currencies, versus long the USD, suffering the most. While the US dollar index continued its strengthening trend on back of the aforementioned stronger US data and fewer 2024 rate cuts expected from the Fed, certain DM currency pairs traded in a more range-bound fashion. Gains in short NOK (versus long the USD) were more than offset by Trust losses in currencies like the GBP and CAD, which suffered amid choppy trading. Commodity positions detracted modestly from P&L in February. Soft commodities generated the largest sub-sector losses during the month. However, short grain holdings provided partially offsetting gains as the grain complex weakened on ample world supplies.

The Trust produced a gain in March. Gains came from equity index, foreign exchange (FX), credit, and commodity holdings, while trading interest rates produced some partially offsetting losses during the month. Global stock indexes generated the best profits for the Trust. Net long positioning on a variety of equity indices benefitted as equities posted another month of gains as the US economy remained resilient, the Fed signaled it is still willing to cut interest rates this year, and AI optimism continued to be a key tailwind for the market. Foreign exchange trading experienced additional gains for the Trust in March. Long positions on the US dollar benefited as the USD strengthened on back of rate differential expectations. That is, the market is still pricing in the Fed to cut rates this year, but not as early as other central banks. The Scandinavian central banks were particularly dovish in March and their currencies weakened; a short position on the Norwegian krone (versus long the USD) was a standout performer for the Trust. Short protection positions on the credit indices generated additional gains as spreads narrowed on the month amid the broader rally in risk assets. Commodity trading was modestly additive in March. Positive performance came from nearly all markets in the energy sub-sector, as efforts from OPEC+ to curb supply and continued geopolitical risks in the Middle East were favorable to net long holdings. Underperformance in short grain positioning capped sector gains. Fixed income markets contributed offsetting losses during the month. Global bonds rallied (yields fell) as many of the major central banks turned more dovish after two months of pushing back against rate cuts. The BOE delivered a more dovish split to its voting pattern and UK gilts advanced, generating losses on short positioning. In the wake of dovish-leaning ECB meetings/commentary, short positioning on German bonds incurred additional losses. Meanwhile, guidance from the Czech National Bank was an exception on the month and delivered a hawkish bias. Receiver positions in Czech Interest Rate Swaps (lower rates desired) suffered losses as a result.

The Trust produced a gain in April. Gains came from interest rates trading while, equity index, foreign exchange (FX), credit, and commodity holdings produced some partially offsetting losses during the month. Fixed income markets generated the best sector returns for the Trust. April saw bonds swing between the competing narratives of persistent inflation prompting calls for yields to be “higher for longer” and geopolitical risks prompting safe haven bids. Ultimately, the former prevailed which pushed global bond prices lower (yields higher). Short positioning in US Treasuries across all tenors profited after the hot US CPI caused a hawkish repricing of the Fed’s policy outlook. By month end, traders had pushed back the timing of the first rate cut to December, dramatically changing the base case for 2024 from six cuts to a single year-end cut. The sell-off in Treasuries spilled over into global markets, to the benefit of short positioning in German bonds. In IRS markets, payer positions (desires rates higher) in Norway and Sweden added to gains as rates in Scandinavian countries rose in tandem with the US. Largely long positioning in global equity indices had a negative impact on Trust performance for the month with risk markets facing a reckoning of the likelihood of higher for longer yields in conjunction with heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. In the credit indices, additional losses were realized in short protection positions as credit spreads widened amid the broader move lower in risk. FX trading generated additional losses during the month with the Developed Market (DM) currencies suffering the most. While the USD index continued its strengthening trend on back of the aforementioned stronger US CPI and fewer 2024 rate cuts expected from the Fed, certain DM currency pairs traded in a more choppy fashion. Gains in short NOK (versus long the USD) were more than offset by Trust losses in currencies like the AUD and GBP, which suffered amid the mid-month reversals. Commodity holdings detracted modestly from P&L in April. The energy sub-sector produced small losses, with a short natural gas position the underperformer as natural gas futures rallied into month-end amid forecasts for warming temps for much of the US. Grains and industrial metals holdings produced some partially offsetting gains.

The Trust produced a loss during May. Losses came from foreign exchange (FX), commodity, and interest rate positions, while stocks and credit index trading created some partially offsetting gains. FX trading generated Trust losses during the month with the Developed Market currencies suffering the worst. May proved to be a difficult month for some FX strategies to navigate given the abrupt shift in the trend of the US dollar. After four straight months of gains for the USD index, the greenback slipped in May on back of several “goldilocks” economic data points. While our models reacted quickly in certain markets like the GBP and benefited from the strength in the pound, they were more than offset by short positions in the NOK and EUR. Commodity positions also detracted from the Trust during the month. The dominant losses were found in the energy sub-sector, led by a short natural gas holding. Futures prices in natural gas rose as tightening supplies spurred a rally. Short grain holdings produced additional losses as the grain complex rallied amid crop concerns. Precious metals produced some offsetting gains as silver prices rose to the highest in more than a decade. Fixed income instruments generated additional losses. Global bonds ended the month mixed with US Treasuries outperforming their peers. The aforementioned goldilocks US data put Fed rate cuts back in play, sending 10yr and 5yr Treasuries higher (yields lower) to the detriment of short positioning. Conversely, rate cut speculation in mainland Europe was dialed back on signs of persistent services sector inflation and elevated wage growth, creating losses in long positioning in short-dated Eurozone bonds. A strong GDP print coupled with a small upside inflation surprise in Switzerland pushed rates higher, hurting receiver (desire rates lower) Swiss IRS positioning. Long positioning in global equity indices provided some partially offsetting gains for the Trust in May. Stock markets advanced on the back of renewed traction surrounding the soft-landing narrative and on optimism for the Fed to begin cutting rates later this year. In the credit indices, additional gains were realized in short protection positions as credit spreads tightened amid the broader move higher in risk.

The Trust produced a gain during June. Profits came from commodity and stock index holdings, while interest rate, foreign exchange (FX), and credit positions created some partially offsetting losses. Commodity holdings produced the best Trust profits during June.  The dominant gains were found from short positioning in the grain markets. The grain complex weakened on ample supplies and sluggish demand with prices plunging into month-end after the USDA acreage report showed higher-than-expected plantings. Holdings in meats, softs, and energies produced additional gains. Stocks trading was also additive for the Trust in June. Long Asian and US stock positions proved beneficial as indexes in those regions advanced on AI enthusiasm as well as soft landing optimism after the US CPI and PPI figures added to the disinflation narrative. Meanwhile, long holdings on European indices produced some offsetting losses as those markets weakened on the back of political uncertainty. Fixed income instruments generated partially offsetting losses for the Trust in June, dominated by short positioning in long-dated bonds. Prices rallied (yields fell) as the first of the G-7 central banks began to cut rates. German 10-year bonds headlined losses after the ECB cut 25bps, its first move lower since 2016. While the US Fed held rates unchanged, short positioning in US 10-year Treasuries added to losses after a soft inflation print cleared the path for future Fed interest rate cuts. In the credit indices, additional losses were realized in short protection positions. Credit spreads widened on the month, dominated by Europe and political uncertainty after the EU elections. FX trading provided additional losses during the month with the Developed Market currencies suffering the worst. The US dollar may have strengthened on the month, but it wasn’t a smooth ride given the mixed economic data. The hotter US employment report early in June caused a sharp move higher in the USD only to revert lower with the softer US CPI report one week later.  The USD eventually made new monthly highs with global election concerns helping the flight-to-quality move, but the choppiness proved difficult for certain strategies.

The Trust showed a profit in January. Gains came from stock index, commodity, foreign exchange (FX), and credit positions, while interest rate holdings produced some partially offsetting losses. Global stock indexes generated the largest gains for the Trust in January. Net long positioning on a variety of equity holdings gained as most major global stock indexes finished the month in the green. The general risk-on sentiment was fueled by China reopening optimism and the hopes that the world’s Central Banks ease off their aggressive rate-hike cycle. A slew of mixed Q4 earnings reports and continued layoff announcements were largely ignored as money flowed into riskier assets. Commodity trading also provided gains for the Trust to start the year. Long coffee and sugar holdings generated the biggest wins within the softs sub-sector as those prices rallied on supply concerns. Industrial metals generated additional gains for the Trust spearheaded by a long LME copper position. The base metals complex experienced a significant monthly rally on back of the weak US dollar, ongoing China reopening optimism, and increasing concern over dwindling stockpiles. Foreign exchange trading produced additional Trust profits. The US dollar experienced a sell-off in January and the gains on long Emerging Market (EM) positions, versus short the USD, more than offset the losses incurred in the short Developed Market (DM) currencies. Longs in Latin American currencies were the main EM gainers as risky assets and carry trades were bought in the risk-on environment. Interest rate positions generated partially offsetting losses on the month. US Treasuries advanced (yields fell) after easing US inflation data strengthened the case for the Fed to turn less aggressive, hurting short positioning along the curve. In Europe, short positioning on German bonds added to Trust losses as prices followed Treasuries higher despite hawkish rhetoric from Lagarde and other European Central Bankers. Long positioning on UK gilts and the Aussie 10-year bond generated partially offsetting gains.Short protection positions in the credit indices which narrowed sharply alongside the broader rally in risk assets generated gains for the Trust.

The Trust showed a robust profit in February. Gains came from fixed income, foreign exchange (FX), and commodity positions, while stock indices produced some partially offsetting losses. Credit holdings had limited P&L impact on the month. Interest rate positions dominated Trust gains in February with long-dated and short-dated instruments equally contributing to profits. US Treasury prices fell (yields rose) as hotter-than-expected inflation data and an extraordinary jump in payrolls elicited increasingly hawkish commentary from Fed members throughout the month, benefiting short positioning. Euro-area core inflation accelerated to a record, prompting money markets to price in a higher ECB terminal rate, which created gains for short German bond positioning. Interest rate swap holdings were also additive, led by a payer position in Mexican rates as yields moved higher after a larger-than-expected rate hike from Mexico’s Central Bank. Foreign exchange trading produced additional Trust returns. The US dollar rallied over the course of the month and the Trust’s short positions in the Developed Market (DM), versus long the US dollar, drove sector gains. A short Norwegian krone holding (against long USD) was a major P&L contributor in the FX sector as the krone continued to be susceptible to weakness in energies, ultimately ending the month as the worst performing G-10 currency in 2023. Commodities provided additional profits for the Trust in February. Short holdings across the industrial and precious metal sub-sectors profited as increasing expectations for further Fed policy tightening and a stronger US dollar weighed on metals prices. Net long global stock index positioning generated some offsetting losses during the month. After a strong start to the year, February saw equity markets retrace in North America and Asia. In the US, stronger-than-expected economic releases, which included labor and inflation data, spurred a meaningful repricing of FOMC rate expectations. In the APAC region, strained US-China geopolitical relations and weaker near-term demand outlooks for China further weighed on risk sentiment. Long positioning on European equities provided some offsetting gains as markets proved more resilient to higher rates in the region.

The Trust realized a loss in March. Losses came from interest rate, stock, commodity, and credit holdings, while foreign exchange (FX) produced some partially offsetting gains during the month. Interest rate positions dominated Trust losses on the month, with both long-dated and short-dated instruments suffering in the wake of the banking crisis that drove global bond prices higher (yields lower). The negative impact on the financial sector from the US Fed’s policy tightening campaign prompted traders to scale back rate hike bets, hurting short US Treasury positioning across most tenors. Partially offsetting gains came from long UK Gilt and Aussie 10-year bond positioning, both of which benefited from the rapid shift to less risky assets. Stock holdings also weighed on Trust performance amid a volatile month of trading. Predominantly long stock positioning was negatively impacted after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and the ensuing fears of contagion. Some stock P&L losses were recovered with prices rallying off mid-month lows as the banking sector stabilized and investors weighed the possibility of the Fed pausing its rate increases. Commodity positions added to Trust losses in March. Short precious metal holdings generated the largest sub-sector losses as bullion prices rose amid the banking sector turmoil, diminished expectations for further Fed tightening, and a softer US dollar. Credit trading generated additional losses as a short protection position in the iTraxx Senior Financial index suffered after credit spreads widened sharply in the wake of the Silicon Valley Bank and Credit Suisse fiascos. Foreign exchange trading provided some partially offsetting Trust gains. While the DXY index traded lower during the month on back of the shift to a more dovish outlook on the US Federal Reserve, a few of the so-called commodity currencies were the exceptions. The Trust profited from short-positions on the Aussie dollar and Norwegian krone, which both traded softer on back of weakness in oil markets.

The Trust was close to unchanged in April.  Commodity and foreign exchange (FX) positions produced gains, while fixed income holdings generated offsetting losses.  Credit and stock holdings had little effect on the Trust. The commodity sector was additive for the Trust during the month.  A long sugar holding produced a significant gain as the soft commodity rallied to an 11-year high on Brazilian supply concerns following above-average rainfall in the region.  Some long energy holdings generated partially offsetting losses amid a mid-month sector-wide selloff that was spurred by recession worries and potentially tighter financial conditions which clouded the outlook for fuel demand. FX trading contributed modest gains in April.  Varied performance in the global FX markets (versus the dollar), coupled with mixed positioning led to negligible sector P&L.  Short positions on the Norwegian krone and Australian dollar, which continued their 2023 weakening trends, resulted in gains for the Trust.  Partially offsetting losses were realized in certain emerging market currencies, where long positioning was a detractor in the risk-off environment. Mixed credit positions produced de minimis gains for the Trust as credit spreads widened alongside the sell-off in other risky assets. Interest rate positions added modest losses to the Trust over the month.  UK Gilts underperformed after data showed inflation remained in the double digits, prompting traders to raise bets on the peak BOE rate, hurting long positioning.  Aussie bonds also contributed to losses after minutes showed the RBA discussed a quarter-point hike before deciding on a pause in April.  Short US Treasury positions generated some partially offsetting gains. Stocks indexes trading was flat for the Trust in April.  Gains were seen from Asian and European stock holdings while US index positions generated offsetting losses as markets weighed the potential higher-for-longer dynamic, the debt ceiling stalemate, renewed banking sector turmoil, and a pickup in growth worries with better than feared earnings and guidance.

The Trust produced a gain during May. Profits came from commodity and foreign exchange (FX) positions, while stock index and interest rates produced some partially offsetting losses. Credit holdings had little impact on the Trust. The commodity sector led Trust gains during the month of May. Short copper positions generated the best sector gains with prices falling to 6-month lows as sentiment soured on the back of China’s disappointing economic recovery and on the stronger US dollar. Additionally, copper stockpiles rebounded from multi-year lows. A short natural gas position also provided gains as the energy dropped amid ample supplies following persistent milder weather in the US. Foreign exchange trading generated additional Trust profits. Despite debt-ceiling concerns in the United States, the US dollar rallied during the month and the Trust’s gains on short Developed Market (DM) positions (versus long the USD) marginally offset the losses incurred in some long Emerging Market (EM) currencies. Shorts in commodity-linked currencies like the Norwegian krone and Australian dollar were the big DM gainers with those FX markets depreciating as oil prices sold off and as China growth concerns increased. Global stock index trading resulted in losses to the Trust. Net-long positioning for much of the month generated losses as recession fears, a ‘higher-for-longer’ stance from many Central Banks, US debt ceiling concerns, and China’s lackluster recovery weighed on sentiment. A strong AI-driven rally following Nvidia’s upbeat earnings and blow-out guidance at month-end capped losses. Interest rate positions were also a negative contributor in May. Long positioning on the UK Gilt led losses as a higher-than-expected UK inflation print put pressure on the Bank of England to continue hiking and caused Gilts to weaken (yields higher). Partially offsetting gains came from Canadian and New Zealand interest rate instruments. Canada’s inflation also came in hotter-than-expected which proved beneficial to short CGB positioning as prices declined. Payer NZD IRS positioning (which is profitable with higher yields) experienced monthly gains as Kiwi yields pushed higher prior to the late May RBNZ meeting.

The Trust produced a loss in June. Losses came from commodity and foreign exchange holdings while interest rate, stock index, and credit positions produced some partially offsetting gains during the month. The commodity sector led Trust losses during the month of June. Energy positions generated the largest sub-sector loss, namely from a short natural gas holding. Futures on natural gas rallied throughout the month as warmer temperatures continued to drive up cooling demand. A short on cocoa futures added to monthly losses as the soft commodity surged on fears heavy rains in major producing countries will disrupt harvests. Foreign exchange trading generated additional Trust losses as short positions in the Developed Market currencies (versus long the USD) more than offset the gains experienced in the Emerging Markets. The dominant story for the USD and monetary policy was that the Fed “skipped” a rate hike at its June meeting while other central banks like the ECB remained focused on tightening. This divergence resulted in the dollar index trading weaker on the month, hurting our net long USD position. Interest rate positions resulted in some offsetting gains in June with the positive P&L being led by short-dated instruments. With the exception of the Federal Reserve, major central banks continued raising rates with several delivering larger-than-expected hikes against a backdrop of better-than-expected economic data and persistent inflation. Short positioning on Euribor and German 2-year bonds benefited as yields rallied (prices fell) in the wake of a 25bps ECB hike and ongoing hawkish commentary from ECB President Lagarde. Short protection positions on the credit indices generated additional gains for the Trust. Credit spreads narrowed amid the broader rally in risk and the Trust benefited as a result. Global stock indexes generated profits for the Trust. Net long positioning on a variety of equity holdings benefited as most major indices finished the month in positive territory. Despite aggressive monetary policy tightening and geopolitical tensions, risk-on sentiment prevailed on optimistic soft-landing expectations and AI sector growth tailwinds.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Introduction

Past Results Not Necessarily Indicative of Future Performance

The Trust is a speculative commodity pool. The market sensitive instruments held by it are acquired for speculative trading purposes, and all or a substantial amount of the Trust’s assets are subject to the risk of trading loss. Unlike an operating company, the risk of market sensitive instruments is integral, not incidental, to the Trust’s main line of business.

Market movements result in frequent changes in the fair market value of the Trust’s open positions and, consequently, in its earnings and cash flow. The Trust’s market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including the level and volatility of exchange rates, interest rates, equity price levels, the market value of financial instruments and contracts, the diversification effects among the Trust’s open positions and the liquidity of the markets in which it trades.

The Trust rapidly acquires and liquidates both long and short positions in a wide range of different markets. Consequently, it is not possible to predict how a particular future market scenario will affect performance, and the Trust’s past performance is not necessarily indicative of its future results.

Quantifying the Trust’s Trading Value at Risk

Quantitative Forward-Looking Statements

The following quantitative disclosures regarding the Trust’s market risk exposures contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor from civil liability provided for such statements by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). All quantitative disclosures in this section are deemed to be forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor, except for statements of historical fact (such as the dollar amount of maintenance margin required for market risk sensitive instruments held at the end of the reporting period).

The Trust’s risk exposure in the various market sectors traded is estimated in terms of Value at Risk (VaR). The Trust estimates VaR using a model based upon historical simulation (with a confidence level of 97.5%) which involves constructing a distribution of hypothetical daily changes in the value of a trading portfolio. The VaR model takes into account linear exposures to risks, including equity and commodity prices, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, credit, and correlation among these variables. The hypothetical changes in portfolio value are based on daily percentage changes observed in key market indices or other market factors to which the portfolio is sensitive. The Trust’s VaR at a one day 97.5% confidence level corresponds to the negative change in portfolio value that, based on observed market risk factors, would have been exceeded once in 40 trading days or one day in 40. VaR typically does not represent the worst case outcome.

The Trust uses approximately one quarter of daily market data and revalues its portfolio for each of the historical market moves that occurred over this time period. This generates a probability distribution of daily “simulated profit and loss” outcomes. The VaR is the 2.5 percentile of this distribution.

The VaR for a sector represents the 2.5 percentile of outcomes for the aggregate exposures associated with that sector alone. The current methodology used to calculate the aggregate VaR represents the VaR of the Trust’s open positions across all market sectors, and is less than the sum of the VaRs for all such market sectors due to the diversification benefit across asset classes.

The Trust’s VaR computations are based on the risk representation of the underlying benchmark for each instrument or contract and does not distinguish between exchange and non-exchange dealer-based instruments. It is also not based on exchange and/or dealer-based maintenance margin requirements.

VaR models, including the Trust’s, are continually evolving as trading portfolios become more diverse and modeling techniques and systems capabilities improve. Please note that the VaR model is used to numerically quantify market risk for historic reporting purposes only and is not utilized by the Trust in its daily risk management activities. Please further note that VaR as described above may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities.

Because the business of the Trust is the speculative trading of futures, forwards, and swaps, the composition of the Trust’s trading portfolio can change significantly over any given time period, or even within a single trading day, which could positively or negatively materially impact market risk as measured by VaR.

Material Limitations of Value at Risk as an Assessment of Market Risk

The following limitations of VaR as an assessment of market risk should be noted:

1)
Past changes in market risk factors will not always result in accurate predictions of the distributions and correlations of future market movements;

2)
Changes in portfolio value caused by market movements may differ from those of the VaR model;

3)
VaR results reflect past trading positions while future risk depends on future positions;

4)
VaR using a one day time horizon does not fully capture the market risk of positions that cannot be liquidated or hedged within one day; and

5)
The historical market risk factor data for VaR estimation may provide only limited insight into losses that could be incurred under certain unusual market movements.

VaR is not necessarily representative of historic risk nor should it be used to predict the Trust’s future financial performance or its ability to manage and monitor risk. There can be no assurance that the Trust’s actual losses on a particular day will not exceed the VaR amounts indicated or that such losses will not occur more than once in 40 trading days.

Non-Trading Risk

The Trust has non-trading market risk on its foreign cash balances not needed for margin. However, these balances (as well as the market risk they represent) are immaterial. The Trust also has non-trading market risk as a result of investing a portion of its available assets in U.S. Treasury Bills held at the broker and over-the-counter counterparty. The market risk represented by these investments is minimal. Finally, the Trust has non-trading market risk on fixed income securities held as part of its cash management program. The cash manager will use its best endeavors in the management of the assets of the Trust but provide no guarantee that any profit or interest will accrue to the Trust as a result of such management.

Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Primary Trading Risk Exposures

The following qualitative disclosures regarding the Trust’s market risk exposures — except for (i) those disclosures that are statements of historical fact and (ii) the descriptions of how the Trust manages its primary market risk exposures — constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act. The Trust’s primary market risk exposures as well as the strategies used and to be used by Campbell & Company for managing such exposures are subject to numerous uncertainties, contingencies and risks, any one of which could cause the actual results of the Trust’s risk controls to differ materially from the objectives of such strategies. Government interventions, defaults and expropriations, illiquid markets, the emergence of dominant fundamental factors, political upheavals, changes in historical price relationships, an influx of new market participants, increased regulation and many other factors could result in material losses as well as in material changes to the risk exposures and the risk management strategies of the Trust. There can be no assurance that the Trust’s current market exposure and/or risk management strategies will not change materially or that any such strategies will be effective in either the short- or long-term. Investors must be prepared to lose all or substantially all of their investment in the Trust.

The following represent the primary trading risk exposures of the Trust as of June 30, 2024 by market sector.

Foreign Exchange

The Trust’s currency exposure is to exchange rate fluctuations, primarily fluctuations which disrupt the historical pricing relationships between different currencies and currency pairs. These fluctuations are influenced by interest rate changes as well as political and general economic conditions. The Trust trades in a large number of currencies, including cross-rates — i.e., positions between two currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Campbell & Company does not anticipate that the risk profile of the Trust’s currency sector will change significantly in the future.

Interest Rates

Interest rate movements directly affect the price of the sovereign bond positions and interest rate swap contracts held by the Trust and indirectly the value of its stock index and currency positions. Interest rate movements in one country as well as relative interest rate movements between countries materially impact the Trust’s profitability. Campbell & Company does not anticipate that the risk profile of the Trust’s interest rate sector will change significantly in the future.

Equity Indices

The Trust’s primary equity exposure is to equity price risk in the G-7 countries as well as Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Spain, Taiwan, Netherlands, India, South Africa and Sweden. The stock index futures traded by the Trust are by law limited to futures on broadly based indices. The Trust is primarily exposed to the risk of adverse price trends or static markets in the major U.S., European and Japanese indices. Markets that trade in a narrow range could result in the Trust’s positions being “whipsawed” into numerous small losses.

Credit

The Trust’s primary credit exposure is through fluctuations in the credit worthiness of a particular reference entity, basket of reference entities, or an index.

Energy

The Trust’s primary energy market exposure is to natural gas, crude oil and derivative product price movements often resulting from international political developments and ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and the perceived outcome. Oil and gas prices can be volatile and substantial profits and losses have been and are expected to continue to be experienced in this market.

Metals

The Trust’s metals market exposure is to fluctuations in the price of aluminum, copper, gold, lead, nickel, palladium, platinum, silver and zinc.

Agricultural

The Trust’s agricultural exposure is to fluctuations of the price of cattle, cocoa, coffee, corn, cotton, hogs, soy, sugar and wheat.

Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Non-Trading Risk Exposure

The following were the primary non-trading risk exposures of the Trust as of June 30, 2024.

Foreign Currency Balances

The Trust’s primary foreign currency balances are in Australian Dollar, British Pounds, Canadian Dollar, Euros, Hong Kong Dollar, Japanese Yen, Singapore Dollar, South African Rand and Swedish Krona. The Trust controls the non-trading risk of these balances by regularly converting these balances back into dollars (no less frequently than twice a month, and more frequently if a particular foreign currency balance becomes unusually large).

Fixed Income Securities and Short Term Investments

The Trust’s primary market exposure in instruments (other than treasury positions described in the subsequent section) held other than for trading is in its fixed income portfolio. The cash manager, PNC, has authority to make certain investments on behalf of the Trust. All securities purchased by the cash manager on behalf of the Trust will be held in the Trust’s custody account at the custodian. The cash manager will use its best endeavors in the management of the assets of the Trust but provides no guarantee that any profit or interest will accrue to the Trust as a result of such management.

U.S. Treasury Bill Positions Held for Margin Purposes

The Trust also has market exposure in its U.S. Treasury Bill portfolio. The Trust holds U.S. Treasury Bills with maturities no longer than six months. Violent fluctuations in prevailing interest rates could cause minimal mark-to-market losses on the Trust’s U.S. Treasury Bills, although substantially all of these short-term investments are held to maturity.

Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Means of Managing Risk Exposure

The means by which the Trust and Campbell & Company, severally, attempt to manage the risk of the Trust’s open positions is essentially the same in all market categories traded. Campbell & Company applies risk management policies to its trading which generally limit the total exposure that may be taken per “risk unit” of assets under management. In addition, Campbell & Company follows diversification guidelines (often formulated in terms of the balanced volatility between markets and correlated groups), as well as reducing position sizes dynamically in response to trading losses.

General

The Trust is unaware of any (i) anticipated known demands, commitments or capital expenditures; (ii) material trends, favorable or unfavorable, in its capital resources; or (iii) trends or uncertainties that will have a material effect on operations. From time to time, certain regulatory agencies have proposed increased margin requirements on futures contracts. Because the Trust generally will use a small percentage of assets as margin, the Trust does not believe that any increase in margin requirements, as proposed, will have a material effect on the Trust’s operations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Campbell & Company, the managing operator of the Trust, with the participation of the managing operator’s chief executive officer and chief operating officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) with respect to the Trust as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on their evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief operating officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective.  There were no changes in the managing operator’s internal control over financial reporting applicable to the Trust identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting applicable to the Trust.
