As of December 31, 2015 there is one investor who owns 10.04% of the members’ capital. The Class M Units are for investors who are subscribing through certain accounts enrolled in an eligible managed account program (“Eligible Managed Accounts”). The Sponsor may modify, on a prospective basis, the Eligible Managed Accounts. Class DT was solely for investments made by ML Trend-Following Futures Fund L.P., which was a FuturesAccess fund of funds. ML Trend-Following Futures Fund L.P. liquidated as of December 31, 2015. Class DS was solely for investments made by Systematic Momentum FuturesAccess LLC, which also was a FuturesAccess fund of funds. Systematic Momentum FuturesAccess LLC redeemed its investment in the Fund as of April 30, 2015. Class DT units and Class DS units are no longer offered. . 9

Interests in the Fund are not insured or otherwise protected by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government authority.Interests are not deposits or other obligations of, and are not guaranteed by, BofA Corp. or by any bank. Interests are subject to investment risks, including the possible loss of the full amount invested. The Fund considers all highly liquid investments, with a maturity of three months or less when acquired, to be cash equivalents. Cash was held at a nationally recognized financial institution. Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material. Statement of Cash Flows The Fund is not required to provide a Statement of Cash Flows. Revenue Recognition Commodity futures, options on futures and forward contract transactions are recorded on trade date. Open contracts are reflected in unrealized profit (loss) on open contracts in the Statements of Financial Condition as the difference between the original contract value and the market value (for those commodity interests for which market quotations are readily available) or at fair value. The change in unrealized profit (loss) on open contracts from one period to the next is reflected in Change in unrealized, net under Trading profit (loss), net in the Statements of Operations. Trading profit (loss), net includes brokerage commission costs on commodity contracts. Foreign Currency Transactions The Fund’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar; however, it may transact business in U.S. dollars and 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 as of the dates of the Statements of Financial Condition. Income and expense items denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect during the year. Profits and losses, including adjustments, resulting from the translation to U.S. dollars are included in Trading profit (loss), net in the Statements of Operations. Equity in Commodity Trading Accounts A portion of the assets maintained at MLPF&S is restricted cash required to meet maintenance margin requirements of the exchanges the Fund’s contracts are traded on and /or requirements greater than those of the exchanges as may be required by MLPF&S, in its sole discretion. 10

Operating Expenses and Selling Commissions The Fund pays for all routine operating costs (including ongoing offering costs, administration, custody, transfer, exchange and redemption processing, legal, regulatory filing, tax, audit, escrow, accounting and printing fees and other expenses) incurred by the Fund. Class A Units are subject to upfront sales commissions paid to MLPF&S ranging from 1.0% to 2.5% of an investor’s gross subscription amount. Class D Units and Class I Units are subject to upfront sales commissions paid to MLPF&S up to 2.5% of an investor’s gross subscription amount. Sales commissions are directly deducted from subscription amounts. Class C Units and Class M Units are not subject to upfront sales commissions. Class DT Units and Class DS Units, when offered during the year, were not subject to upfront sales commissions. Income Taxes Each investor is individually responsible for reporting income or loss based on such investor’s share of the Fund’s income and expenses as reported for income tax purposes. The Fund follows the ASC guidance on accounting for uncertain tax positions. This guidance provides how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. This guidance also requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions with respect to tax at the Fund level not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. A prospective investor should be aware that, among other things, income taxes could have a material adverse effect on the periodic calculations of the Net Asset Value of the Fund, including reducing the Net Asset Value of the Fund to reflect reserves for income taxes, such as foreign withholding taxes, that may be payable by the Fund. This could cause benefits or detriments to certain investors, depending upon the timing of their entry and exit from the Fund. MLAI has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions and has concluded that a provision for income tax of $345,000, generated by trading in Spain, is required in the Fund’s financial statements. Such amount is included in Other Liabilities on the Statements of Financial Condition. The following is the major tax jurisdiction for the Fund and the earliest tax year subject to examination: United States – 2012. Distributions Each investor is entitled to receive, equally per Unit, any distributions which may be made by the Fund. No such distributions have been declared for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. Subscriptions The Fund generally offers Units for investment as of the 1st and 16th calendar day of each month (each a “Subscription Date”) at the Net Asset Value per Unit of their respective Classes, although MLAI may in its discretion, discontinue mid-month subscriptions at any time. Investors must submit their executed subscription agreement signature pages on or before the “Subscription/Redemption Notice Date,” which is eight business days prior to the 1st and 16th of every month. Investors’ subscriptions will be used to purchase a number of Units, including fractional Units, with an aggregate Net Asset Value equal to the dollar amount invested. 11

Redemptions and Exchanges Investors in the Fund generally may redeem any or all of their Units at Net Asset Value, in whole or fractional Units, effective as of (i) the 15th calendar day of each month and/or (ii) the last calendar day of each month (each a “Redemption Date”), upon submitting a redemption request by the Subscription/Redemption Notice Date, which is eight business days prior to the 1st and 16th of every month. MLAI may eliminate investors’ mid-month redemption right at any time. The Net Asset Value of redeemed Units is determined as of the Redemption Date. Investors will remain exposed to fluctuations in Net Asset Value during the period between submission of their redemption request and the applicable Redemption Date. Investors in the Fund may generally exchange their Units for those of any other FuturesAccess Fund as of any Subscription Date with prior written notice to the Fund by the Subscription/Redemption Notice Date and any applicable notice to the other FuturesAccess Fund. If only one of the FuturesAccess Funds has semi-monthly redemption dates, exchanges will only be permitted as of the beginning of each month. In all cases, exchanges are subject to FuturesAccess Fund availability, investor eligibility and any restrictions imposed by a FuturesAccess Fund or the terms of a securities account, either temporarily or on an ongoing basis. The minimum exchange amount is $10,000. 12

With respect to each commodity industry sector listed in the above chart, the net unrealized profit (loss) on open positions is the sum of the unrealized profits (losses) of long positions and short positions, netting unrealized losses against unrealized profits as applicable. Net unrealized profit and loss provides a rough measure of the exposure of the Fund to the various sectors as of the date listed, although such exposure can change at any time. 13

 


3. FAIR VALUE OF INVESTMENTS Fair value of an investment is the amount that would be received to sell the investment in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e. the exit price). All investments (including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments) are held for trading purposes. The investments are recorded on trade date and open contracts are recorded at fair value (described below) at the measurement date. Investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the measurement date. Profits or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated. Unrealized profits or losses on open contracts are included in Equity in commodity trading accounts on the Statements of Financial Condition. Any change in net unrealized profit or loss from the preceding period/year is reported in the respective Statements of Operations. The fair value measurement guidance established by U.S. GAAP is a hierarchical disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value. Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories: Level I – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. The type of investments included in Level I are publicly traded investments. As required by the fair market value measurement guidance in U.S. GAAP, the Fund does not adjust the quoted price for these investments even in situations where the Fund holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price. Level II – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of generally accepted and understood models or other valuation methodologies. Investments which are generally included in this category are investments valued using market data. Level III – Pricing inputs are unobservable and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. Fair value for these investments is determined using valuation methodologies that consider a range of factors, including but not limited to the nature of the investment, local market conditions, trading values on public exchanges for comparable securities, current and projected operating performance and financing transactions subsequent to the acquisition of the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment. Due to the inherent uncertainty of these estimates, these values may differ materially from the values that would have been used had a ready market for these investments existed. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. MLAI’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for investments, as well as the general classification of such investments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. 14

Exchange traded investments are fair valued by the Fund by using the reported closing price on the primary exchange where such investments are traded. These closing prices are observed through the clearing broker and third party pricing services. For non-exchange traded investments, quoted values and other data provided by nationally recognized independent pricing sources are used as inputs into the process for determining fair values. The Fund has determined that Level I investments would include its futures and options contracts where it believes that quoted prices are available in an active market. Where the Fund believes that quoted market prices are not available or that the market is not active, fair values are estimated by using observable prices of investments with similar characteristics and these are generally classified as Level II investments. The Fund determined that Level II investments would include its forwards and certain futures contracts. As of December 31, 2015, the Fund holds cash equivalents which are considered Level II. Transfers of investments between different levels of the fair value hierarchy, if any, are recorded as of the beginning of the reporting period. There were no transfers to or from any level during 2015 and 2014. The Fund’s unrealized profit (loss) on open forwards and futures contracts, by the above fair value hierarchy levels, as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 are as follows: 2015 Net unrealized profit (loss) on open contracts Total Level I Level II Level III Assets Futures Forwards $ 1,897,921 - $ 1,534,559 - $ 363,362 - $ - - $ 1,897,921 $ 1,534,559 $ 363,362 $ - Liabilities Futures Forwards $ 1,508,564 - $ 1,321,649 - $ 186,915 - $ - - $ 1,508,564 $ 1,321,649 $ 186,915 $ - December 31, 2015 $ 389,357 $ 212,910 $ 176,447 $ - 15

The Fund engages in the speculative trading of futures, options on futures and forward contracts on a wide range of commodities. Such contracts meet the definition of a derivative as noted in the ASC guidance for accounting for derivative and hedging activities. The fair value amounts of and the net profits and losses on derivative instruments are disclosed in the Statements of Financial Condition and Statements of Operations, respectively. There are no credit related contingent features embedded in these derivative contracts. The total notional, number of contracts and fair values of derivative instruments by contract type/commodity sector are disclosed in Note 2. The Fund maintains margin deposits and cash collateral with its futures and forwards brokers, respectively, based on the greater of exchange margin or amounts determined by the respective broker. At December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the initial margin deposits (cash) are used to satisfy the margin requirements to establish the futures or forward contracts and are presented on the Statements of Financial Condition in Cash in the Equity in commodity trading accounts. The variation margin on open contracts is presented gross on the Statements of Financial Condition in Unrealized profit or loss on futures or forwards contracts, respectively. The Fund is subject to agreements which support the ability to settle net with their counterparties; however, the Fund has elected to present the related balances on the Statements of Financial Condition on a gross basis. The net of these amounts plus the restricted cash presented within the Cash in the Equity in commodity trading accounts on the Statements of Financial Condition represents the Fund’s net exposure. The following table indicates the trading profits and losses before brokerage commissions, by commodity industry sector for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013: 16

Fund assets could be lost or impounded during lengthy bankruptcy proceedings. Were a substantial portion of the Fund’s capital tied up in a bankruptcy or other similar types of proceedings, MLAI might suspend or limit trading, perhaps causing the Fund to miss significant profit opportunities. There are increased risks in dealing with unregulated trading counterparties including the risk that assets may not benefit from the protection afforded to “customer funds” deposited with regulated dealers and brokers. 4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS MLAI owns 88 Class D Units which represent less than 1% of the Fund’s Net Asset Value as of December 31, 2015. MLAI, the Fund and certain other FuturesAccess Funds, MLAI’s HedgeAccess® Program of hedge funds and other BofA Corp. funds (each a “Serviced Fund” and collectively, the “Serviced Funds”) have entered into a transfer agency and investor services agreement with Financial Data Services, Inc. (the “Transfer Agent”), a wholly owned subsidiary of BofA Corp. and affiliate of MLAI. The Transfer Agent provides registrar, distribution disbursing agent, transfer agent and certain other services related to the issuance, redemption, exchange and transfer of Units. The fees charged by the Transfer Agent for its services were 0.02% per year of the aggregate net assets of the Serviced Funds. The fee is paid monthly in arrears. The Transfer Agent also receives reimbursement for its out-of-pocket expenses and certain extraordinary expenses. MLAI allocates the Transfer Agent fees to each of the Serviced Funds, including the Fund, on a monthly basis based on each Serviced Fund’s net assets. The Transfer Agent fee allocated to the Fund for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013 amounted to $18,312, $14,914 and $24,570, respectively, of which $2,047 and $2,467 was payable to the Transfer Agent as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Typically the vast majority of the Fund’s U.S. dollar assets are maintained at MLPF&S. MLPF&S and any other BofA Corp. affiliates that hold the Fund’s cash assets receive economic benefits, which may be substantial, from holding this cash, even in low interest rate environments in which the Fund receives little, or no, interest on these cash assets. BofA Corp.’s “Interest Earning Program,” which offers interest on cash balances subject to a negotiated schedule, will generally apply to Fund cash assets during any time they are maintained by the Sponsor with its affiliates. As of December 31, 2015, the interest rate under the Interest Earning Program on U.S. dollar cash balances is the daily effective federal funds rate less 20 basis points, recalculated and accrued daily, and subject to a floor of 0%. The daily effective federal funds rate is a volume-weighted average of rates on trades arranged by major brokers and is calculated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York using data provided by the brokers. Interest 17

GRAPHIC

 


is computed based upon the daily net equity balance of the Fund’s account and is posted to the Fund’s account on a monthly basis. MLPF&S charges the Fund at prevailing local interest rates for financing realized and unrealized losses on the Fund’s non-U.S. dollar-denominated positions. Such amounts are netted against interest income. The Fund charges Sponsor fees on the month-end Net Asset Value after all other charges at annual rates equal to 1.5% for Class A Units, 2.5% for Class C Units, and 1.1% for Class I Units. Class D Units and Class M Units are not charged a Sponsor fee. Class DT and Class DS were not charged a Sponsor fee during the year. The Fund pays brokerage commissions on actual cost per round turn. The average round-turn commission rate charged to the Fund for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $5.58, $6.11 and $5.81, respectively. Brokerage commissions, interest, net, management fees to MLAI and sponsor fees, as presented on the Statements of Operations, are all received from or paid to related parties. Equity in commodity trading accounts, including cash and Unrealized profit (loss), as presented on the Statements of Financial Condition are held with a related party. 5. ADVISORY AGREEMENT The Fund, MLAI and the Trading Advisor have entered into an advisory agreement. The advisory agreement will continue in effect until December 31, 2016. Thereafter, the advisory agreement will be automatically renewed for successive one-year periods, on the same terms, unless (x) terminated at any time by either the Trading Advisor or the Fund upon 90 days written notice to the other party or (y) terminated upon certain occurrences as provided therein. Pursuant to the advisory agreement, the Trading Advisor has sole and exclusive authority and responsibility for directing the Fund’s trading, subject to MLAI’s fiduciary responsibility to intervene, to overrule or unwind trades if MLAI deems that doing so is necessary or advisable for the protection of the Fund. The Fund pays monthly management fees to each of the Trading Advisor and MLAI based on the month-end Net Asset Value of the Fund (prior to reduction for the management fees being calculated and any accrued performance fees or Sponsor fees). The management fee rate payable to the Trading Advisor is 1.0% per year for all Classes of Units, except Class DT Units which is charged a 0.5% management fee. The management fee rate payable to MLAI is 0.5% per year for all Classes of Units, except for Class DT Units which is not charged a management fee for MLAI. The Fund pays a 22.5% annual performance fee to the Trading Advisor with respect to all Classes of Units. The performance fee is calculated based on any increase in the aggregate Net Asset Value of the Classes of Units subject to the same rate of performance fees (“Class Group”), taken together, in excess of the Class Group’s highest Net Asset Value as of any previous December 31 after adjustment for subscriptions and the performance fee then paid (“High Water Mark”). The performance fee is also paid on net redemptions, and the High Water Mark is proportionately reduced. 6. WEIGHTED AVERAGE UNITS The weighted average number of Units outstanding for each Class is computed for purposes of disclosing net income (loss) per weighted average Unit. The weighted average number of Units outstanding, for each Class, for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 equals the Units 18

outstanding as of such date, adjusted proportionately for Units sold or redeemed based on the respective length of time each was outstanding during the year. 7. MARKET AND CREDIT RISKS The nature of this Fund has certain risks, which cannot all be presented in the financial statements. The following summarizes some of those risks. Market Risk Derivative instruments involve varying degrees of market risk. Changes in the level or volatility of interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates or the market values of the financial instruments or commodities underlying such derivative instruments frequently result in changes in the Fund’s unrealized profit (loss) on open contracts on such derivative instruments as reflected in the Statements of Financial Condition. The Fund’s exposure to market risk is influenced by a number of factors, including the relationships among the derivative instruments held by the Fund as well as the volatility and liquidity of the markets in which the derivative instruments are traded. Investments in foreign markets may also entail legal and political risks. MLAI has procedures in place intended to control market risk exposure, although there can be no assurance that it will, in fact, succeed in doing so. These procedures focus primarily on monitoring the trading of the Trading Advisor, calculating the Net Asset Value of the Fund as of the close of business on each day and reviewing outstanding positions for over-concentrations. While MLAI does not intervene in the markets to hedge or diversify the Fund’s market exposure, MLAI may urge the Trading Advisor to reallocate positions in an attempt to avoid over-concentrations. However, such interventions are expected to be unusual. It is expected that MLAI’s basic risk control procedures will consist of the process of Trading Advisor monitoring, with the market risk controls being applied by the Trading Advisor. Credit Risk The risks associated with exchange-traded contracts are typically perceived to be less than those associated with over-the-counter (non-exchange-traded) transactions because exchanges typically (but not universally) provide clearinghouse arrangements in which the collective credit (in some cases limited in amount, in some cases not) of the investors of the exchange/clearinghouse is pledged to support the financial integrity of the exchange/clearinghouse. In over-the-counter transactions, on the other hand, traders must rely solely on the credit of their respective individual counterparties. Margins, which may be subject to loss in the event of a default, are generally required in exchange traded contracts, and in the over-the-counter markets counterparties may also require margin. The credit risk associated with these instruments from counterparty nonperformance is the unrealized profit (loss) on open contracts, if any, included in the Statements of Financial Condition. MLAI, as sponsor of the Fund, has a general policy of maintaining clearing and prime brokerage arrangements with BofA Corp. affiliates, such as MLPF&S and MLI, although MLAI may engage non-BofA Corp. affiliated service providers as clearing brokers or prime brokers for the Fund. This policy may increase risk to the Fund by preventing the diversification of brokers used by the Fund. The Fund, in its normal course of business, enters into various contracts, with MLPF&S acting as its futures clearing broker and MLI as its forward prime broker. Due to the relationship with MLPF&S, in the event of default, all futures balances are eligible for offset with a net settlement due to MLPF&S. 19

GRAPHIC

 


Due to the relationship with MLI, in the event of default, all forwards balances are eligible for offset with a net settlement due to MLI. Indemnifications In the normal course of business, the Fund has entered, or may in the future enter, into agreements that obligate the Fund to indemnify certain parties, including BofA Corp. affiliates. No claims have actually been made with respect to such indemnities and any quantification would involve hypothetical claims that have not been made. Based on the Fund’s experience, MLAI expects the risk of loss to be remote and, therefore, no provision has been recorded. 8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Management has evaluated the impact of subsequent events on the Fund and has determined that there were no subsequent events that require adjustments to, or disclosure in, the financial statements. 20
