The net asset value of an interest as of June 29, 2001 was $86.18, a decrease of 2.52% from the May 25, 2001 value of $88.41. The year-to-date return for Series C was a decrease of 7.61% as of June 29, 2001. Additionally, the return for the quarterly period from March 31, 2001 to June 29, 2001 was a decrease of 8.57%. Quarterly Market Overview The global economy remained sluggish during the second quarter of 2001 and as a result, U.S. and global stock markets continued their downward trend. In the U.S., heightened concerns regarding cutbacks in industrial production and future sales caused downward revisions of corporate earnings. Business investment and capital spending were weak and appeared to be decreasing further, reflecting in part the downtrend in manufacturing output. Labor demand weakened considerably and unemployment rose. Consumer spending held up relatively well despite deceleration in income, reduced household net worth, and deterioration in consumer sentiment. Economic activity in foreign industrial countries decelerated as well, due in part to softening of the U.S. economy, weakness in world high-tech markets and the downward adjustment in global equity prices. Expansion in Europe, the United Kingdom and Canada slowed significantly, while the Japanese economy slowed after a brief rebound late last year. In addition, economic growth in many developing countries softened, reflecting in part weaker external demand. In the U.S., overall inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), increased slightly, but was held down by a deceleration in energy prices. As a result of weak global economies, equity markets continued to perform poorly during most of the quarter. In April, U.S. equity markets, particularly the NASDAQ, rallied briefly after the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) called an unscheduled meeting to lower interest rates before falling once again amid continuing softening economies and fears of weak corporate earnings. Markets rose briefly once again in June following the U.S. Federal Reserve's 25 basis point interest rate cut. This smaller than anticipated rate reduction seemed to signal a cessation of the Fed's recent series of aggressive rate cuts and caused many investors to exit the bond market and invest in equities. Interest rate instruments trended upward throughout most of the quarter as major central banks cut short-term interest rates in an attempt to bolster slowing economies. The U.S. Federal Reserve cut rates three times during the quarter lowering rates from 4.50% to 3.75%. The European Central Bank and the Bank of England cut interest rates by 25 basis points in May. This was the third interest rate reduction in five months for the Bank of England. Global bonds reversed downward towards quarter-end as the Fed cut rates by only 25 basis points, driving many investors out of interest rate instruments and into equities. In foreign exchange markets, the Japanese yen started the quarter strong before weakening against the U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies. This followed a government report that Japan's GDP shrank in the first quarter, generating fears that the Japanese economy may be slipping into recession. The Canadian dollar posted gains against the U.S. dollar as economic reports showed a 1.7% increase in exports to the U.S. in June. The British pound reached a 15 year low against the U. S. dollar in June amid concern that England would join the European Monetary Union. The euro declined against the U.S. dollar as well, amid signs of continuing weakness in the European economy. Energy prices fell in response to growing inventory levels of crude oil and related products. The American Petroleum Institute reported that the U.S. gasoline supply had reached its highest level in two years. Swelling energy inventories fed fears of an overall weakening demand for fuels in the slowing global economy. Additionally, the market fell when tropical storm Allison caused less damage along the Gulf Coast than was originally feared. Quarterly Performance of Series C The following is a summary of performance for the major sectors in which Series C traded: Index (-): Weak global economies and concerns regarding corporate earnings resulted in continued poor performance in the equity markets. Hong Kong Hang Seng, Nikkei Dow and DAX positions resulted in losses for Series C. Currency (-): The euro declined against the U.S. dollar, Swiss franc and other foreign currencies amid fears of weakening European economies resulting in losses for long euro positions and short Swiss franc positions. Interest rate (-): Prices of most interest rate instruments trended upward throughout most of the quarter due to short-term interest rate cuts by major central banks in an attempt to bolster slowing economies. Short positions in Japanese government and eurodollar bonds resulted in losses for the Series C. Energy (+): Short natural gas positions resulted in gains as increased inventories and weakening demand drove prices downward. The estimated net asset value per interest as of July 31, 2001 was $85.78. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
