Becks ----------------------------------------- Theresa D. Becks, Chief Executive Officer Campbell & Company, Inc. Managing Owner Campbell Alternative Asset Trust Prepared without audit Dear Investor, Diversification Helps Limit Losses in a Dramatic Commodity Reversal... In many ways, the commodity markets took center stage in May as the Trust put another volatile month behind. The petroleum complex sold off substantially on May 5th, despite the lack of any oil-related fundamental data. In addition, precious metals saw a significant decline with the price of silver dropping 24%, giving back the entire April rally. While the Trust suffered losses in these sectors, our models significantly reduced long commodity exposure on the abrupt reversal in price action and spike in volatility throughout the month. Trading in global equities also generated losses on softer economic data, Wall Street lowering U.S. growth forecasts, and renewed European sovereign debt concerns mainly focused on Greece. While positions have been reduced in this sector, regional risk was rotated out of Europe and back to the U.S. Losses were also recorded in currency trading as the U.S. Dollar rallied against most major currencies. The Trust's long Euro position produced the biggest currency loss, as the European Central Bank disappointed expectations of rate hikes at its May policy meeting. Fixed income trading produced strong positive results, helping to mitigate losses in riskier assets as the flight-to-quality theme was dominant in May. Once again, a steady risk posture and a discipline centered on diversification helped the Trust navigate a very volatile month for our strategy space. Please do not hesitate to call me with questions. Sincerely, Terri Becks President & CEO Campbell & Company, Inc. Managing Owner Campbell Alternative Asset Trust
