The Frontier Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

As of June 30, 2009 (Unaudited)

1. Organization

The Frontier Fund (the “Trust”), was formed as a Delaware statutory trust on August 8, 2003, with separate Series of Units. Its term will expire on December 31, 2053 (unless terminated earlier in certain circumstances). The Trust is a multi-advisor commodity pool as described in Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or CFTC Regulation § 4.10(d)(2).

The Trust has eleven (11) separate and distinct Series of Units issued and outstanding: Frontier Diversified Series, Frontier Dynamic Series, Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series, Frontier Masters Series, Balanced Series, Campbell/Graham/Tiverton Series, Currency Series, Long Only Commodity Series, Managed Futures Index Series, Winton Series and Winton/Graham Series (each a “Series” and collectively, the “Series”). The Trust may issue additional Series of Units. The Units of each Series are separated into three or six sub-classes of Units. The Trust, with respect to each Series:

 

   

engages in the speculative trading of a diversified portfolio of futures, forward (including interbank foreign currencies), options contracts and other derivative instruments (including swap contracts) may, from time to time, engage in cash and spot transactions;

 

   

allocates funds to a subsidiary limited liability trading company or companies (“Trading Company”). Except as otherwise described in these notes, each Trading Company has one-year renewable contracts with its own independent commodity trading advisor(s), or each, a Trading Advisor, that will manage all or a portion of such Trading Company’s assets, make the trading decisions for the assets of each Series vested in such Trading Company. Each Trading Company will segregate its assets from any other Trading Company;

 

   

maintains separate, distinct records for each Series, and accounts for the assets of each Series separately from the other Series and the other Trust assets;

 

   

calculates the Net Asset Value (“NAV”) of its Units separately from the other Series;

 

   

has an investment objective of increasing the value of each Series’ Units over the long term (capital appreciation), while controlling risk and volatility; further, to offer exposure to the investment programs of individual Trading Advisors and to specific instruments (currencies); and

 

   

maintains each Series of Units in three or six sub-classes—Class 1, Class 1a, Class 2, Class 2a, Class 3, and Class 3a. Investors who have purchased Class 1 or Class 1a Units of any Series are charged a service fee of up to three percent (3.0%) annually of the NAV of each Unit purchased, for the benefit of Selling Agents selling such Class 1 or Class 1a Units. Equinox Fund Management, LLC (the “Managing Owner”), prepays the initial service fee which is amortized monthly at an annual rate of up to three percent (3.0%) of the average daily NAV of Class 1 or Class 1a of such Series; provided, however, that investors who redeem all or a portion of their Class 1 or Class 1a Units of any Series during the first twelve (12) months following the effective date of their purchase are subject to a redemption fee of up to three percent (3.0%) of the NAV at which such investor redeemed to reimburse the Managing Owner for the then-unamortized balance of the prepaid initial service fee. With respect to Class 2 and Class 2a Units of any Series, the Managing Owner pays an ongoing service fee to Selling Agents of up to one half percent (0.5%) annually of the NAV of each Class 2 or Class 2a Unit sold until such Class 2 or Class 2a Units which are subject to the fee limitation are exchanged for Class 3 or Class 3a Units of the applicable Series. The Managing Owner may also pay Selling Agents certain additional fees and expenses for administrative and other services rendered and expenses incurred by such Selling Agents.

 

25


Table of Contents
   

All payments made to Selling Agents who are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) and their associated persons that constitute underwriting compensation will be subject to the limitations set forth in NASD Rule 2810(b)(4)(B)(ii) of the Conduct Rules of FINRA (“Rule 2810”). Class 3 Units of any Series, or Class 3a Units of the Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series or Balanced Series, will be issued in exchange for an investor’s Class 1 Units or Class 2 Units of such Series, or Class 1a Units or Class 2a Units of the Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series or Balanced Series, as applicable, when the Managing Owner determines that the fee limitation set forth in Rule 2810 with respect to such Units has been reached or will be reached. No service fees are paid with respect to Class 3 or Class 3a Units.

 

   

Units of any Class in a Series may be redeemed, in whole or in part, on a daily basis, at the then current NAV per Unit for such Series on the day of the week after the date the Managing Owner is in receipt of a redemption request for at least one (1) Business Day to be received by the Managing Owner prior to 4:00 PM in New York.

As of June 30, 2009, the total Units outstanding of each Series of the Trust was 550 with respect to the Frontier Diversified Series, 550 with respect to the Frontier Dynamic Series, 601,258 with respect to the Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series, 550 with respect to the Frontier Masters Series, 3,275,190 with respect to the Balanced Series, 793,931 with respect to the Campbell/Graham/Tiverton Series, 142,336 with respect to the Currency Series, 58,472 with respect to the Long Only Commodity Series, 35,765 with respect to the Managed Futures Index Series, 531,273 with respect to the Winton Series, and 567,484 with respect to the Winton/Graham Series. As of June 30, 2009, the Trust, with respect to the Frontier Diversified Series, Frontier Dynamic Series, Frontier Masters Series, Campbell/Graham/Tiverton Series, Currency Series, Long Only Commodity Series, Managed Futures Index Series, Winton Series and Winton/Graham Series separates Units into three separate Classes – Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3. The Trust, with respect to the Balanced Series, and Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series separates Units into six separate Classes – Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, Class 1a, Class 2a and Class 3a. It is expected that between 10% and 30% of each Series’ assets normally will be invested in one or more Trading Companies to be committed as margin for trading positions, but from time to time these percentages may be substantially more or less. The remainders of each Series’ assets are maintained at the Trust level for cash management.

As of June 30, 2009, each of the Frontier Dynamic Series, Long Only Commodity Series, Managed Futures Index Series and Winton Series has invested a portion of its assets in a single Trading Company, and a single Trading Advisor manages 100% of the assets invested in each such Trading Company, except the Trading Company for the Frontier Dynamic Series and for the Long Only Commodity Series allocate assets only to Swaps. The Currency Series invests a portion of its assets in a single Trading Company, which allocates assets to one Trading Advisor and one Swap. The Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series invests its assets in a single Trading Company and has multiple Trading Advisors that manage the assets invested in such Trading Company. Each of the Frontier Diversified Series, Frontier Masters Series, Balanced Series, Campbell/Graham/Tiverton Series, and Winton/Graham Series has invested a portion of its assets in several different Trading Companies and has multiple Trading Advisors that manage the assets invested in such Trading Companies. Trading Advisors are responsible for the trading decisions of the respective Trading Companies for which they trade. It is expected that between 10% and 30% of each Series’ assets normally will be invested in one or more Trading Companies to be committed as margin for trading positions but from time to time these percentages may be substantially more or less. The remainders of each Series’ assets are maintained at the Trust level for cash management.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

which a Series does not have a controlling or majority interest are carried in the statement of financial condition of such Series at fair value. Fair value represents the proportionate share of the equity of a Series in a Trading Company.

The consolidated financial statements of the Frontier Dynamic Series include the assets, liabilities and earnings of its wholly-owned trading company, Frontier Trading Company XII, LLC.

The consolidated financial statements of the Currency Series include the assets, liabilities and earnings of its wholly owned trading company, Frontier Trading Company III LLC.

The consolidated financial statements of the Long Only Commodity Series include the assets, liabilities and earnings of its wholly-owned trading company, Frontier Trading Company VIII, LLC.

The Winton Series consolidated financial statements included the assets, liabilities and earnings of its majority owned Frontier Trading Company II LLC until May 29, 2009, due to additional assets allocated by other Series to the trading company, resulting in Winton Series becoming a minority owner and deconsolidating as of that date.

The consolidated financial statements of the Winton/Graham Series include the assets, liabilities and earnings of its majority-owned trading company, Frontier Trading Company V LLC commencing April 23, 2009 when it allocated additional assets to become majority owner.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—Cash and cash equivalents include cash and overnight investments in interest-bearing demand deposits with banks and cash managers with maturities of three months or less. The Trust maintains deposits with high quality financial institutions in amounts that are in excess of federally insured limits. Aggregate interest income from all sources, including assets held at clearing brokers, up to two percentage points of the aggregate percentage yield (annualized) is paid to the Managing Owner by the Balanced Series (Class 1 and Class 2 only), Campbell/Graham/Tiverton Series, Currency Series, Winton Series and Winton/Graham Series. For the Frontier Diversified Series, Frontier Dynamic Series, Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series, Frontier Masters Series, Balanced Series (Class 1a, Class 2a and Class 3a only), Long Only Commodity Series and Managed Futures Index Series, 20% of the total interest allocated to each Series is paid to the Managing Owner. Any excess is accrued as income allocated to these Series in proportion to their daily NAV, including inter-Series advances.

Certificates of Deposit—Certificates of deposit include interest-bearing instruments issued by U.S Bank National Association, have maturities greater than three months and interest is paid at maturity. Certificates of Deposit are allocated to each Series based on their percentage ownership in the pooled cash management assets on the date of the asset purchase. A portion of the certificates of deposit were allocated to the Frontier Diversified Series, the Frontier Dynamic Series and the Frontier Masters Series in proportion to and as a part of the inter-series advance from the Balanced Series upon the commencement of trading for such Series. The Trust values the certificates of deposit at face value plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value, and reports these instruments as Level 2 inputs under SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements.

Table of Contents

Custom Time Deposits—Custom time deposits are structured deposit agreements with U.S. Bank National Association that earn a guaranteed fixed interest rate of 3.75% and will mature six months from the deposit date and are subject to automatic six-month rollovers through October 2013. Interest is paid monthly or at least every six months. Unscheduled withdrawals will be subject to certain penalties and other costs of the amount deposited if withdrawn before the maturity date. The withdrawal fee is set a 0.225% for the period from six months to one year subsequent to the deposit date and decreases by .05% increments for each year thereafter through the maturity date. Custom time deposits are allocated to each Series based on their percentage ownership in the pooled cash management assets on the date of the asset purchase. A portion of the custom time deposits were allocated to the Frontier Diversified Series, the Frontier Dynamic Series and the Frontier Masters Series in proportion to and as a part of the inter-series advance from Balanced Series upon the commencement of trading for such Series. The Trust values the custom time deposits at face value plus accrued interest as it is considered a deposit account under paragraph 7.23 of the Investment Company Audit Guide, and accordingly, this deposit is not subject to fair value measurements under SFAS 157.

Payable to Other Series—Each of the Series has invested monies into pooled cash management assets from which purchases were made for certificates of deposit, custom time deposits and U.S. Treasury securities. Each Series’ ownership in these investments is based on its percentage ownership in the pooled cash management assets on the date of their purchase, except that a portion of these investments were allocated to the Frontier Diversified Series, the Frontier Dynamic Series and the Frontier Masters Series in proportion to and as a part of the inter-series advance from the Balanced Series upon the commencement of trading for such Series. Because these investments were fixed, subsequent withdrawals of cash from these pooled cash management assets by some Series has resulted in a negative cash position or a “Payable to Other Series.” These payables will be settled with either an additional investment in the cash management pool by the Series with the deficiency of cash, or when the underlying investments are liquidated, or both.

Receivable From Futures Commission Merchants—The Trust deposits assets with a broker subject to CFTC Commission regulations and various exchange and broker requirements. Margin requirements are satisfied by the deposit of cash with such broker. The Trust earns interest income on its assets deposited with the broker.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Managing Owner to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue recognition—Futures, options on futures, forward and swap contracts are recorded on a trade date basis and realized gains or losses are recognized when contracts are liquidated. Unrealized gains or losses on open contracts (the difference between contract trade price and market price) are reported in the statement of financial condition as a net unrealized gain or loss, as there exists a right of offset of unrealized gains or losses in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 39—”Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts.” Any change in net unrealized gain or loss from the preceding period is reported in the statement of operations. Fair value of exchange-traded contracts is based upon exchange settlement prices. Fair value of non-exchange-traded contracts is based on third party quoted dealer values on the Interbank market. For U.S Treasury Securities, interest is recognized in the period earned and the instruments are marked-to-market daily based on third party information. Certificates of Deposit and Custom Time Deposits are valued at face value plus accrued interest and the interest income is recognized in the period earned. Transaction costs are recognized as incurred and reflected separately in the Statement of Operations.

Allocation of Earnings—Each Series of the Trust maintains three or six classes of Units—Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, Class 1a, Class 2a and Class 3a). All classes have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except that fees charged to a Class or Series differ as described below. Revenues, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized trading profits and losses of each Series are allocated daily to Class 1, Class 1a, Class 2, Class 2a, Class 3 and Class 3a Units based on each Classes’ relative owners’ capital balance.

Each Series allocates funds to a subsidiary Trading Company, or Companies, of the Trust. Each Trading Company allocates all of its daily trading profits or losses to the Series in proportion to each Series’ ownership interest in the Trading Company, adjusted on a daily basis. As of June 30, 2009, the value of all open contracts and cash held at clearing brokers is similarly allocated to the Series in proportion to each Series’ funds allocated to the Trading Company, or Companies.

Inter-Series Receivables/Payables—The Balanced Series, in order to make investments in the Currency Series, Frontier Diversified Series, Frontier Dynamic Series and Frontier Masters Series, for purposes of diversification of investments and trading advisors through the investee Series’ access to trading companies in which the Balanced Series does not have a direct interest, advances funds to such Series. The amount of the funds advanced by the Balanced Series to each of the Currency Series, Frontier Diversified Series, Frontier Dynamic Series and Frontier Masters Series participates on a pari passu basis with the Class 2 Units of such investee Series. The Balanced Series and investee Series reflect the changes in values of these investments as “Net change in inter-series receivables/payables” in the Statement of Operations. The Balanced Series is subject to the same allocations of income and fees as the Limited Owners of such Series. As a result of fees charged by the investee Series, fees are not charged by the Balanced Series on the capital allocated to investments in affiliated Series, and the Managing Owner monitors such allocations so that aggregate fees of the investee Series on the Balanced Series investments do not exceed the allowable fees of the Balanced Series as provided in the Trust’s Prospectus. Pertaining to interest credited to the investee Series, interest is not credited to the Balanced Series on the capital allocated to its inter-series advances to avoid the duplication of interest.

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 statement 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.

Investments and Swaps—The Trust records investment transactions on trade date and all investments are recorded at fair value in its financial statements, with changes in fair value reported as a component of realized and unrealized gains/(losses) on investments in the Statements of Operations. Generally, fair values will be based on quoted market prices; however, in certain circumstances, significant judgments and estimates may be required in determining fair value in the absence of an active market closing price. At June 30, 2009 all investments in futures and forward contracts were based on quoted market prices. The valuation of investments in swap contracts (“Swaps”) involves estimates.

Estimates—The Managing Owner may make judgments that can frequently require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. The Managing Owner provides a good faith estimate of the daily NAV for each Series based on such uncertain information. The Managing Owner’s good faith estimates of each Series’ NAV is published daily by the Trust and is used for subscriptions, redemptions and exchanges of all Trust Units, and such Unit transactions are final and not subject to subsequent adjustment unless the estimate of NAV varies from the actual NAV by more than one percent (1.0%) of the actual NAV as described within the Prospectus.

Income Taxes—The Trust applies the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Trust’s financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions with respect to tax at the Trust’s level not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Managing Owner has concluded there is no tax expense, interest or penalties to be recorded by the Trust for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. The 2005 through 2008 tax years generally remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and most state tax authorities.

In the opinion of the Managing Owner, (i) the Trust is treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes and, assuming that at least 90% of the gross income of the Trust constitutes “qualifying income” within the meaning of Section 7704(d) of the Code, the Trust is not a publicly traded partnership treated as a corporation, and (ii) the discussion set forth in the Prospectus under the heading “Federal Income Tax Consequences” correctly summarizes the material Federal income tax consequences as of the date of the Prospectus to potential U.S. Limited Owners of the purchase, ownership and disposition of Units of the Trust.

Fees and Expenses—All management fees, incentive fees, and service fees of the Trust are paid to the Managing Owner. Additionally, the trading fees are paid to the Managing Owner. It is the responsibility of the Managing Owner to pay all Trading Advisor management and incentive fees, as well as all other operating expenses and continuing offering costs of the Trust. Incentive fees are recorded on the books of the relevant Series from estimates

 

29


Table of Contents

and are subsequently trued up to actual before being paid to the Trading Advisors. Any differences are then recorded on the Series books in the subsequent month. Therefore, in a period in which no incentive fees are earned, a negative incentive fee expense is sometimes reported, which is the result of an adjustment of a prior period.

Service Fees—Investors who have purchased Class 1 or Class 1a Units of any Series are charged a service fee of up to three percent (3.0%) annually of the NAV of each Unit purchased, for the benefit of Selling Agents selling such Class 1 or Class 1a Units. The Managing Owner, prepays the initial service fee which is amortized monthly at an annual rate of up to three percent (3.0%) of the average daily NAV of Class 1 or Class 1a of such Series; provided, however, that investors who redeem all or a portion of their Class 1 or Class 1a Units of any Series during the first twelve (12) months following the effective date of their purchase are subject to a redemption fee of up to three percent (3.0%) of the NAV at which such investor redeemed to reimburse the Managing Owner for the then-unamortized balance of the prepaid initial service fee. With respect to Class 2 and Class 2a Units of any Series, the Managing Owner pays an ongoing service fee to Selling Agents of up to one half percent (0.5%) annually of the NAV of each Class 2 or Class 2a Unit sold until such Class 2 or Class 2a Units which are subject to the fee limitation are exchanged for Class 3 or Class 3a Units of the applicable Series. The Managing Owner may also pay Selling Agents certain additional fees and expenses for administrative and other services rendered and expenses incurred by such Selling Agents.

All payments made to Selling Agents who are members of FINRA and their associated persons that constitute underwriting compensation will be subject to the limitations set forth in Rule 2810. Class 3 Units of any Series, or Class 3a Units of the Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series or Balanced Series, will be issued in exchange for an investor’s Class 1 Units or Class 2 Units of such Series, or Class 1a Units or Class 2a Units of the Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series or Balanced Series, as applicable, when the Managing Owner determines that the fee limitation set forth in Rule 2810 with respect to such Units has been reached or will be reached. No service fees are paid with respect to Class 3 or Class 3a Units.

These service fees are part of the offering costs of the Trust, which include registration and filing fees, legal and blue sky expenses, accounting and audit, printing, marketing support and other offering costs which are born by the Managing Owner. With respect to the service fees, the initial service fee (for the first 12 months) relating to a purchase of Class 1 and Class 1a Units by an investor is prepaid by the Managing Owner to the relevant selling agent in the month following such purchase and is reimbursed for such payment by the Series monthly in arrears in an amount based upon a corresponding percentage of NAV, calculated daily. Consequently, the Managing Owner bears the risk of the downside and enjoys the benefit of the upside potential of any difference between the amount of the initial service fee prepaid by it and the amount of the reimbursement thereof, which may result from variations in NAV over the following 12 months.

Pending Owner Additions—Funds received for new subscriptions and for additions to existing owner interests are recorded as capital additions at the NAV per unit of the second business day following receipt.

Statement of Cash Flows—The Trust has elected not to provide statements of cash flows as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 102, Statements of Cash Flows – Exemption of Certain Enterprises and Classification of Cash Flows from Certain Securities Acquired for Resale.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements—In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB Statement No. 51 (“SFAS 160”), to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary, which is sometimes referred to as minority interest, is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as a component of equity in the consolidated financial statements. Among other requirements, SFAS 160 requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the non-controlling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated income statement, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest. SFAS 160 became effective on January 1, 2009.

In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161, Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve transparency in financial reporting by requiring enhanced disclosures of an entity’s derivative instruments and

Table of Contents

hedging activities and their effects on the entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 applies to all derivative instruments within the scope of SFAS No. 133. It also applies to non-derivative hedging instruments and all hedged items designated and qualifying as hedges under SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 161 amends the current qualitative and quantitative disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities set forth in SFAS No. 133 and generally increases the level of disaggregation that will be required in an entity’s financial statements. SFAS No. 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk related contingent features in derivative agreements. The provisions of SFAS No. 161 is effective prospectively for the Trust’s consolidated financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.

In October 2008, the FASB issued Staff Positions No. 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market is Not Active (“FSP 157-3”). FSP 157-3 provides an illustrative example of how to determine the fair value of financial instruments in an inactive market. FSP 157-3 does not change the fair value measurement principles set forth in SFAS 157. Since adopting SFAS 157 in January 2008, the Trust’s process for determining the fair value of its investments has been, and continues to be, consistent with the guidance provided in FSP 157-3. As a result, the adoption of FSP 157-3 did not affect the Trust’s process for determining the fair value of its investments and did not have a material impact on the Trust’s results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions that are Not Orderly” (“FSP FAS 157-4”). Under FSP FAS 157-4, if an entity determines that there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or the liability in relation to the normal market activity for the asset or liability (or similar assets or liabilities), then transactions or quoted prices may not accurately reflect fair value. In addition, if there is evidence that the transaction for the asset or liability is not orderly; the entity shall place little, if any weight on that transaction price as an indicator of fair value. FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Trust has elected to adopt FSP FAS 157-4 effective for the quarter ending June 30, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 did not have a material impact on the Trust’s financial position or results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB staff issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (“FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1”). This FSP amends FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial statements as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP also amends Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require these disclosures in all interim financial statements. The provisions of FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 became effective for the Trust on April 1, 2009, the Trust, however, has been applying fair value to all financial instruments on either daily or weekly frequency to meet the daily valuation requirement of the Trust to deliver a daily per unit net asset value, thus these provisions did not have a material impact on the Trust’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 165, Subsequent Events (“FAS 165”). The provisions of FAS 165 set forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may have occurred for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The provisions of FAS 165 became effective for the Trust on April 1, 2009, are being applied prospectively beginning in the second quarter of 2009 and did not have a material impact on the Trust’s financial position or results of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements—In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (SFAS 168). The FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (the “Codification”) will be the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP. The Codification will launch on July 1, 2009 and will be effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Codification is not expected to change U.S. GAAP, but will combine all authoritative standards into a comprehensive, topically organized online database. After the Codification launch on July 1, 2009 only one level of authoritative GAAP will exist, other than guidance issued by the SEC. All other accounting literature excluded from the Codification will be considered non-authoritative. The Codification will have an impact to the Trust’s financial statement disclosures since all future references to authoritative accounting literature will be references in accordance with the Codification.

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an amendment of SFAS No. 140 (“SFAS 166”). The provisions of SFAS 166 amends SFAS No. 140 to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The recognition and measurement provisions of this Statement shall be applied to transfers that occur on or after the effective date. The Trust is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of SFAS 166 on the Trust’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (“SFAS 167”). The provisions of SFAS 167 amends certain requirements of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and to provide more relevant and reliable information to users of financial statements. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The Trust is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of SFAS 167 on the Trust’s consolidated financial statements.

In applying these policies, the Managing Owner may make judgments that may require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.

Reclassification—Certain amounts in the financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2009 presentation.

3. Fair Value Measurements

Effective January 1, 2008, the Trust adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” for financial assets. The Trust utilizes valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach per the requirement of SFAS 157. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets. The Trust applies the valuation techniques in a consistent manner for each asset. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the financial asset based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the financial asset based on the best information available in the circumstances. In addition, the Trust monitors counterparty credit risk and incorporates any identified risk factors when assigning input levels to underlying financial assets or liabilities. In that regard, SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical financial assets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 Inputs

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical financial assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 Inputs

Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the financial assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar financial assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar financial assets in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the financial asset or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.

 

32


Table of Contents

Level 3 Inputs

Unobservable inputs for determining the fair value of financial assets that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the financial asset.

The Trust uses the following methodologies to value instruments within its financial asset portfolio at fair value:

Trading Securities. These instruments include U.S. Treasury Securities and Open Trade Equity Positions (Futures Contracts and Currency Forwards) that are actively traded on public markets with quoted pricing for corroboration. U.S. Treasury Securities, Futures Contracts, and Currency Forward are reported at fair value using Level 1 inputs. Trading Securities instruments further include Open Trade Equity that are quoted prices for identical or similar assets that are not traded on active markets. Trading Options are reported at fair value using Level 2 inputs

Swap Contracts. Certain Swap Contracts are reported utilizing Level 2 inputs. These Swap Contracts are reported at fair value based on daily reports from the swap counterparty that may be corroborated against independent valuation/rate of return information published and available on a daily recurring frequency. Other Swap Contracts are reported utilizing Level 3 Inputs. These Swap Contracts are reported at fair value based upon returns/values that are provided on less than a daily frequency from the swap counterparty, require additional internal financial modeling to develop pricing, and these swaps may not be corroborated against independent valuation/rate of return information published and available on a daily recurring frequency.

Certificates of Deposit. These instruments are time deposits with maturities of greater than three months issued by a banking institution. Management values the certificates of deposit at face value plus accrued interest and reports these instruments as Level 2 inputs. Certificates of deposits are allocated to each Series based on their percentage ownership in the pooled cash management assets on the date of the asset purchase.

Investment in Unconsolidated Trading Companies. This investment represents the fair value of the allocation of net assets, consisting of futures, forwards and options, to each respective Series relative to its trading allocations to unconsolidated Trading Companies.

The following table summarizes the instruments that comprise the Trust’s financial asset portfolio, by Series, measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2009, segregated by the level of valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value: The Trust, under the same management as the Trading Companies, has the benefit of full look through to the assets underlying the positions listed in the following table as “Investment in Unconsolidated Trading Companies”, and as such maintains this line item as the same Level 1 input as all of the underlying positions on the financial statements of the Trading Companies.

4. Swaps

In addition to authorizing Trading Advisors to manage pre-determined investment levels of futures and forward contracts, certain Series of the Trust will strategically invest a portion or all of their assets in total return Swaps, selected at the direction of the Managing Owner. Swaps are privately negotiated contracts designed to provide investment returns linked to those produced by one or more investment products or indices. In a typical Swap, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on one or more particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are calculated with respect to a “notional amount” (i.e., the amount or value of the underlying asset used in computing the particular interest rate, return, or other amount to be exchanged) in a particular investment, or in a “basket” of securities.

Each Series’ investment in Swaps will likely differ substantially over time due to cash flows, portfolio management decisions and market movements. For the Balanced Series, Currency Series, Frontier Diversified Series and Frontier Masters Series, the Swaps serve to diversify the investment holdings of each Series and to provide access to programs and advisors that would not be otherwise available to the Series, and are not used for hedging purposes.

The Managing Owner follows a procedure in selecting well-established financial institutions which the Managing Owner, in its sole discretion, considers to be reputable, reliable, financially responsible and well established to act as swap counterparties. The procedure includes due diligence review of documentation on all new and existing financial institution counterparties prior to initiation of the relationship, and quarterly ongoing review during the relationship, to ensure that counterparties meet the Managing Owner’s minimum credit requirements, the counterparty average rating being no less than an investment grade rating as defined by the rating agencies. As of June 30, 2009, approximately 10.9% of the Trust’s assets were deposited with over-the-counter counterparties in order to initiate and maintain Swaps.

The Balanced Series, Currency Series, Frontier Diversified Series, Frontier Dynamic Series and Frontier Masters Series strategically invest assets in one or more Swaps linked to certain underlying investments or indices at the direction of the Managing Owner. The Trading Company in which the assets of these Series will be invested will not own any of the investments or indices referenced by any Swap entered into by these Series. In addition, neither the swap counterparty to the Trading Company of these Series nor any advisor referenced by any such Swap is a Trading Advisor to these Series.

The Long Only Commodity Series, through the Trading Company in which the assets of the Long Only Commodity Series have been allocated, have entered into various Swaps with one or more swap counterparties. The Swaps enable the Long Only Commodity Series to earn returns similar to returns (less the fees and expenses of the Long Only Commodities Series, including the expenses associated with the Swaps) of the Reuters/Jefferies CRB Index (the “RJ/CRB Index”), and the Jefferies Commodity Performance Index (the “JCPI”). Specifically, the Trading Company, which will hold the assets allocable to the Long Only Commodity Series, will enter into Swaps linked to the RJ/CRB Index and the JCPI at the direction of the Managing Owner.

The Trust has invested in the following Swaps as of June 30, 2009:

6. Transactions with Affiliates

The Managing Owner contributes funds to the Trust in order to have a 1% interest in the aggregate capital, profits and losses of all Series and in return will receive units designated as general units in the Series in which the Managing Owner invests such funds. The general units may only be purchased by the Managing Owner and may be subject to no advisory fees or advisory fees at reduced rates. Otherwise, the general units hold the same rights as the limited units. The Managing Owner is required to maintain at least a 1% interest (“Minimum Purchase Commitment”) in the aggregate capital, profits and losses of all Series so long as it is acting as the Managing Owner of the Trust. Such contribution was made by the Managing Owner before trading commenced for the Trust and will be maintained throughout the existence of the Trust, and the Managing Owner will make such purchases as are necessary to effect this requirement. Additionally, the Managing Owner agreed with certain regulatory bodies to maintain a 1% interest specifically in the Balanced Series Class 1a Units and Balanced Series Class 2a Units, aggregated, and each of the Long Only Commodity Series, Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series, Managed Futures Index Series, Frontier Diversified Series, Frontier Dynamic Series and Frontier Masters Series. The 1% interest in these specific Series is included in computing the Minimum Purchase Commitment in aggregate capital. In addition to the General Units the Managing Owner receives in respect of its Minimum Purchase Commitment, the Managing Owner may purchase Limited Units in any Series as a Limited Owner. Principals of the Managing Owner or affiliates are allowed to own beneficial interests in the Trust, as well. All Units purchased by the Managing Owner are held for investment purposes only and not for resale. The Managing Owner may make purchases or redemptions at any time on the same terms as any Limited Owner. The Trust has and will continue to have certain relationships with the Managing Owner and its affiliates.

The Balanced Series, in order to make investments in the Currency Series, Frontier Diversified Series, Frontier Dynamic Series and Frontier Masters Series, advances funds to such Series, for the purpose of investing in the respective Trading Company for such Series on behalf of the Balanced Series.

The following table summarizes the Balanced Series advances to and reductions from the Currency Series, Frontier Diversified Series, Frontier Dynamic Series and Frontier Masters Series of the Trust for the six months ending June 30, 2009.

Each Series of Units pays to the Managing Owner a monthly management fee equal to a certain percentage of such Series’ assets, calculated on a daily basis. The annual rate of the management fee is 0.5% for the Balanced Series, 2.0% for the Winton Series, Currency Series, Long Only Commodity Series, Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series Class 1a and Class 2a, Managed Futures Index Series, Frontier Diversified Series, Frontier Dynamic Series and Frontier Masters Series, 2.5% for the Winton/Graham Series and Campbell/Graham/Tiverton Series, and 3.5% for the Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series Class 1 and Class 2. The Managing Owner may pay all or a portion of such management fees to the Trading Advisor(s) for such Series.

In connection with each Series’ trading activities, each Series of Units pays to the Managing Owner a monthly trading fee of up to 0.75% of such Series’ NAV annually.

Some Series pay to the Managing Owner an incentive fee of a certain percentage of new net trading profits generated by such Series, monthly or quarterly. Because the Balanced Series, Winton/Graham Series, Campbell/Graham/Tiverton Series, Currency Series and Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series may each employ multiple Trading Advisors, these Series will pay the Managing Owner a monthly incentive fee calculated on a Trading Advisor by Trading Advisor basis. It is therefore possible that in any given period the Balanced Series or the Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series may pay incentive fees to the Managing Owner for one or more Trading Advisors while each of these Series as a whole experiences losses. The incentive fee is 25% for the Balanced Series and the Frontier Diversified Series and 20% for the Winton Series Currency Series, Winton/Graham Series Campbell/Graham/Tiverton Series, Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series, Frontier Dynamic Series and Frontier Masters Series. There is no incentive fee for the Long Only Commodity Series or the Managed Futures Index Series. The Managing Owner may pay all or a portion of such incentive fees to the Trading Advisor(s) for such Series.

In addition, with respect to Class 1 and Class 1a Units of each Series, as applicable, the Series pays monthly or quarterly to the Managing Owner a service fee at an annualized rate, as described in more detail above, which the Managing Owner pays to selling agents of the Trust.

The following table summarizes fees earned by the Managing Owner for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

With respect to the service fees, the initial service fee (for the first 12 months) relating to a sale of the Units is prepaid by the Managing Owner (with reimbursements made to the Managing Owner by each Series) and paid to the selling agents by the Managing Owner in the month following the sale. Since the Managing Owner is prepaying the initial service fee for the first year and is being reimbursed for such payment by the Series monthly in arrears based upon a corresponding percentage of NAV, it bears the risk of the downside and enjoys the benefit of the upside potential of any difference between the amount of the initial service fee prepaid by it and the amount of the reimbursement thereof which may result from variations in NAV over the following 12 months. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, due to variations in NAVs, amounts paid or payable to the Managing Owner for the difference in monthly service fees from the prepaid initial service fees was $45,654 for the Balanced Series, $5,649 for the Winton/Graham Series, $11,363 for the Campbell/Graham/Tiverton Series, $948 for the Managed Futures Index Series and $7,644 for the Winton Series. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, amounts received or receivable from the Managing Owner for the difference in monthly service fees from prepaid initial service fees was $2,964 for the Currency Series, $5,105 from the Long Only Commodity Series and $8,214 from the Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series.

Aggregate interest income from all sources, including assets held at clearing brokers, up to 2% (annualized) is paid to the Managing Owner by the Balanced Series (Class 1 and Class 2 only), Winton Series, Campbell/Graham/Tiverton Series, Currency Series and Winton/Graham Series. In addition, if interest rates fall below 0.75% (calculated daily based on each Series’ NAV), the Managing Owner will be paid the difference between the Trust’s annualized interest income allocated to the foregoing Series and 0.75%. For the Balanced Series (Class 1a and Class 2a only), Long Only Commodity Series, Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series, Managed Futures Index Series, Frontier Diversified Series, Frontier Dynamic Series and Frontier Masters Series, 20% of the total interest allocated to each Series is paid to the Managing Owner. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Trust paid $5,452,455 of such interest income to the Managing Owner.

The Managing Owner pays to The Bornhoft Group Corporation, an affiliate of the Trust, a monthly fee of 0.25% (annualized) of the NAV of the Trust, for services in connection with the daily valuation of each Series and Class. The amount paid under this agreement was $834,601 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Additionally, The Bornhoft Group Corporation provides office space to the Managing Owner, prorates office expenses, and advances certain direct expenses on behalf of the Managing Owner. Under this agreement, the Managing Owner reimbursed The Bornhoft Group Corporation $260,766 for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

9. Trading Activities and Related Risks

The purchase and sale of futures and options on futures contracts require margin deposits with Futures Commission Merchants (each, an “FCM”). Additional deposits may be necessary for any loss on contract value. The Commodity Exchange Act requires an FCM to segregate all customer transactions and assets from the FCM’s proprietary activities. A customer’s cash and other property (for example, U.S. Treasury bills) deposited with an FCM are considered commingled with all other customer funds subject to the FCM’s segregation requirements. In the event of an FCM’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 the total of cash and other property deposited.

The term “off-balance sheet risk” refers to an unrecorded potential liability that, even though it does not appear on the Statement of Financial Condition, may result in future obligation or loss in excess of the amount paid by the Series for a particular investment. Each Trading Company expects to trade in futures, options, forward and swap contracts and will therefore be a party to financial instruments with elements of off-balance sheet market and credit risk. In entering into these contracts, there exists a 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 positions held by a Trading Company in respect of any Series at the same time, and if the Trading Advisor(s) of such Trading Company are unable to offset such futures interests positions, such Trading Company could lose all of its assets and the holders of Units of such Series would realize a 100% loss. The Managing Owner will seek to minimize market risk through real-time monitoring of open positions and the level of diversification of each Trading Advisor’s portfolio. It is anticipated that any Trading Advisor’s margin-to-equity ratio will typically not exceed approximately 35% although the actual ratio could be higher or lower from time to time.

In addition to market risk, trading futures, forward and swap contracts entails credit risk in that a counterparty will not be able to meet its obligations to a Trading Company. The counterparty for futures 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. Some non-U.S. exchanges, in contrast to U.S. exchanges, are principals’ markets in which performance is the responsibility only of the individual counterparty with whom the Trading Company has entered into the transaction, and not of the exchange or clearing corporation. In these kinds of markets, there is risk of bankruptcy or other failure or refusal to perform by the counterparty.

In the case of forward contracts traded on the interbank market and swaps, neither is traded 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. The Managing Owner expects the Trading Advisors to trade only with those counterparties which it believes to be creditworthy. All positions of each Trading Company will be valued each day on a mark-to-market basis. There can be no assurance that any clearing member, clearinghouse or other counterparty will be able to meet its obligations to any Trading Company.

The Managing Owner has established procedures to actively monitor and minimize market and credit risks. The Limited Owners bear 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.

10. Indemnifications

The Trust has entered into agreements, which provide for the indemnification of futures clearing brokers, currency trading companies, and commodity trading advisers, among others, against losses, costs, claims and liabilities arising from the performance of their individual obligations under such agreements, except for gross negligence or bad faith. The Trust has had no prior claims or payments pursuant to these agreements. The Trust’s individual 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. However, based on experience the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.

11. Subsequent Events

The Trust has evaluated the need to disclose events subsequent to the balance sheet date through the filing date of this 10-Q and have the following events to report:

None.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Introduction

The following discussion and tables should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this quarterly report and our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Overview

The Frontier Fund (the “Trust”), is a Delaware statutory trust formed on August 8, 2003. The Trust is a multi-advisor commodity pool, as described in CFTC Regulation § 4.10(d)(2). The Trust is authorized to issue multiple Series of Units, pursuant to the requirements of the Trust Act. The assets of each Series are held and accounted for in separate and distinct records separately from the assets of other Series. The Trust is managed by the Managing Owner, and its term will expire on December 31, 2053 (unless terminated earlier in certain circumstances).

The Trust, with respect to each Series of Units, engages in the speculative trading of a diversified portfolio of futures, forward (including interbank foreign currencies) and options contracts and other derivative instruments (including Swaps) and may, from time to time, engage in cash and spot transactions and allocates funds to a subsidiary limited liability trading company (each a “Trading Company”). Each Trading Company has one-year renewable contracts with its own independent Trading Advisor(s) that will manage all or a portion of the applicable Trading Company’s assets, and make the trading decisions for the assets of each Series vested in such Trading Company (other than the Long Only Commodity Series which invests only in Swaps referencing two indexes). The assets of each Trading Company will be segregated from the assets of each other Trading Company. The Trust has an investment objective of increasing the value of the Units over the long term (capital appreciation), while controlling risk and volatility; further, to offer exposure to the investment programs of individual Trading Advisors and to specific instruments (currencies).

As of June 30, 2009 the Trust had eleven separate Series of Units issued and outstanding: the Balanced Series, Winton Series, Campbell/Graham/Tiverton Series, Currency Series, Winton/Graham Series, Long Only Commodity Series, Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series, Managed Futures Index Series, Frontier Diversified Series, Frontier Dynamic Series and Frontier Masters Series. Each Series of Units has between three and six separate classes issued and/or outstanding—Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, Class 1a, Class 2a, and Class 3a.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The financial statements of the Trust in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and serve to update the Trust’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”). These financial statements do not include all of the information and notes necessary to constitute a complete set of financial statements under GAAP applicable to annual periods. Accordingly, they should be read in conjunction with the financial information contained in the Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods disclosed herein are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the full year or any future period.

The Trust’s critical accounting policies and related estimates and judgments underlying the financial statements are as identified below.

Investment and Swap Transactions and Valuation—The Trust records investment transactions on a trade date basis and all investments are recorded at fair value in its financial statements, with changes in fair value reported as a component of Trading Profits (Losses) and unrealized equity in earnings on investments in each Series in the Statements of Operations. Generally, fair values are based on quoted market prices; however, in certain circumstances, significant judgments and estimates may be required in determining fair value in the absence of an active market closing price.

Allocation of Trading Profits or Losses—Each Series of the Trust has three or six classes of Units – Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, Class 1a, Class 2a and Class 3a). All classes have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except that Class 1 and 1a Units of each Series bear certain expenses related to the servicing of such Units. Revenues, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized trading profits and losses of each Series are allocated daily to Class 1, Class 1a, Class 2, Class 2a, Class 3 and Class 3a Units based on each Class’ relative owners’ capital balance.

Each Series allocates funds to a Trading Company, or Trading Companies, which allocate all of their daily trading profits or losses to the Series in proportion to each Series’ funds allocated to the Trading Company, adjusted on a daily basis. As of June 30, 2009, the value of all open contracts and cash held at clearing brokers is similarly allocated to the Series in proportion to each Series’ funds allocated to the Trading Company, or Trading Companies.

Interest Income—Interest income from all sources, including assets held at clearing brokers and cash and cash equivalents held at banks, is aggregated and allocated across all Series in proportion to their daily NAV.

In applying these policies, the Managing Owner may make judgments that can frequently require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.

Investment Transactions and Valuation

The Managing Owner has evaluated the nature and type of transactions processed and estimates that it makes in preparing the Trust’s financial statements and related disclosures and has adopted SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements, and implemented the framework for measuring fair value for assets and liabilities.

The Trust utilizes valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach per the requirement of SFAS 157 for the valuation of futures (exchange traded) contracts, currencies, forward (non-exchange traded) contracts, swap contracts and other non-cash assets. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The Trust applies the valuation techniques in a consistent manner for each asset or liability. The Trust records all investments at fair value in its Statement of Financial Condition, with changes in fair value reported as a component of realized and unrealized gain/(loss) on investments in the Statements of Operations.

Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in

 

58


Table of Contents

pricing the financial asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the financial asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances.

In addition, the Trust monitors counterparty credit risk and incorporates any identified risk factors when assigning input levels to underlying financial assets or liabilities. In that regard SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical financial assets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. A full disclosure of the fair value hierarchy is presented in Note 3 of the financial statements - Fair Value Measurements.

Custom Time Deposits and Certificates of Deposit

Custom time deposits and certificates of deposit are allocated to each Series based on the Series’ percentage ownership in the pooled cash management assets on the date of the asset purchase. The Trust values the custom time deposits at face value plus accrued interest as it is considered a deposit account under paragraph 7.23 of the Investment Company Audit Guide, and accordingly, this deposit is not subject to fair value measurements under SFAS 157. The Trust values the certificates of deposit at face value plus accrued interest and reports these instruments as Level 2 inputs under SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements.

Liquidity and 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 makes no capital expenditures and has no capital assets that are not operating capital or assets.

The Managing Owner is responsible for the payment of all of the ordinary expenses associated with the organization of the Trust and the offering of each Series of Units, except for the initial and ongoing service fee, if any, and no Series will be required to reimburse these expenses. As a result, 100% of each Series’ offering proceeds are initially available for that Series’ trading activities.

A portion of each Trading Company’s assets is used as margin to maintain that Trading Company’s forward currency contract positions, and another portion is deposited in cash in segregated accounts in the name of each Trading Company maintained for each Trading Company at the clearing brokers in accordance with CFTC segregation requirements. At June 30, 2009, cash deposited at the clearing brokers was $49,737,591 for the Balanced Series, $584,384 for the Currency Series, $10,021,397 for the Winton/Graham Series and ($6,345,291) for the Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series. The clearing brokers are expected to credit each Trading Company with approximately 80%-100% of the interest earned on its average net assets on deposit with the clearing brokers each week. Currently, this amount is estimated to be 0.20%. In an attempt to increase interest income earned, the Managing Owner also may invest the non-margin assets in U.S. government securities which include any security issued or guaranteed as to principal or interest by the United States, or by a person controlled by or supervised by and acting as an instrumentality of the government of the United States pursuant to authority granted by Congress or any certificate of deposit for any of the foregoing, including U.S. treasury bonds, U.S. treasury bills and issues of agencies of the U.S. government, and certain cash items such as money market funds, certificates of deposit (under nine months) and time deposits. Aggregate interest income from all sources, including assets held at clearing brokers, up to 2% (annualized) is paid to the Managing Owner by the Balanced Series (Class 1 and Class 2 only), Winton Series, Campbell/Graham/Tiverton Series, Currency Series, and Winton/Graham Series. For the Balanced Series (Class 1a and Class 2a only), Long Only Commodity Series, Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series, Managed Futures Index Series, Frontier Diversified Series, Frontier Dynamic Series and Frontier Masters Series, 20% of the total interest allocated to each Series is paid to the Managing Owner.

Approximately 10% to 20% of the Trust’s assets are expected to be committed as required margin for futures contracts and forward and options trading and held by the respective broker, 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 broker pursuant to the Commodity Exchange Act and regulations thereunder. Approximately 2% to 6% of the Trust’s assets are expected to be deposited with over-the-counter counterparties in order to initiate and maintain forward and swap 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 in either U.S. government securities or short-term time deposits with U.S.-regulated bank affiliates of the over-the-counter counterparties. The remaining approximately 74% to 88% of the Trust’s

Table of Contents

assets will normally be invested in cash equivalents and short-term investments, such as money market funds, certificates of deposit (under nine months) and time deposits and held by the clearing broker, the over-the-counter counterparties and by U.S. Federally chartered banks. As of June 30, 2009, total cash and cash equivalents (including cash payables to other Series), custom time deposits and certificate of deposits held at banking institutions were $140,207,610 for the Balanced Series, $50,393,386 for the Winton Series, $58,959,329 for the Campbell/Graham/Tiverton Series, $14,911,904 for the Currency Series, $55,556,155 for the Winton/Graham Series, $2,810,783 for the Long Only Commodity Series, $47,463,901 for the Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series, $3,144,452 for the Managed Futures Index Series, $23,034,662 for the Frontier Diversified Series, $13,715,522 for the Frontier Dynamic Series and $15,889,595 for the Frontier Masters Series.

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. Each Trading Company 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 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 held by a Trading Company in respect of any Series at the same time, and if the Trading Advisor(s) of such Trading Company are unable to offset such futures interests positions, such Trading Company could lose all of its assets and the holders of Units of such Series would realize a 100% loss. The Managing Owner seeks to minimize market risk through real-time monitoring of open positions and the level of diversification of each Trading Advisor’s portfolio. It is anticipated that any Trading Advisor’s margin-to-equity ratio will typically not exceed approximately 35% although the actual ratio could be higher or lower from time to time.

In addition to market risk, trading futures, forward and swap contracts entails credit risk which is the risk that a counterparty will not be able to meet its obligations to a Trading Company. The counterparty for futures 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. Some non-U.S. exchanges, in contrast to U.S. exchanges are principals’ markets in which performance is the responsibility only of the individual counterparty with whom the Trading Company has entered into the transaction with and not of the exchange or clearing corporation. In these kinds of markets, there is risk of bankruptcy or other failure or refusal to perform by the counterparty.

In the case of forward contracts traded on the interbank market and swaps, neither is traded on an exchange. 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. The Managing Owner expects the Trading Advisors to trade only with those counterparties which it believes to be creditworthy. All positions of each Trading Company are valued each day on a mark-to-market basis. There can be no assurance that any clearing member, clearinghouse or other counterparty will be able to meet its obligations to any Trading Company.

The Trust has entered into agreements, which provide for the indemnification of futures clearing brokers, currency trading companies, and commodity trading advisers, among others, against losses, costs, claims and liabilities arising from the performance of their individual obligations under such agreements, except for gross negligence or bad faith. The Trust has had no prior claims or payments pursuant to these agreements. The Trust’s individual 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.

Market Conditions for Six Months Ended June 30, 2008

January 2008

Interest Rates

In response to widespread fear of a U.S. recession, interest rate futures on both sides of the Atlantic and across the entire curve climbed steadily for most of the month. The U.S. Federal Reserve cut the Fed Funds rate by 1.25% during January after the release of weaker than expected U.S. growth statistics and amid concerns that more debt write-offs are on the horizon. A late-month pullback after very high volatility, particularly in the European rate futures, was not enough to counter the significant increase in futures prices during the beginning of the month.

Currencies

The Federal Reserve’s rate cuts, which brought the Fed Funds rate down to 3%, contributed to the decline of the U.S. Dollar Index which finished the month down 2%.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Series are speculative commodity pools. The market sensitive instruments which are held by the Trading Companies in which the Series are invested are acquired for speculative trading purposes, and all or a substantial amount of the Series’ 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 Series’ main line of business.

Market movements result in frequent changes in the fair market value of each Trading Company’s open positions and, consequently, in each Series of the Trust’s earnings and cash flow. The Trading Companies’ and consequently the Series’ 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 open positions and the liquidity of the markets in which trades are made.

Each Trading Company 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 past performance for any Series is not necessarily indicative of the future results of such Series.

The Trading Companies’ and consequently the Series’ primary market risk exposures as well as the strategies used and to be used by the Trading Advisors 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 and the Managing Owner’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 Trading Companies and consequently the Trust. There can be no assurance that the Trading Companies’ 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 a Series.

Quantitative Market Risk

Trading Risk

The Series’ approximate risk exposure in the various market sectors traded by its trading advisors is quantified below in terms of value at risk. Due to the Series’ mark-to-market accounting, any loss in the fair value of the Series’ (through the Trading Companies) open positions is directly reflected in the Series’ earnings, realized or unrealized.

Exchange maintenance margin requirements have been used by the Trust as the measure of its value at risk. Maintenance margin requirements are set by exchanges to equal or exceed the maximum losses reasonably expected to be incurred in the fair value of any given contract in 95% to 99% of any one-day interval. The maintenance margin levels are established by brokers, dealers and exchanges using historical price studies as well as an assessment of current market volatility and economic fundamentals to provide a probabilistic estimate of the maximum expected near-term one-day price fluctuation. Maintenance margin has been used rather than the more generally available initial margin, because initial margin includes a credit risk component that is not relevant to value at risk.

In the case of market sensitive instruments that are not exchange-traded, including currencies and some energy products and metals, the margin requirements for the equivalent futures positions have been used as value at risk. In those cases in which a futures-equivalent margin is not available, dealers’ margins have been used.

In the case of contracts denominated in foreign currencies, the value at risk figures include foreign currency margin amounts converted into U.S. Dollars with an incremental adjustment to reflect the exchange rate risk inherent to the Series, which is valued in U.S. Dollars, in expressing value at risk in a functional currency other than U.S. Dollars.

In quantifying each Series’ value at risk, 100% positive correlation in the different positions held in each market risk category has been assumed. Consequently, the margin requirements applicable to the open contracts have simply been aggregated to determine each trading category’s aggregate value at risk. The diversification effects resulting from the fact that the Series’ positions held through the Trading Companies are rarely, if ever, 100% positively correlated have not been reflected.

Value at Risk by Market Sectors

The following table presents the trading value at risk associated with each Series’ exposure to open positions (as held by the Trading Companies) by market sector as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. All open position trading risk exposures of the Series have been included in calculating the figures set forth below.

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

The face value of the market sector instruments held on behalf of the Series is typically many times the applicable maintenance margin requirement, which generally ranges between approximately 1% and 10% of the contract’s face value, as well as many times the capitalization of the Series. The magnitude of each Series’ open positions creates a risk of loss not typically found in most other investment vehicles. Because of the size of their positions, certain market conditions, although unusual, but historically recurring from time to time, could cause a Series to incur severe losses over a short period of time. The value at risk tables above, as well as the past performance of the Series, gives no indication of this risk of loss.

Non-Trading Risk

The Series have non-trading market risk on their foreign cash balances not needed for margin. However, these balances, as well as the market risk they represent, are immaterial. The Series also have non-trading market risk as a result of investing a portion of their available assets in U.S. government securities which include any security issued or guaranteed as to principal or interest by the United States, or by a person controlled by or supervised by and acting as an instrumentality of the government of the United States pursuant to authority granted by Congress of the United States or any certificate of deposit for any of the foregoing, including U.S. treasury bonds, U.S. treasury bills and issues of agencies of the U.S. government, and certain cash items such as money market funds, certificates of deposit (under nine months) and time deposits. The market risk represented by these investments is also immaterial.

Qualitative Market Risk

The following are the primary trading risk exposures of the Series of the Trust as of June 30, 2009, by market sector.

Interest rates

Interest rate risk is one of the principal market exposures of each Series. Interest rate movements directly affect the price of interest rate futures positions held and indirectly the value of a Trading Company’s stock index and currency positions. Interest rate movements in one country as well as relative interest rate movements between countries materially impact profitability. The primary interest rate exposure is to interest rate fluctuations in the United States and the other G-7 countries. However, the Trading Companies also may take futures positions on the government debt of smaller nations. The Managing Owner anticipates that G-7 interest rates will remain the primary market exposure of each Trading Company and accordingly of each Series for the foreseeable future. The changes in interest rates which are expected to have the most effect on the Series are changes in long-term, as opposed to short-term rates. Most of the speculative positions to be held by the Trading Companies will be in medium- to long-term instruments. Consequently, even a material change in short-term rates is expected to have little effect on the Series if the medium- to long-term rates remain steady. Aggregate interest income from all sources, including assets held at clearing brokers, up to 2% (annualized) is paid to the Managing Owner by the Balanced Series (Class 1 and Class 2

only), Winton Series, Campbell/Graham/Tiverton Series, Currency Series and Winton/Graham Series. For the Balanced Series (Class 1a and Class 2a only), Long Only Commodity Series, Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series, Managed Futures Index Series, Frontier Diversified Series, Frontier Dynamic Series and Frontier Masters Series, 20% of the total interest allocated to each Series is paid to the Managing Owner. In addition, if interest rates fall below 0.75%, the Managing Owner is paid the difference between the Trust’s annualized interest income that is allocated to each of such Series and 0.75%. Interest income above what is paid to the Managing Owner is retained by the Series.

Currencies

Exchange rate risk is a significant market exposure of each Series of the Trust in general and the Currency Series in particular. For each Series of the Trust in general, and the Currency Series in particular, currency exposure is to exchange rate fluctuations, primarily fluctuations that 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 Trading Advisors on behalf of a Series trade in a large number of currencies, including cross-rates, which are positions between two currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. The Managing Owner does not anticipate that the risk profile of the Series’ currency sector will change significantly in the future.

Stock Indices

For each Series (other than the Currency Series), its primary equity exposure is equity price risk in the G-7 countries as well as other smaller jurisdictions. Each Series of the Trust (other than the Currency Series) is primarily exposed to the risk of adverse price trends or static markets in the major U.S., European and Japanese indices.

Metals

For each Series (other than the Currency Series), its metals market exposure is fluctuations in the price of both precious metals, including gold and silver, as well as base metals including aluminum, copper, nickel and zinc. Some metals, such as gold, are used as surrogate stores of value, in place of hard currency, and thus have an associated currency or interest rate risk associated with them relative to their price in a specific currency. Other metals, such as silver, platinum, copper and steel, have substantial industrial applications, and may be subject to forces affecting industrial production and demand.

Agriculturals/Softs

Each Series (other than the Currency Series) may also invest in raw commodities and may thus have exposure to agricultural price movements, which are often directly affected by severe or unexpected weather conditions or by political events in countries that comprise significant sources of commodity supply.

Energy

For each Series (other than the Currency Series), its primary energy market exposure is in oil, gas and other energy product price movements, often resulting from political developments and ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. 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.

Other Trading Risks

As a result of leverage, small changes in the price of a Trading Company’s positions may result in substantial losses for a Series. Futures, forwards and options are typically traded on margin. This means that a small amount of capital can be used to invest in contracts of much greater total value. The resulting leverage means that a relatively small change in the market price of a contract can produce a substantial loss. Like other leveraged investments, any purchase or sale of a contract may result in losses in excess of the amount invested in that contract. The Trading Companies may lose more than their initial margin deposits on a trade.

 

94


Table of Contents

The Trading Companies’ trading is subject to execution risks. Market conditions may make it impossible for the Trading Advisors to execute a buy or sell order at the desired price, or to close out an open position. Daily price fluctuation limits are established by the exchanges and approved by the CFTC. When the market price of a contract reaches its daily price fluctuation limit, no trades can be executed at prices outside the limit. The holder of a contract may therefore be locked into an adverse price movement for several days or more and lose considerably more than the initial margin put up to establish the position. Thinly traded or illiquid markets also can make it difficult or impossible to execute trades.

The Trading Advisor’s positions are subject to speculative limits. The CFTC and domestic exchanges have established speculative position limits on the maximum futures position which any person, or group of persons acting in concert, may hold or control in particular futures contracts or options on futures contracts traded on U.S. commodity exchanges. Under current regulations, other accounts of the Trading Advisors are combined with the positions held by them on behalf of the applicable Trading Company for position limit purposes. This trading could preclude additional trading in these commodities by the Trading Advisors for the accounts of the Series.

Systematic strategies do not consider fundamental types of data and do not have the benefit of discretionary decision making. The assets of the Series are allocated to Trading Advisors that rely on technical, systematic strategies that do not take into account factors external to the market itself (although certain of these strategies may have minor discretionary elements incorporated into their systematic strategy). The widespread use of technical trading systems frequently results in numerous trading advisors attempting to execute similar trades at or about the same time, altering trading patterns and affecting market liquidity. Furthermore, the profit potential of trend-following systems may be diminished by the changing character of the markets, which may make historical price data (on which technical programs are based) only marginally relevant to future market patterns. Systematic strategies are developed on the basis of a statistical analysis of market prices. Consequently, any factor external to the market itself that dominates prices that a discretionary decision maker may take into account may cause major losses for a systematic strategy. For example, a pending political or economic event may be very likely to cause a major price movement, but a systematic strategy may continue to maintain positions indicated by its trading method that might incur major losses if the event proved to be adverse.

However, because certain of the Trading Advisors’ strategies involve some discretionary aspects in addition to their technical factors, certain of the Trading Advisors may occasionally use discretion in investing the assets of a Series. For example, the Trading Advisors often use discretion in selecting contracts and markets to be followed. In exercising such discretion, such Trading Advisor may take positions opposite to those recommended by the Trading Advisor’s trading system or signals. Discretionary decision making may also result in a Trading Advisor failing to capitalize on certain price trends or making unprofitable trades in a situation where another trader relying solely on a systematic approach might not have done so. Furthermore, such use of discretion may not enable the relevant Series of the Trust to avoid losses, and in fact, such use of discretion may cause such Series to forego profits which it may have otherwise earned had such discretion not been used.

Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Means of Managing Risk Exposure

The means by which the Managing Owner attempts to manage the risk of the Trust’s open positions is essentially the same in all market categories traded. The Managing Owner applies risk management policies to trading which generally are designed to limit the total exposure of assets under management. In addition, the Managing Owner follows diversification guidelines which are often formulated in terms of the balanced volatility between markets and correlated groups.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of the management of the Managing Owner, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Trust evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of

Table of Contents

the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), for the Trust and each Series as of June 30, 2009 (the “Evaluation Date”). Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable (not absolute) assurance that its objectives will be met. Furthermore, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Based upon our evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Managing Owner concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the disclosure controls and procedures for the Trust and each Series were effective to provide reasonable assurance that they are timely alerted to the material information relating to the Trust and each Series required to be included in the Trust’s periodic SEC filings.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes made in internal controls during this reporting period that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the internal controls over financial reporting for the Trust or any Series.

Scope of Exhibit 31 Certifications

The certifications of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Managing Owner included as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2, respectively, to this Form 10-Q apply not only to the Trust as a whole but also to each Series individually.
