SUPERFUND GOLD, L.P.
$87,100,872 SERIES A AND $85,934,603 SERIES B
UNITS OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST
The Offering
Superfund Gold, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the Fund), is offering two separate
series of limited partnership units (Units), designated Series A and Series B. The primary
objective of Superfund Gold, L.P. is to maintain the approximate equivalent of a dollar for dollar
investment in gold while seeking appreciation of its assets over time by trading and investing in a
portfolio of futures and forward contracts on stock indices, currencies, bonds, grains, energies,
metals (including gold), agricultural markets and livestock. The two Series are traded and managed
the same way except for the degree of leverage, and the assets and liabilities of each Series are
segregated from the assets and liabilities of the other Series.
Superfund USA, Inc., and additional selling agents, which serve as underwriters, are offering
the Units on the last day of each month at a price of month-end net asset value per Unit. As of
February 28, 2011, the net asset value per Unit of Series A-1 was $1,548.38, the net asset value
per Unit of Series A-2 was $1,656.17, the net asset value per Unit of Series B-1 was $1,336.66, and
the net asset value per Unit of Series B-2 was $1,378.31. Units are continuously offered as of the
last day of each month at their net asset value, stated in dollars, for transaction purposes, and
ounces of gold for reference. Regardless of the net asset value at which Units are issued, the
initial aggregate net asset value of an investors Units will equal the dollar amount of the
investors subscription, and no up-front underwriting discount or commission will be taken,
although, as described herein, certain Units will pay an installment selling commission of up to
10% of the gross offering proceeds of the Units in monthly installments of 1/12 of 2% of the
month-end net asset value of such Units. There is no scheduled termination date for the offering of
the Units. If the total amount offered pursuant to this Prospectus is sold, the proceeds to
Superfund Gold, L.P. will be $173,035,475. Subscription proceeds are held in escrow at HSBC Bank
USA until released to Superfund Gold, L.P. at the end of each month, and there is no minimum number
or dollar amount of Units that must be sold for Units to be issued as of the end of any month.
Subscriptions for Units become irrevocable five business days after submission to your selling
agent.
The General Partner
Superfund Capital Management, Inc., a professional futures trading advisor and member of the
Superfund group of affiliated companies, serves as the general partner and trading advisor of
Superfund Gold, L.P.
Minimum Investment
The minimum initial investment in a Series is $5,000; $1,000 for existing investors in such
Series.
The Risks
These are speculative securities. You could lose all or substantially all of your investment
in a Series. Before you decide whether to invest, read this entire Prospectus carefully and
consider THE RISKS YOU FACE on page 11.
|
|
|
Each Series has only a limited performance history. |
|
|
|
|
The Fund is speculative and highly leveraged. The Series acquire positions with face
amounts substantially greater than their total equity. Leverage magnifies the impact of
both gains and losses. |
|
|
|
|
Performance is expected to be volatile; the net asset value per Unit may fluctuate
significantly in a single month. |
|
|
|
|
Superfund Capital Management, Inc. is the sole trading advisor for the Fund. The use
of a single advisor could mean lack of diversification and, consequently, higher risk. |
|
|
|
|
There is no secondary market for the Units. You may redeem your Units only as of a
month-end. Transfers of Units are subject to limitations. |
|
|
|
|
A Series trading operations may be successful and yet the Series may still sustain
losses if the value of the Series gold position declines by more than the amount of
profits generated by the Series trading operations. Likewise, a Series gains, if any,
from its gold position may be offset by losses incurred in its futures and forward
trading. |
|
|
|
|
A Series may fail to achieve its objective of maintaining a dollar for dollar
investment in gold if gold futures margins increase substantially, in which case the
Series may reduce its gold position and continue its futures and forward trading
activities. |
|
|
|
|
You will sustain losses if the substantial expenses of a Series are not offset by
trading and/or gold investment profits and interest income. |
To invest, you will be required to represent and warrant, among other things, that you have
received a copy of this Prospectus and that you satisfy the minimum net worth and income
requirements for residents of your state to invest in a Series. You are encouraged to discuss your
investment decision with your individual financial, tax and legal advisors.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has
approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this
Prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

SUMMARY
General
Superfund Gold, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership formed in March 2008 (the Fund), is
offering two series of limited partnership units (Units): Superfund Gold, L.P. Series A and
Superfund Gold, L.P. Series B (each, a Series). Each Series is designed to maintain a long
position in gold futures with a notional, or face, value approximately equal to the net asset value
of the Series while seeking appreciation of its assets through trading a diversified, systematic,
primarily trend-following, futures and forward trading program operated by Superfund Capital
Management, Inc., the general partner and trading advisor of the Fund (the General Partner). This
long gold position is referred to in this Prospectus as a Series gold position or the dollar for
dollar gold position. The net asset value of each Series Units will be quoted in ounces of gold,
as described below under Summary The Offering, as well as in dollars. You should note, however,
that the Series are not gold funds, and Series performance will not necessarily track the price
of gold. Likewise, the net asset value of the Series will not be determined solely by the price of
gold.
To obtain its dollar for dollar gold position, the Series enter into futures contracts to
purchase gold in a dollar amount approximately equal to the amount of capital invested in each
Series. The General Partner adjusts each Series gold position at the beginning of each month to
reflect additions to and redemptions of Series capital, as well as to reflect profits and losses
from the Series futures and forward trading activities and interest income, as of the end of the
preceding month so as to maintain a gold futures position with a notional, or face, value
approximately equal to the Series net asset value at the beginning of each month. You should note,
however, that because the Series gold positions are adjusted only once each month, profits or
losses incurred on a Series gold position or from a Series speculative futures and forward
trading and interest income earned by a Series during a month may cause the notional, or face,
value of a Series gold position at any time during a month to be greater than or less than the
Series net asset value at the beginning of the month.
In addition to maintaining an investment in gold, each Series trades speculatively in the U.S.
and international futures and currency forward markets using Superfunds automated computerized
trading systems. The Superfund trading systems generate buy and sell trading signals and monitor
relevant technical indicators on over 120 markets traded in the United States, Canada, Europe and
Asia. The primary sectors in which each Series trades are: stock indices, currencies, bonds,
grains, energies, metals (including gold), agricultural markets and livestock, and trades are
entered on U.S. and, to a substantial extent, non-U.S. markets. Each Series attempts to emphasize
instruments with low correlation to each other and high liquidity for trade order execution.
Series B implements the Funds futures and forward trading program at a leverage level equal to
approximately 1.5 times that implemented on behalf of Series A, and, accordingly, is expected to
have more volatile performance than Series A.
Effective July 1, 2010, the General Partner integrated a systematic, technical short-term
trading strategy into the Funds primary trend-following methodology. This short-term strategy
seeks trading opportunities arising out of short term changes in futures and forward market prices,
with trades lasting from less than a day to more than a week, and has exhibited low correlation to
the trend-following methodology historically utilized by the Fund.
The General Partner
Superfund Capital Management, Inc., a Grenada corporation, serves as the general partner and
trading advisor of the Fund and each Series and is responsible for the trading and administration
of each Series. The General Partners offices, and the office of the Fund where its books and
records are kept, are located at Superfund Office Building, P.O. Box 1479, Grand Anse, St.
Georges, Grenada, West Indies.
The General Partner is a professional futures trading advisor and a member of the Superfund
group of affiliated companies. As of February 28, 2011, the General Partner and its affiliates had
approximately $1.1 billion in assets under management in the futures and forward markets. The
General Partner has delegated certain administrative functions, including calculation of the
Series net asset values and distribution of reports to investors, to SS&C Fund Services, Inc.
(SS&C), a leading fund administration services provider and a business unit of SS&C Technologies,
Inc. Certain Fund records are located at the offices of SS&C at 80 Lamberton Road, Windsor, CT
06095.
1
The General Partner contributed $1,000,000 to the capital of each Series prior to the
commencement of trading and will maintain an investment in each Series of not less than the greater
of $25,000 or 1% of the net asset value of the Series, including the General Partners investment;
provided, however, that the General Partner may withdraw any excess above such level in a Series at
any month-end if the aggregate net asset value of the outstanding Units of the Series exceeds
$2,000,000. As of February 28, 2011, the value of the General Partners investment in Series A-1
was $797,288, in Series A-2 was $0, in Series B-1 was $580,454 and in Series B-2 was $0.
The Offering
Superfund USA, Inc., an affiliate of the General Partner, and additional selling agents, which
serve as underwriters, are offering the Units as of the end of each month at the then current net
asset value per Unit which will be stated both in ounces of gold, reflecting the U.S. dollar price
per ounce of gold established at the London A.M. fixing on the last business day of the month, and
in dollars. For example, assume the net asset value per Unit stated in dollars is $1,500 and
further assume that the U.S. dollar price per ounce of gold, established at the London A.M. fixing,
is $1,400. The net asset value per Unit stated in gold would be 1.07 ounces of gold (1,500 ÷
1,400). The foregoing example is for illustrative purposes only. There can be no assurance that the
U.S. dollar price of gold will rise or not decline or that a Series will not incur losses from its
futures and forward trading. The U.S. dollar price for gold established at the London A.M. fixing,
and the closing price for the gold futures contracts to be traded by the Series will normally be
different from each other, although the differences are expected to be insignificant as a
percentage of the per ounce price of gold.
Series and Sub-Series of Units
Within each Series, Units are issued in two sub-Series (each a Sub-Series). Series A-1 Units
and Series B-1 Units are subject to the selling commissions described below under Summary
Charges to Each Series. Series A-2 Units and Series B-2 Units are not subject to selling
commissions but are available exclusively to: (i) investors participating in selling agent
asset-based or fixed-fee investment programs or a registered investment advisers asset-based fee
or fixed-fee advisory program through which an investment adviser recommends a portfolio allocation
to the Fund and for which Superfund USA, Inc. serves as selling agent, (ii) investors who purchased
the Units through Superfund USA, Inc. or an affiliated broker and who are commodity pools operated
by commodity pool operators registered as such with the National Futures Association (NFA), and
(iii) investors who have paid the maximum selling commission on their Series A-1 or Series B-1
Units (by redesignation of such Units as Series A-2 Units or Series B-2 Units as described herein).
Minimum Investment
The minimum initial investment is $5,000 per Series; existing investors in a Series may make
additional investments in $1,000 minimums. Fractional Units will be issued calculated to three
decimal places.
Major Risks of the Fund
|
|
|
An investment in a Series is a speculative investment. You must be prepared to
lose all or substantially all of your investment. |
|
|
|
|
The Fund is recently formed and thus has only a limited performance history.
The past performance of gold or of the General Partners trading program is not
necessarily indicative of the future results of either Series. |
|
|
|
|
The Fund is speculative and leveraged. The Series acquire positions with face
amounts substantially greater than their total equity. Leverage magnifies the impact of
both gains and losses. |
|
|
|
|
Performance is expected to be volatile; the net asset value per Unit may
fluctuate significantly in a single month. |
2
|
|
|
The General Partner is the sole trading advisor for the Fund. The use of a
single advisor could mean lack of diversification and, consequently, higher risk. |
|
|
|
|
There is no secondary market for the Units. You may redeem your Units only as
of a month-end. Transfers of Units are subject to limitations. |
|
|
|
|
A Series trading operations may be successful and yet the Series may still
sustain losses if the value of the Series gold position declines by more than the
amount of profits generated by the Series trading operations and interest income.
Likewise, a Series gains, if any, from its gold position may be offset by losses
incurred in its futures and forward trading. |
|
|
|
|
A Series may fail to achieve its objective of maintaining a dollar for dollar
investment in gold or may reduce its normal level of futures and forward trading
activities if gold futures margins increase substantially, in which case the Series may
reduce its gold position and maintain its normal level of futures and forward trading
activities or maintain its gold position and reduce its futures and forward trading
activities, depending on the General Partners assessment of market conditions at that
time. |
|
|
|
|
You will sustain losses if the substantial expenses of a Series are not offset
by trading and/or gold investment profits and interest income. |
|
|
|
|
Each Series is subject to numerous conflicts of interest. |
Investment Considerations
|
|
|
The Fund is designed to maintain a long position in gold in a U.S. dollar
amount approximately equal to the total capital of each Series as of the beginning of
each month. The gold investment of each Series is intended to de-link the Series net
asset value, which is denominated in U.S. dollars, from the value of the U.S. dollar
relative to gold, essentially denominating the Series net asset value in terms of
gold. However, if the U.S. dollar value of gold declines resulting in dollar losses for
the Series, there can be no assurance that there will be a corresponding increase in
the value or purchasing power of the U.S. dollar for goods (other than gold) or
services priced in dollars. Further, there can be no assurance that trading losses
incurred in the Funds speculative futures and forward trading will not result in
overall losses for the Series or that the Series will not reduce its gold position if
gold futures margin requirements increase significantly. |
|
|
|
|
|
The Fund is a leveraged investment fund, managed by an experienced,
professional trading advisor, which trades in a wide range of futures and forward
markets. |
|
|
|
|
|
The General Partner utilizes a proprietary, systematic trading system for each
Series. Trading decisions are not discretionary and thus do not involve human emotional
responses to changing market conditions. |
|
|
|
|
An investment in the Units has the potential to help diversify traditional
securities portfolios. A diverse portfolio consisting of assets that perform in an
unrelated manner, or non-correlated assets, may increase overall return and/or reduce
the volatility (a widely used measure of risk) of a traditional portfolio of stocks and
bonds. However, for a non-correlated asset to increase a traditional portfolios
overall returns, the non-correlated asset must outperform either stocks or bonds over
the period being measured. There can be no assurance that a Series will outperform
other sectors of an investors portfolio over any given time period or not produce
losses. |
|
|
|
|
The Fund holds substantially all of its assets (including those assets used as
margin deposits for trading activities) in U.S. government securities and/or interest
bearing deposit accounts, |
3
|
|
|
segregated by Series. Accordingly, each Series, in addition to its potential to
profit from its gold investment and active trading operations, earns interest on all
or almost all of its assets. |
|
|
|
|
The Series in which you invest must experience certain levels of trading
profits in order for you to break even on your investment. Based on an initial
investment of $5,000 (and assuming no changes in net asset value and interest income of
0.10%), the break even points for each Series are as follows: Series A-1 6.90%
($345.00); Series A-2 4.90% ($245.00); Series B-1 7.90% ($395.00); Series B-2 -
5.90% ($295.00). A more detailed break even analysis begins at page 5. |
|
Limited Liability
Investors cannot lose more than the amount of their investments and undistributed profits, if
any. Thus, investors receive the advantage of limited liability in a highly leveraged trading
vehicle.
Redemptions, Distributions, Transfers and Exchanges
The Fund is intended to be a medium- to long-term, i.e., 3- to 5-year, investment. However,
monthly redemptions are permitted, without penalty or any redemption charge, upon five (5) business
days written notice to the General Partner. Redemption proceeds will be paid in U.S. dollars. Due
to the availability of monthly redemptions, the General Partner does not intend to make any
distributions, and the trading profits of a Series, if any, will be reinvested in the Series. Upon
written request, an investment in either Series may be exchanged for an investment in the other
Series by a simultaneous redemption and reinvestment at the then applicable respective net asset
values of each Series. Units are transferable with the consent of the General Partner.
Charges to Each Series
The Funds charges are substantial and must be offset by trading gains and/or gold investment
profits and interest income in order to avoid depletion of each Series assets. The fees and
expenses applicable to each Series are as follows:
The General Partner
|
|
|
2.25% of net assets annual management fee (1/12 of 2.25% payable monthly) for each Series. |
|
|
|
|
A performance fee of 25% of new appreciation (if any) in each Series net
assets, computed on a monthly basis, excluding interest income and changes in the value
of the Series dollar for dollar investment in gold and adjusted for subscriptions and
redemptions. New appreciation is the increase in a Series net asset value since the
last time a performance fee was paid. Please see Charges to Each Series Performance
Fee for a more detailed discussion of new appreciation and the performance fee. |
Selling Agents and Others
|
|
|
Within each Series, Units will be issued in two Sub-Series. Series A-1 Units
and Series B-1 Units are subject to, and will pay Superfund USA, Inc., a selling
commission of up to 10% of the gross offering proceeds of the Units by paying 2% of the
average month-end net asset value of such Units in monthly installments of 1/12 of 2%
of the month-end net asset value of such Units. Thus, the Series A-1 Units and
Series B-1 Units are charged a commission of 2% of the average month-end net asset
value per Unit in the initial year after purchase. These Units are charged additional
selling commissions of 2% per annum of the average month-end net asset value per Unit
thereafter; provided, however, that the maximum cumulative selling commission per Unit
is limited to 10% of the gross offering proceeds for such Unit. Superfund USA, Inc. may
retain additional selling agents to assist with the placement of the Units and will pay
all or a portion of |

|
|
|
the annual selling commission it receives in respect of the Units sold by the
additional selling agents to the additional selling agents effecting the sales. |
|
|
|
|
|
Series A-2 Units and Series B-2 Units are not subject to selling commissions but are
available exclusively to: (i) investors participating in selling agent asset-based
or fixed-fee investment programs or a registered investment advisers asset-based
fee or fixed-fee advisory program through which an investment adviser recommends a
portfolio allocation to the Fund and for which Superfund USA, Inc. serves as selling
agent, (ii) investors who purchased the Units through Superfund USA, Inc. or an
affiliated broker and who are commodity pools operated by commodity pool operators
registered as such with the NFA, and (iii) investors who have paid the maximum
selling commission on their Series A-1 or Series B-1 Units (by redesignation of such
Units as Series A-2 Units or Series B-2 Units). |
|
|
|
|
|
Once a Series A-1 Unit or Series B-1 Unit has been charged selling commissions
totaling 10% of the sale price of such Unit, the Unit will not be charged any
further selling commissions and the net asset value of such Unit will be
recalculated, and the Unit will be redesignated, in terms of Series A-2 Units or
Series B-2 Units, as applicable, against which selling commissions are not charged.
The redesignation of Series A-1 Units to Series A-2 or Series B-1 Units to
Series B-2 will have no impact on the net asset value of an investors investment in
the Fund at the time of such redesignation. |
|
|
|
$12.00 brokerage commission per round-turn futures transaction (i.e., purchase
and sale or sale and purchase) plus applicable regulatory and exchange fees will be
charged, where brokerage commissions are charged in U.S. dollars, a portion of which
will be paid to the clearing brokers for execution and clearing costs and the balance
of which will be paid to Superfund Asset Management, Inc., which will serve as
introducing broker for each Series. Brokerage commissions for certain foreign futures
contracts to be traded by the Fund are charged in currencies other than the U.S.
dollar. Commission rates for brokerage commissions charged in foreign currencies will
be reset on the first business day of each calendar month to the foreign currency
equivalent of $12.00 based on the then current U.S. dollar exchange rate for the
applicable foreign currencies. Daily fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates
will, however, cause the actual commissions charged to the Fund for certain foreign
futures contracts to be more or less than $12.00 per round-turn. |

Actual operating and ongoing offering expenses (including the costs of updating
this Prospectus and registering additional Units for sale to the public), such as
legal, auditing, administration, escrow, printing and postage costs. Ongoing offering
expenses will not exceed 0.3625% of the gross offering proceeds of the Units registered
pursuant to the Registration Statement of which the Prospectus is part. Operating
expenses are not expected to exceed 0.70% of the average month-end net assets each year
of each Series. The General Partner will assume liability for ongoing offering and
operating expenses, when considered together, in excess of 0.75% of average month-end
net assets per year of each Series. |
|
The General Partner, or an affiliate, paid, without reimbursement, the Funds organizational
costs, and you will not bear any part of those costs.
Break-Even Analysis
The following tables show the fees and expenses that an investor would incur on an initial

The foregoing break-even analyses are approximations only and assume a
constant $5,000 net asset value and break-even months during the first
year of an investors investment in a Series. |
|
|
|
|
(1) |
|
No performance fees will be charged until break-even costs are met.
However, because the General Partners performance fee is payable
monthly, and the General Partner is not obligated to return
performance fees once earned, it is possible for the General Partner
to earn a performance fee during a break-even or losing year if, after
payment of a performance fee, the Fund incurs losses resulting in a
break-even or losing year. It is impossible to predict what
performance fee, if any, could be paid during a break-even or losing
year, thus none is shown. |
|
|
(2) |
|
The maximum cumulative selling commission per Series A-1 and Series
B-1 Unit sold pursuant to this Prospectus is capped at 10% of the
gross offering proceeds for each such Unit. Series A-2 Units and
Series B-2 Units are not subject to selling commissions. |
|
|
|
(3) |
|
Ongoing offering expenses will not exceed 0.3625% of the gross
offering proceeds of the Units registered pursuant to the Registration
Statement of which the Prospectus is part. Operating expenses are not
expected to exceed 0.70% of the average month-end net assets each year
of each Series. The General Partner will assume liability for ongoing
offering and operating expenses, when considered together, in excess
of 0.75% of average month-end net assets per year of each Series. |

Assumes 1,667 round-turn transactions for Series A and 2,500
round-turn transactions for Series B per million dollars per year at a
rate of $12 per round-turn transaction. These assumptions are based
on the average number of round-turn transactions per million dollars
per year traded on behalf of each Series since the Funds inception
and the average risk capital of each Series allocated to the Funds
short-term systematic, technical trading strategy since July 1, 2010.
The Funds Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement
(the Partnership Agreement) provides that brokerage commission costs
borne by the Fund shall not exceed 5% (Series A) and 7% (Series B)
annually of the average annual net assets of the Series. |

Estimated. Interest income reflects an assumed interest rate of 0.10%
per annum based on current cash market information. |
|
|
|
The twelve-month break-even points shown are dependent on interest
income of 0.10% per annum. If interest income earned is less, the
Series will have to earn trading profits greater than the amounts
shown to cover their costs. Actual interest to be earned by the Fund
will be at the prevailing rates for the period being measured which
may be less than or greater than 0.10% over any twelve month period. |

Federal Income Tax Aspects
Each Series will be classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As such, you
will be taxed each year on the income attributable to the Series in which you invest whether or not
you redeem Units or receive distributions from the Series.
To the extent the Fund invests in futures and other commodity contracts, gain or loss on such
investments will, depending on the contracts traded, consist of a mixture of: (1) ordinary income
or loss; and/or (2) capital gain or loss. Forty percent (40%) of trading profits, if any, on U.S.
exchange-traded futures contracts and certain foreign currency forward contracts are taxed as
short-term capital gains at ordinary income rates and the remaining sixty percent (60%) is taxed as
long-term capital gains at a lower maximum rate for non-corporate investors. Trading gains or
losses from other contracts will be primarily short-term capital gains or losses, and interest
income is taxed at ordinary income rates.
For non-corporate investors, capital losses on the Units may be deducted against capital gains
but may only be deducted against ordinary income to the extent of $3,000 per year. Therefore, you
could pay tax on a Series interest income even though your overall investment in the Fund has been
unprofitable.
Is Superfund Gold, L.P. a Suitable Investment for You?
The primary objective of the Fund is to maintain its dollar for dollar gold position while
seeking appreciation of its assets over time by trading a diversified portfolio of futures and
forward contracts. An investment in Units may fit within your portfolio allocation strategy if you
are interested in the Funds potential to produce returns generally unrelated to traditional
securities investments and the de-linking of the Funds net asset value from the value of the U.S.
dollar relative to gold resulting from the maintenance of the dollar for dollar gold position.
An investment in Units is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. The Series are not
complete investment programs. The General Partner offers the Units as a diversification opportunity
for an investors entire investment portfolio, and therefore an investment in Units should only be
a limited portion of the investors portfolio. To invest, you must, at a minimum, have:
|
(1) |
|
a net worth of at least $250,000, exclusive of home,
furnishings and automobiles; or |
|
|
(2) |
|
a net worth, similarly calculated, of at least $70,000 and an
annual gross income of at least $70,000. |
Some jurisdictions in which the Units are offered impose higher minimum suitability standards
on prospective investors. These suitability standards are, in each case, regulatory minimums only,
and merely because you meet such standards does not mean that an investment in the Units is
suitable for you. See Exhibit C to this Prospectus Subscription Representations.
You may not invest more than 10% of your net worth, exclusive of home, furnishings and
automobiles, in the Fund.
Subscription Procedure
To Subscribe for Units, you must complete and sign the subscription documents that accompany
this Prospectus and deliver them to your selling agent at least five business days prior to the
applicable month-end closing date. Payment instructions are included with the subscription
documents. Subscription documents deemed valid and complete by the General Partner will be
accepted, within five business days of receipt of a subscription, once subscription payments have
been received and cleared. Investors purchases will be confirmed by their selling agents,
generally within five business days after the applicable month-end closing. The General Partner
will notify investors of, and will return, rejected subscriptions within five business days
following the applicable month-end
8
closing or sooner if practicable. No interest is earned while subscriptions are being processed.
See Plan of Distribution.
Reports
Within 30 calendar days after the end of each month, the General Partner will distribute to
investors a monthly report of the Fund. The General Partner will also distribute an annual report
of the Fund within 90 calendar days after the end of the Funds fiscal year and will provide
investors with federal income tax information for the Fund by March 15 of each year.
The General Partner will calculate the approximate net asset value per Unit of each Series on
a daily basis, both in U.S. dollars and in ounces of gold, and will furnish such information upon
request to any Limited Partner.
Commodity Futures Trading Commission Rules require that this Prospectus be accompanied by
summary financial information, which may be a recent monthly report of the Fund, current within 60
calendar days.

Organizational Chart
The organizational chart below illustrates the relationships among the various service providers of this offering. Superfund
Capital Management, Inc. is both the general partner and trading advisor for the Fund. The selling agents (other than
Superfund USA, Inc.) and clearing brokers are not affiliated with Superfund Capital Management, Inc. or Superfund Gold, L.P.
(1) Superfund Capital Management, Inc. will maintain an investment in each Series of Superfund
Gold, L.P. of at least 1% of the net asset value of each such Series (including Superfund
Capital Management, Inc.s investment).
Descriptions of the dealings between Superfund Capital Management, Inc. and its affiliates and
the Fund are set forth below under Conflicts of Interest and Charges to Each Series.
10
THE RISKS YOU FACE
The Fund Is Speculative; You Could Lose All or Substantially All of Your Investment in a Series
An investment in the Fund is a speculative investment. You will be relying on the General
Partner to trade profitably and on the price of gold to rise or not to decrease substantially,
neither of which can be assured. Consequently, you could lose all or substantially all of your
investment in a Series.
The Fund Has Only a Limited Performance History for You to Evaluate When Making a Decision Whether
or Not to Invest in a Series
The Fund has a limited performance history for you to evaluate when making your investment
decision. Although past performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance, a longer
performance history might provide you with potentially valuable information about the rate of
return experience of the Series in various market conditions. However, as the Fund has only a
limited performance history, you will have to make your investment decision without the benefit of
more performance information. The past performance of the Fund, the General Partner or the General
Partners affiliates is not necessarily indicative of the future results of either Series.
The Fund Is Highly Leveraged; Leverage Magnifies Losses as Well as Gains
Because the amount of margin funds necessary to enter into a futures or forward contract
position is typically about 2% to 10% of the total value of the contract, the Series are able to
hold positions with notional, or face, values far greater than each Series net assets.
The General Partner anticipates that, with respect to its speculative futures and forward
contract trading, Series A will acquire futures and forward contracts with a notional, or face,
value of approximately four to seven times Series As net assets and that Series B will acquire
futures and forward contracts with a notional, or face, value of approximately six to nine times
Series Bs net assets, although, at any given time, the notional value of a Series futures and
forward contracts may be greater than or less than the limits of these anticipated ranges. As a
result of this leveraging, even a small adverse movement in the price of a contract can cause major
losses.
The Performance of the Fund Is Expected To Be Volatile; Volatile Performances Can Result in Sudden
Large Losses.
The General Partner expects the performance of each Series to be volatile. Futures and forward
contract prices have a high degree of variability and are subject to occasional rapid and
substantial changes, and the value of the Units may suffer substantial loss from time to time. The
net asset value per Unit may change substantially between the date on which you subscribe for Units
and the date on which your Units are issued or the date on which you request a redemption and the
month-end redemption date. Since it commenced trading operations in April 2009 through February
2011, monthly returns in the Fund have ranged from up 20.03% to down 13.49% for its Series A-1
Units, from up 20.15% to down 13.35% for its Series A-2 Units, from up 33.75% to down 20.62% for
its Series B-1 Units and from up 33.97% to down 20.48% for its Series B-2 Units.
Various factors may influence the price movements of commodity interests, such as: changing
supply and demand relationships; weather; agricultural, trade, fiscal, monetary and exchange
control programs and policies of governments; United States and foreign political and economic
events and policies; changes in national and international interest rates and rates of inflation;
currency devaluations and revaluations; and emotions of the marketplace. None of these factors can
be controlled by the General Partner and no assurance can be given that the General Partners
advice will result in profitable trades for a participating customer or that a customer will not
incur substantial losses.
The Funds Forward Transactions Are Not Currently Regulated and Are Subject to Credit Risk
The Fund, as an eligible contract participant, trades forward contracts in foreign currencies
through the over-the-counter (OTC) dealer market which is dominated by major money center banks
and is currently
11
substantially unregulated. Thus, you do not receive the same protection as provided to futures
traders in United States markets by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) regulatory
scheme or the statutory scheme of the Commodity Exchange Act. Each Series faces the risk of
non-performance by the counterparties to the forward contracts and such non-performance may cause
some or all of a Series gain, if any, on its forward trading to be unrealized.
The interbank currency markets may in the near future become subject to regulation under the
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Reform Act), a development which
may entail increased costs and result in burdensome reporting requirements. The imposition of
credit controls by governmental authorities or the implementation of regulations pursuant to the
Reform Act might limit such forward trading to less than that which the General Partner would
otherwise recommend, to the possible detriment of the Fund.
Foreign Currency Trading
Currency forward markets are substantially unregulated and price movements in such markets are
caused by many unpredictable factors including general economic and financial conditions,
governmental policies, national and international political and economic events, and changes in
interest rates. Such factors combined with the lack of regulation could expose each Series to
significant losses which they might otherwise have avoided.
Currency forward positions can be established using less margin than is typical for futures
contracts. Thus, a small movement in the price of the underlying currency can result in a
substantial price movement relative to the margin deposit. In addition, cash foreign currencies
are traded through a dealer market and not on an exchange. This presents the risks of both
counterparty creditworthiness and possible default or bankruptcy by the counterparty.
The Reform Act amended the definition of eligible contract participant, and the CFTC has
proposed regulations the result of which may be that each Series will no longer be permitted to
engage in currency forward transactions by directly accessing the interbank market. Rather, when
the Reform Act goes into effect in July 2011, each Series may be limited to engaging in foreign
currency futures transactions and, for off-exchange transactions, retail forex transactions which
could limit each Series potential currency forward counterparties to futures commission merchants
and retail foreign exchange dealers. Thus, limiting each Series potential currency forward
counterparties could lead to the Fund bearing higher upfront and mark-to-market margin, less
favorable trade pricing, and the possible imposition of new or increased fees. The retail forex
markets could also be significantly less liquid than the interbank market. Moreover, the
creditworthiness of the futures commission merchants and retail foreign exchange dealers with whom
each Series may be required to trade could be significantly weaker than the creditworthiness of the
financial institutions with whom each Series currently engages for its currency forward
transactions.
Fees and Commissions Are Charged Regardless of Profitability and Will Cause Losses If Not Offset by
Profits and Interest Income; If Profitable, a Series Will Pay Substantial Performance Fees
The Fund is subject to substantial charges payable irrespective of profitability in addition
to performance fees which are payable based on each Series profitability. Each Series must have
profits from its trading and/or gold investment and interest income to avoid losses. In order to
break-even during the first twelve months of investment, the Units must return approximately 6.90%
(Series A-1 Units), 7.90% (Series B-1 Units), 4.90% (Series A-2 Units) and 5.90% (Series B-2
Units). If profitable, given the rate at which the management fee is charged, a Series will pay a
performance fee that is approximately 2.7% greater than that recommended by the North American
Securities Administrators Association, in the Associations guidelines for public commodity pools,
resulting in somewhat lower profits for investors in the Series than would be the case if the
performance fee were less.
An Investment in the Fund is Not a Liquid Investment; Investors Remain Liable for Fund Liabilities
Incurred After Submitting Redemption Notices but Before the Month-End Redemption Date, and You Will
Not be Able to Limit Your Losses or Realize Accrued Profits Except at a Month-End
There is no secondary market for the Units. While the Units have redemption rights,
redemptions are permitted only at the end of a month upon five (5) business days prior written
notice to the Fund, and redeeming
12
investors remain liable for the liabilities of the Series in which they invest until they are
redeemed at month-end. Transfers of the Units are permitted only upon 30 days advance written
notice to the Fund. Because Units cannot be readily liquidated, it will not be possible for you to
limit losses or realize accrued profits, if any, except at a month-end in accordance with the
Funds redemption provisions.
Lack of Liquidity in the Markets in Which the Fund Trades Could Make It Impossible to Realize
Profits or Limit Losses
Futures and forward positions cannot always be liquidated at the desired price. It is
difficult to execute a trade at a specific price when there is a relatively small volume of buy and
sell orders in a market. A market disruption, such as when foreign governments may take or be
subject to political actions which disrupt the markets in their currency or major exports, can also
make it difficult to liquidate a position.
Unexpected market illiquidity has caused major losses in the recent past in such sectors as
emerging markets, mortgage-backed securities and other credit related instruments. There can be no
assurance that the same will not happen in the futures markets generally, or in certain futures
markets, at any time or from time to time. The large size of the positions the Series may take
increases the risk of illiquidity by both making its positions more difficult to liquidate and
increasing the losses incurred while trying to do so.
United States commodity exchanges impose limits over the amount the price of some, but not
all, futures contracts may change on any day. If a market has moved adversely to a Series position
and has reached the daily price limit, it may be impossible for the Series to liquidate its
position until the limit is expanded by the exchange or the contract begins to trade away from the
limit price. In addition, even if futures prices have not reached the daily price limit, the Fund
may not be able to execute futures trades at favorable prices if little trading in such contracts
is taking place.
The Fund Trades Extensively in Foreign Markets Which May Not Be Subject to the Same Level of
Regulatory Oversight as Trading in Domestic Markets
A substantial portion of the Funds trades take place on markets or exchanges outside the
United States. The risk of loss in trading foreign futures contracts and foreign options can be
substantial. Non-U.S. markets may not be subject to the same degree of regulation as their U.S.
counterparts. None of the CFTC, NFA or any domestic exchange regulates activities of any foreign
boards of trade or has the power to compel enforcement of the rules of a foreign board of trade or
any applicable foreign laws. In addition, some foreign exchanges are principals markets in which
performance is the responsibility only of the individual exchange member counterparty, not of the
exchange or a clearing facility. In such cases, the Fund will be subject to the risk that the
member with whom the Fund has traded is unable or unwilling to perform its obligations under the
transaction.
Trading on foreign exchanges also presents the risk of loss due to the possible imposition of
exchange controls (making it difficult or impossible for the Fund to repatriate some or all of the
Series assets held by foreign counterparties), government expropriation of assets, taxation,
government intervention in markets, limited rights in the event of bankruptcy of a foreign
counterparty or exchange and variances in foreign exchange rates between the time a position is
entered and the time it is exited.
If the Series Do Not Perform in a Manner Non-Correlated with the General Financial Markets or Do
Not Perform Successfully, You Will Not Obtain Any Diversification Benefits by Investing in the
Units and You May Have No Gains to Offset Your Losses from Other Investments
Historically, managed futures have been generally non-correlated to the performance of other
asset classes such as stocks and bonds. Non-correlation means that there is no statistically valid
relationship between the past performance of futures and forward contracts on the one hand and
stocks or bonds on the other hand. Non-correlation should not be confused with negative
correlation, where the performance of two asset classes would be opposite each other. Because of
this non-correlation, the Series cannot be expected to be automatically profitable during
unfavorable periods for the stock or bond markets, or vice versa. If the Series do not perform in a
manner non-correlated with the general financial markets or do not perform successfully, you will
not obtain any
13
diversification benefits by investing in the Units and you may have no gains to offset your losses
from other investments.
A Series May Be Subject to a Performance Fee Despite the Units Having Declined in Value Further
Depressing the Value of Such Units
Series performance fees are calculated on the basis of the new appreciation in the net asset
value of each Sub-Series due to futures and forward trading performance, excluding interest income
and changes in the value of the Series dollar for dollar gold position. Consequently, the General
Partner may earn a performance fee for its trading performance even though the dollar value of the
Units held by an investor has declined due to a decrease in the dollar value of gold. Additionally,
Units may incur losses generating a loss carryforward for purposes of calculating subsequent
performance fees payable by a Series. The benefit of any such loss carryforward will be diluted by
the admission of new Limited Partners to such Series, and the differential between any loss
carryforwards attributable to the Sub-Series within each Series will be eliminated with respect to
Series 1 Units redesignated as Series 2 Units after selling commissions are no longer chargeable to
such Series 1 Units.
Gains, If Any, From a Series Futures and Forward Trading May Be Offset by Losses on Its Gold
Position, and Gains, If Any, on Its Gold Position May be Offset by Losses From Its Futures and
Forward Trading, Resulting in No Gains or Aggregate Losses for the Series
An investment in a Series is not equivalent to an investment in gold. Rather, it is an
investment in a product that combines a gold investment with a systematic, primarily
trend-following, futures and forward trading program. The gold investment is intended to de-link
each Series net asset value, which is denominated in U.S. dollars, from the value of the U.S.
dollar relative to gold, essentially denominating the Series net asset value in terms of gold.
Consequently, if the U.S. dollar value of gold declines, gains, if any, from the Series futures
and forward trading may not be sufficient for the Series to avoid a decline in the net asset value
of its Units expressed in U.S. dollars, the currency in which Units are redeemed. Likewise, losses
from a Series futures and forward trading may be greater than any increase in the U.S. dollar
value of gold resulting in a decline in the net asset value of the Units. Additionally, there can
be no assurance that, if the value of gold declines relative to the U.S. dollar, there will be any
corresponding increase in the value or purchasing power of the U.S. dollar for goods (other than
gold) or services priced in U.S. dollars.
The Series May Reduce Their Gold Positions or Their Futures and Forward Trading Activity If Gold
Margin Requirements Increase Substantially, Thereby Changing the Nature of Your Investment in a
Series
If the margin requirements for a Series gold futures position should increase substantially,
the General Partner, in its discretion, may reduce, or eliminate, the Series gold position so as
to be able to continue the Series futures and forward trading. If the General Partner reduces a
Series gold position, the Series will not achieve its objective of maintaining a gold investment
approximately equal to the net asset value of the Series at the beginning of each month, possibly
resulting in a lost profit opportunity if the value of gold should thereafter appreciate relative
to the U.S. dollar and possibly resulting in a decline in purchasing power of the net asset value
of the Series, expressed in U.S. dollars, if the appreciation in the U.S. dollar value of gold is
the result of inflation in the U.S. dollar price of goods and services. Conversely, the General
Partner, in its discretion, may reduce, or eliminate, the Series futures and forward trading
activities so as to be able to maintain the Series gold investments. If the General Partner
reduces a Series futures and forward trading activity, the Series capital appreciation objective
through trading and investing in a portfolio of futures and forward contracts will be impaired and
the performance of the Fund will become more similar to the performance of an unleveraged
investment in gold.
The U.S. Dollar Price of Gold Has Fluctuated Widely over the Past Several Years. A Decline in the
Price of Gold May Result in a Decline in the Value of the Units, Possibly Resulting in an Overall
Loss on Your Investment
While generally advancing, the price of gold has fluctuated widely over the past several
years. Several factors may affect the price of gold, including: global gold supply and demand,
which is influenced by such factors as forward selling by producers, purchases made by producers to
unwind hedge positions, central bank purchases and sales, and production and cost levels in major
gold producing countries such as South Africa, the United States
14
and Australia; investors expectations with respect to the rate of inflation; currency exchange
rates; interest rates; investment and trading activities of investment funds; and global or
regional political, economic or financial events and situations. You should be aware that there is
no assurance that gold will maintain its value against the U.S. dollar in terms of purchasing
power. There can be no assurance that the price of gold will continue to advance or not decline.
Unless offset by trading profits and interest income, a decline in the price of gold will result in
a decline in the net asset value of the Units expressed in U.S. dollars, the currency in which
Units are redeemed, possibly resulting in an overall loss on your investment.
Large-Scale Sales of Gold May Lead to a Decline in the Price of Gold and a Decline in the Value of
the Units, Possibly Resulting in an Overall Loss on Your Investment
The possibility of large-scale distress sales of gold in times of crisis may have a short-term
negative impact on the price of gold and adversely affect the value of the Units. For example, the
1997 Asian financial crisis resulted in significant sales of gold by individuals which depressed
the price of gold. Crises in the future may impair golds price performance which would, in turn,
adversely affect an investment in the Units. Moreover, substantial sales of gold by the official
sector could adversely affect an investment in the Units. The official sector consists of central
banks, other governmental agencies and multilateral institutions that buy, sell and hold gold as
part of their reserve assets. Since 1999, most gold sales by the official sector have been made in
a coordinated manner under the terms of the Central Bank Gold Agreement. In the event that future
economic, political or social conditions or pressures result in members of the official sector
liquidating their gold assets all at once or in an uncoordinated manner, the demand for gold might
not be sufficient to accommodate the sudden increase in supply. Consequently, the price of gold
could decline significantly, which would adversely affect the value of the Units expressed in U.S.
dollars, the currency in which Units are redeemed, possibly resulting in an overall loss on your
investment.
Widening Interest Rate Differentials Between the Cost of Money and the Cost of Borrowing Gold Could
Result in Increased Sales and a Decline in the Price of Gold, Possibly Resulting in a Decline in
the Value of the Units and a Loss on Your Investment in a Series
A combination of rising interest rates and a continuation of the current low cost of borrowing
gold (the gold lease rate) could improve the economics of selling gold forward. This could result
in increased hedging by gold mining companies and short selling by speculators, which could
adversely affect the price of gold and thus the value of the Units expressed in U.S. dollars, the
currency in which Units are redeemed, possibly resulting in an overall loss on your investment.
The General Partner Analyzes Only Technical Market Data, Not Any Economic Factors External to
Market Prices; Thus External Factors That Dominate Prices Could Result in Losses
The General Partners trading systems are developed on the basis of a statistical analysis of
market prices. Consequently, any factor external to the market itself that dominates prices may
cause major losses. For example, a pending political or economic event may be very likely to cause
a major price movement, but the General Partner would continue to maintain positions indicated by
its trading systems that would incur major losses if the event proved to be adverse.
The General Partner Is Primarily a Trend-Following Trader; An Absence of Price Trends in the
Markets to be Traded by the Series Will Likely Result in Losses
The trading systems used by the General Partner for each Series are primarily technical,
trend-following methods developed on the basis of statistical analysis of market price behavior,
not on the basis of fundamental economic factors. The profitability of trading under these systems
depends on, among other things, the occurrence of significant and sustained price trends, up or
down, in at least some of the futures and forward markets traded by the Series. Such trends may not
develop. There have been periods in the past without price trends in some of the markets traded by
the Series. An absence of price trends in the markets traded by the Series will result in losses.
15
The General Partners Trading Methodology is Subject to Change Over Time
The General Partner may periodically modify its trading methodology without approval by or
notice to Limited Partners, provided, however, that Limited Partners will be notified within 21
calendar days of any material changes in the General Partners trading methodology in accordance
with applicable regulations. Modifications may include changes in or substitution of technical
trading systems, risk control overlays, money management principles and markets traded as well as
the incorporation of non-trend-following systems within the General Partners primary
trend-following methodology and the inclusion of non-technical methods of analysis. For example,
in July 2010 the General Partner integrated a systematic, technical short-term trading strategy
into the Funds primary trend-following methodology. Although the General Partner believes this
modification of the Funds trading strategy will be beneficial to the Fund, there can be no
assurance that this particular trading strategy will not increase the volatility of Fund returns or
not result in losses.
Speculative Position Limits May Alter Trading Decisions for Each Series Possibly Resulting in Loss
The CFTC has established limits on the maximum net long or net short positions which any
person may hold or control in certain futures contracts. Exchanges also have established such
limits, including limits on gold which may have an impact on the ability of the Fund to acquire its
dollar for dollar gold position or may limit the Funds ability to issue new Units. In January
2011, the CFTC proposed a separate position limits regime for 28 so-called exempt (i.e., metal
and energy) and agricultural futures and option contracts and their economically equivalent swap
transactions. All accounts controlled by the General Partner, including the accounts of the
Series, are combined for speculative position limit purposes. If positions in those accounts were
to approach the level of the particular speculative position limit, the General Partner may modify
the trading decisions for the Fund or be forced to liquidate certain futures positions, possibly
resulting in losses.
Increase in Assets Under Management May Affect the General Partners Trading Decisions to the
Detriment of Your Investment in a Series
The General Partner has not agreed to limit the amount of money it may manage and it and its
affiliates are actively seeking to raise additional capital for the investment products they
manage. The more assets the General Partner and its affiliates manage, the more difficult it may be
for the Series to trade profitably because of the difficulty of trading larger positions without
adversely affecting prices and performance. Accordingly, increases in capital under management may
require the General Partner to modify its trading decisions for the Series which could have a
detrimental effect on your investment such as decreasing profits or increasing losses.
Investors Are Taxed Each Year Based on Their Share of Profits Attributable to the Series in Which
They Invest; Investors Must Either Redeem Units to Pay Taxes or Have Other Assets Available to Do
So
Investors are taxed each year on their share of Fund profits, if any, attributable to the
Series in which they invest (including any profits arising out of the Series gold investment)
irrespective of whether they redeem any Units or receive any cash distributions from a Series. All
performance information included in this Prospectus is presented on a pre-tax basis; investors who
experienced such performance may have had to redeem a portion of their investments or, otherwise,
paid the related taxes from other sources.
You Could Owe Taxes on Your Share of Ordinary Income Attributable to a Series Despite Having
Suffered an Overall Loss
Investors may be required to pay tax on their share of ordinary income, from interest and gain
on some foreign futures contracts, attributable to the Series in which they invest even though such
Series incurs overall losses. For non-corporate investors, capital losses can be used only to
offset capital gains and $3,000 of ordinary income each year. Consequently, if a non-corporate
investor were allocated $5,000 of ordinary income and $10,000 of capital losses, the investor would
owe tax on $2,000 of ordinary income even though the investor would have a $5,000 loss for the
year. The remaining $7,000 capital loss may be carried forward and used in subsequent years to
offset capital gain and ordinary income, but would be subject to the same annual limitation on its
deductibility against ordinary income.
16
Recharacterization of the Funds Ordinary Expenses as Investment Advisory Fees Could Result in an
Investor Owing Increased Taxes
The General Partner does not intend to treat the ordinary expenses of the Fund as investment
advisory fees for federal income tax purposes. The General Partner believes that this is the
position adopted by virtually all United States futures fund sponsors. However, were the ordinary
expenses of the Fund characterized as investment advisory fees, non-corporate taxpayers would be
subject to substantial restrictions on the deductibility of those expenses, would pay increased
taxes in respect of an investment in the Units and could actually recognize taxable income despite
having incurred a financial loss.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes May Have Effects on the Periodic Calculations of Net
Asset Value
ASC 740, Income Taxes (in part formerly known as FIN 48), provides guidance on the
recognition of uncertain tax positions. ASC 740 prescribes the minimum recognition threshold that
a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in an entitys financial statements. It
also provides guidance on recognition, measurement, classification and interest and penalties with
respect to tax positions. A prospective investor should be aware that, among other things, ASC 740
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.
The Failure of a Clearing Broker or Currency Dealer Could Result in Losses
The Commodity Exchange Act requires a clearing broker to segregate all funds received from
customers from such brokers proprietary assets. If any of the clearing brokers fails to do so, the
assets of the Fund might not be fully protected in the event of the bankruptcy of the clearing
broker. Furthermore, in the event of any clearing brokers bankruptcy, the Fund would be limited to
recovering only a pro rata share, which may be zero, of all available funds segregated on behalf of
the clearing brokers combined customer accounts. The Funds trading in currency forward contracts
is generally conducted in the dealer market, which is dominated by major money center banks,
currently not subject to the provision of the Commodity Exchange Act. As a result, you do not have
the protections provided by the Commodity Exchange Act in the event of the bankruptcy of a Fund
currency dealer.
The Fund Is Subject to Actual and Potential Conflicts of Interest That Could Result in Losses for
the Fund
The Fund is subject to numerous actual and potential conflicts of interest, including: (1)
the General Partner will not select any other trading advisor for the Fund even if doing so would
be beneficial to the Fund; (2) the affiliation between the General Partner and Superfund Asset
Management, Inc. creates an incentive for the General Partner to trade more frequently than it
otherwise might absent the affiliation; (3) the proprietary trading of the General Partner or its
principals or of the Funds clearing brokers and their affiliates and personnel may increase
competition for positions sought to be entered by the Fund making it more difficult for the Fund to
enter positions at favorable prices; and (4) the compensation that the selling agents, including
Superfund USA, Inc., receive gives them an incentive to promote the sale of Units as well as to
discourage redemptions. See Conflicts of Interest.
Because the General Partner has not established any formal procedures for resolving conflicts
of interest and because there is no independent control over how conflicts of interest are
resolved, you will be dependent on the good faith of the parties with conflicts to resolve the
conflicts equitably. The General Partner cannot assure that conflicts of interest will not result
in losses for the Fund.
No Independent Experts Represented the Interests of Investors; You Must Rely on Your Own
Professional Advisors with Respect to an Investment in a Series
The General Partner has consulted with counsel, accountants and other experts regarding the
formation and operation of the Fund. No counsel has been appointed to represent the Limited
Partners in connection with the
17
offering of the Units. Accordingly, each prospective investor should consult his own legal,
tax and financial advisors with respect to an investment in a Series.
You Will Be Relying on the General Partner Alone to Direct the Funds Trading
The Fund is structured as a single-advisor managed futures fund. Many managed futures funds
are structured as multi-advisor funds to attempt to control risk and reduce volatility through
combining advisors whose historical performance records have exhibited a significant degree of
non-correlation with each other. As a single-advisor managed futures fund, the Series may have
greater volatility and a higher risk of loss than investment vehicles employing multiple advisors.
The incapacity of one or more of the General Partners principals could have a material and
adverse effect on its ability to discharge its obligations under the Partnership Agreement.
Additionally, the General Partner may withdraw as general partner with respect to a Series, or the
Fund as a whole, upon 120 days notice, which would cause such Series, or the Fund, to terminate
unless a substitute general partner were obtained. Neither the General Partner nor its principals
are under any obligation to devote a minimum amount of time to the operation of the Fund.
The Fund Is Not a Regulated Investment Company or Mutual Fund and You Will Not Have the Investor
Protections Afforded Those Investment Vehicles
The Fund is not an investment company subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Accordingly, you do not have the protections afforded by that statute which, for example, requires
investment companies to have a majority of disinterested directors and regulates the relationship
between the adviser and the investment company.
A Bankruptcy Court Could Find the Assets of One Series to Be Available to Offset the Liabilities of
the Other Series, Resulting in Losses for that Series
The Fund is organized as a series limited partnership pursuant to Section 17-218 of the
Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (Section 17-218), with separate series of
limited partnership interests and assets. Section 17-218 provides that, if certain conditions (as
set forth in Section 17-218) are met, the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred,
contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a particular series shall be enforceable only
against the assets of such series and not against the assets of the limited partnership generally
or any other series. Accordingly, the assets of one Series of the Fund include only those funds and
other assets that are paid to, held by or distributed to the Fund on account of and for the benefit
of that Series, including, without limitation, funds delivered to the Fund for the purchase of
Units in that Series. However, the limitations on inter-series liability provided by Section 17-218
have never been tested in court. Thus there is a risk that a court, and in particular, a Bankruptcy
Court, could determine that the assets of one Series should be applied to meet the liabilities of
the other Series or the liabilities of the Fund generally where the assets of such other Series or
of the Fund generally are insufficient to meet its liabilities.
Regulatory Change Applicable to the Fund is Impossible to Predict and May be Adverse to the Fund
The futures markets are subject to comprehensive regulation. In addition, the CFTC and the
exchanges are authorized to take extraordinary actions in the event of a market emergency,
including, suspending trading. Market regulation in the United States is a rapidly changing area of
law and is subject to modification by government and judicial action. In addition, various national
governments have expressed concern regarding the disruptive effects of speculative trading in the
currency markets and the need to regulate the derivatives markets in general. The effect of any
future regulatory change, including the imposition of position limits or other limitations on
speculative trading in commodities or futures generally, on the Series is impossible to predict,
but could be substantial and adverse.
18
Forwards, Swaps and Other Derivatives Are Subject to Varying CFTC Regulation; the Fund Could Incur
Losses due to Counterparty Default
The Fund may trade swaps and other OTC contracts in addition to currency forward contracts.
Swap agreements involve trading income streams such as a fixed rate payment for a floating rate
payment. Currently, there is no exchange and there is a limited usage of clearinghouses for these
contracts, and traders must rely on the creditworthiness of the counterparty to fulfill the
obligations of the transaction.
The Reform Act includes provisions that comprehensively regulate the OTC derivatives markets
for the first time. The Reform Act mandates a substantial portion of OTC derivatives be executed
in regulated markets and submitted for clearing to regulated clearinghouses. The mandates imposed
by the Reform Act may result in the Fund bearing higher upfront and mark-to-market margin, less
favorable trade pricing, and the possible imposition of new or increased fees.
Options Trading by the Fund May Result in Losses
Options on futures contracts may be used by the Fund to generate premium income or in lieu of
futures contracts. Futures options involve risks similar to futures in that options are speculative
and highly leveraged. The buyer of an option risks losing the entire purchase price (the premium)
of the option. The writer (seller) of an option risks losing the difference between the premium
received for the option and the price of the commodity or futures contract underlying the option
which the writer must purchase or deliver upon exercise of the option (which losses can be
unlimited). Specific market movements of the commodities or futures contracts underlying an option
cannot be accurately predicted.
A Computer Systems Failure Could Result in Losses for the Fund
The General Partners strategies are dependent to a significant degree on the proper
functioning of its internal computer systems. Accordingly, systems failures, whether due to
failures by third parties upon which such systems are dependent or the failure of the General
Partners hardware or software, could disrupt trading or make trading impossible until such failure
is remedied. Any such failure, and consequential inability to trade (even for a short time), could,
in certain market conditions, cause the fund to experience significant trading losses or to miss
opportunities for profitable trading. Any such failures could also cause a temporary delay in
reports to investors. Similarly, a systems failure of any of the Funds futures brokers or forward
or swap dealers or of any exchange on which the Fund is trading could cause the fund to experience
significant trading losses or to miss opportunities for profitable trading.

Trading Strategy
Each Series is designed to maintain a long position in gold futures contracts with a notional,
or face, value approximately equal to the net asset value of the Series, that is the dollar for
dollar gold position. The dollar for dollar gold position of each Series is intended to de-link
the Series net asset value, which is denominated in U.S. dollars, from the value of the U.S.
dollar relative to gold, essentially denominating the Series net asset value in terms of gold.
However, if the U.S. dollar value of gold declines resulting in dollar losses for the Series, there
can be no assurance that there will be a corresponding increase in the value or purchasing power of
the U.S. dollar for goods (other than gold) or services priced in dollars.
To obtain its dollar for dollar gold position, the Series enter into futures contracts to
purchase gold. The General Partner adjusts each Series gold position, at the beginning of each
month, to reflect monthly additions to and redemptions of Series capital as well as to reflect
profits and losses from the Series futures and forward trading activities and interest income as
of the end of the preceding month so that the notional, or face, value of the gold position at the
beginning of each month is approximately equal to the Series net asset value at the beginning of
each month. However, because the Series gold positions are adjusted only once each month, profits
or losses incurred on a Series gold position or from a Series speculative futures and forward
trading and interest income earned by a Series during a month may cause the notional, or face,
value of a Series gold position at any time during a month to be greater than or less than the
Series net asset value at the beginning of the month.
Notwithstanding the dollar for dollar gold position, the Series are not designed to be gold
funds, and, due to the Series speculative trading activities described below, Series performance
will not necessarily track the price of gold. Likewise, the net asset value of the Series will not
be determined solely by the price of gold.
In addition to maintaining its dollar for dollar gold position, the Fund trades speculatively
in the U.S. and international futures and foreign currency forward markets. The General Partner
makes futures and forward trading decisions for each Series using a proprietary, fully-automated
computerized trading system, which generates buy
21
and sell trading signals and monitors relevant technical indicators on a broad array of
futures and foreign currency markets in the U.S., Canada, Europe and Asia. The Superfund
proprietary trading system is licensed on a non-exclusive basis to the General Partner. By using a
fully-automated trading system, human emotions are removed from the capital management process.
The General Partners trading strategy is based primarily on the implementation of a
four-point philosophy consisting of (i) market diversification, (ii) technical analysis, (iii)
systematic, primarily trend-following, trading systems, and (iv) money management. The Superfund
trading system scans over 120 different futures and foreign currency markets worldwide on a daily
basis attempting to identify possible opportunities that fit within the General Partners selection
criteria. The Superfund trading system emphasizes instruments with low correlation to each other
and high liquidity for trade order execution. The primary sectors that the Fund may trade are:
stock indices, currencies, bonds, grains, energies, metals (including gold), agricultural markets
and livestock. Of course not all markets are traded at all times and from time to time trades may
be concentrated in only a few markets or market sectors.
The General Partner believes that the key to identifying potentially profitable trends using
technical analysis is in the way the technical indicators and parameters interrelate and are
combined. The Superfund trading system is designed to identify market patterns that offer high
reward to risk potential based on historical data. For example, the decision to establish new
positions is generally based on a proprietary algorithm that seeks to identify market trends at an
early stage of formation. These trends can last from days to months. Trend identification is
accomplished by analyzing technical indicators and parameters such as moving averages, Bollinger
bands, which are technical channel indicators calculated as multiples of the standard deviation
above and below a moving average, and other technical indicators. Once potential trades are
identified, the system applies additional filters at the trade level with respect to trend and
volatility analysis and, before generating definite buy or sell signals, takes into consideration
macro variables such as overall risk capital available for trading and portfolio volatility.
Effective July 1, 2010, the General Partner integrated a systematic, technical short-term
trading strategy into the Funds primary trend-following methodology. This short-term strategy
seeks trading opportunities arising out of short-term changes in futures and forward market prices,
with trades lasting from less than a day to more than a week, and has exhibited low correlation to
the trend-following methodology historically utilized by the Fund and is expected to diversify the
Funds sources of return. Trading decisions are based on proprietary algorithms that seek to
identify short-term trading opportunities, whether within a larger market trend or other market
pattern or otherwise, through an analysis of technical indicators, and are generated on a fully
automated basis without human emotional bias.
With respect to money management, before entering new positions, the Superfund trading system
defines the maximum open risk per position based on market correlation and market volatility. This
money management filter is also applied after positions have been established, on a daily basis per
market, and the Superfund trading system adjusts existing stop order levels or reduces position
size if the proprietary pre-defined risk measures are met or exceeded due to market volatility or
changes in market correlation. Finally, positions are exited either by being stopped out or
adjusted as a result of the changes in volatility or market correlation.
Once finally determined, trade instructions are transmitted to Superfund Asset Management,
Inc., which serves as the Funds introducing broker, for execution through the Funds executing and
clearing brokers.
The General Partner implements the trading signals generated by the Superfund trading system
with respect to gold apart from the dollar for dollar gold position established at the beginning of
each month. As a consequence, the aggregate value of the Funds gold position will be more than the
net asset value of the Fund where the Superfund trading system indicates a long position in gold or
less than the net asset value of the Fund where the Superfund trading system indicates a short
position in gold.
Over the long term (periods of several years), the General Partners targeted average ratio of
margin to equity for Series A is approximately 20% and approximately 30% for Series B. Over shorter
time periods, the average ratio of margin to equity for each Series can range from 0% to more than
60% due to factors such as market volatility and changes in margin requirements, and there can be
no assurance that targeted average margin to equity ratios will be met. Accordingly, the General
Partner anticipates that the notional, or face, value of the futures and
22
forward positions acquired in connection with Series As speculative trading activities will
range from four to seven times Series As net asset value and that the notional, or face, value of
the futures and forward positions acquired in connection with Series Bs speculative trading
activities will range from six to nine times Series Bs net asset value. Because of the increased
leverage employed by Series B, it is expected to have more volatile performance than Series A.
In addition to the assets used to margin the Series speculative futures and forward contracts
trading, each Series uses approximately 4% to 6% of its assets to margin its dollar for dollar gold
position.
The trading method, systems, and money management techniques employed by the General Partner
are proprietary and confidential. The foregoing description is general and is not intended to be
complete. There can be no assurance that the General Partners trading systems will successfully
identify trades that the Fund can capitalize on or produce results similar to those produced in the
past for other funds managed by the General Partner or its affiliates.

PAST PERFORMANCE OF SUPERFUND GOLD, L.P.
Set forth below are the performance records of the Fund, on a Series by Series basis, since
the inception of trading of each Series through February 2011. Effective July 1, 2010, the General
Partner integrated a systematic, technical short-term trading strategy into the Funds primary
trend-following methodology. This short-term strategy seeks trading opportunities arising out of
short term changes in futures and forward market prices, with trades lasting from less than a day
to more than a week, and has exhibited low correlation to the trend-following methodology
historically utilized by the Fund. PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE
RESULTS.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Introduction
The Fund was organized on March 19, 2008 under the Delaware Limited Partnership Act and
commenced operations on April 1, 2009.
The Fund is a commodity pool which trades pursuant to the General Partners diversified
futures and forward systematic, primarily trend-following, trading program while maintaining an
investment in gold approximately equal to the total capital of each Series as of the beginning of
each month.
The success of the Funds futures and forward trading depends on the ability of the General
Partners trading program to identify significant upward or downward movements, such as trends or
other patterns which indicate the potential to profit from a change in futures and forward price
movements. The General Partners futures and forward trading program is entirely quantitative in
nature and generates trading signals on the basis of statistical analyses of past price histories
and current price action. Fundamental factors affecting the prices of commodities and financial
instruments, such as economic conditions, political events, weather factors, etc., are not directly
relevant to the General Partners trading program, although there are frequent periods during which
fundamental factors external to the market dominate prices.
Effective July 1, 2010, the General Partner integrated a systematic, technical short-term
trading strategy into the Funds primary trend-following methodology. This short-term strategy
seeks trading opportunities arising out of short term changes in futures and forward market prices,
with trades lasting from less than a day to more than a week, and has exhibited low correlation to
the trend-following methodology historically utilized by the Fund.
Although the Fund is designed to maintain a long position in gold in a U.S. dollar amount
approximately equal to its total capital adjusted on a monthly basis, the fund is not a gold
fund. Rather, it is an investment product that combines a gold investment with a systematic,
primarily trend-following, futures and forward trading program. The gold investment is intended to
de-link each Series net asset value, which is denominated in U.S. dollars, from the value of the
U.S. dollar relative to gold, essentially denominating the Series net asset value in terms of
gold.
In analyzing the performance and operations of the Fund, one must bear in mind that, in
general, there is no direct connection between particular market conditions and price trends. There
are so many influences on the markets that the same general type of economic event may lead to a
price trend in some cases but not in others. Further, even if significant price trends do occur, if
these trends are not comprised of the type of price movements which the General Partners futures
and forward trading program is designed to identify, the General Partner may not position the Fund
to profit from or avoid losses due to the trend. As with all speculative trading ventures, the past
performance of the Fund is not necessarily indicative of its future results.
Liquidity
Most United States commodity exchanges limit fluctuations in futures contracts prices during a
single day by regulations referred to as daily price fluctuation limits or daily limits. During
a single trading day, no trades may be executed at prices beyond the daily limit. This may affect
the Funds ability to initiate new positions or close existing ones or may prevent it from having
orders executed. Futures prices have occasionally moved the daily limit for several consecutive
days with little or no trading. Similar occurrences could prevent the Fund from promptly
liquidating unfavorable positions and subject the Fund to substantial losses, which could exceed
the margin initially committed to such trades. In addition, even if futures prices have not moved
the daily limit, the Fund may not be able to execute futures trades at favorable prices if little
trading in such contracts is taking place.
Trading in forward contracts introduces a possible further impact on liquidity. Because such
contracts are executed off exchange between private parties, the time required to offset or
unwind these positions may be greater than that for exchange-traded instruments.
30
Other than these limitations on liquidity, which are inherent in the Funds futures and
forward trading operations, the Funds assets are expected to be highly liquid, and the Fund has
experienced no meaningful periods of illiquidity during the year ended December 31, 2010 and during
the nine months from the commencement of the Funds operations through December 31, 2009.
Capital Resources
The Fund 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 borrowings. Due to the nature
of the Funds business, it will make no capital expenditures and will have no capital assets which
are not operating capital or assets.
The amount of capital raised for the Fund should not have a significant impact on its
operations, as the Fund has no significant capital expenditure or working capital requirements
other than for monies to pay trading losses, brokerage commissions and charges. Within broad ranges
of capitalization, the Funds trading positions should increase or decrease in approximate
proportion to the size of the Fund.
Results of Operations
The performance summary set forth below is an outline description of how the Fund performed in
the past trading in a wide variety of markets. The Funds futures and forward contract prices are
marked-to-market every trading day, and the Funds trading accounts are credited or debited with
its daily gains or losses. Accordingly, there is no material economic distinction between realized
gains or losses on closed positions and unrealized gains or losses on open positions. The Funds
past performance is not necessarily indicative of how it will perform in the future.

Fund results for 4th Quarter 2010:
In December, the Fund experienced gains in the stock indices sector as government measures in
the U.S. and Europe continued to provide a strong foundation for share appreciation. Asian stock
indices also appreciated with the exception of China, which declined as the central bank raised
rates again in its ongoing effort to control inflation. A mixture of long and short positions in
the stock indices sector led the Fund to an overall gain on the month. Currency trends also
accelerated into year end with Brazil, Chile, Australia and Canada continuing to attract
31
flows due to commodity market strength. The U.S. dollar index finished the month 1.3% higher.
A mixture of long and short positions in the currency sector led the Fund to an overall gain on the
month. The Fund also experienced gains in the energy sector as inventories declined and the U.S.
dollar struggled into year end. The Funds mixture of long and short positions in the energy sector
led to an overall gain on the month. The Fund experienced gains in metals as gold, silver and
copper closed the year at their highs, buoyed by excellent investor and industrial demand. Grain
and agricultural markets also appreciated amid strong demand. The Funds long grain sector
positions led to an overall gain on the month. February gold contracts continued an impressive 2010
run, finishing the month 2.5% higher. The month opened with a move to record highs on news that
2010 Chinese imports rose 500% versus 2009. Investor demand soared in the nation as the populace
sought protection from inflation in property and equity markets. As a result, the Funds long gold
position produced an overall gain on the month.
In November, results in equity indices, while mixed overall, led to modest gains. Positions in
Europe were profitable as contagion risks for peripheral members of the European Union (EU) rose.
Spains IBEX, Italys MIB40 and Greeces ASE20 finished the month down 13.8%, 10.8% and 11.7%,
respectively, while Japans Nikkei finished the month 8.2% higher. A mixture of long and short
stock indices positions led the Fund to an overall gain on the month. The Funds allocation to
global bond markets finished with gains for the month as long term debt futures finished steadily
lower. The size of the debt problem in weaker EU nations and the need for collectivization of that
debt forced bund and gilt yields higher. U.S. treasuries moved sharply lower as the size of the
U.S. Federal Reserves second round of quantitative easing (QE2) program came in well above
expectations. A mixture of long and short bond positions led the Fund to an overall gain on the
month. In the U.S., 3-month Eurodollars moved steadily lower over the month as longer term
inflation prospects rose with the announcement of QE2 by the Federal Reserve and strong
macroeconomic reports. In Europe, long positions in 3-month Euribor futures finished higher as
prospects for low rates increased as the need to establish competitive growth rates became critical
amid the serious funding shortfalls. A mixture of long and short interest rate positions led the
Fund to an overall loss on the month. The Fund incurred losses in the currency markets in November
as European sovereign risk returned to the forefront, reversing trends in various currency pairs.
The euro reversed dramatically, finishing the month down 6.3% against the U.S. dollar, as Irelands
heavily levered banking sector sought assistance from the EU and International Monetary Fund.
Investors moved back into the U.S. dollar, which finished the month 4.9% higher, as currencies in
Denmark, Hungary and Sweden finished 6.3%, 10.4% and 4.5% lower, respectively. A mixture of long
and short currencies positions led the Fund to an overall loss on the month. The Fund experienced
losses in grain markets in November as tightening monetary conditions in China and a stronger U.S.
dollar led to depreciation in the grain markets. March corn finished 8.5% lower after breaching the
$6 mark early in the month. March wheat contracts finished with a loss of 8.8%, off over 20% from
contract highs made in August. The Funds long positions in the grains sector led to an overall
loss on the month. February gold contracts finished only 1.9% higher in November after establishing
new record highs above the $1,425 level early in the month. Further gains were tempered by an
exceptionally strong dollar and declining risk appetite due to geopolitical unrest in the Koreas
and financial distress in Europe. As a result, the Funds long gold position produced an overall
gain on the month.
In October, the stock indices sector continued to perform well as stock indices in all regions
advanced. In the U.S., the Nasdaq finished 6.3% higher, as technology shares led the benchmark
higher as a result of positive earnings. In Asia, Chinas H-shares finished 6.0% higher as
investors continued to favor Chinese growth prospects. In Europe, the German DAX finished 6.2%
higher as factory orders and industrial production figures exceeded expectations. The Funds
mixture of long and short positions led the stock indices sector to an overall gain on the month.
The Fund experienced gains in its currency allocations as the U.S. dollar continued its steady
decline, finishing the month 1.9% lower against the U.S. dollar, while the U.S. Federal Reserve
signaled to the world its commitment to providing additional stimulus as needed to support growth.
The Fund obtained gains in the yen, which finished the month 3.6% higher against the U.S. dollar,
as the Japanese approved quantitative easing and their positive current account combined with low
yields in the U.S. attracted domestic and foreign capital. A mixture of long and short positions in
the currencies sector led the Fund to an overall gain on the month. December silver contract
positions also posted gains, finishing the month 12.6% higher, as silver approached a 30-year high
on belief that it provides both diversification from the U.S. dollar and exposure to economic
growth in its role as an industrial metal. Base metals also performed well with London copper and
zinc advancing 2.2% and 10.5% higher, respectively. The Funds long positions in metals produced an
overall gain on the month. Gold futures experienced gains in October, establishing a record high
above $1,380 per ounce before retracing lower on signs of U.S. dollar stabilization. The Fund
benefitted as the U.S. Federal Reserve signaled once again that QE2 was imminent. This news,
combined with a general lack of confidence in Western economies abilities to deal with their
fiscal situations,
32
continued to provide a significant price floor and resulted in widespread investor confidence
in the metal. December gold futures finished with a gain of 3.7% on the month, and the Funds long
gold position benefitted as a result.
For the fourth quarter of 2010, the most profitable market group overall was the stock indices
sector, while the greatest losses were attributable to positions in the interest rates sector.
Fund results for 3rd Quarter 2010:
In September, the Funds allocation to stock indices led to gains as equities moved sharply
higher. Indices in the U.S. experienced gains as the combined effects of excellent technology
earnings and elevated merger and acquisition activity led the Nasdaq index 13.1% higher. Although
short positions in European indices experienced losses as the Dow Jones Eurostoxx, Frances CAC40
and Spains IBEX finished 5.0%, 6.4% and 2.5% higher, respectively, long positions in Koreas Kospi
index, which finished 7.4% higher, performed well amid upward revisions in the countrys current
account surplus. A mixture of long and short positions led the Fund to an overall gain in the stock
indices sector. The long-term upward trend in Canadian 3-month bank acceptance and Australian
90-day bank bill futures reversed, resulting in losses for the Funds short interest rates
allocation. The selloff in Canada of 3-month bank notes was attributed to the Bank of Canada
raising interest rates by 25 basis points for the third time since June, along with a better than
expected rebound in Canadian employment and household spending. Australian short-term interest
rates sold off dramatically in response to employers adding more jobs than forecasted. In the U.S.,
3-month Eurodollar futures bucked the global trend, trading higher as better than expected economic
data was overshadowed by statements that the U.S. Federal Reserve was prepared to implement QE2.
Long positions in short-term interest rate products led the Fund to an overall loss on the month.
Negative U.S. dollar statements by the U.S. Federal Reserve served as a catalyst for extreme
currency market moves worldwide. The Australian dollar led the way, finishing 9.0% higher against
the U.S. dollar. The Swiss franc finished 3.5% higher against the U.S. dollar as investors
perceived a safe haven play with the Japanese yen and U.S. dollar in tumult. Emerging market
currencies also performed well as the South African rand, Brazilian real and Korean won finished
6.0%, 3.7% and 4.8% higher against the U.S. dollar, respectively. The Funds long positions in
currency markets led to an overall gain on the month. The Fund achieved gains from its allocation
to the metals markets in September as investors sought safety from the devaluation of fiat
currencies and exposure to alternative assets. As the U.S. dollar fell to a seven-month low, silver
gained 12.2% on the month, breeching a 30-year high. Long positions in base metals performed well
as positive early month manufacturing readings in the U.S. and China sent copper futures higher.
London copper added 8.5% amid falling inventories while aluminum and nickel posted gains of 14.7%
and 12.4%, respectively. Long positions in the metals sector led the Fund to an overall gain on the
month. December gold futures experienced gains in September, finishing up 4.7% on the month and
establishing a new all-time high above $1,300 per ounce. As a result, the Funds long gold position
produced an overall gain on the month.
In August, the Funds allocations to stock indices resulted in losses as heightening
uncertainty continued to drive market volatility. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (the Dow)
finished the month down 3.9% as a poor labor market, deteriorating durable goods sales and acute
housing market declines reduced investor confidence. The Fund also experienced losses in Europe as
markets turned lower with the French CAC 40, the Spanish IBEX 35 and the Italian MIB 40 finishing
4.2%, 2.7% and 6.3% lower, respectively. A mixture of long and short positions in the stock indices
sector led the Fund to an overall loss on the month. The strong upward trend in U.S. Treasury bond
futures persisted with the front-month contract trading to an 18-month high while front-month
10-year Japanese government bond futures traded up to their highest level since 2003 as Japans
gross domestic product (GDP) growth missed expectations by rising at an annualized rate of only
0.4%. A mixture of long and short bond futures positions led the Fund to an overall gain on the
month. The Funds net long allocation to short-term interest rate futures yielded positive returns
in August due to the prevailing fear that global growth was languishing. The long-term upward trend
in 3-month Eurodollar futures extended higher after the U.S. Federal Reserve reversed plans to exit
from monetary stimulus and decided to keep its bond holdings level with the possibility of resuming
purchases. Long positions in the interest rate sector led the Fund to an overall gain on the month.
The Fund experienced gains from its allocation to currency markets as positions in the Japanese yen
and the Swiss franc performed well amid a growing sense of uncertainty surrounding the global
economic recovery. Japans currency rallied to a 15-year high against the U.S. dollar while the
Swiss franc ended the month 2.2% higher. Alternatively, the Funds long positions in the Canadian
dollar and Mexican peso resulted in losses as the Canadian dollar and Mexican peso ended the month
3.5% and 4.1% lower, respectively, against the U.S. dollar as investors curbed exposure to these
major U.S. trade partners currencies amid flagging U.S. data. A mixture of long and short
positions in the currency sector
33
led the Fund to an overall gain on the month. The Fund achieved positive results in the metals
sector as strong gains on long positions in gold outweighed negative performance in base metals.
December gold contracts finished 5.5% higher as investment demand surged, more than doubling in the
second quarter. Meanwhile, results suffered in the base metals as these markets succumbed to the
same inputs that supported gold. In China, aluminum production was shuttered by another 330,000
tons while manufacturing grew at the slowest pace in 17 months, sparking fears of a double dip
recession. These factors led to the possibility of weakening demand, subsequently putting downside
pressure on London aluminum and nickel, which ended the month down 5.3% and 1.5%, respectively. A
mixture of long and short metals positions led the Fund to an overall gain on the month. The Fund
also saw strong results in global energy markets as these products established trends for most of
August. Demand prospects for natural gas declined as Julys new and existing home sales data
unexpectedly fell while initial jobless claims rose. Milder weather and the reduced threat of
Atlantic hurricanes moving into the Gulf of Mexico pushed stockpiles to near-record highs. The
Funds short positions in natural gas produced substantial gains as front-month futures traded well
below the 50/100/200 day moving averages, finishing with a loss of 22.4% on the month. Rising U.S.
jobless claims, contracting manufacturing and a widening trade deficit sent October crude down 9.3%
on the month. A mixture of long and short positions in the energy sector led the Fund to an overall
gain for the month. Gold futures experienced gains in August as investors became more and more
convinced that neither the U.S. dollar nor the euro offered a safe alternative for their assets.
December gold futures recouped all of Julys losses, finishing the month 5.5% higher as investors
grew increasingly concerned with macroeconomic data in the U.S. and Europe. The Funds long gold
position produced an overall gain on the month.
In July, stock indices rallied impressively despite macroeconomic data that continued to point
to various challenges moving forward. Strong corporate earnings reports, increased certainty
following the passage of the Reform Act and a settlement between the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) and Goldman Sachs combined to produce sharply higher equity prices. The S&P 500
rallied to finish the month 7.0% higher, stopping out the Funds short positions early in the
month. Asian stock indices also moved higher, fueled by growing optimism in China. The Hang Seng
index responded with steady returns, finishing the month 4.4% higher, while Australias SPI 200
gained 4.7% on the month. In Europe, the UKs FTSE 100 and the Amsterdam EOE Index recovered most
of the prior months losses, ending the month 7.2% and 4.4% higher, respectively, due in part to
positive European bank stress tests results. A mixture of long and short positions in the stock
indices sector led the Fund to an overall loss on the month. The U.S. dollar index declined 5.4% on
the month amid falling U.S. household sentiment, poor private sector job growth and expectations of
rate increase diminishing. Accordingly, investors rotated assets into alternative safe haven
currencies such as the Japanese yen and the Swiss franc, which ended the month 2.4% and 3.5% higher
against the U.S. dollar, respectively. The Australian dollar finished the month 7.4% higher against
the U.S. dollar as prospects for higher interest rates increased amid strong consumer prices and
surging metals markets. Asian regional currencies also fared well as the Singapore dollar and New
Zealand dollar finished the month 2.6% and 6.0% higher against the U.S. dollar, respectively,
benefitting from a return of risk appetite and increasing comfort with Chinese growth prospects
following a sharp reversal higher in Chinese equities. The Funds long positions in the currency
sector led to an overall gain on the month. The energy sector languished as mixed fundamental data
produced choppy range-bound markets in both crude oil and natural gas. Large natural gas reserves
caused prices to fall throughout the month even as above-average temperatures across the U.S.
bolstered cooling demand. Similarly, short positions in crude oil suffered as positive U.S. retail
sales figures and the IMF boosting its growth forecast sent values higher. A decrease in jobless
claims combined with improving confidence in Europes economic recovery to spur initiation of long
positions by month-end as September crude oil futures finished 3.7% higher on the month. A mixture
of long and short positions in the energy sector led the Fund to an overall loss on the month.
After establishing all-time highs in June, gold futures responded with steadily lower action
throughout July, finishing with a loss of 5.1% on the month. Perceived structural stability in
Europe following the positive results of the banking sector stress tests eliminated a key source of
gold sponsorship. Furthermore, excellent corporate earnings also contributed to losses as investors
became more comfortable investing in depressed equity markets than on gold at historic highs. The
Funds long gold position produced an overall loss on the month.
For the third quarter of 2010, the most profitable market group overall was the metals sector,
while the greatest losses were attributable to positions in the energy sector.
34
Fund results for 2nd Quarter 2010:
In June, the Funds allocations to stock indices underperformed as volatile action resulted in
losses. Extremely poor housing and retail sales figures spurred profit-taking, leaving front-month
Dow futures down 3.5% on the month. A mixture of long and short positions led the Fund to an
overall loss in the stock indices sector for the month. Stronger results were obtained in the
global bond markets as weaker than expected fundamental and inflation data complemented
intensifying euro area sovereign debt risk, thus prompting widespread buying of bonds. September
30-year U.S. Treasury bonds surged after U.S. employment increased less than previously forecast
with private payrolls accounting for only 10.0% of the jobs added. A mixture of long and short
positions led the Fund to an overall gain in the bond sector for the month. Allocations to the
energy sector underperformed amid significant losses in natural gas futures following an 18.0%
rally through mid-month. Mild weather moved in toward the end of the month, sending values sharply
lower and leaving the August contract with only a modest gain of 4.7%. A mixture of long and short
positions led the Fund to an overall loss in the energy sector for the month. The Funds gold hedge
experienced gains as gold futures posted new all-time highs as unease surrounding the
sustainability of the global recovery continued to mount. In euro terms, gold traded near the
1,050/oz. level due to early month news of a possible Hungarian default and ongoing civil strife
in Europe. Meanwhile in the U.S., poor retail sales, weak consumer confidence, and falling housing
figures supported August gold to a gain of 2.5%. Growing concern surrounding Chinese growth also
cast a pall over risk assets, providing support to gold into month-end.
In May, the Funds allocation to stock indices lost ground as weakness in the global financial
system from April carried over into the month. Germanys DAX, Englands FTSE and the Dow finished
the month down 2.1%, 5.2% and 7.6%, respectively. A mixture of long and short positions led the
Fund to an overall loss in the stock indices sector on the month. The Funds long positions in the
global bond futures markets provided positive returns as the sovereign debt crisis in the euro area
intensified, prompting the purchase of safe-haven government securities. Front-month U.S. 30-year
Treasury bonds posted 18-month highs on speculation that the debt contagion could hamper the
fragile global economic rebound. The Funds long positions in the bond sector led to an overall
gain on the month. Fallout from a lack of European consensus in dealing with the sovereign debt
crisis triggered soaring borrowing costs that closely resembled the levels of mistrust seen
following the 2008 collapse of Lehman Brothers. The euro and Swiss franc fell 7.3% and 6.8% against
the U.S. dollar, respectively, while the regional currencies of Hungary, Poland and Denmark also
declined 11.0%, 12.7% and 7.8% against the U.S. dollar, respectively. The Fund experienced an
overall loss on the month from its mixture of long and short currency sector positions. July crude
oil traded as low as $67.24 per barrel on May 25th before a late-month rally based on strong
consumer confidence and durable goods orders led to a close of $73.98, which still represented a
16.2% loss for the month. Gasoline and heating oil followed crude oil lower as front-month
contracts finished the month down 15.4% and 14.1%, respectively. A mixture of long and short
positions led the Fund to a relatively large loss in the energies sector for the month. August gold
futures endured volatile price action during the month of May and finished 2.7% higher in U.S.
dollar terms, while adding 11.2% in euro terms. Futures rallied to a new record high by mid-month
amid concerns that the European debt crisis could worsen to the point that the euro would no longer
be considered a fiat currency. The Funds gold hedge experienced an overall gain on the month.
In April, equity markets around the globe finished with mixed results. Stocks came under acute
pressure in Europe as concerns continued over the financial condition of several European Union
members. Japans Nikkei and Australias SPI finished with modest losses, down 0.4% and 1.2%,
respectively, while gains were seen in Taiwan and Singapore, finishing 1.1% and 3.1% higher,
respectively, as those economies benefited from rebounding export demand. In the U.S., the Nasdaq
and the Dow finished the month 2.1% and 1.5% higher, respectively. A mixture of long and short
positions led the Fund to an overall gain on the month in the stock indices sector. Early month
news that the U.S. economy added 162,000 jobs combined with excellent growth in the U.S. services
industry propelled crude oil futures to their highest levels since the fall of 2008. Later in the
month, excellent U.S. corporate earnings, rising consumer confidence, and the loss of a production
platform in the Gulf of Mexico propelled July crude to a 4.3% gain. June gasoline futures finished
4.1% higher as a late month inventory report showed supplies had fallen more than expected. A
mixture of long and short positions led the Fund to an overall gain in the energies sector on the
month. The Fund experienced strong gains on its June gold futures, as the metal finished the month
5.8% higher. The Funds long positions in the metals sector resulted in gains for the month.
For the second quarter of 2010, the most profitable market group overall was the bonds sector,
while the greatest losses were attributable to positions in the energy sector.
35
Fund results for 1st Quarter 2010:
In March, the Fund saw excellent results in the equities sector as global stock markets
throughout the world surged. Rising business confidence in Germany propelled the DAX to a gain of
9.7%, while Italys MIB40, Spains IBEX and Polands WIG20 finished up 8.5%, 4.8% and 12.6%,
respectively. In Asia, Japans Nikkei finished up 10.3%, and in the U.S., the S&P 500 and the Dow
finished up 6.0% and 5.3%, respectively. A mixture of long and short positions in the stock indices
sector led to a gain for the Fund for the month. The Fund continued to experience significant gains
from its energy positions as global economic strength propelled crude oil demand expectations
higher while warm weather and inflated inventories extended the downtrend in natural gas prices.
Front-month crude oil futures finished up 4.7% on the month. The U.S. increased the number of
natural gas rigs to 941, up 16.0% from a year earlier. These factors, combined with a mild weather
forecast, sent front-month natural gas down, finishing 19.6% lower on the month. A mixture of long
and short positions in the energy sector led to a gain for the Fund for the month. The Fund also
experienced solid results in its long metals positions as base metals surged despite the stronger
U.S. dollar. London copper finished 8.4% higher as exchange inventories fell for most of the month.
London nickel rose to its highest level since June 2008, finishing 17.9% higher. The Funds long
positions in the metals sector resulted in an overall gain for the month. Front-month gold futures
experienced sideways price action during the month of March and closed with a slight decline in
U.S. dollar terms. In relation to the euro, the rally in gold futures continued and reached another
record high as the worries regarding the European sovereign debt crisis widened.
In February, world bond markets experienced volatile action as sovereign debt contagion
worries spread while economic data showed promising signs. The Funds net short position in U.S.
30-year Treasury bonds resulted in small losses as futures rallied near month-end despite better
than expected economic reports. In Europe, March bonds surged at month-end to finish moderately
higher, producing overall gains for the Funds long positions. Overall, a mixture of long and short
positions in the bonds sector produced a gain for the Fund for the month. Global short-term
interest rate futures traded higher in February, continuing a strong-upward trend and providing the
Fund with positive returns. In the U.S., three-month Eurodollar futures rallied to new highs after
the U.S. Federal Reserve unexpectedly raised the discount rate but reaffirmed that the federal
funds rate will remain at exceptionally low levels for an extended period. The Funds long
positions in the interest rates sector resulted in a gain for the month. Fundamentals in the grain
sector improved enough to offset the U.S. dollar rally. May soybeans, wheat and corn finished the
month 3.9%, 6.3% and 5.7% higher, respectively. A mixture of long and short positions in the grains
sector led to a loss for the Fund on the month. The Fund experienced positive returns in global
energy markets in February as macroeconomic data continued to show strength. Crude oil finished
8.5% higher and natural gas finished 6.1% lower. A mixture of long and short positions in the
energy sector led to an overall loss for the Fund on the month. New York and London front-month
sugar futures reversed sharply, finishing the month 19.2% and 9.8% lower, respectively, while May
New York cocoa contracts lost 10.2% on the month. Chinese cotton production was estimated to have
fallen 15.0% from the prior year, propelling May cotton to a gain of 16.7% on the month. A mixture
of long and short positions in the agricultural sector led to a loss for the Fund on the month. In
the month of February, front-month gold futures rallied and finished the month with a gain of 3.3%.
Buying was attributed to investors exiting the euro due to the intensifying Greek sovereign debt
crisis and seeking the safety of gold as an alternative currency. Gold futures proceeded to trade
to a record-high in euro currency terms near month-end.
In January, global equities continued to trend higher but reversed sharply by months end. In
the U.S., the Dow and Nasdaq Composite Index finished 3.5% and 6.8% lower, respectively. European
equities also experienced significant declines, with Germanys DAX, the United Kingdoms FTSE and
Frances CAC40 finishing 6.7%, 4.2% and 5.1% lower, respectively. Asian stocks fell as China began
to take steps to slow growth and curb lending in response to an overheating economy. The Hang Seng
and Japans Nikkei finished 7.8% and 3.6% lower, respectively. A mixture of long and short
positions in the stock indices sector produced an overall loss for the Fund on the month. Global
short-term interest futures rebounded in January with numerous products trading to new contract
highs. Eurodollar futures rallied as weaker than expected fundamental data in the U.S. prompted the
selling of equities and the buying of safer short-term assets. A mixture of long and short
positions in the interest rates sector resulted in a gain for the Fund for the month. The U.S.
dollar index extended its December gains in January, finishing the month 1.7% higher as risk
capital flowed into the U.S. dollar following Chinas strong signals that it would act to contain
its rapid growth. Entrenched trends in emerging market currencies continued to unwind with the
Brazilian real and Chilean peso finishing the month down 8.7% and 3.3%, respectively. The Funds
short positions in the U.S. dollar led the currencies sector to a loss on the month. Front-month
crude oil futures rose to
36
their highest level since the fall of 2008 in early January until a U.S. dollar reversal and
growing global economic fears led to an 8.4% decline on the month. March natural gas finished 7.0%
lower as the return of mild temperatures stabilized inventories near the 5-year average after the
steep drawdown following Decembers cold snap. A mixture of long and short energy positions led the
Fund to an overall loss on the month in the sector. London zinc declined 17.0%, while lead and
copper lost 17.1% and 9.0%, respectively on the month, as the Chinese central bank raised reserve
requirements and ordered some banks to cease lending altogether. February gold sold off late to
finish 1.2% lower. The Funds long positions in the metals sector led to an overall loss for the
month. Front-month gold futures ended the month of January down 1.3% as the U.S. dollar appreciated
amid widespread deleveraging, which decreased the buying of gold as an alternative investment. The
combination of the Chinese moving to limit excessive growth in their economy and the U.S.
governments planned initiative to ban proprietary trading by U.S. banks contributed to the
decline.
For the first quarter of 2010, the most profitable market group overall was the energy sector,
while the greatest losses were attributable to positions in the currency sector.

Fund results for 4th Quarter 2009:
In December, equities ended the year on a rally that began in March. Economic data improved as
stimulus measures took hold in the second half of the year. A mixture of long and short positions
in the stock indices sector produced an overall gain for the Fund for the month. U.S. bonds sold
off at the end of the year as the economic recovery gained momentum on improving unemployment,
retail sales and housing figures. European bonds also rallied from their June lows as the global
recovery spread. A mixture of long and short positions in the bond sector led to a loss for the
Fund for the month. Front-month Eurodollar futures retreated from record highs as better than
expected employment data and rising inflation readings in the U.S. increased speculation that
monetary policy may tighten sooner than anticipated. The Funds long positions in the interest rate
sector led to an overall loss for the month. Front month U.S. dollar index futures finished 2009
with a 3.9% rally in December, while the euro lost 4.4%. The Funds short positions in the U.S.
dollar resulted in a relatively large loss for the month. Front-month gold futures posted a 7.2%
loss in December. The Funds long position in the metals sector resulted in an overall loss for the
month. Front-month natural gas futures finished up more than 12.0% in December to finish the year
near unchanged. A mixture of long and short positions in the energy markets produced a loss for the
Fund for the month.
In November, world bond markets rallied as a significant downward revision in U.S. GDP and the
reemergence of global deflation supported buying. European bonds traded higher after Euro-zone
producer prices
37
declined on an annual basis for the ninth straight month as consumer prices fell for a fifth
consecutive month. The Funds long positions in the bond sector produced an overall gain. Global
short-term interest rate futures experienced a substantial rally in November after central banks
signaled that historically low rates would extend well into the future. The Funds long positions
in the interest rate sector led to an overall gain for the month. The U.S. dollar index posted
another new low for the year in November, losing 1.9% as investors and central bankers alike
continued to seek diversity from the U.S. dollar. Commodity-intensive currencies maintained their
strong trends with the Australian and Canadian dollar and the Chilean peso moving 1.8%, 2.2% and
6.3% higher, respectively. The Funds short positions in the U.S. dollar led to an overall gain for
the currencies sector for the month. January crude oil futures spent most of the first half of the
month trading near or above the $80 level, finding support from a weak U.S. dollar. January natural
gas moved lower most of the month, finishing with a loss of 10.1%. The Funds short positions in
the energy sector led to an overall gain for the month. Gold opened the month sharply higher on
news that the International Monetary Fund sold the equivalent of 8.0% of world annual mine
production to the government of India in October. As a result, February gold rallied, finishing
13.5% higher. January silver and platinum joined the rally finishing 14.1% and 9.8% higher,
respectively. A mixture of long and short positions in the metals sector led the Fund to an overall
gain for the month.
In October, world equities continued to move higher early in the month before running out of
steam late. Japans Nikkei 225 continued to lag, finishing the month down 0.9%, as an improving
unemployment picture was unable to offset tepid growth. European equities markets, including those
in Germany, France and the United Kingdom, sold off, finishing down 5.2%, 4.8% and 2.1%,
respectively. A mixture of long and short positions in the stock indices sector produced an overall
loss for the Fund for the month. World bond markets retracted from recent highs, finishing October
significantly lower as early data conveyed a sense of sustainability to the overall recovery. A
mixture of long and short positions in the bond sector led to an overall loss for the Fund for the
month. U.S. dollar index futures established 14-month lows in October as investors throughout the
world called into question the reserve status of the U.S. currency. The British pound recovered
most of Septembers months losses, finishing 2.7% higher, amid talk that the Bank of England might
pause quantitative easing if economic growth continued to improve. The Brazilian real added another
0.3%. The Funds long positions in the U.S. dollar produced an overall loss in the currencies
sector. December corn and November soybean futures finished 6.4% and 5.5% higher, respectively,
finding support as unseasonably cool and wet weather in the U.S. complicated late development and
harvest of the crop. A mixture of long and short positions in the grains sector produced an overall
loss for the Fund for the month. December gold futures rose sharply in early October, posting
all-time highs above $1,070 per ounce as concerns mounted over the stability of the U.S. dollar as
the worlds reserve currency. The Funds gold position produced an overall gain for the month.
Silver and copper finished the month 7.0% and 4.8% higher, respectively. A mixture of long and
short positions led the metals sector to an overall loss for the Fund on the month. Sugar futures
fell 10.1% as signs emerged that physical buyers were slowing purchases following the establishment
of 28-year highs in September. December hogs rose sharply, finishing 15.0% higher, amid an improved
export outlook after restrictions were lifted for U.S. pork exports to Russia and China. December
cotton futures added 7.8%, posting new one-year highs as crop conditions worsened in the U.S.
cotton harvest stood at only 19.0% complete as the Mississippi Delta region (99% of production)
continued to be pounded by rain. December NY cocoa finished 5.1% higher on the month. A mixture of
long and short positions in the agricultural sector led to an overall loss for the Fund on the
month.
For the fourth quarter of 2009, the most profitable market group overall was the metals
sector, while the greatest losses were attributable to positions in the currency sector.
Fund results for 3rd Quarter 2009:
In September, world bond markets finished higher after better than expected economic data was
discounted as several global central banks weighed the withdrawal of economic stimulus packages.
These conditions led the Funds long positions in the bond sector to an overall gain. Global
short-term interest rate futures continued their strong upward trend as inflation fears weakened
and sustainability of the economic recovery came into question. Three month eurodollar futures
extended their upside move after the Federal Open Market Committee kept rates at record lows in an
effort to combat a 26-year high in unemployment. The Funds long positions produced gains in the
interest rates sector. The U.S. dollar established new lows for the year in September, falling 2.0%
as investors around the world aggressively borrowed the low yielding currency to finance purchases
of assets in countries offering higher yields. Emerging South American currencies continued to
shine due to their relatively high yields.
38
The Colombian peso and Brazilian real finished 6.8% and 6.0% higher, respectively, against the
U.S. dollar. The Funds short positions in the U.S. dollar led to gains in the currencies sector.
November crude oil contracts finished near unchanged as existing homes sales and consumer
confidence came in well below expectations. Crude inventories continued to expand as demand
remained weak. The Funds short energy positions produced losses on the month. December gold
futures finished 5.9% higher, closing above the significant $1,000 mark. December silver futures
also attracted investment demand, finishing 11.6% higher on the month. The Funds long metals
positions produced an overall gain.
In August, world bond markets moved steadily higher as perceptions surrounding economic data
shifted. U.S. Treasury bonds attracted steady buying in the latter half of the month as retail
sales missed forecasts and producer prices fell more than expected. These developments led the
Funds long positions in the interest rate sector to an overall gain. The U.S. dollar remained near
its lows for the year as risk appetite remained elevated, while the British pound and Canadian
dollar finished down 2.5% and 1.1%, respectively, against the U.S. dollar. The Funds short
positions in U.S. dollar led to an overall gain. Crude oil finished down 1.7%, while natural gas
lost 23.3%. The Funds short positions in the energy sector lead to an overall gain. October gold
continued to trade sideways between $900-$1,000, while London copper, nickel and lead finished
12.6%, 6.7% and 12.2% higher, respectively. The Funds short positions in the metals sector led to
an overall loss. Hog futures continued their steady drive lower, finishing down 10.5%. Sugar and
coffee finished 30.1% and 7.6% higher, respectively. The Funds mix of long and short positions in
the agriculture sector resulted in an overall gain.
In July, global stock markets continued to advance as many markets rose to new multi-month
highs. Chinas Shenzen 300 finished 15.0% higher, while Germanys DAX, Londons FTSE and Frances
CAC40 established new highs, rising between 8.0% and 11.0%. Short positions in the stock indices
sector produced relatively large losses for the month. The Canadian dollar surged, finishing 7.0%
higher against the U.S. dollar, and the Norwegian krona, Brazilian real and Australian dollar
finished 5.0%, 4.4% and 3.6% higher, respectively, against the U.S. dollar. These conditions led
the Funds long positions in the U.S. dollar to an overall loss. Gold gained slightly in July as
investors continued to search for conviction on short-term price action. U.S. dollar weakness
combined with an inflationary Producer Price Index report caused December gold futures to
experience a 2.8% gain. Industrial metals continued to trend higher with London copper leading the
way, finishing 15.2% higher. The Funds short positions in metals led to an overall loss.
For the third quarter of 2009, the most profitable market sector for the Fund on an overall
basis was the interest rates sector, while the greatest losses resulted from the Funds positions
in the stock indices sector.
Fund results for 2nd Quarter 2009:
In June, U.S. stock indices finished near unchanged, while most Asian stock indices finished
higher; Hong Kongs Chinese Enterprise Index rose 6.1%. The Funds short positions in the stock
indices sector experienced a loss. World bond markets reversed early month lows by month-end,
finishing higher as improving bond yields and a stagnating equity rally attracted buyers. The
Funds long positions in the bonds sector led to a gain. U.S. and European short-term interest rate
futures finished slightly higher in June, recovering from a substantial early month selloff. The
Funds long positions during the earlier part of the month resulted in losses. The Australian
dollar finished the month 1.2% higher, while the British pound finished 2.0% higher. The Funds
long positions in the U.S. dollar led to a loss. December wheat contracts plunged, losing 17.5% as
the global recession continued to destroy demand. The Funds short positions in the grains sector
produced gains. London copper added 3.7%, while lead also rose 8.9% as Chinese auto sales soared.
London nickel finished up 10.0% as Chinese imports for the first 4 months of 2009 exceeded 2008
levels by 16.0%. The Funds short positions in the metals sector resulted in losses. U.S. August
crude oil futures added 4.1% despite rising inventories as Chinese buying supported values. The
Funds short positions in the energy sector produced losses. August gold futures finished the month
5.4% lower based on positive sentiment associated with better than expected U.S. employment figures
and positive retail sales. The Funds long gold position led to a loss. Other market sectors,
relative to the sectors mentioned above, did not reveal significant trends and did not have a
substantial influence on this months overall negative performance.
In May, world bond markets traded dramatically lower as burgeoning budget deficits led to
heavy bond issuance, foreshadowing long-term inflation. U.S. 30-year bond futures, German Bund
futures and Japanese 10-year bond futures traded to their lowest levels since November 2008. The
Funds long positions in the bonds sector
39
resulted in losses. Emerging market strength contributed to a steep selloff in U.S.
treasuries, resulting in a 6.2% loss for the U.S. dollar index. The Brazilian real and the
Australian dollar were up 10.0% and 13.2%, respectively, against the U.S. dollar. The Funds long
positions in the U.S. dollar produced losses. Despite crude demand falling more than 7.5% from last
year, inventories declined, leading to a 24.8% gain for July crude futures. The Funds short
positions in this sector incurred relatively large losses. August gold futures rallied steadily
throughout the month of May, finishing 9.6% higher at $980. The Funds long gold position produced
substantial gains. Other market sectors did not reveal significant trends and did not have a
significant influence on this months overall negative performance.
In April, the S&P 500 Index rose 9.4% led by bank stocks as strong earnings from favorable
spreads created by cheap central bank liquidity supported values. The Funds short stock indices
positions led to a relatively large loss. World bond markets tracked steadily lower in April as
money flowed out of low yielding treasuries and into equities. The Funds long positions in the
bonds sector produced an overall loss. The U.S. dollar index finished down 1.2% while the euro
moved sideways as capital moved out of the U.S. and European Union amid unattractive treasury
yields. The Hungarian forint, Polish zloty and Czech koruna gained 6.0%, 4.6% and 2.1%,
respectively, against the U.S. dollar while the Australian dollar, Canadian dollar and Brazilian
real finished up 5.0%, 5.5% and 5.7%, respectively, against the U.S. dollar. The Funds long
positions in the U.S. dollar lead to an overall loss for the currency sector. Positive economic
signals from the G20 meeting and the resulting rise in world equity markets were offset by rising
inventories as global energy demand continued to contract. June natural gas prices continued lower,
posting a 13.8% loss as storage increased to nearly 34.0% greater than a year ago and 23.0% greater
than the five-year moving average. The Funds short positions in the energy sector produced a
relatively large gain. June gold futures opened April with a 6.5% loss as assurances from the G-20
that the IMF/World Bank will receive $1.1 trillion in capital diminished the need for a safe haven
from faltering financial markets. The precious metal moved sideways from there, straddling the $900
level, as news that the Chinese plan to continue building gold reserves was offset by poor physical
demand data out of India. The Funds long gold position produced a loss. Other market sectors did
not reveal significant trends and did not have a substantial influence on Aprils overall negative
performance.
For the second quarter of 2009, the most profitable market sector for the Fund on an overall
basis was the interest rates sector, while the greatest losses resulted from the Funds positions
in the currency sector.
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 a future obligation or loss. The Fund
trades in futures and forward 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 conditions, such as
interest rate volatility, resulting in such contracts being less valuable. If the markets should
move against all of the futures interests positions of the Fund at the same time, and if the
General Partner was unable to offset such positions, the Fund could experience substantial losses.
The General Partner attempts to minimize market risk through real-time monitoring of open
positions, diversification of the portfolio and maintenance of a margin-to-equity ratio in all but
extreme instances not greater than 60%.
In addition to market risk, in entering into futures and forward contracts there is a credit
risk that a counterparty will not be able to meet its obligations to the Fund. 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.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Fund does not engage in off-balance sheet arrangements.
40
Contractual Obligations
The Fund does not enter into contractual obligations or commercial commitments to make future
payments of a type that would be typical for an operating company. The Funds sole business is
trading futures contracts and forward currency contracts, both long (contracts to buy) and short
(contracts to sell), and possibly swap contracts on certain commodities. All such contracts are
settled by offset, not delivery. Substantially all such contracts are for settlement within four
months of the trade date and substantially all such contracts are held by the Fund for less than
four months before being offset or rolled over into new contracts with similar maturities. The
Financial Statements of Series A and Series B each present a Condensed Schedule of Investments
setting forth net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of such Series open futures and other
contracts at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.
Critical Accounting Policies Valuation of the Funds Positions
The General Partner believes that the accounting policies that are most critical to the Funds
financial condition and results of operations relate to the valuation of the Funds positions. The
majority of the Funds positions are exchange-traded futures contracts, which are valued daily at
settlement prices published by the exchanges. Any spot and forward foreign currency contracts held
by the Fund are valued at published daily settlement prices or at dealers quotes. The Fund uses
the amortized cost method for valuing U.S. Treasury bills; accordingly, the cost of securities plus
accreted discount, or minus amortized premium, approximates fair value. Thus, the General Partner
expects that under normal circumstances substantially all of the Funds assets are valued on a
daily basis at fair value using objective measures.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
ASU 2010-06
In January 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosures
about Fair Value Measurements (ASU 2010-06), which amends the disclosure requirements of ASC 820,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820), and requires new disclosures regarding
transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 categories, as well as requires entities to separately
present purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in their reconciliation of Level 3 fair value
measurements (i.e. to present such items on a gross basis rather than on a net basis), and which
clarifies existing disclosure requirements provided by ASC 820 regarding the level of
disaggregation and the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for measurements
that fall within either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. ASU 2010-06 is effective
for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about
purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value
measurements (which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for
interim periods within those fiscal years). The Fund has adopted ASU 2010-06 effective for
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The adoption of ASU 2010-06 did not have any
impact on the Funds results of operations, financial condition or cash flows, as the Fund has not
had any transfers in or out of Level 1 or 2 categories, nor does it hold Level 3 assets or
liabilities. The Fund does not anticipate the amendments effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2010 to have an impact on the Funds results of operations, financial condition or
cash flows.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
The General Partner has not established any formal procedures to resolve the conflicts of
interest described below. You should be aware that no such procedures have been established and
that there is no independent control on how conflicts of interest are resolved. Consequently, you
will be dependent on the good faith of the respective parties subject to such conflicts to resolve
such conflicts equitably. Although the General Partner will attempt to resolve conflicts in good
faith, there can be no assurance that these conflicts will not, in fact, result in losses for the
Fund.
41
The General Partner
Conflicts exist between the General Partners interests in and its responsibilities to the
Fund. The conflicts are inherent in the General Partner acting as general partner for and trading
advisor to the Fund and the Series. These conflicts and the potential detriments to the Limited
Partners are described below. The General Partners selection of itself as trading advisor was not
objective because it is also the general partner of the Fund and the general partner associated
with each Series. Investors must recognize that the General Partner has established the Fund as an
investment product to be managed by the General Partner implementing the Superfund proprietary
trading systems, and that it will not replace itself as the trading advisor even if doing so would
be beneficial to the Fund. The advisory relationship between the Fund with respect to the Series
and the General Partner, including the fee arrangement, was not negotiated at arms length, and the
performance fee arrangement between the Fund and the General Partner may create an incentive for
the General Partner to make trading decisions (or implement the Superfund proprietary trading
system) in a manner that is more speculative or subject to a greater degree of loss than would be
the case if no such arrangement existed. Investors should note, however, that the General Partner
believes that the fee arrangements are fair and competitive with compensation arrangements in pools
involving independent general partners and advisors.
Neither the General Partner nor its principals devote their time exclusively to managing the
Series. The General Partner acts as general partner to other commodity pools and the principals are
involved in the activities of affiliates of the General Partner, some of which serve as trading
advisor to other accounts which may compete with the Series for futures positions and the General
Partners (or its principals) services. Thus, the General Partner, or its principals, could have a
conflict between responsibilities owed to the Fund and those owed to other pools and accounts. The
General Partner believes that it has sufficient resources to discharge its responsibilities in this
regard in a fair manner. The General Partner or its affiliates may receive higher advisory fees
from some of those other accounts than it receives from the Series. The General Partner and its
affiliates, however, trade all accounts pursuing the same or a substantially similar trading and
investment strategy in a substantially similar manner, given the differences in size and timing of
the capital additions and withdrawals, and, in the case of the Fund, giving due consideration to
the dollar for dollar gold position.
In addition, the General Partner may find that futures positions established for the benefit
of the Series, including the Funds dollar for dollar gold position, when aggregated with positions
in other accounts managed by the General Partner, approach the speculative position limits in a
particular commodity. The General Partner may decide to address this situation either by
liquidating positions in that futures contract and reapportioning the portfolio in other contracts
or by trading contracts in other markets which do not have restrictive limits. The General Partner,
and its affiliates, will treat all affected accounts equitably, giving due consideration to
differences in account size, leverage level and investment objectives, including the Funds dollar
for dollar gold position. The principals of the General Partner are not prohibited from trading
futures and related contracts for their own accounts, although they are not doing so as of the date
of this Prospectus. Trading records for any such proprietary trading are not available for review
by clients or investors. Employees of the General Partner are prohibited from trading for their own
accounts.
Because the General Partner and/or its principals may trade for their own accounts at the same
time that they are managing the Series, investors should be aware that, as a result of a neutral
allocation system, testing a new trading system, trading their proprietary accounts more
aggressively or other actions not constituting a violation of fiduciary duty, such persons may from
time to time take positions in their proprietary accounts which are opposite, or ahead of, the
positions taken for the Series. This proprietary trading could, if substantial in size, cause
losses for the Series by increasing the cost at which they acquire and liquidate positions. The
results of any such trading will not be made available to Limited Partners.
Superfund Asset Management, Inc.
Superfund Asset Management, Inc., an affiliate of the General Partner owned in its entirety by
the sole owner of the General Partner, serves as an introducing broker for the Fund and, as such,
receives a portion of the round turn futures trading commissions paid by the Series. The
affiliation between Superfund Asset Management, Inc. and the General Partner gives rise to a
conflict of interest in that the General Partner has an incentive to trade more frequently than it
otherwise might absent the affiliation in order to generate commission income for its
42
affiliate, and the round turn brokerage commission paid by the Series to Superfund Asset
Management, Inc. was not negotiated at arms length. For purposes of evaluating this conflict of
interest, Limited Partners should assume that Superfund Asset Management, Inc. may receive up to
the full amount of the round turn futures trading commissions paid by each Series. Nevertheless,
the General Partner does not intend to initiate trades for the Series other than the trades
indicated by Superfunds systematic, non-discretionary automated trading system and in accordance
with its money management filters defining the maximum open risk per position taken. If the
Superfund trading systems are proposed to be changed in a manner that the General Partner
reasonably believes will cause the average annual trading volume to materially exceed 2,700 (Series
A) and 3,850 (Series B) round-turn trades per year per million dollars in such Series, the General
Partner will give the Limited Partner not less than 15 business days notice prior to implementing
any such change and will not implement such change until after a month-end has passed since giving
such notice. Because the General Partner is responsible for selecting brokers for the Fund, it is
unlikely to select a different introducing broker or dismiss Superfund Asset Management, Inc.
The Clearing Brokers
The clearing brokers, and the affiliates and personnel of such entities, may trade futures and
forward contracts for their own accounts and, in doing so, may compete with the Series for the same
positions potentially making it more difficult for the Series to effect transactions at favorable
prices potentially resulting in losses for the Series. Likewise, the clearing brokers may serve as
brokers for accounts in which they or an affiliate has a financial interest, for example, a pool
sponsored by the clearing broker or any affiliate, which could give rise to conflicts of interest
between their responsibility to the Series and to those accounts with respect to the execution of
trades for such accounts and the Series, potentially resulting in losses for the Series. However,
the General Partner has no reason to believe that the clearing brokers would knowingly or
deliberately favor any account over the Series accounts with respect to trade execution.
The Selling Agents
The selling agents, including Superfund USA, Inc., receive substantial annual selling
commissions on the sale of Units. Consequently the selling agents have a conflict of interest in
advising their clients whether to invest in the Units. The selling agents receive selling
commissions based on Units sold by them equal to, in the aggregate, up to 10% of the gross offering
proceeds for each Unit. Consequently, until this maximum cumulative selling commission limit is
reached, the selling agents have a disincentive to advise clients to redeem their Units even if
doing so is in such clients best interests potentially resulting in losses the client would not
have realized had the selling agent advised redeeming. Likewise, once a selling agent has been paid
the full 10% selling commission, the selling agent may have an incentive to advise its clients to
redeem their Units, even if doing so is not in the clients best interest potentially resulting in
forgone profit opportunities for the client.
Fiduciary Duty and Remedies
In evaluating the foregoing conflicts of interest, a prospective investor should be aware that
the General Partner has a responsibility to the Limited Partners to exercise good faith and
fairness in all dealings affecting the Series. The fiduciary responsibility of a general partner to
limited partners is a developing and changing area of the law and investors or prospective
investors who have questions concerning the duties of the General Partner as general partner should
consult their own professional advisors.
If a Limited Partner believes that the General Partner has violated its fiduciary duty to the
Limited Partners, he may seek legal relief individually or on behalf of such Series in which he
holds Units under applicable laws, including under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership
Act and under commodities laws, to recover damages from or require an accounting by the General
Partner. The Partnership Agreement is governed by Delaware law and any breach of the General
Partners fiduciary duty under the Partnership Agreement will generally be governed by Delaware
law. The Partnership Agreement does not limit the General Partners fiduciary obligations under
Delaware or common law; however, the General Partner may assert as a defense to claims of breach of
fiduciary duty that the conflicts of interest and fees payable to the General Partner have been
disclosed in this Prospectus.

44
Management Fee
The Fund will pay the General Partner a monthly management fee equal to one-twelfth of 2.25%
(2.25% annually) of the month-end net asset value of each Series. This fee will be paid to the
General Partner for providing ongoing advisory services and is payable regardless of whether or not
the Series are profitable.
Performance Fee
The Fund will pay the General Partner a monthly performance fee equal to 25% of the new
appreciation (if any) in the net asset value of each Series attributable to the General Partners
futures and forward trading performance (including the trading of gold pursuant to trading signals
generated by the Superfund trading system as part of the Funds trend-following trading strategy).
New appreciation means the total increase in net asset value of a Series from the end of the last
period for which a performance fee was earned by the General Partner, after adjusting for
subscriptions and redemptions, excluding interest income and the appreciation or depreciation
arising from a Series dollar for dollar gold position. New appreciation is not reduced by
extraordinary expenses, if any, or by the performance fee itself. That is, the General Partner does
not have to earn back the performance fee previously paid in order to generate new appreciation. If
a performance fee payment is made by a Series, and that Series thereafter incurs net trading
losses, the General Partner will retain the amount previously paid. Because new appreciation is
calculated without regard to profits or losses on a Series dollar for dollar gold position, but
only with regard to profits or losses attributable to the General Partners speculative futures and
forward trading, new appreciation may be achieved during a month in which losses attributable to
a Series dollar for dollar gold position are not off-set by gains from futures and forward trading
but a performance fee is nevertheless earned and paid. Thus, the General Partner may be paid a
performance fee during a year in which a Series incurred net losses. Trading losses will be carried
forward and no further performance fees may be paid until the prior trading losses have been
recovered; however, redemption of Units will result in a proportional decrease in any such trading
loss carryforward. Similarly, because new appreciation is calculated without regard to profits or
losses attributable to a Series dollar for dollar gold position, it is possible for a Series to
achieve net profits, attributable to the Series dollar for dollar gold position, during a month in
which the General Partners futures and forward trading is not profitable, in which case, no
performance fee would be earned or paid for such month.
For example, assume a Series paid a performance fee at the end of January in a given year and
assume that such Series recognized trading profits (net of all brokerage fees, management fees, and
operating and offering expenses but excluding interest income and profits or losses on the Series
dollar for dollar gold position) of $200,000 during February of that year. The new appreciation for
February would be $200,000 and the General Partners performance fee would be $50,000 (0.25 X
$200,000). Alternatively, assume that such Series paid a performance fee at the end of November in
a given year but did not pay a performance fee at the end of December of that year because it had
trading losses of $100,000. If such Series recognized trading profits of $200,000 at the end of
January the next year the new appreciation (excluding interest income and profit or loss on the
Series dollar for dollar gold position) for January would be $100,000 ($200,000 $100,000 loss
carryforward) and the General Partners performance fee would be $25,000 (0.25 X $100,000).
Organization and Ongoing Offering Expenses
The General Partner, or an affiliate, paid, without reimbursement, the Funds organization
costs of approximately $438,360. Limited Partners do not bear any part of those costs.
45
Each Series pays its allocable portion of the Funds ongoing offering costs. The ongoing
offering costs which the Series incur are legal costs associated with updating this Prospectus,
escrow fees, Blue Sky filing fees and printing and postage costs associated with producing and
mailing copies of the Prospectus. The ongoing offering costs will not exceed 0.3625% of the gross
offering proceeds of the Units registered pursuant to the Registration Statement of which this
Prospectus is part. When added to sales commissions discussed herein, the organization and
offering expenses of the Fund, as defined by Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.
(FINRA) Rule 2310, will not exceed 10.3625% of the gross offering proceeds of the Units
registered pursuant to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is part.
Operating Expenses
Each Series pays its allocable portion of the Funds actual operating expenses, which are not
expected to exceed 0.70% of the average month-end net assets per year of each Series. The Funds
operating costs include certain legal, auditing, accounting, administration and printing and
postage costs relating to the day-to-day operations of the Fund, and are distinct from the Funds
ongoing offering costs described above. Indirect operating expenses in connection with the
administration of the Fund, such as salaries, rent, travel and overhead of the General Partner are
borne by the General Partner, not the Fund or either Series.
Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner will assume liability for ongoing
offering expenses (limited to 0.3625% of the gross offering proceeds of the Units registered
pursuant to the Registration Statement of which the Prospectus is part) and operating expenses
which, when considered together, are in excess of 0.75% of the average month-end net assets per
year of each Series.
Round-Turn Brokerage Commissions
Each Series will be charged brokerage fees of $12.00 per round turn futures transaction plus
applicable regulatory and exchange fees where brokerage commissions are charged in U.S. dollars.
Brokerage commissions for certain foreign futures contracts to be traded by the Fund are charged in
currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Commission rates for brokerage commissions charged in
foreign currencies will be reset on the first business day of each calendar month to the foreign
currency equivalent of $12.00 based on the then current U.S. dollar exchange rate for the
applicable foreign currencies. Daily fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates will, however,
cause the actual commissions charged to the Fund for certain foreign futures contracts to be more
or less than $12.00 per round-turn. The round-turn transaction fee for purchases and sales of
foreign currency OTC spot and forward transactions in each Series with an equivalent value of one
hundred thousand dollars will likewise be charged at $12.00 per round-turn transaction. A portion
of the Funds brokerage fees will be paid to the clearing brokers for execution and clearing costs
and the balance will be paid to Superfund Asset Management, Inc., which serves as introducing
broker for each Series. Assuming 1,667 round turn transactions per year per million dollars in
Series A, and 2,500 round-turn transactions per year per million dollars in Series B, brokerage
commissions are estimated at 2.00% (Series A) and 3.00% (Series B) annually of average annual net
assets. These assumptions are based on the average number of round-turn transactions per million
dollars per year traded on behalf of each Series since the Funds inception and the average risk
capital of each Series allocated to the Funds short-term systematic, technical trading strategy
since July 1, 2010. The Partnership Agreement provides that brokerage commission costs to be borne
by the Fund shall not exceed 5% (Series A) and 7% (Series B) annually of the average annual net
assets of the Series.
Bid-Ask Spreads
Currency dealers trade with a spread between the price at which they are prepared to buy or
sell a particular currency. These bid-ask spreads are not actual fees paid by the Fund, but,
rather, represent a profit margin to the dealer for making a market in the currency. The General
Partner cannot quantify the amount of dealer profit that is embedded in a price quoted by a dealer
but does believe that the Fund will effect currency transactions at prevailing market prices.
Dealer profit from the Series currency trading may, over time, be substantial.
46
Sales Compensation
Within each Series, Units are issued in two Sub-Series. Series A-1 Units and Series B-1 Units
are subject to the selling commissions described below.
Series A and Series B pay Superfund USA, Inc. a selling commission of up to 10% of the gross
offering proceeds of the Units by paying 2% of the average month-end net asset value of each
outstanding Series A-1 Unit and Series B-1 Unit, respectively, in monthly installments of 1/12 of
2% of the month-end net asset value of such Units (the liability for which will be allocated to the
Series A-1 Units and Series B-1 Units, not Series A and Series B generally). Thus, the Series A-1
Units and Series B-1 Units are charged a commission of 2% of the average month-end net asset value
per Unit in the initial year after purchase. The Series A-1 Units and Series B-1 Units are charged
additional selling commissions of 2% per annum of the average month-end net asset value per Unit
thereafter; provided, however, that the maximum cumulative selling commission per Unit is limited
to 10% of the gross offering proceeds for such Unit (maximum of $17,303,547.50 in respect of the
$173,035,475 in Units offered pursuant to this Prospectus). Superfund USA, Inc. may retain
additional selling agents to assist with the placement of the Units and will pay all or a portion
of the annual selling commission it receives in respect of the Series A-1 Units and Series B-1
Units sold by the additional selling agents to the additional selling agents effecting the sales.
Once a Series A-1 Unit or Series B-1 Unit has been charged selling commissions totaling 10% of
the sale price of such Unit, the Unit will not be charged any further selling commissions and the
net asset value of such Unit will be recalculated, and the Unit will be redesignated, in terms of
Series A-2 Units or Series B-2 Units, as applicable, against which selling commissions are not
charged, as described below. The redesignation of Series A-1 Units to Series A-2 Units or Series
B-1 Units to Series B-2 Units will have no impact on the net asset value of an investors
investment in the Fund at the time of such redesignation (although immediately following such
redesignation, an investor will hold fewer Units than before such redesignation, but such Units
will have a higher per Unit net asset value).
Series A-2 Units and Series B-2 Units are not subject to selling commissions but are available
only to: (i) investors participating in selling agent asset-based or fixed-fee investment programs
or a registered investment advisers asset-based fee or fixed fee advisory program through which an
investment adviser recommends a portfolio allocation to the Fund and for which Superfund USA, Inc.
serves as selling agent, (ii) investors who purchased the Units through Superfund USA, Inc. or an
affiliated broker and who are commodity pools operated by commodity pool operators registered with
the NFA, and (iii) investors who have paid the maximum selling commission on their Series A-1 or
Series B-1 Units (by redesignation of such Units as Series A-2 Units or Series B-2 Units as
described herein). The General Partner, not the Series or any Limited Partner, will pay certain
broker-dealers a custodial fee of up to 0.50% of the average annual net asset value of the
outstanding Series A-2 Units and Series B-2 Units custodied with such broker-dealers.
Net Asset Value
The net asset value of a Series as of any date is the sum of all cash, plus U.S. Treasury
bills and other U.S. government securities valued at cost plus accrued interest, and other
securities of such Series valued at fair value, plus the fair value of all open futures, forward,
option and other derivative positions maintained by such Series, less all liabilities of such
Series, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
under the accrual basis of accounting. The net asset value of a Sub-Series as of any date is the
sum of a Series assets (as described above) attributable to such Sub-Series less such Series
liabilities attributable to such Sub-Series, determined as described above. The net asset value of
a Unit in a Sub-Series shall be equal to the net asset value of the applicable Sub-Series divided
by the number of Units in such Sub-Series outstanding as of the date of determination.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The entire offering proceeds received from subscriptions for Units will be credited to the
Series bank and brokerage accounts, as described below, and will be used by the Series for the
purpose of engaging in the futures and forward trading activities described in this Prospectus,
acquiring a dollar for dollar gold position, as described
47
herein, and as reserves to support the Series trading and investment activities, including
its dollar for dollar gold positions.
The Fund deposits each Series assets in cash or U.S. government securities in separate
accounts in the name of each such Series with the Funds clearing brokers for use as margin, in
accounts at HSBC Bank USA, New York, New York, and with foreign exchange counterparties as
collateral. The assets deposited for margin purposes with the Funds clearing brokers are held in
customer segregated funds accounts or foreign futures and foreign options secured amount
accounts, as required by the Commodity Exchange Act and CFTC regulations. Assets held by the
clearing brokers are held in cash or in U.S. government securities and possibly other instruments
approved by the CFTC for the investment of customer segregated funds.
The Series will trade in the forward currency markets. The Fund, in the name of each Series,
will deposit assets with foreign exchange counterparties in order to initiate and maintain currency
forward contracts. Such assets will be held in U.S. government securities or in cash, for which the
Series will receive interest credits at short-term rates. The foreign exchange counterparties may
receive a benefit as a result of the deposit of such cash in the form of a reduction in their
outstanding overnight borrowings, despite such cash belonging to the Series, not the
counterparties. These accounts are not subject to the segregation regulations of the CFTC and thus
may offer less protection than segregated funds accounts in the event of the bankruptcy of a
foreign exchange counterparty.
The General Partner expects, based on current margin requirements, that on average, over time,
approximately 20% of the Funds assets attributable to Series A and approximately 30% of the Funds
assets attributable to Series B will be committed as margin and collateral to support the Funds
speculative trading in futures and forward contracts, but at any given time the ratio of margin to
equity for each Series can range from 0% to more than 60% due to factors such as market volatility
and changes in margin requirements, and there can be no assurance that targeted margin to equity
ratios will be met (although Series B generally trades at a margin-to-equity ratio of approximately
1.5 times that of Series A). In addition, the General Partner expects, based on current margin
requirements, that approximately 4% to 6% of the Funds assets will be committed as margin at any
one time to support the Funds gold position. This amount may change if the current margin
requirements for gold are modified.
On an ongoing basis, the General Partner expects that each Series will be able to earn
interest on approximately 95% of its daily net assets. All interest earned on Fund assets will
accrue to the benefit of the Series, and the General Partner will not receive any benefit from the
approximately 5% of the Series assets which do not earn interest.
The General Partner does not expect to make any distributions of profits earned by the Series,
if any.
Neither the Fund nor either Series will lend any assets to any person or entity other than
through permitted securities investments. The General Partner will not commingle the property of
either Series with the property of any other person, provided, however, that deposits with banks,
futures or securities brokers or foreign exchange and derivative dealers shall not be considered a
prohibited commingling.
THE CLEARING BROKERS; ADMINISTRATION
ADM Investor Services, Inc.
ADM Investor Services, Inc. (ADMIS) is a registered futures commission merchant and is a
member of the NFA. Its main office is located at 141 West Jackson Blvd., Suite 1600A, Chicago,
Illinois 60604. In the normal course of its business, ADMIS is involved in various legal actions
incidental to its commodities business. None of these actions are expected either individually or
in aggregate to have a material adverse impact on ADMIS.
Neither ADMIS nor any of its principals have been the subject of any material administrative,
civil or criminal actions within the past five years, except the CFTC Order entered on March 26,
2009. In this order, the CFTC finds that during 2002 to 2004, ADMIS lacked adequate procedures
concerning post execution allocation of bunched orders and that it allowed an account manager to
carry out post-execution allocations from one or more days after the day the trades were executed
and that it failed to maintain certain records to identify orders subject to
48
post execution allocation. The order imposes a remedial sanction of $200,000 and requires
ADMIS to implement enhanced procedures for post execution allocation of trades.
Barclays Capital Inc.
Barclays Capital Inc. (BCI) is a registered securities broker-dealer and futures commission
merchant. Its business address is 200 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10166. BCI is involved in a
number of judicial and arbitration matters arising in connection with the conduct of its business,
including some proceedings relating to the collapse of Enron. BCIs management believes, based on
currently available information, that the results of such proceedings will not have a significant
adverse effect on BCIs financial condition. There have been no other administrative civil or
criminal actions, whether pending or concluded, against BCI within the last five years that would
be considered to be material as defined in regulations under the Commodity Exchange Act.
MF Global Inc.
MF Global is registered under the Commodity Exchange Act as a futures commission merchant and
a commodity pool operator, and is a member of the NFA in such capacities. In addition, MF Global is
registered with the SEC as a broker-dealer and is a FINRA member. MF Global was formerly known as
Man Financial Inc. (MFI) until the change of name to MF Global was effected on July 19, 2007. MF
Global is a member of all major U.S. futures exchanges and most major U.S. securities exchanges.
MF Globals main office is located at 717 Fifth Avenue, 9th Floor, New York, New York
10022-8101. MF Globals telephone number at such location is (212) 589-6200.
At any given time, MF Global is involved in numerous legal actions and administrative
proceedings, which in the aggregate, are not, as of the date of this Prospectus, expected to have a
material effect upon its condition, financial or otherwise, or to the services it will render to
the Fund. There have been no administrative, civil or criminal proceedings pending, on appeal or
concluded against MF Global or its principals within the five years preceding the date of this
Prospectus that MF Global would deem material for purposes of Part 4 of the Regulations of the
CFTC, except as follows:
In or about October 2003, MFI uncovered an apparent fraudulent scheme conducted by third
parties unrelated to MFI that may have victimized a number of its clients. CCPM, a German
introducing broker, introduced to MFI all the clients that may have been victimized. An agent of
CCPM, Michael Woertche (and his associates), apparently engaged in a Ponzi scheme in which
allegedly unauthorized transfers from and trading in accounts maintained at MFI were utilized to
siphon money out of these accounts, on some occasions shortly after they were established. MFI was
involved in two arbitration proceedings relating to these CCPM introduced accounts. The first
arbitration involved claims made by two claimants before an NFA panel. The second arbitration
involves claims made by four claimants before a FINRA panel. The claims in both arbitrations are
based on allegations that MFI and an employee assisted CCPM in engaging in, or recklessly or
negligently failed to prevent, unauthorized transfers from, and trading in, accounts maintained by
MFI. Damages sought in the NFA arbitration proceeding were approximately $1,700,000 in
compensatory damages, unspecified punitive damages and attorneys fees in addition to the
rescission of certain deposit agreements. The NFA arbitration was settled for $200,000 as to one
claimant and a net of $240,000 as to the second claimant during fiscal year 2008. Damages sought
in the FINRA proceeding were approximately $6,000,000 in compensatory damages and $12,000,000 in
punitive damages. During the year ended March 31, 2009, the FINRA arbitration was settled for an
aggregate of $800,000.
In May 2006, MFI was sued by the Receiver for Philadelphia Alternate Asset Fund (PAAF) and
associated entities for common law negligence, common law fraud, violations of the Commodity
Exchange Act and Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) violations (the
Litigation). In December 2007, without admitting any liability of any party to the Litigation to
any other party to the Litigation, the Litigation was settled with MFI agreeing to pay $69 million,
plus $6 million of legal expenses, to PAAF, in exchange for releases from all applicable parties
and the dismissal of the Litigation with prejudice. In a related action, MFI settled a CFTC
administrative proceeding (In the Matter of MF Global, f/k/a Man Financial Inc., and Thomas
Gilmartin) brought by the CFTC against MFI and one of its employees for failure to supervise and
recordkeeping violations. Without admitting or denying the allegations, MFI agreed to pay a civil
monetary penalty of $2 million and accept a cease and desist order.
49
On February 20, 2007, MFI settled a CFTC administrative proceeding (In the Matter of Steven M.
Camp and Man Financial Inc., CFTC Docket No. 07-04) in which MFI was alleged to have failed to
supervise one of its former associated persons (AP) who was charged with fraudulently soliciting
customers to open accounts at MFI. The CFTC alleged that the former AP misrepresented the
profitability of a web-based trading system and of a purported trading system to be traded by a
commodity trading advisor. Without admitting or denying the allegation, MFI agreed to pay
restitution to customers amounting to $196,900.44 and a civil monetary penalty of $120,000. MFI
also agreed to a cease and desist order and to strengthen its supervisory system for overseeing
sales solicitations by employees in connection with accounts to be traded under letters of
direction in favor of third party system providers.
On March 6, 2008, and thereafter, five virtually identical proposed class action securities
suits were filed against MF Globals parent, MF Global Ltd. (now, MF Global Holdings Ltd.), certain
of its officers and directors, and Man Group plc. These suits have now been consolidated into a
single action. The complaints seek to hold defendants liable under §§ 11, 12 and 15 of the
Securities Act of 1933 by alleging that the registration statement and prospectus issued in
connection with MF Global Ltd.s initial public offering in July 2007 were materially false and
misleading to the extent that representations were made regarding MF Global Ltd.s risk management
policies, procedures and systems. The allegations are based upon MF Global Ltd.s disclosure of
$141.5 million in trading losses incurred in a single day by an AP in his personal trading account
(Trading Incident), which losses MF Global was responsible to pay as an exchange clearing member.
The consolidated cases have been dismissed on a motion to dismiss by defendants. Plaintiffs have
appealed. In January 2011, the parties reached a preliminary agreement to settle whereby MF Global
Ltd. will contribute $2.5 million to an overall settlement amount of $90 million. The preliminary
settlement will be subject to court review and final approval.
On December 12, 2008, MF Global settled three Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) Group
disciplinary actions involving allegations that on a number of occasions in 2006 and 2007, MF
Global employees engaged in impermissible pre-execution communications in connection with trades
executed on the e-cbot electronic trading platform, withheld customer orders that were executable
in the market for the purpose of soliciting, and brokering contra-orders and crossed orders on the
e-cbot trading platform without allowing for the minimum required exposure period between the entry
of the orders. MF Global was also charged with failing to properly supervise its employees in
connection with these trades. Without admitting or denying any wrongdoing, MF Global consented to
an order of a CME Business Conduct Committee Panel which found that MF Global violated legacy CBOT
Rule 504.00 and Regulations 480.10 and 9B.13 and 9B.13(c) and ordered MF Global to pay a $400,000
fine, cease and desist from similar conduct and, in consultation with CME Market regulation staff,
enhance its training practices and supervisory procedures regarding electronic trading practices.
In the late spring of 2009, MF Global was sued in Oklahoma State Court by customers who were
substantial investors with Mark Trimble (Trimble) and/or Phidippides Capital Management
(Phidippides). Trimble and Phidippides may have been engaged in a Ponzi scheme. Plaintiffs allege
that MF Global materially aided and abetted Trimbles and Phidippides violations of the
anti-fraud provisions of the Oklahoma securities laws and they are seeking damages in excess of
$10,000 each. MF Global made a motion to dismiss which was granted by the court. Plaintiffs have
appealed.
In May 2009, investors in a venture set up by Nicholas Cosmo (Cosmo) sued Bank of America
and MF Global, among others, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New
York, alleging that MF Global, among others, aided and abetted Cosmo and related entities in a
Ponzi scheme in which investors lost $400 million. MF Global has made a motion to dismiss which was
granted and cannot be appealed by plaintiffs until the conclusion of the case against Bank of
America.
The Liquidation Trustee (Trustee) for Sentinel Management Group, Inc. (Sentinel) sued MF
Global in June 2009 on the theory that MF Globals withdrawal of $50.2 million within 90 days of
the filing of Sentinels bankruptcy petition on August 17, 2007 is a voidable preference under
Section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code and, therefore, recoverable by the Trustee, along with interest
and costs.
On August 28, 2009, Bank of Montreal (BMO) instituted suit against MF Global and its former
broker, Joseph Saab (Saab) (as well as a firm named Optionable, Inc. and five of its principals
or employees), in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. In its
complaint, BMO asserts various claims
50
against all defendants for their alleged misrepresentation of price quotes to BMOs Market
Risk Department (MRD) as independent quotes when defendants knew, or should have known, that
David Lee (Lee), BMOs trader, created the quotes which, in circular fashion, were passed on to
BMO through MF Globals broker, thereby enabling Lee substantially to overvalue his book at BMO.
BMO further alleges that MF Global and Saab knew that Lee was fraudulently misrepresenting prices
in his options natural gas book and aided and abetted his ability to do so by MF Globals actions
in sending price indications to the BMO MRD, and substantially assisted Lees breach of his
fiduciary duties to BMO as its employee. The Complaint seeks to hold all defendants jointly and
severally liable and, although it does not specify an exact damage claim, it claims CAD 680.0
million (approximately $635.9 million) as a pre-tax loss for BMO in its natural gas trading, claims
that it would not have paid brokerage commissions to MF Global (and Optionable), would not have
continued Lee and his supervisor as employees at substantial salaries and bonuses, and would not
have incurred substantial legal costs and expenses to deal with the Lee mispricing. MF Global has
made a motion to dismiss, which was denied.
On December 17, 2009, MF Global settled a CFTC administrative proceeding in connection with
the Trading Incident and three other matters without admitting or denying any allegations and
accepting a charge of failing to supervise (In the Matter of MF Global Inc. CFTC Docket No.
10-03). The three additional matters that were settled involved allegations that MF Global
Ltd. failed to implement procedures to ensure proper transmissions of price information for certain
options that were sent to a customer, specifically that the price indications reflected a consensus
taken on a particular time and date and were derived from different sources in the market place;
failed to diligently supervise the proper and accurate preparation of trading cards and failed to
maintain appropriate written authorization to conduct trades for a certain customer. Under the
Commissions order, MF Global agreed to pay an aggregate civil monetary penalty of $10 million
(which it had previously accrued) and agreed to a cease and desist order. In addition, MF Global
agreed to specific undertakings related to its supervisory practices and procedures and MF Global
agreed that it would engage an independent outside firm to review and assess the implementation of
the undertakings and certain recommendations that MF Global previously accepted. At the same time,
MF Global, without admitting or denying the allegations made by the CME, settled a CME disciplinary
action relating to the Trading Incident by paying a fine of $495,000.
On August 4, 2010, MF Global was added as a defendant to a consolidated class action complaint
filed against Moore Capital Management and related entities in the United States District Court for
the Southern District of New York alleging claims of manipulation and aiding and abetting
manipulation, in violation of the Commodity Exchange Act. Specifically, the complaint alleges that,
between October 25, 2007 and June 6, 2008, Moore Capital Management directed MF Global, as its
executing broker, to enter large market on close orders (at or near the time of the close) for
platinum and palladium futures contracts, which allegedly caused artificially inflated prices. On
August 10, 2010, MF Global was added as a defendant to a related class action complaint filed
against the Moore Capital Management-related entities on behalf of a class of plaintiffs who traded
the physical platinum and palladium in the relevant time frame, which alleges price fixing under
the Sherman Act and violations of the civil RICO Act. On September 30, 2010 plaintiffs filed an
amended consolidated class action complaint that includes all of the allegations and claims
identified above on behalf of subclasses of traders of futures contracts of platinum and palladium
and physical platinum and palladium. Plaintiffs claimed damages have not been quantified. This
matter is in its earliest stages.
In December 2010, the court-appointed receiver for Joseph Forte, L.P., (Forte Partnership)
filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania,
alleging that MF Global was negligent in the handling of a futures account the Forte Partnership
maintained at MF Global. The complaint alleges that as a result of MF Globals negligence, Joseph
Forte was able to operate a Ponzi scheme in which he misappropriated at least $25,000,000 from
limited partners in the Forte Partnership. The complaint seeks damages in excess of $150,000.
MF Global has not been served with the complaint.
MF Global and an affiliate, MF Global Market Services LLC (Market Services), are currently
involved in litigation with a former customer of Market Services, Morgan Fuel & Heating Co., Inc.
(Morgan Fuel) and its principals, Anthony Bottini, Jr., Brian Bottini and Mark Bottini (the
Bottinis). The litigations arise out of trading losses incurred by Morgan Fuel in OTC derivative
swap transactions, which were unconditionally guaranteed by the Bottinis.
51
On October 6, 2008, Market Services commenced an arbitration against the Bottinis to recover
$8.3 million, which is the amount of the debt owed to Market Services by Morgan Fuel after the
liquidation of the swap transactions. MF Global Market Services LLC v. Anthony Bottini, Jr., Brian
Bottini and Mark Bottini, FINRA No. 08-03673. Each of the Bottinis executed a guaranty in favor of
Market Services personally and unconditionally guaranteeing payment of the obligations of Morgan
Fuel upon written demand by Market Services. Market Services asserted a claim of breach of contract
based upon the Bottinis failure to honor the guarantees.
On October 21, 2008, Morgan Fuel commenced a separate arbitration proceeding before FINRA
against MF Global and Market Services. Morgan Fuel claims that MF Global and Market Services caused
Morgan Fuel to incur approximately $14.2 million in trading losses. Morgan Fuel v. MFG and Market
Services, FINRA No. 08-03879. Morgan Fuel seeks recovery of $5.9 million in margin payments that it
allegedly made to Market Services and a declaration that it has no responsibility to pay Market
Services for the remaining $8.3 million in trading losses because Market Services should not have
allowed Morgan Fuel to enter into, or maintain, the swap transactions. On MF Globals motion, the
Supreme Court of the State of New York determined that there was no agreement to arbitrate such
claims. Morgan Fuel appealed and all appeals were denied.
The Bottinis also asserted a third-party claim against Morgan Fuel, which in turn asserted a
fourth-party claim against MF Global, Market Services and Steven Bellino (an MF Global employee) in
the arbitration proceeding commenced by Market Services. The Supreme Court of the State of New York
denied a motion to stay the fourth party claim but the denial to stay was reversed. Morgan Fuel
filed a motion to appeal with the New York Court of Appeals which was denied.
Rosenthal Collins Group, L.L.C.
Rosenthal Collins Group, L.L.C. (RCG), a successor entity to firms dating back to 1923, is
an Illinois limited liability company with its principal offices at 216 West Jackson Boulevard,
Chicago, Illinois 60606. It is a registered futures commission merchant and a member of the NFA.
The managing members of RCG are Leslie Rosenthal and J. Robert Collins.
As is the case with similar securities and futures and derivatives organizations, RCG, a
futures brokerage firm having a number of branch offices, introducing brokers and customers, and
its principals, are from time to time engaged in various lawsuits and administrative proceedings
with customers and regulatory authorities incidental to conducting business as a futures and
derivatives broker. Some matters are settled, some are resolved in favor of RCG and some customer
complaints are resolved in favor of customers and regulatory authorities. In the opinion of
management of RCG, the amounts in controversy relative to the capital of RCG have not been
material. Moreover, as a matter of policy, RCG vigorously defends all proceedings against it and
its principals, and in proceedings currently pending, RCG believes it has meritorious defenses.
On August 26, 2008 without admitting or denying the findings, RCG settled a CFTC
administrative action alleging that it failed to diligently supervise certain of its New York City
branch office employees in the handling of certain payments to third parties from a customers
account, made or delivered at the customers direction but against company policy. In connection
with the settlement, RCG paid a civil monetary penalty of $310,000 and agreed to augment its
supervision of its own policy and procedures for reviewing and approving disbursements to third
parties from customer accounts.
On December 28, 2009 without admitting or denying the findings, RCG settled a matter with the
Chicago Board of Trade (the Exchange) in which the Exchange found that RCG violated Exchange
Rules 1102F and 538 when on September 12, 2008 a RCG customer held a short September 2008 soybean
futures position beyond the contracts expiration. At that time, there was a severe shortage of
deliverable soybeans in the cash market, and RCG neither owned, nor was able to obtain, shipping
certificates that would have allowed RCG to meet the delivery requirements until one day after the
delivery due date utilizing a transitory exchange-for-physicals transaction. RCG cooperated with
the Exchange staff and settled the matter by paying the Exchange a penalty of $250,000 and by
implementing enhanced procedural safeguards concerning customer positions at the expiration times
of futures contracts.
52
On September 30, 2010, without admitting or denying the findings, RCG settled a CFTC
administrative action alleging that from July 2005 through May 2008 it failed to supervise
diligently its employees handling of customer accounts in the name of George D. Hudgins by not
following RCGs internal compliance procedures with respect to obtaining certain customer
information and investigating and reporting activity regarding Hudgins accounts that they should
have recognized as suspicious. In 2009, Hudgins was convicted for operating a fraudulent commodity
pool, among other matters. In connection with the settlement, RCG paid a civil monetary penalty of
$780,000 and relinquished $618,526 in commissions to the court appointed receiver for Hudgins.
RCG is involved in two patent infringement cases with Trading Technologies International Inc.
(TT). On February 23, 2011, a court entered a default judgment related to the first dispute and
imposed a $1 million sanction against RCG. On March 14, 2011, RCG filed a motion for clarification
and reconsideration, which is currently under review by the court. The second dispute is in its
initial discovery stage. RCG intends to vigorously defend against the default judgment and the
sanctions order, and the allegations by TT.
RCG, its principals and its predecessor companies have not been parties to any criminal action
during the past ten years or at any other time. Moreover, there have been no administrative or
civil actions, which management of RCG considers material, taken or concluded against RCG, its
principals and its predecessors within the ten years preceding the date of this Prospectus, and
there are none pending or on appeal.
The General Partner is not obligated to continue to use the clearing brokers identified above
and may select others or additional dealers and counterparties in the future, provided the General
Partner believes that their service and pricing are competitive.
No broker may pay, directly or indirectly, rebates or give-ups to any trading advisor or
manager or to the General Partner or any of their respective affiliates in respect of sales of
Units; and such prohibitions may not be circumvented by any reciprocal business arrangements.
The Administrator
SS&C Fund Services was appointed as the Funds administrator effective August 1, 2010.
Pursuant to a Fund Administration Services Agreement entered into by and among the Fund, the
General Partner and SS&C (the Administration Agreement), SS&C will be responsible for, among
other things: (i) Fund accounting services, including the preparation and maintenance of the
Funds accounting books and records; (ii) accounting services with respect to investor services,
including the preparation and distribution of investor statements; (iii) financial reporting,
including the preparation of financial statements to be included in the Funds Forms 10-Q and 10-K;
and (iv) tax services.
The Administration Agreement provides that SS&C shall not be liable to a Series for any acts
or omissions in connection with the services rendered to such Series under such agreement in the
absence of gross negligence, bad faith, fraud, dishonesty or willful misconduct. In addition, the
Fund has agreed to indemnify SS&C from and against any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, claims, demands, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (a Claim)
which may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against them arising in connection with the
provision of services under the Administration Agreement provided that any such Claim does not
arise out of or is not connected to SS&Cs material breach of the Administration Agreement or
SS&Cs gross negligence, bad faith, fraud, dishonesty or willful misconduct. The Administration
Agreement will automatically renew at the end of each calendar year for successive one year terms
unless either party provides the other with written notice of termination at least sixty days prior
to the end of any renewal term.
SS&C is a business unit of SS&C Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Its principal
place of business is 80 Lamberton Road, Windsor, Connecticut 06095.

DISTRIBUTIONS; REDEMPTIONS; EXCHANGES
Distributions
The Series are not required to make any distributions to Limited Partners. While the General
Partner has the authority to make such distributions, it does not intend to do so given that
Limited Partners may redeem any or all of their Units, at the then current net asset value per
Unit, as of the end of any month.
Redemptions
A Limited Partner may request the redemption of any or all of his Units, at the net asset
value per Unit of the relevant Series, as of the end of the month, subject to a minimum redemption
of $1,000. A Limited Partner redeeming less than all of his investment in a Series, after giving
effect to the requested redemption, must maintain an investment in such Series at least equal to
the minimum initial investment amount of $5,000. A request for less than a full redemption that
would reduce a Limited Partners remaining investment to less than $5,000 will be treated as a
request for redemption in full. Limited Partners must transmit a written request for redemption to
the General Partner not less than five (5) business days prior to the end of the month (or such
shorter period as permitted by the General Partner) as of which redemption is to be effective. The
request for redemption must specify the dollar amount for which redemption is sought or no dollar
amount for full redemptions. Redemption proceeds will generally be paid within 20 days after the
effective date of the redemption. However, in special circumstances, including, but not limited to,
inability to liquidate dealers positions as of a redemption date or default or delay in payments
due from clearing brokers, banks or other persons or entities, the Fund may in turn delay payment
to persons requesting redemption of that part of the net assets of each Series represented by the
sums that are the subject of such default or delay, and redeeming Limited Partners will be paid
their pro rata portion of the redemption amount not subject to default or delay. No such delays
have been imposed to date by any pool sponsored by the General Partner.
In the event that the estimated net asset value per Unit of a Series, or Sub-Series thereof,
after adjustments for distributions, as of the close of business on any business day is less than
50% of the net asset value per Unit of such Series, or Sub-Series thereof, as of the most recent
month-end, a special redemption period shall be established. The details of the special redemption
are set forth in Section 12 of the Partnership Agreement.
Exchanges
A Limited Partner (or an assignee of Units) may redeem his Units in a Series effective as of
the last business day of any month and authorize the General Partner to use the net proceeds of
such redemption to purchase Units of the other Series (a Series Exchange), subject to any
applicable sales commissions. The minimum amount of any Series Exchange is $5,000, unless a Limited
Partner is redeeming his entire interest in a Series. A Limited Partner seeking to effect a Series
Exchange by partial redemption from a Series must continue to hold Units of such Series with a net
asset value of not less than $5,000 as of the effective date of the Series Exchange. A Series
Exchange will be effective as of the last business day of the month ending after an exchange
subscription agreement in proper form has been received by the General Partner.
Series Exchanges are conditioned upon Units being registered and qualified for sale pursuant
to a current prospectus immediately prior to each Exchange Date, and the General Partner may
allocate available Units to new subscribers for Units prior to allocating any Units to Limited
Partners seeking to make a Series Exchange. In the event that a request for exchange cannot be
honored, the General Partner shall defer such exchange until it can be honored. The General
Partner, through the selling agent, will make reasonable efforts to notify the Limited Partner once
it is determined that an exchange request cannot be honored. Although generally irrevocable, an
exchange request that cannot be honored due to the unavailability of registered units may be
revoked by written notice to the General Partner.

SUPERFUND GOLD, L.P. LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
The following is a summary of the Partnership Agreement, a form of which is attached as
Exhibit A and incorporated by reference.
Organization and Limited Liabilities
Superfund Gold, L.P. is organized under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act.
The Partnership Agreement provides that the Fund may establish one or more designated Series of
partnership interests. Under the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner has designated Series A
and Series B. The General Partner may designate other Series under the Partnership Agreement as
provided therein. In general, the liability of a Limited Partner within a Series under the Delaware
Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act is limited to the amount of his capital contribution to
such Series and his share of any undistributed profits of such Series. However, Limited Partners
could be required, as a matter of law, to return to a Series any distribution which they received
at a time when such Series was insolvent or which was made in violation of the Partnership
Agreement. Under Delaware law, the assets and liabilities of each Series are separate from those of
the other Series.
Management of Fund Affairs
The Partnership Agreement effectively gives the General Partner, as general partner, full
control over the management and operations of each Series, and the Partnership Agreement gives no
management role to the Limited Partners. The Limited Partners have no voice in the operations of
the Fund or either Series, other than certain limited voting rights as set forth in the Partnership
Agreement. In the course of its management, the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute
discretion, appoint an affiliate or affiliates of the General Partner as additional general
partners (except where the General Partner has been notified by the Limited Partners that it is to
be replaced as the general partner) and retain such persons, including affiliates of the General
Partner, as it deems necessary for the efficient operation of each Series.
Registered Agents Legal Services, LLC will accept service of legal process on the Fund in the
State of Delaware. The General Partner has been designated as the tax matters partner of the Fund
for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code).
Sharing of Profits and Losses
Each Limited Partner within a Series has a capital account. Initially, a Limited Partners
capital account balance equals the amount paid for the Units in such Series. The Limited Partners
capital account balance is then proportionally adjusted monthly to reflect any additions or
withdrawals by each Limited Partner and his portion of such Series gains or losses for the month
as reflected by changes in the net asset value for such Series.
Federal Tax Allocations
At year-end, the General Partner will determine the total taxable income or loss for the year
attributable to each Series. Subject to the special allocation of net capital gain or loss, the
taxable gain or loss is allocated to each Partner within a Series in proportion to his holdings of
Units therein and each Partner is responsible for his share of taxable income attributable to such
Series. For net capital gain and loss, the gains and losses are first allocated to each Partner who
redeemed Units during the year. Net capital gain and loss is then allocated to each Partner whose
tax accounts are greater or less than their related capital accounts, so as to eliminate the
disparity. Finally, the remaining net capital gain or loss is then allocated to each Partner in
proportion to his holdings of Units. Each Partners tax basis in his Units is increased by the
taxable income allocated to him and reduced by any distributions received and losses allocated to
him. Upon liquidation of a Series, each Partner within such Series will receive his proportionate
share of Fund assets attributable to such Series.
55
Dispositions
A Limited Partner may transfer or assign his Units upon 30 days prior written notice to the
General Partner. No such assignee may become a substituted Limited Partner except with the consent
of the General Partner; provided, however, that the General Partner may withhold such consent only
to prevent or minimize adverse legal or tax consequences to the Fund. An assignee not admitted to
the Fund as a Limited Partner will have only rights to its share of the profits and capital of the
applicable Series and redemption rights. Assignees receive carry-over tax accounts and capital
accounts from their assignors, irrespective of the amount paid for the assigned Units.
Dissolution and Termination of the Fund
The Fund will be terminated and dissolved upon the happening of the earlier of: (1) Limited
Partners owning more than 50% of the outstanding Units of each Series vote to dissolve the Fund;
(2) the General Partner withdraws as general partner and no new general partner is appointed; (3) a
decline in the aggregate net assets of each Series to less than $500,000; (4) the continued
existence of the Fund becomes unlawful; or (5) the Fund is dissolved by operation of law. The
trading activities with respect to a Series will be terminated, and the assets attributable to the
Series distributed to Limited Partners holding Units of such Series upon: (1) Limited Partners
holding more than 50% of the outstanding Units of such Series vote to terminate the Series; (2) the
General Partner withdraws as the general partner associated with such Series and no new general
partner associated with such Series is appointed; (3) the aggregate net assets attributable to the
Series decline to less than $500,000; or (4) the continuation of the Series becomes unlawful.
Amendments and Meetings
The Partnership Agreement may be amended with the approval of more than 50% of the Units then
owned by Limited Partners of each Series. The General Partner may make minor changes to the
Partnership Agreement without the approval of the Limited Partners. These minor changes can be for
clarifications of inaccuracies or ambiguities, modifications in response to changes in the Code or
Treasury regulations or for any other changes the General Partner deems advisable so long as they
do not change the basic investment program of the Fund and are for the benefit of or not adverse to
the Limited Partners. Limited Partners owning at least 10% of the outstanding Units of a Series can
call a meeting of Unitholders of such Series. At that meeting, the Limited Partners, provided that
Limited Partners owning a majority of the outstanding Units of such Series concur, can vote to:
(1) amend the Partnership Agreement with respect to such Series without the consent of the General
Partner; (2) terminate such Series; (3) terminate contracts with the General Partner; (4) approve
the sale of the assets attributable to the Series; and (5) remove and replace the General Partner
with respect to the Series.
Indemnification and Standard of Liability
The General Partner and its controlling persons may not be liable to the Series or any Limited
Partner for errors in judgment or other acts or omissions not amounting to misconduct or
negligence, as a consequence of the indemnification and exculpatory provisions described in the
following paragraph. Purchasers of Units may have more limited rights of action than they would
absent such provisions.
Each Series will indemnify the General Partner and its affiliates performing services for the
Series for actions taken on behalf of such Series, provided that the General Partners or its
affiliates conduct was determined, in good faith, by the General Partner to be in the best
interests of such Series and the conduct was not the result of negligence or misconduct by the
General Partner or its affiliates. Indemnification for alleged violation of securities laws is only
available if the following conditions are satisfied: (1) a successful adjudication on the merits
of each count alleged has been obtained; or (2) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on
the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction; or (3) a court of competent jurisdiction approves
a settlement of the claims and finds indemnification of the settlement and related costs should be
made; and (4) in the case of (3), the court has been advised of the position of the SEC and certain
states in which the Units were offered and sold as to indemnification for the violations. See
Section 17(b) of the Partnership Agreement for additional details.
56
Reports to Limited Partners
The General Partner provides various reports and statements to the Limited Partners including:
(1) a monthly unaudited income statement of the prior months Series activities; (2) annual
audited financial statements; (3) tax information necessary for the preparation of the Limited
Partners annual federal income tax returns; and (4) if the net asset value per Unit within a
Series, or a Sub-Series thereof, as of the end of any business day declines by 50% or more from the
prior month-end Unit value of such Series, or Sub-Series thereof, the General Partner will suspend
trading activities with respect to such Series, notify all Limited Partners within such Series of
the relevant facts within seven business days and declare a special redemption date for Unitholders
of such Series.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX ASPECTS
The following constitutes the opinion of Sidley Austin LLP and summarizes the material federal
income tax consequences to individual investors in each Series. The following is based upon
interpretations of existing laws in effect on the date of this Prospectus, and no assurance can be
given that courts or fiscal authorities responsible for the administration of such laws will agree
with the interpretations or that changes in such laws will not occur.
Each Series Partnership Tax Status
The General Partner has not elected, and does not intend to elect, to classify the Fund or
either Series as an association taxable as a corporation. Based on the foregoing, in the opinion
of Sidley Austin LLP, each Series will be classified as a partnership for federal income tax
purposes. The General Partner has provided to Sidley Austin LLP a list of contracts indicative of
the type of contracts that it intends to trade on behalf of the Series. On the basis thereof, in
the opinion of Sidley Austin LLP, neither Series will be treated as a publicly traded partnership
taxable as a corporation.
Taxation of Limited Partners on Profits and Losses of Each Series
Each Limited Partner must pay tax on his share of the annual income and gains of each Series
in which such Limited Partner invests, if any, even if such Series does not make any cash
distributions. Each Series generally allocates its gains and losses equally to each Unit in such
Series. However, a Limited Partner who redeems any Units in a Series will be allocated his share of
such Series capital gains and losses in order that the amount of cash the Limited Partner receives
for a redeemed Unit equals the Limited Partners adjusted tax basis in the redeemed Unit less any
offering or syndication expenses allocated to such Units. A Limited Partners adjusted tax basis in
a redeemed Unit equals the amount originally paid for the Unit, increased by income or gains
allocated to the Unit and decreased (but not below zero) by distributions, deductions or losses
allocated to the Unit.
Deduction of Losses by Limited Partners
A Limited Partner may deduct Series losses only to the extent of his tax basis in his Units in
such Series. Generally, a Limited Partners tax basis in his Units of a Series is the amount paid
for the Units reduced (but not below zero) by his share of any Series distributions, losses and
expenses and increased by his share of Series income and gains. However, a Limited Partner subject
to at-risk limitations (generally, non-corporate taxpayers and closely-held corporations) can
only deduct losses to the extent he is at-risk. The at-risk amount is similar to tax basis,
except that it does not include any amount borrowed on a non-recourse basis or from someone with an
interest in a Series.
Passive Activity Loss Rules and Their Effect on the Treatment of Income and Loss
The trading activities of each Series are not a passive activity. Accordingly, a Limited
Partner can deduct Series losses from taxable income. However, a Limited Partner cannot offset
losses from passive activities against Series gains.
57
Cash Distributions and Unit Redemptions
Cash received from a Series by a Limited Partner as a distribution with respect to his Units
in such Series or in redemption of less than all of his Units in such Series generally is not
reportable as taxable income by a partner, except as described below. Rather, such distribution
reduces (but not below zero) the total tax basis of the remaining Units in such Series held by the
Limited Partner after the redemption. Any cash distribution by a Series in excess of a Limited
Partners adjusted tax basis for his Units in such Series is taxable to him as gain from the sale
or exchange of such Units. Because a Limited Partners tax basis in his Units in a Series is not
increased on account of his distributive share of such Series income until the end of such Series
taxable year, distributions during the taxable year could result in taxable gain to a Limited
Partner even though no gain would result if the same distributions were made at the end of the
taxable year. Furthermore, the share of a Series income allocable to a Limited Partner at the end
of the Series taxable year would also be includable in the Limited Partners taxable income and
would increase his tax basis in his remaining Units in such Series as of the end of such taxable
year.
Redemption for cash of all Units in a Series held by a Limited Partner will result in the
recognition of gain or loss for federal income tax purposes. Such gain or loss will be equal to the
difference, if any, between the amount of the cash distribution and the Limited Partners adjusted
tax basis for such Units. A Limited Partners adjusted tax basis for his Units in a Series includes
for this purpose his distributive share of such Series income or loss for the year of such
redemption.
Potential Series-Level Consequences of Withdrawals and Transfers of Units
If a Limited Partner receives a distribution of property in liquidation of his Units in a
Series that would, if the Series had a Code Section 754 election in effect, require the Series to
make a downward adjustment of more than $250,000 to the basis of its remaining assets, then even if
the Series does not have a Code Section 754 election in effect, the Series will be required to make
a downward adjustment to the basis of its remaining assets.
In addition, if immediately after the transfer of a Unit in a Series, the Series adjusted
basis in its property exceeds the fair market value by more than $250,000 of such property, the
Series generally will be required to adjust the basis of its property with respect to the
transferee Limited Partner.
Gain or Loss on Section 1256 Contracts and Non-Section 1256 Contracts
Section 1256 Contracts include futures and most options traded on U.S. exchanges and certain
foreign currency contracts. For tax purposes, Section 1256 Contracts that remain open at year-end
are treated as if the position were closed at year-end. The gain or loss on Section 1256 Contracts
is characterized as 60% long-term capital gain or loss and 40% short-term capital gain or loss
regardless of how long the position was open. Non-Section 1256 Contracts include, among other
things, certain foreign currency transactions such as transactions when the amount paid or received
is in a foreign currency. Gain and loss from these non-Section 1256 Contracts is generally
short-term capital gain or loss or ordinary income or loss.
Trading and Investing in Swaps
The Series may invest in and trade swaps. The proper tax treatment of swaps may not be
entirely free from doubt. Each Series will treat any gain or loss on such swap positions as
ordinary income or loss. Limited Partners will be required to treat swaps for federal income tax
purposes in the same manner as they are treated by the Series.
Tax on Capital Gains and Losses
Long-term capital gains net gain on capital assets held more than one year and 60% of the
gain on Section 1256 Contracts are currently taxed at a maximum rate of 15%. Short-term capital
gains net gain on capital assets held not more than one year and 40% of the gain on Section 1256
Contracts are currently subject to tax at the same rates as ordinary income, with a maximum
current tax rate of 35% for individuals. Non-corporate taxpayers can deduct capital losses only to
the extent of their capital gains plus $3,000 per year. Accordingly, a Series could suffer
significant losses and a Limited Partner could still be required to pay taxes on his share of such
58
Series interest income. An individual taxpayer can carry back net capital losses on Section
1256 Contracts three years to offset earlier gains on Section 1256 Contracts. To the extent the
taxpayer cannot offset past Section 1256 Contract gains, he can carry forward such losses
indefinitely as losses on Section 1256 Contracts.
Interest Income
Interest received by a Series is taxed as ordinary income. Net capital losses can offset
ordinary income of non-corporate taxpayers only to the extent of $3,000 per year. See Tax on
Capital Gains and Losses.
Limited Deduction for Certain Expenses
The General Partner does not consider the management fees and the performance fees, as well as
other ordinary expenses of each Series, to be investment advisory expenses or other expenses of
producing income. Accordingly, the General Partner intends to treat these expenses as ordinary
business deductions not subject to the material deductibility limitations which apply to investment
advisory expenses. The Internal Revenue Service (the IRS) could contend otherwise and to the
extent the IRS recharacterizes these expenses, a Limited Partner would have the amount of the
ordinary expenses allocated to him reduced accordingly.
Syndication Fees
Neither Series nor any Limited Partner is entitled to any deduction for syndication expenses,
if any, in the year they reduce net asset value, nor can these expenses be amortized by each Series
or any Limited Partner even though the payment of such expenses reduces net asset value.
Investment Interest Deductibility Limitations
Individual taxpayers can deduct investment interest interest on indebtedness allocable to
property held for investment only to the extent that it does not exceed net investment income.
Net investment income does not include adjusted net capital gain taxed at the lower rate.
Medicare Tax
Recently enacted legislation provides that, effective with respect to taxable years beginning
after December 31, 2012, individual taxpayers will generally be subject to a 3.8% tax on the lesser
of (i) their net investment income for a taxable year or (ii) the excess of their modified
adjusted gross income for such taxable year over $200,000 ($250,000 in the case of joint filers).
For these purposes, net investment income will include a Limited Partners share of interest,
dividends, gain and other income derived from the Funds investment and trading activities.
Unrelated Business Taxable Income
Tax-exempt Limited Partners will not be required to pay tax on their share of income or gains
of a Series, provided that such Limited Partners do not purchase Units with borrowed funds and that
the Series does not utilize leverage.
Taxation of Foreign Limited Partners
A Limited Partner who is a non-resident alien individual, foreign corporation, foreign
partnership, foreign trust or foreign estate (a Foreign Limited Partner) generally is not subject
to taxation by the United States on capital gains from commodity or derivatives trading, provided
that such Foreign Limited Partner (in the case of an individual) does not spend more than 182 days
in the United States during his or her taxable year, and provided further, that such Foreign
Limited Partner is not engaged in a trade or business within the United States during a taxable
year to which income, gain, or loss is treated as effectively connected. An investment in a
Series should not, by itself, cause a Foreign Limited Partner to be engaged in a trade or business
within the United States for the foregoing purposes, assuming that the trading activities of each
Series will be conducted as described in this
59
Prospectus. Pursuant to a safe harbor in the Code and proposed Treasury regulations, an
investment fund whose U.S. business activities consist solely of trading commodities and
derivatives for its own account should not be treated as engaged in a trade or business within the
United States provided that such investment fund is not a dealer in commodities or derivatives and
that the commodities traded are of a kind customarily dealt in on an organized commodity exchange.
The General Partner has advised Sidley Austin LLP of the contracts that each Series will trade.
Based on a review of such contracts as of the date of this Prospectus, the General Partner has been
advised by its counsel, Sidley Austin LLP, that such contracts should satisfy the safe harbor. If
the contracts traded by a Series in the future were not covered by the safe harbor, there is a risk
that such Series would be treated as engaged in a trade or business within the United States. In
the event that a Series were found to be engaged in a United States trade or business, a Foreign
Limited Partner would be required to file a United States federal income tax return for such year
and pay tax at full United States rates. In the case of a Foreign Limited Partner which is a
foreign corporation, an additional 30% branch profits tax might be imposed. Furthermore, in such
event such Series would be required to withhold taxes from the income or gain allocable to such a
Foreign Limited Partner under Section 1446 of the Code.
A Foreign Limited Partner is not subject to United States tax on certain interest income,
including income attributable to (i) original issue discount on Treasury bills having a maturity of
183 days or less or (ii) commercial bank deposits, provided, in either case, that such Foreign
Limited Partner is not engaged in a trade or business within the United States during a taxable
year. Additionally, a Foreign Limited Partner not engaged in a trade or business within the United
States is not subject to United States tax on interest income (other than certain so-called
contingent interest) attributable to obligations issued after July 18, 1984 that are in
registered form if the Foreign Limited Partner provides the Series in which such Limited Partner
invests with the appropriate Form W-8.
The HIRE Act provides that, beginning on January 1, 2013, a 30% withholding tax will be
imposed on certain payments to Foreign Limited Partners of U.S. source income and proceeds from the
sale of property that could give rise to U.S. source interest or dividends unless the Foreign
Limited Partner discloses the name, address and taxpayer identification number of certain U.S.
persons that own, directly or indirectly, an interest in the Foreign Limited Partner, as well as
certain other information relating to such interest. If a Foreign Limited Partner fails to provide
the Fund with the necessary information, payments to such Foreign Limited Partner of U.S. source
income and payments of proceeds from the sale of property described in the previous paragraph will
generally be subject to a 30% withholding tax. Prospective investors are encouraged to consult with
their own tax advisors regarding the possible implications of the HIRE Act on their investment in
the Fund.
IRS Audits of the Fund and its Limited Partners
The IRS audits partnership-related items at the entity level rather than at the partner level.
The General Partner acts as tax matters partner for each Series, and has the authority to
determine each Series responses to an audit. If an audit results in an adjustment, all Limited
Partners may be required to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties.
State and Other Taxes
In addition to the federal income tax consequences described above, each Series and the
Limited Partners may be subject to various state and other taxes.
PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS BEFORE DECIDING WHETHER TO
INVEST.
INVESTMENTS BY EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
General
The following section sets forth certain consequences under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA), and the Code, which a fiduciary of an employee benefit
plan as defined in, and subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of, ERISA or of a
plan as defined in and subject to Section 4975
60
of the Code who has investment discretion should consider before deciding to invest any of
such plans assets in a Series (such employee benefit plans and plans being referred to herein
as Plans, and such fiduciaries with investment discretion being referred to herein as Plan
Fiduciaries). The following summary is not intended to be complete, but only to address certain
questions under ERISA and the Code which are likely to be raised by the Plan Fiduciarys own
counsel.
In general, the terms employee benefit plan, as defined in ERISA and plan, as defined in
Section 4975 of the Code together refer to any plan or account of various types which provides
retirement benefits or welfare benefits to an individual or to an employers employees and their
beneficiaries. Such plans and accounts include, but are not limited to, corporate pension and
profit sharing plans, simplified employee pension plans, Keogh plans for self-employed
individuals (including partners), individual retirement accounts described in Section 408 of the
Code and medical benefit plans.
Each Plan Fiduciary must give appropriate consideration to the facts and circumstances that
are relevant to an investment in a Series, including the role an investment in a Series plays in
the Plans investment portfolio. Each Plan Fiduciary, before deciding to invest in a Series, must
be satisfied that investment in such Series is a prudent investment for the Plan, that the
investments of the Plan, including the investment in such Series, are diversified so as to minimize
the risk of large losses and that an investment in such Series complies with the documents of the
Plan and related trust.
EACH PLAN FIDUCIARY CONSIDERING ACQUIRING UNITS OF A SERIES MUST CONSULT ITS OWN LEGAL AND TAX
ADVISORS BEFORE DOING SO.
Plan Assets
The purchase of Units of a Series by a Plan raises the issue of whether that purchase will
cause, for purposes of Title I of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code, the underlying assets of a
Series to constitute assets of such Plan. A regulation issued under ERISA (the ERISA Regulation)
contains rules for determining when an investment by a Plan in an entity will result in the
underlying assets of such entity being considered assets of such Plan for purposes of ERISA and
Section 4975 of the Code (i.e., plan assets). Those rules provide that assets of an entity will
not be considered assets of a Plan which purchases an equity interest in the entity if certain
exceptions apply, including an exception applicable if the equity interest purchased is a
publicly-offered security (the Publicly-Offered Security Exception). Another exception that may
apply is the exception set forth in Section 3(42) of ERISA (the 25% Exception).
The Publicly-Offered Security Exception applies if the equity interest is a security that is
(1) freely transferable, (2) part of a class of securities that is widely held and (3) either
(a) part of a class of securities registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, or (b) sold to the Plan as part of a public offering pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 and the class of which such security is a
part is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 within 120 days (or such later time as
may be allowed by the SEC) after the end of the fiscal year of the issuer in which the offering of
such security occurred. The ERISA Regulation states that the determination of whether a security is
freely transferable is to be made based on all relevant facts and circumstances. The ERISA
Regulation specifies that, in the case of a security that is part of an offering in which the
minimum investment is $10,000 or less, the following requirements, alone or in combination,
ordinarily will not affect a finding that the security is freely transferable: (i) a requirement
that no transfer or assignment of the security or rights in respect thereof be made that would
violate any federal or state law; (ii) a requirement that no transfer or assignment be made without
advance written notice given to the entity that issued the security; and (iii) any restriction on
substitution of an assignee as a limited partner of a partnership, including a general partner
consent requirement, provided that the economic benefits of ownership of the assignor may be
transferred or assigned without regard to such restriction or consent (other than compliance with
any of the foregoing restrictions). Under the ERISA Regulation, a class of securities is widely
held only if it is of a class of securities owned by 100 or more investors independent of the
issuer and of each other. A class of securities will not fail to be widely held solely because
subsequent to the initial offering the number of independent investors falls below 100 as a result
of events beyond the issuers control.
61
The 25% Exception applies with respect to an entity if less than 25% of the total value of
each class of equity interests of the entity are held by benefit plan investors (determined by
not including the investments of persons with discretionary authority or control over the assets of
such entity, of any person who provides investment advice for a fee (direct or indirect) with
respect to such assets, and affiliates (as defined in the ERISA Regulation) of such persons;
provided, however, that under no circumstances are investments by benefit plan investors excluded
from such calculation). The term benefit plan investors includes all Plans (i.e., all employee
benefit plans as defined in and subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA and
all plans as defined in and subject to Section 4975 of the Code) and all entities that hold plan
assets (each, a Plan Assets Entity) due to investments made in such entities by already
described benefit plan investors. ERISA provides that a Plan Assets Entity is considered to hold
plan assets only to the extent of the percentage of the Plan Assets Entitys equity interests held
by benefit plan investors. In addition, all or a portion of an investment made by an insurance
company using assets from its general account may be treated as a benefit plan investor.
During such time, if any, that Units of a Series are held by more than 100 independent
investors, it is expected that the Publicly-Offered Security Exception should apply to such Units
pursuant to the rules described above.
First, the Units are part of a class of securities registered under Section 12(g) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Second, the minimum investment amount for initial and any
additional investments in the Fund is less than $10,000. Lastly, transfers may be made by any
investor merely by providing 30 days prior written notice to the General Partner, provided that if
the General Partner withholds consent, a transferee will not have any of the rights of an investor,
except that the transferee will be entitled to receive that share of capital or profits and to have
that right of redemption to which his transferor would have been entitled and will remain subject
to the other terms of the Partnership Agreement. Therefore, the General Partner believes that it is
reasonable to take the position that the Units are freely transferable within the meaning of the
ERISA Regulation. Accordingly, the General Partner believes that the underlying assets of the Fund
should not be considered to constitute assets of any Plan which purchases Units. This position has
not been confirmed by, and is not binding on, the Department of Labor, which issued the ERISA
Regulation and which has authority to issue opinion and information letters thereunder. Therefore,
the Plan Fiduciary and each other potential investor should consult with his or her attorney on
this matter.
During such time, as any, that the Publicly-Offered Security Exception does not apply to the
Units of a Series, as determined by the General Partner, the Fund intends to comply with the 25%
Exception with respect to such Series. This may require the Series to restrict investments by
benefit plan investors and to force redemptions of existing benefit plan investors in the event
that other investors redeem. Any such rejection of subscriptions or mandatory redemptions will be
effected in such manner as the General Partner, in its sole discretion, determines. In order to
enable the General Partner to monitor the level of investment by benefit plan investors for
purposes of the 25% Exception, each investor will be required to provide representations regarding
whether it is a benefit plan investor.
Ineligible Purchasers
In general, Units of a Series may not be purchased with the assets of a Plan if the General
Partner, HSBC Bank USA, ADMIS, BCI, MF Global, RCG, SS&C, any wholesaler, Superfund Asset
Management, Inc., Superfund USA, Inc., any additional selling agent, any of their respective
affiliates or any of their respective agents or employees: (i) has investment discretion with
respect to the investment of such plan assets; (ii) has authority or responsibility to give or
regularly gives investment advice with respect to such plan assets, for a fee, and pursuant to an
agreement or understanding that such advice will serve as a primary basis for investment decisions
with respect to such plan assets and that such advice will be based on the particular investment
needs of the Plan; or (iii) is an employer maintaining or contributing to such Plan, except as is
otherwise permissible under ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code. A party that is described in clause
(i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence is a fiduciary under ERISA and the Code with respect to the
Plan, and any such purchase might result in a prohibited transaction under ERISA and the Code.
Except as otherwise set forth, the foregoing statements regarding the consequences under ERISA
and the Code of an investment in a Series are based on the provisions of the Code and ERISA as
currently in effect, and the
62
existing administrative and judicial interpretations thereunder. No assurance can be given
that administrative, judicial or legislative changes will not occur that may make the foregoing
statements incorrect or incomplete.
Acceptance of subscriptions on behalf of Plans is in no respect a representation by the Fund,
the General Partner, Superfund USA, Inc., any additional selling agent or any other party related
to the Fund that this investment meets some or all of the relevant legal requirements with respect
to investments by any particular Plan or that this investment is appropriate for any particular
Plan. The person with investment discretion should consult with his or her financial and legal
advisors as to the propriety of an investment in a Series in light of the circumstances of the
particular Plan, ERISA and current tax law.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Subscription Procedure
The Units are offered on a best efforts basis without any firm underwriting commitment
through selling agents, which serve as underwriters, that are registered as broker-dealers and
members of FINRA, including, but not limited to, Superfund USA, Inc. Units are offered at their net
asset value as of the last business day of each calendar month. The minimum initial investment in a
Series is $5,000. Larger subscriptions are permitted in $100 increments. Additional subscriptions
by existing investors in a Series will be permitted in $1,000 minimums with $100 increments. Units
are sold in fractions calculated up to three decimal places.
In order to purchase Units, an investor must complete, sign and deliver to his or her selling
agent an original of the Subscription Agreement and Suitability Requirements Form which accompanies
this Prospectus, together with a check in the amount of the subscription. Checks should be made
payable to Superfund Gold, L.P. Series A Escrow Account or Superfund Gold, L.P. Series B
Escrow Account, as applicable. Subscription proceeds are required to be promptly transmitted to
the Funds escrow agent, HSBC Bank USA, New York, New York (the Escrow Agent), which maintains a
non-interest bearing escrow account for each Series. Alternatively, subscription funds may be sent
by wire transfer directly to the Escrow Agent pursuant to the instructions in the Subscription
Agreement. There are no fees applicable to subscriptions held in escrow pending investment in the
Series trading accounts.
Clients of certain selling agents may make subscription payments by authorizing their selling
agent to debit their customer securities account for the amount of the subscription. When a
subscriber authorizes such a debit, the subscriber will be required to have the amount of his or
her subscription payment on deposit in his or her account on a settlement date specified by such
selling agent. The selling agent will debit the account and transmit the debited funds directly to
the appropriate Series escrow account via check or wire transfer. The settlement date specified by
such selling agents shall be no later than the applicable month-end closing date.
Investors must submit subscriptions at least five (5) business days prior to the applicable
month-end closing date and may be accepted once payments are received and cleared. Subscriptions
are final and binding on a subscriber as of the close of business on the fifth business day
following the submission of the subscribers Subscription Agreement to subscribers selling agent.
Pursuant to an addendum to the Subscription Agreement, investors may subscribe for Units and
receive them, and pay for them, in equal installments over a period of time to achieve an average
price for the Units acquired; provided, however, that no Units will be issued until such Units have
been fully paid for by the investor.
The General Partner will determine, in its sole discretion, whether to accept or reject a
subscription, in whole or in part. The General Partner will make its determination within five (5)
business days of receipt of a subscription. The General Partner will notify investors of, and will
return, rejected subscriptions within five (5) business days following the end of the month in
which the subscription was rejected, or sooner if practicable. The selling agents will confirm
sales to their customers generally within five (5) business days of the month-end closing date, and
investors will thereafter receive monthly account statements from the Fund. The General Partner
will make every reasonable effort to determine the suitability of prospective investors through
information received on the Subscription Agreement.
63
The General Partner and each person selling Units on behalf of the Fund may not complete a
sale of the Units to prospective investors until at least five (5) business days after the date the
prospective investor receives a final prospectus. This Prospectus is a final prospectus.
The Selling Agents
Within each Series, Units are issued in two Sub-Series. Series A-1 Units and Series B-1 Units
are subject to the selling commissions described below.
Series A and Series B will pay Superfund USA, Inc., which serves as an underwriter, a selling
commission of up to 10% of the gross offering proceeds of the Units by paying 2% of the average
month-end net asset value of each outstanding Series A-1 Unit and Series B-1 Unit, respectively, in
monthly installments of 1/12 of 2% of the month-end net asset value of such Units (the liability
for which will be allocated to the Series A-1 Units and Series B-1 Units, not the Series A-2 and
Series B-2 Units). However, pursuant to FINRA Rule 2310 pertaining to maximum allowable selling
commissions, the maximum cumulative selling commission per Unit is 10% of the gross offering
proceeds for such Unit. See Charges Sales Compensation.
Series A-2 Units and Series B-2 Units are not subject to selling commissions but are available
only to: (i) investors participating in selling agent asset-based or fixed-fee investment programs
or a registered investment advisers asset-based fee or fixed fee advisory program through which an
investment adviser recommends a portfolio allocation to the Fund and for which Superfund USA, Inc.
serves as selling agent, (ii) investors who purchased the Units through Superfund USA, Inc. or an
affiliated broker and who are commodity pools operated by commodity pool operators registered as
such with the NFA, and (iii) investors who have paid the maximum selling commission on their Series
A-1 or Series B-1 Units (by redesignation of such Units as Series A-2 Units or Series B-2 Units as
described herein). The General Partner, not the Series or any Limited Partner, may pay certain
broker-dealers a custodial fee of up to 0.50% of the average annual net asset value of the
outstanding Series A-2 Units and Series B-2 Units sold by such broker-dealers or through such
broker-dealers investment fund platforms. No custodial fees are paid in connection with Units
redesignated as Series A-2 or Series B-2 as described below.
Once a Series A-1 Unit or Series B-1 Unit has been charged selling commissions totaling 10% of
the gross offering proceeds of such Unit, the Unit will not be charged any further selling
commissions and the net asset value of such Unit will be recalculated, and the Unit will be
redesignated, in terms of Series A-2 Units or Series B-2 Units, as applicable, against which
selling commissions are not charged. The redesignation of Series A-1 Units to Series A-2 or Series
B-1 Units to Series B-2 Units will have no impact on the net asset value of an investors
investment in the Fund at the time of such redesignation. Series A-1 Units and Series B-1 Units
that are redeemed prior to such redesignation will have paid a selling commission of less than 10%
of the gross offering proceeds of the Units while such Units were held.
The General Partner and Superfund USA, Inc. may retain additional selling agents, which also
serve as underwriters, to assist with the placement of the Units. Superfund USA, Inc. will pay all
or a portion of the annual selling commission it receives in respect of the Units sold by the
additional selling agents to the additional selling agents effecting the sales.
Aggregate selling commissions paid to Superfund USA, Inc. and additional selling agents shall
not exceed 10% of the gross offering proceeds of the Units sold (maximum of $17,303,547.50 in
respect of the $173,035,475 in Units offered pursuant to this Prospectus).
The selling agents will determine the suitability of prospective investors in the Fund,
pursuant to FINRA Rule 2310, based upon information contained in the Subscription Agreement and
Suitability Requirements Form as well as documents furnished to the selling agents by their
customers in opening accounts.
No selling agent shall make an investment in the Fund on behalf of a client for which it has
discretionary trading authority without prior written approval of the investment by the client.
64
The selling agents will use their best efforts to sell the Units offered but are not required
to sell any particular number of Units. The Units are also offered through Superfund USA, Inc., to
potential investors on a special internet website, (http://www.superfund.net), maintained
by Superfund USA, Inc.
Other than as described above, no person will pay any commissions or other compensation in
connection with the solicitation of purchases of Units.

General Partner by broker-dealers will be paid by the General Partner without reimbursement by the
Fund.
CERTAIN LEGAL MATTERS
Sidley Austin LLP, Chicago, IL, served as legal counsel to the General Partner in connection
with the preparation of this Prospectus. Sidley Austin LLP may continue to serve in such capacity
in the future, but has not assumed any obligation to update this Prospectus. Sidley Austin LLP may
advise the General Partner in matters relating to the operation of the Fund on an ongoing basis.

either Series in the course of the organization of the Fund, the negotiation of its business terms,
the offering of the Units or in respect of its ongoing operations. Prospective investors must
recognize that, as they have had no representation in the organization process, the terms of the
Fund relating to themselves and the Units have not been negotiated at arms length.
Sidley Austin LLPs engagement by the General Partner in respect of the Fund is limited to the
specific matters as to which it is consulted by the General Partner and, therefore, there may exist
facts or circumstances which could have a bearing on the Funds or a Series (or the General
Partners) financial condition or operations with respect to which Sidley Austin LLP has not been
consulted and for which Sidley Austin LLP expressly disclaims any responsibility. More
specifically, Sidley Austin LLP does not undertake to monitor the compliance of the General Partner

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Partners of Superfund Gold, L.P. Series A and Superfund Gold, L.P. Series B:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Superfund Gold, L.P.,
Superfund Gold, L.P. Series A and Superfund Gold, L.P. Series B (the Funds), including the
condensed schedules of investments, as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of
operations, changes in net assets, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2010 and for the
period from April 1, 2009 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2009. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Funds management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The
Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control
over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Superfund Gold, L.P., Superfund Gold Series A and
Superfund Gold Series B as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and
their cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2010 and for the period from April 1, 2009
(commencement of operations) through December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

SUPERFUND GOLD, L.P., SUPERFUND GOLD, L.P. SERIES A and SUPERFUND GOLD, L.P. SERIES B
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2010
|
(1) |
|
Nature of Operations |
|
|
|
|
|
Organization and Business |
|
|
|
|
Superfund Gold, L.P., a Delaware Limited Partnership (the Fund), commenced operations on
April 1, 2009. The Fund was organized to trade speculatively in the United States and
international commodity futures and forwards markets using a strategy developed by Superfund
Capital Management, Inc., the general partner and trading advisor of the Fund (Superfund
Capital Management). The Fund has issued two series of units of limited partnership interest
(Units), each with a subseries, Series A-1/A-2 and Series B-1/B-2 (each a Series). Series
A-1/A-2 and Series B-1/B-2 are traded and managed the same way, with the exception of the
degree of leverage. |
|
|
|
The term of the Fund commenced on the day on which the Certificate of Limited Partnership was
filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware pursuant to the provisions of the
Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act and shall end upon the first to occur of the
following: (i) receipt by Superfund Capital Management of an approval to dissolve the Fund at
a specified time by Limited Partners owning Units representing more than fifty percent (50%) of
the outstanding Units of each Series then owned by Limited Partners of each Series, notice of
which is sent by certified mail return receipt requested to Superfund Capital Management not
less than 90 days prior to the effective date of such dissolution; (ii) withdrawal, insolvency
or dissolution of Superfund Capital Management or any other event that causes Superfund Capital
Management to cease to be the general partner of the Fund, unless (a) at the time of each event
there is at least one remaining general partner of the Fund who carries on the business of the
Fund (and each remaining general partner of the Fund is hereby authorized to carry on the
business of general partner of the Fund in such an event), or (b) within 120 days after such
event Limited Partners of a Series holding a majority of Units of such Series agree in writing
to continue the business of the Fund and such Series and to the appointment, effective as of
the date of such event, of one or more general partners of the Fund and such Series; (iii) a
decline in the aggregate net assets of each Series to less than $500,000 at any time following
commencement of trading in the Series; or (iv) any other event which shall make it unlawful for
the existence of the Fund to be continued or which requires termination of the Fund. |
|
|
(2) |
|
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies |
|
|
|
(a) |
|
Basis of Presentation |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC),
audited financial statements are presented for the Fund as a whole, as the SEC
registrant, and for Series A and Series B individually. For the avoidance of doubt, the
debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise
existing with respect to a particular Series shall be enforceable only against the
assets of such Series and not against the assets of the Fund generally or any other
Series. Accordingly, the assets of one Series of the Fund include only those funds and
other assets that are paid to, held by or distributed to the Fund on account of and for
the benefit of that Series, including, without limitation, funds delivered to the Fund
for the purchase of Units in that Series. |
|
|
|
|
(b) |
|
Valuation of Investments in Futures Contracts, Forward Contracts, and U.S Treasury Bills |
|
|
|
|
|
|
All commodity interests (including derivative financial instruments and derivative
commodity instruments) are used for trading purposes. The commodity interests are recorded
on a trade date basis and open contracts are recorded in the statements of assets and
liabilities at fair value on the last business day of the period, which represents market
value for those commodity interests for which market quotes are readily available.
Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at settlement prices published by the
recognized exchange. Any spot and forward foreign currency contracts held by the Fund will
be valued at published settlement prices or at dealers quotes. The Fund uses the
amortized cost method for valuing U.S. Treasury Bills due to the short-term nature of such
instruments; accordingly, the cost of securities plus accreted discount, or minus amortized
premium, approximates fair value (See Section (2)(g) Fair Value Measurements). |
|
|
|
|
(c) |
|
Translation of Foreign Currency |
|
|
|
|
|
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar
amounts at the period end exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investments, and income
and expenses that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar
amounts on the transaction date. Adjustments arising from foreign currency transactions are
reflected in the statements of operations. |
|
|
|
|
The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from the effect
of changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations from changes in
market prices of investments held. Such fluctuations are included in net gain (loss) on
investments in the statements of operations. |
87
|
|
(d) |
|
Investment Transactions, Investment Income, and Expenses |
|
|
|
|
|
Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Interest income and
expenses are recognized on the accrual basis. |
|
|
|
|
|
Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated. Unrealized gains and losses on
open contracts (the difference between contract trade price and market price) are reported
in the statements of financial condition as a net gain or loss, as there exists a right of
offset of unrealized gains or losses in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 210-20, Offsetting Balance
Sheet. |
|
|
|
|
(e) |
|
Income Taxes |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Fund does not record a provision for U.S. income taxes because the partners report
their share of the Funds income or loss on their returns. The financial statements
reflect the Funds transactions without adjustment, if any, required for income tax
purposes. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Superfund Capital Management has evaluated the application of ASC 740, Income Taxes (ASC
740) to the Fund, to determine whether or not there are uncertain tax positions that
require financial statement recognition. Based on this evaluation, the Fund has determined
no reserves for uncertain tax position are required to be recorded as a result of the
application of ASC 740. The Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is
reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change
materially in the next twelve months. As a result, no income tax liability or expense has
been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. The Fund files federal and various
state tax returns. The 2008 through 2010 tax years generally remain subject to examination
by the U.S. federal and most state tax authorities. |
|
|
|
|
(f) |
|
Use of Estimates |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires Superfund
Capital Management 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 increases and decreases in net assets
from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. |

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements |
|
|
|
|
|
|
ASU 2010-06 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
In January 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 (ASU 2010-06),
Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, which, among other things, amends ASC
820, Fair Value Measurements, to require entities to separately present purchases, sales,
issuances, and settlements in their reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements (i.e.
to present such items as gross basis rather than on a net basis), and which clarifies
existing disclosure requirements provided by ASC 820 regarding the level of disaggregation
and the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for measurements that
fall within either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. ASU 2010-06 is effective
for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the
disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of
activity in Level 3 fair value measurements (which are effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years). The Fund has
adopted ASU 2010-06 effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The
adoption of ASU 2010-06 did not have any impact on the Funds results of operations,
financial condition or cash flows, as the Fund has not had any transfers in or out of Level
1 or 2 categories, nor does it hold Level 3 assets or liabilities. The Fund does not
anticipate the amendments effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 to
have an impact on the Funds results of operations, financial condition or cash flows since
the ASU impacts disclosure items only. |
|
|
|
|
(h) |
|
Fair Value Measurements |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Fund follows ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820). ASC 820
establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used
to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest
priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value
hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below: |
|
88
|
|
|
Level 1
|
|
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at
the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or
liabilities. |
|
|
|
Level 2
|
|
Quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active or
financial instruments for which all significant inputs are
observable, either directly or indirectly. |
|
|
|
Level 3
|
|
Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant
to the fair value measurement and unobservable. |
|
|
A financial instruments level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level
of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. In determining fair value,
the Fund separates its financial instruments into two categories: U.S. government
securities and derivative contracts. |
|
|
U.S. Government Securities. The Funds only market exposure in instruments held other than
for trading is in its U.S. Treasury Bill portfolio. As the Fund uses the amortized cost
method for valuing its U.S. Treasury Bill portfolio, which approximates fair value, this
portfolio is classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. |
|
|
Derivative Contracts. Derivative contracts can be exchange-traded or over-the-counter
(OTC). Exchange-traded derivatives typically fall within level 1 or level 2 of the fair
value hierarchy depending on whether they are deemed to be actively traded or not. The Fund
has exposure to exchange-traded derivative contracts through the Funds trading of
exchange-traded futures contracts. The Funds exchange-traded futures contract positions
are valued daily at settlement prices published by the applicable exchanges. In such
cases, provided they are deemed to be actively traded, exchange-traded derivatives are
classified within level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Less actively traded
exchange-traded derivatives fall within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. |
|
|
OTC derivatives are valued using market transactions and other market evidence whenever
possible, including market-based inputs to models, model calibration to market-clearing
transactions, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable
levels of price transparency. Where models are used, the selection of a particular model to
value an OTC derivative depends upon the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent
in, the instrument as well as the availability of pricing information in the market. For
OTC derivatives that trade in liquid markets, such as generic forwards and swaps, model
inputs can generally be verified and model selection does not involve significant
management judgment. The OTC derivatives held by the Fund may include forwards and swaps.
Spot and forward foreign currency contracts held by the Fund are valued at published daily
settlement prices or at dealers quotes. The Funds forward positions are typically
classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. |
|
|
Certain OTC derivatives traded in less liquid markets with limited pricing information, and
the determination of fair value for these derivatives is inherently more difficult. Such
instruments are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Where the Fund does
not have corroborating market evidence to support significant model inputs and cannot
verify the model to market transactions, transaction price is initially used as the best
estimate of fair value. Accordingly, when a pricing model is used to value such an
instrument, the model is adjusted so that the model value at inception equals the
transaction price. The valuations of these less liquid OTC derivatives are typically based
on level 1 and/or level 2 inputs that can be observed in the market, as well as
unobservable level 3 inputs. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Fund updates the level
1 and level 2 inputs to reflect observable market changes, with resulting gains and losses
reflected within level 3. Level 3 inputs are only changed when corroborated by evidence
such as similar market transactions, third-party pricing services and/or broker or dealer
quotations, or other empirical market data. In circumstances where the Fund cannot verify
the model value to market transactions, it is possible that a different valuation model
could produce a materially different estimate of fair value. The Fund attempts to avoid
holding less liquid OTC derivatives. However, once held, the market for any particular
derivative contract could become less liquid during the holding period. |
|
|
As of and during the year ended December 31, 2010 and for the period from April 1, 2009
(commencement of operations) through December 31, 2009, the Fund held no derivative
contracts valued using level 3 inputs. |

Disclosure of derivative instruments and hedging activities |
|
|
The Fund follows ASC 815, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (ASC
815). ASC 815 is intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by
requiring enhanced disclosure that enables investors to understand how and why an entity uses
derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect an
entitys results of operations and financial position. |
|
|
Derivative instruments held by the Fund do not qualify as derivative instruments held as
hedging instruments, as defined in ASC 815. Instead, the Fund includes derivative instruments
in its trading activity. Per the requirements of ASC 815, the Fund discloses the gains and
losses on its trading activities for both derivative and nonderivative instruments in the
Statement of Operations for each Series. |
|
|
The Fund engages in the speculative trading of forward contracts in currency and futures
contracts in a wide range of commodities, including equity markets, interest rates, food and
fiber, energy, livestock and metals. ASC 815 requires entities to recognize all |
91
|
|
derivatives
instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the statement of financial
position. Investments in forward contracts and commodity futures contracts are recorded in the
Statements of Assets and Liabilities as unrealized appreciation or
depreciation on open forward contracts and futures contracts purchased and futures contracts
sold. Since the derivatives held or sold by the Fund are for speculative trading purposes, the
derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments under the provisions of ASC
815. Accordingly, all realized gains and losses, as well as any change in net unrealized gains
or losses on open positions from the preceding period, are recognized as part of the Funds
trading profits and losses in the Statements of Operations. |
|
|
Superfund Capital Management believes futures and forward trading activity expressed as a
percentage of net assets is indicative of trading activity. Information concerning the fair
value of the Funds derivatives held long or sold short, as well as information related to the
annual average volume of the Funds derivative activity, is as follows: |
|
|
The fair value of the Funds derivatives by instrument type, as well as the location of those
instruments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, as of December 31, 2010, is as follows: |

Due from/to Brokers |
|
|
|
|
|
Due from brokers consist of proceeds from securities sold. Amounts due from brokers may be
restricted to the extent that they serve as deposits for securities sold short. Amounts due to
brokers represent margin borrowings that are collateralized by certain securities. As of
December 31, 2010, there were no amounts due to brokers. |
|
|
|
|
In the normal course of business, all of the Funds marketable securities transactions, money
balances and marketable security positions are transacted with brokers. The Fund is subject to
credit risk to the extent any broker with whom it conducts business is unable to fulfill
contractual obligations on its behalf. Superfund Capital Management monitors the financial
condition of such brokers and does not anticipate any losses from these counterparties. |

commission in the Statements of Operations. However, the maximum cumulative selling commission
per Unit is limited to 10% of the gross offering proceeds of such Unit. |

Financial Instrument Risk |
|
|
|
|
In the normal course of its business, the Fund is party to financial instruments with
off-balance sheet risk, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity
instruments. 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 a future obligation or
loss. These financial instruments may include forwards, futures and options, whose values are
based upon an underlying asset, index or reference rate, and generally represent future
commitments to exchange currencies or cash flows, to purchase or sell other financial
instruments at specific terms at specific future dates, or, in the case of derivative commodity
instruments, to have a reasonable possibility to be settled in cash, through physical delivery
or with another financial instrument. These instruments may be traded on an exchange or OTC.
Exchange traded instruments are standardized and include futures and certain option contracts.
OTC contracts are negotiated between contracting parties and include forwards and certain
options. Each of these instruments is subject to various risks similar to those related to the
underlying financial instruments including market and credit risk. In general, the risks
associated with OTC contracts are greater than those associated with exchange traded
instruments because of the greater risk of default by the counterparty to an OTC contract. |
|
|
|
|
|
For the Fund, gross unrealized gains and losses related to exchange traded futures were
$3,049,552 and $566,436, respectively, and gross unrealized gains and losses related to
non-exchange traded forwards were $224,586 and $36,461, respectively, at December 31, 2010. |
|
|
|
|
|
For Series A, gross unrealized gains and losses related to exchange traded futures were
$1,361,691 and $233,589, respectively, and gross unrealized gains and losses related to
non-exchange traded forwards were $95,755 and $13,857, respectively, at December 31, 2010. |
|
|
|
|
|
For Series B, gross unrealized gains and losses related to exchange traded futures were
$1,687,861 and $332,847, respectively, and gross unrealized gains and losses related to
non-exchange traded forwards were $128,831 and $22,604, respectively, at December 31, 2010. |
|
|
|
|
Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial instruments traded by
the Fund due to market changes, including interest and foreign exchange rate movements and
fluctuations in commodity prices. In entering into these contracts, there exists a market risk
that such contracts may be significantly influenced by conditions, such as interest rate
volatility, resulting in such contracts being less valuable. If the markets should move against
all of the futures interest positions at the same time, and Superfund Capital Management is
unable to offset such positions, the Fund could experience substantial losses. |
|
|
|
|
Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may occur due to the failure of a counterparty to
perform according to the terms of a contract. Credit risk with respect to exchange-traded
instruments is reduced to the extent that an exchange or clearing organization acts as a
counterparty to the transactions. The Funds risk of loss in the event of counterparty default
is typically limited to the amounts recognized in the statements of assets and liabilities and
not represented by the contract or notional amounts of the instruments. As the Funds assets
are held in segregated accounts with futures commission merchants, the Fund has credit risk and
concentration risk. The Funds futures commission merchants are currently ADM Investor
Services, Inc., Barclays Capital Inc., MF Global Inc. and Rosenthal Collins Group, L.L.C. |

Superfund Capital Management monitors and controls the Funds risk exposure on a daily basis
through financial, credit and risk management monitoring systems, and accordingly believes that
it has effective procedures for evaluating and limiting the credit and market risks to which
the Fund is subject. These monitoring systems allow Superfund Capital Management to
statistically analyze actual trading results with risk adjusted performance indicators and
correlation statistics. In addition, on-line monitoring |
106
|
|
systems provide account analysis of
futures and forward positions by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions, and
collateral positions.
The majority of these instruments mature within one year of December 31, 2010. However, due to
the nature of the Funds business, these instruments may not be held to maturity. |

|
Subscriptions and Redemptions |
|
|
|
Investors must submit subscriptions at least five business days prior to the applicable
month-end closing date and they will be accepted once payments are received and cleared. All
subscription funds are required to be promptly transmitted to the escrow agent, HSBC Bank USA.
Subscriptions must be accepted or rejected by Superfund Capital Management within five business
days of receipt, and the settlement date for the deposit of subscription funds in escrow must
be within five business days of acceptance. No fees or costs will be assessed on any
subscription while held in escrow, irrespective of whether the subscription is accepted or the
subscription funds are returned. |
|
|
|
A limited partner of a Series (Limited Partner) may request any or all of his investment in
such Series be redeemed by such Series at the net asset value of a Unit within such Series as
of the end of each month, subject to a minimum redemption of $1,000 and subject further to such
Limited Partner having an investment in such Series, after giving effect to the requested
redemption, at least equal to the minimum initial investment amount of $5,000. Limited Partners
must transmit a written request of such withdrawal to Superfund Capital Management not less
than five business days prior to the end of the month (or such shorter period as permitted by
Superfund Capital Management) as of which redemption is to be effective. Redemptions will
generally be paid within twenty days after the date of redemption. However, in special
circumstances, including, but not limited to, inability to liquidate dealers positions as of a
redemption date or default or delay in payments due to each Series from clearing brokers, banks
or other persons or entities, each Series may in turn delay payment to persons requesting
redemption of the proportionate part of the net assets of each Series represented by the sums
that are the subject of such default or delay. In the event that the estimated net asset value
per Unit of a Series, or sub-Series thereof, after adjustments for distributions, as of the
close of business on any business day is less than 50% of the net asset value per Unit of such
Series, or sub-Series thereof, as of the most recent month-end, a special redemption period
shall be established. In the event of a special redemption, Superfund Capital Management shall
notify Limited Partners within such Series within seven business days thereafter and shall
liquidate all open positions with respect to such Series as expeditiously as possible and
suspend trading. Within ten business days after the date of suspension of trading, Superfund
Capital Management shall declare a date (a Special Redemption Date) with respect to such
Series. Such Special Redemption Date shall be a business day within 30 business days from the
date of suspension of trading by such Series, and Superfund Capital Management shall mail
notice of such date to each Limited Partner of such Series and assignee of Units within such
Series of whom it has received written notice, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, not later
than ten business days prior to such Special Redemption Date, together with instructions as to
the procedure such Limited Partner or assignee must follow to have his interest in such Series
redeemed on such date (only entire, not partial, interests may be so redeemed unless otherwise
determined by Superfund Capital Management). Upon redemption pursuant to a Special Redemption
Date, a Limited Partner or any other assignee of whom the General Partner has received written
notice as described above, shall receive from the applicable Series an amount equal to the Net
Asset Value of his interest in such Series, determined as of the close of business (as
determined by the General Partner) on such Special Redemption Date. The details of the special
redemption are set forth in Section 12 of the Limited Partnership Agreement. |

subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. |

December 31, 2010
(1) General Information and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
|
|
Superfund Capital Management Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in Grenada, West Indies, in
March 2001. The Companys business is the trading and management of discretionary futures
trading accounts, including commodity pools which are domiciled in the United States of America.
The Company presently serves as commodity pool operator for Superfund Green, L.P. (Superfund
Green) (formerly Quadriga Superfund, L.P.) and Superfund Gold, L.P. (Superfund Gold). In
2010, the Company also became an investment advisor for Superfund Blue Master SPC, Superfund
Blue SPC, Superfund Garant SPC, Superfund Green Master SPC, Superfund Green SPC, Superfund Green
Euro SPC, Superfund Green Gold Master SPC, Superfund Green Gold SPC, Superfund HF SPC, Superfund
Red SPC, Superfund Red Master SPC, and Superfund Diversified Notes SPC. The Company has no
investment in the above mentioned SPCs. The Company is wholly owned by one shareholder. |
|
|
A summary of the significant accounting policies which have been followed in preparing the
accompanying statement of financial condition is set forth below: |
|
|
|
Use of Estimates |
|
|
The accompanying statement of financial condition has been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The
preparation of the statement of financial condition in conformity with GAAP requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the statement of financial
condition. Actual amounts could differ from such estimates. |
|
|
|
Cash |
|
|
Cash consists of cash on hand and balances held at banks. |
|
|
|
Investment in Affiliated Limited Partnerships |
|
|
The Company has invested in Superfund Green, L.P. Series A and Superfund Green, L.P. Series
B, Delaware limited partnerships, organized to trade speculatively in the United States of
America and international commodity equity markets using a strategy developed by the Company.
The Companys investment in Superfund Green, L.P. Series A and Superfund Green, L.P. Series
B is recorded based upon the equity method of accounting. |
|
|
The Company has invested in Superfund Gold, L.P. Series A and Superfund Gold, L.P. Series
B, Delaware limited partnerships, organized to trade speculatively in the United States of
America and international commodity equity markets using a strategy developed by the Company.

SUPERFUND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC.
Notes to Statement of Financial Condition (Continued)
December 31, 2010
|
|
|
Fixed assets are stated net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated utilizing
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from one to
three years. |
|
|
|
The Company is incorporated and operates in Grenada, West Indies, which does not have corporate
income taxes. Additionally, the Company has no income or loss that is effectively connected to
trade or business carried on in the United States of America, and services are performed outside
the United States. Therefore, the Company was not subject to income tax for the year ended
December 31, 2010. |
|
|
The Company has evaluated the application of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740,
Income Taxes (ASC 740) to its statement of financial condition, and has determined whether or
not there are uncertain tax positions that require financial statement recognition. Based on
this evaluation, the Company has determined no reserves for uncertain tax position are required
to be recorded as a result of the application of ASC 740. As a result, no income tax liability
has been recorded in the accompanying statement of financial condition. |
|
|
The Companys functional as well as the reporting
currency, is the U.S. dollar (USD). This is due to
the fact that the Companys major business is carried out in USD and most of its income
and expenditure are generated in USD. In addition to maintaining a bank account in
USD, the Company also has two cash accounts denominated in foreign currencies (Eastern
Caribbean dollars and Euros) used for various operating expenses. Transactions denominated in
these foreign currencies are translated to USD as follows: the current exchange rate
is used when translating transactions based in Euros to USD and a fixed currency
exchange rate of 2.6882 when translating transactions based in Eastern Caribbean dollar to
USD. Management believes that such exchange rate of the Eastern Caribbean dollar
approximates the average exchange rate throughout 2010. At initial recording any receivable or
payable is recognized by translating the foreign currency into USD using the foreign exchange
rate at the given date. At the end of the reporting period all financial assets and liabilities
are translated using the year-end foreign exchange rate, and any gain or loss resulting from a
change in the foreign exchange rate between the date of recognition and year-end is recognized
as a gain or loss. |
|
|
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements |
|
|
|
Consolidation (ASC Topic 810) |
|
|
|
|
|
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards
Update (ASU) No. 2009-17, Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with
Variable Interest Entities (ASU 2009-17), which amended the consolidation guidance for
Variable Interest Entities |
|
PURCHASERS OF UNITS WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY INTEREST IN THIS ENTITY.
111
SUPERFUND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC.
Notes to Statement of Financial Condition (Continued)
December 31, 2010
|
|
(VIEs). Primarily, the quantitative analysis previously required under the ASC 810 was
eliminated and replaced with a qualitative approach for identifying the variable interest that
has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance
of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive returns that could
potentially be significant to the VIE. In addition, variable interest holders are required to
perform an ongoing reassessment of the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Upon adoption of ASU
2009-17, an entity was required to reconsider prior consolidation assessments for VIEs in which
the entity continues to hold a variable interest. |
|
|
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-10, Amendments to Certain Investment Funds
(ASU 2010-10), which deferred application of the guidance in ASU 2009-17 for reporting
entities with interest in an entity for which it is industry practice to apply measurement
principles for financial reporting purposes that are consistent with those followed by
investment companies, provided that the reporting entity does not have an explicit or implicit
obligation to fund actual losses that potentially could be significant to the legal entity. |
|
|
Effective January 1, 2010, the Company adopted the amendments in ASU 2009-17 and ASU 2010-10,
and determined that although the Company has an equity interest in both Superfund Green, L.P.
and Superfund Gold, L.P. for which the Company serves as a general partner, the Company does not
have an obligation to fund any losses attributable to these funds, and therefore qualifies for
the deferral under ASU 2010-10. The Company has therefore deferred adoption of ASU 2009-17.
Consistent with the Companys past analysis, the Company concludes that Superfund Green, L.P.
and Superfund Gold, L.P. are not VIEs, and the Company is not required to consolidate the assets
and liabilities of these partnerships with its own financial statements. The Company has not
yet completed its assessment of the effect, if any, that the lapsing of the deferral period
might have on the Companys financial condition. |

PART TWO STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
STRATEGY
Superfund Gold, L.P. has been designed primarily for investors desiring to invest a portion of
their assets in a trading and investment strategy that has exhibited a relatively low correlation
to equity and debt securities, as well as in currency independent investments linked to gold. The
investment objective of the Series is capital appreciation over time by trading and investing, on
the basis of technical analysis, in a portfolio of futures and forward contracts on stock indices,
currencies, bonds, grains, energies, metals (including gold), agricultural markets and livestock.
The net asset value of each Series, which is denominated in U.S. dollars, is intended to be
de-linked from the value of the U.S. dollar through the maintenance by each Series of a dollar for
dollar investment in gold, adjusted as of the beginning of each month, primarily through the use of
gold futures and forward contracts, essentially denominating the Series in terms of gold. It is
thus expected that the total return of each Series will reflect, in addition to the trading results
of the General Partners trading strategy, variations in the U.S. dollar price of a gold position
approximately equal to the net asset value of such Series (expressed in U.S. dollars). Investors
attention is drawn to the fact that each Series gold position is adjusted only monthly and, if
gold futures margin requirements should increase substantially, may be reduced below the equivalent
of such Series net asset value (expressed in U.S. dollars) as of the beginning of each month.
Thus, there can be no assurance that the returns of a Series will reflect variations in the U.S.
dollar price of a gold position equal to the net asset value of the Series (expressed in U.S.
dollars) at any given time.
Market Diversification
The General Partner and its affiliates (collectively, Superfund) use a proprietary
systematic approach to trading a portfolio of futures and forward contracts that has historically
exhibited low correlation to traditional equity and debt investments. The spectrum of instruments
traded globally consists of more than 120 futures and forward markets in both commodity and
financial futures and currency forwards, although trading does not occur in all markets at all
times. Superfunds trading style emphasizes low correlation between different instruments traded
and high liquidity for order execution.
Variety of Markets Traded
The above chart is only an indication of the variety of markets traded or that may be
traded by Superfund and is not indicative of relative allocations among these markets. The actual
allocations among these markets change over time due to market conditions, as well as liquidity,
volatility and risk considerations.
117
On February 28, 2011, the approximate market sector allocations of the General Partners
futures and forward trading strategy to be traded on behalf of the Series, based on amounts
committed as margin collateral, were as follows: stock indices, 23%; currencies, 28%; bonds, 12%;
interest rates, 10%; energies, 18%; metals, 7%; agricultural markets, 2%.
Technical Trading System
Positions are initiated using a proprietary technical algorithm that generally attempts to
identify developing price trends in their early stages. Most systematic trend following systems
employ technical indicators such as moving averages or Bollinger bands to identify trending
markets. The Superfund trading strategy is based on the premise that the key to using such
indicators successfully lies in the way they are interrelated and applied in combination.
As of July 1, 2010, the General Partner integrated a systematic, technical short-term trading
strategy into Superfund Gold, L.P.s primary trend-following methodology. This short-term strategy
seeks trading opportunities arising out of short term changes in futures and forward market prices,
with trades lasting from less than a day to more than a week, and has exhibited low correlation to
the trend-following methodology historically utilized by Superfund Gold, L.P.
Risk Management
Risk management plays a key role in the Superfund investment strategy. The proprietary program
limits initial risk per trade to a theoretical maximum of 1.5 percent of total Series assets. In
addition, the system continuously screens volatility and adjusts portfolio exposure accordingly.
WHY SUPERFUND?
Why A Managed Futures Fund?
Managed futures investments are intended to generate medium to long-term capital growth and
provide global portfolio diversification. A primary reason to invest in a managed futures product,
such as Superfund Gold, L.P., is to provide a non-correlated investment to a portfolio of
traditional stock and bond investments that has the potential to improve returns and lower the
portfolios volatility. This is possible because managed futures products historically have not
been correlated to traditional markets, such as stocks and bonds.
Why Superfund?
The Superfund trading strategy has a track record of positive performance over the past twelve
years. The funds trade more than 120 futures markets worldwide, although not in all markets at all
times, using a proprietary trading system. Funds utilizing the Superfund proprietary trading system
have a demonstrable record of non-correlation to traditional investments and have often produced
positive returns during difficult markets for stocks and bonds. The past performance of these
Superfund funds is not, however, necessarily indicative of the future results of Superfund Gold,
L.P.
Why Now?
Stock market performance during this decade has demonstrated that long-only equity portfolios
generally do not make money during downward cycles. For continued portfolio performance, it is
potentially advantageous for investors to own investments that have the potential to appreciate in
any economic environment.
Why Gold?
As discussed below under Investment Considerations, gold has historically been viewed as a
hedge against insecurity, inflation and a fluctuating dollar. As a result, gold has been attractive
to investors as a means of providing a safe haven in troubled times.
118
Historical Non-Correlated Performance
Historically, managed futures investments have had very little correlation to the stock and
bond markets. While there is no guarantee of positive performance in a managed futures component of
a portfolio, the non-correlation characteristic of managed futures can improve risk adjusted
returns in a diversified investment portfolio. Having the ability to go long and short provides
managed futures the opportunity to make potentially profitable trades in both up or down markets.
In other words, profit or loss in managed futures funds is not necessarily dependent on economic
cycles. There can be no assurance, however, that Superfund Gold, L.P. will trade profitably in the
futures and forward markets or not incur losses.
THE FUTURES AND FORWARD MARKETS
Futures Contracts
Futures contracts are standardized agreements traded on commodity exchanges that call for the
future delivery of the commodity or financial instrument at a specified time and place. A futures
trader that enters into a contract to take delivery of the underlying commodity is long the
contract, or has bought the contract. A trader that is obligated to make delivery is short the
contract or has sold the contract. Actual delivery on the contract rarely occurs. Futures traders
usually offset (liquidate) their contract obligations by entering into equal but offsetting futures
positions. For example, a trader who is long one September Treasury bond contract on the Chicago
Board of Trade can offset the obligation by entering into a short position in a September Treasury
bond contract on that exchange. Futures positions that have not yet been liquidated are known as
open contracts or positions. Futures contracts are traded on a wide variety of commodities and
financial products, including agricultural products, metals, livestock products, government
securities, currencies and stock market indices. Options on futures contracts are also traded on
commodity exchanges.
Forward Contracts
Currencies and other commodities may be purchased or sold for future delivery or cash
settlement through banks or dealers pursuant to forward or swap contracts. Currencies also can be
traded pursuant to futures contracts on organized futures exchanges; however, the General Partner
will use the dealer market in foreign exchange contracts for most of Superfund Gold, L.P.s trading
in currencies. Such dealers will act as principals in these transactions and will include their
profit in the price quoted on the contracts. Unlike futures contracts, foreign exchange forward
contracts are not standardized. In addition, the forward market is largely unregulated. Forward
contracts are not currently cleared or guaranteed by a third party. When forward contracts are
not cleared or guaranteed by a third party, each Series is subject to the creditworthiness of the
foreign exchange dealer with whom Superfund Gold, L.P. maintains assets and positions relating to
each Series forward contract investments. Neither the CFTC nor the federal or state banking
authorities currently regulate the forward trading engaged in by the Series as eligible contract
participants. On and after July 16, 2011, the Series may be required to engage only in regulated
transactions.
Swap Transactions
Superfund Gold, L.P. may periodically enter into transactions in the forward or other markets
which could be characterized as swap transactions and which may involve commodities, interest
rates, currencies, stock indices, and other items. A swap transaction is an individually
negotiated, non-standardized agreement between two parties to exchange cash flows measured by
different interest rates, exchange rates, or prices, with payments calculated by reference to a
principal (notional) amount or quantity. Transactions in these markets present certain risks
similar to those in the futures, forward and options markets: (1) the swap markets may not be
regulated by any United States or foreign governmental authorities; (2) there may not be
limitations on daily price moves in swap transactions; (3) speculative position limits may not be
applicable to swap transactions, although the counterparties with which the Series may deal may
limit the size or duration of positions available as a consequence of credit considerations; (4)
participants in the swap markets are not required to make continuous markets in swaps contracts;
and (5) the swap markets are principal markets, in which performance with respect to a swap
contract may only be the responsibility of the counterparty with which the trader has entered into
a contract (or its guarantor, if any), and not of any exchange or clearinghouse. As a result, each
Series may be subject to the risk of the inability of or refusal
119
to perform with respect to such
contracts on the part of the counterparties with which Superfund Gold, L.P. trades. Also, the CFTC
or a court could conclude in the future that certain, primarily agricultural, swap transactions
entered into by Superfund Gold, L.P. constitute unauthorized futures or commodity option contracts.
Such a conclusion could limit Superfund Gold, L.P.s access to certain agricultural markets in the
United States, possibly to the detriment of Superfund Gold, L.P.
REGULATION
The U.S. futures markets are regulated under the Commodity Exchange Act, which is administered
by the CFTC, a federal agency created in 1974. The CFTC licenses and regulates commodity exchanges,
commodity pool
operators, commodity trading advisors and clearing firms which are referred to in the futures
industry as futures commission merchants. The General Partner is registered with the CFTC as a
commodity pool operator. Futures professionals are also regulated by the NFA, a self-regulatory
organization for the futures industry that supervises the dealings between futures professionals
and their customers. If the pertinent CFTC licenses or NFA memberships were to lapse, be suspended
or be revoked, the General Partner would be unable to act as Superfund Gold, L.P.s commodity pool
operator. The CFTC has adopted disclosure, reporting and recordkeeping requirements for commodity
pool operators. The reporting rules require commodity pool operators to furnish to the participants
in their pools a monthly statement of account, showing the pools income or loss and change in net
asset value, and an annual financial report, audited by an independent certified public accountant.
The CFTC and the exchanges have pervasive powers over the futures markets, including the emergency
power to suspend trading and order trading for liquidation of existing positions only. The exercise
of such powers could adversely affect Superfund Gold, L.P.s trading.
In order to establish and maintain a futures position, a trader must make a type of good-faith
deposit with its broker, known as margin, of approximately 2%-10% of contract value. Minimum
margins are established for each futures contract by the exchange on which the contract is traded.
The exchanges alter their margin requirements from time to time, sometimes significantly. For their
protection, clearing brokers may require higher margins from their customers than the exchange
minimums. When a position is established, initial margin is deposited. On most exchanges, at the
close of each trading day variation margin, representing the unrealized gain or loss on the open
positions, is either credited to or debited from a traders account. If variation margin payments
cause a traders initial margin to fall below maintenance margin levels, a margin call is
made, requiring the trader to deposit additional margin or have his position closed out. Collateral
is deposited in connection with forward contracts but is not required by any applicable regulation.
Additional collateral may be required by the relevant dealer to maintain a forward contract
position, similar to variation margin payments.
The Reform Act was enacted in July 2010. The Reform Act includes provisions that
comprehensively regulate the OTC derivatives markets for the first time. The Reform Act mandates
that a substantial portion of OTC derivatives be executed in regulated markets and submitted for
clearing to regulated clearinghouses. The mandates imposed by the Reform Act may result in
Superfund Gold, L.P. bearing higher upfront and mark-to-market margin, less favorable trade
pricing, and the possible imposition of new or increased fees.
The Reform Act also amended the definition of eligible contract participant, and the CFTC
has proposed regulations the result of which may be that Superfund Gold, L.P. will no longer be
permitted to engage in currency forward transactions by directly accessing the interbank market.
Rather, when the Reform Act goes into effect in July 2011, Superfund Gold, L.P. may be limited to
engaging in foreign currency futures transactions and, for off-exchange transactions, retail forex
transactions which could limit Superfund Gold, L.P.s potential currency forward counterparties to
futures commission merchants and retail foreign exchange dealers. Thus, limiting Superfund Gold,
L.P.s potential currency forward counterparties could lead to Superfund Gold, L.P. bearing higher
upfront and mark-to-market margin, less favorable trade pricing, and the possible imposition of new
or increased fees. The retail forex markets could also be significantly less liquid than the
interbank market. Moreover, the creditworthiness of the futures commission merchants and retail
foreign exchange dealers with whom Superfund Gold, L.P. may be required to trade could be
significantly weaker than the creditworthiness of the financial institutions with whom Superfund
Gold, L.P. currently engages for its currency forward transactions. Although the impact of
requiring Superfund Gold, L.P. to conduct currency forward transactions in the retail market
could be substantial, the full scope is currently unknown and the ultimate effect could also be
negligible.
120
INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS
A Gold Denominated Investment
Gold has often been viewed as a hedge against inflation and thus has often been viewed as a
safe haven in troubled or uncertain economic times. Gold has also been used as a hedge against
fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar against other currencies. Historically, when the
dollar has depreciated against foreign currencies generally, the dollar price of gold has risen,
and vice versa. However, there can be no assurance that historical patterns will persist into the
future.
Superfund Gold, L.P. is designed to combine an investment in gold with an investment in a
managed futures strategy. The gold investment of each Series is intended to de-link the Series net
asset value, which is denominated in U.S. dollars, from the value of the U.S. dollar relative to
gold, essentially denominating the Series net asset value in terms of gold. However, if the U.S.
dollar value of gold declines resulting in dollar losses for the Series, there can be no assurance
that there will be a corresponding increase in the value or purchasing power of the U.S. dollar for
goods (other than gold) or services priced in dollars. Further, there can be no assurance that
trading losses incurred in Superfund Gold, L.P.s speculative futures and forward trading will not
result in overall losses for the Series or that the Series will not reduce its gold position if
gold futures margin requirements increase significantly.
Potential Advantages of Managed Futures
Both the futures and forward markets and funds investing in those markets offer many
structural advantages that make managed futures an efficient way to participate in global markets.
Enhanced Profit Potential
Established managed futures funds, including Superfund funds, have often produced strong
absolute returns and, in many cases, have outperformed stocks and bonds during periods in which
those asset classes have not performed well. There can be no assurance, however, that Superfund
Gold, L.P. will perform positively under any given set of market conditions or that it will not
incur losses.
Low Correlation to Traditional Asset Classes and Other Alternative Asset Classes
Because they trade in numerous financial and commodities futures markets ranging from cotton
to palladium and currencies to stock indices, managed futures funds, in aggregate, have
historically experienced low long-term correlation to most traditional asset classes, including
stocks, bonds, and real estate. Managed futures funds may provide a valuable element of
diversification to an investors portfolio, even one in which other alternative asset classes are
represented, because of the low correlation of their returns to the returns of other alternative
asset classes, including many hedge fund strategies. There can be no assurance, however, that
Superfund Gold, L.P.s performance will be non-correlated to the performance of traditional asset
classes or that it will not experience sustained periods of significant correlation to the
performance of traditional asset classes.
Non-Correlated Investments within the Fund
Superfund Gold, L.P. trades on more than 120 futures and foreign currency markets, many of
which react differently from each other to the same economic or market condition. Broadly
diversifying across a wide range of futures markets can increase the potential to trade profitably
while protecting the overall portfolio from extensive losses from a single market. However,
Superfund Gold, L.P. does not trade in all available markets at all times and may be concentrated
in one or two sectors from time to time.
Potential to Profit in Bull and Bear Markets
Managed futures funds, unlike most mutual funds, which are long only, have the potential to
profit from market movements in both directions. By having the ability to go short, managed
futures funds may also profit
121
from anticipating that a futures price will go down in the future.
This potential to profit, whether markets are rising or falling around the globe, makes managed
futures particularly attractive as a diversification tool. There can be no assurance, however, that
the General Partners trading systems will correctly recognize any particular profit opportunity or
correctly anticipate price direction or that Superfund Gold, L.P. will not incur losses.
Interest Credit
Unlike some alternative, or non-traditional, investment funds, Superfund Gold, L.P. will not
borrow money to obtain leverage and will not incur any interest expense. Rather, margin deposits
and reserve assets will be maintained in cash in interest bearing accounts and in cash equivalents,
such as U.S. Treasury bills, and interest will
be earned on all or nearly all of Superfund Gold, L.P.s assets, which include unrealized
profits credited to the Series accounts.
Global Diversification within a Single Investment
Futures and related contracts can be traded in many countries, which makes it possible to
diversify risk around the globe. This diversification is available both geographically and across
market sectors. For example, an investor can trade interest rates, stock indices and currencies in
several countries around the world, as well as energy and metals. While Superfund Gold, L.P. will
trade across a diverse selection of global markets, an investment in a Series is not a complete
investment program but, rather, should be considered as a diversification opportunity for an
overall portfolio. However, if Superfund Gold, L.P. does not trade profitably, and there can be no
assurance that it will do so, the potential diversification benefits of an investment in Superfund
Gold, L.P. will not be realized.
Professional Trading
The General Partners approach includes the following elements:
|
|
|
|
Disciplined Money Management. The General Partner will generally allocate
between 0.6% to 0.8% of portfolio equity (i.e., exclusive of the dollar for dollar gold
position) to any single market position with a maximum risk of 1% to 1.5% from the
initial position. However, no guarantee is provided that losses will be limited to
these percentages. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Balanced Risk. The General Partner will allocate Superfund Gold, L.P.s capital
from among more than 120 futures and foreign currency markets around the world 24 hours
a day. Among the factors considered to determine the portfolio mix are market
volatility, liquidity and trending characteristics. Of course, Superfund Gold, L.P.
will generally not hold positions in all such markets at all times and may be
concentrated in one or two market sectors from time to time. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ongoing Capital Management. When proprietary risk/reward indicators reach
predetermined levels, the Superfund trading system may increase or decrease commitments
in certain markets in an attempt to reduce performance volatility. |
|
|
|
|
Multiple Systems. The Superfund trading systems analyze multiple technical
indicators and perimeters in combination in an attempt to identify significant upward
or downward movements, such as trends or other patterns which indicate the potential to
profit from a change in futures and forward price movements. Once potential trades are
identified, additional filters are applied which consider volatility and the
availability of risk capital before final trade signals are generated. |
Convenience
Through an investment in Units, investors can participate in global markets and opportunities
without needing to master complex trading strategies and monitor multiple international markets.
122
Liquidity
In most cases the markets to be traded by Superfund Gold, L.P. are highly liquid. Some markets
trade 24 hours on business days. While there can be cases where there may be no buyer or seller for
a particular futures contract, the General Partner attempts to select markets for investment based
upon, among other things, their perceived liquidity. Exchanges impose limits on the amount that a
futures price can move in one day. Situations in which markets have moved the limit for several
days in a row have not been common, but do occur. See The Risks You Face Lack of Liquidity in
the Markets in Which the Fund Trades Could Make It Impossible to Realize Profits or Limit Losses.
Investors may redeem all or a portion of their Units on a monthly basis. See Distributions;
Redemptions; Exchanges.
Limited Liability
Investors liability is limited to the amount of their investment in each Series. Investors
will not be required to contribute additional capital to either Series.

SUPERFUND GOLD, L.P.
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED
LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
This Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement (the Agreement) is made as of
November 3, 2009, by and among Superfund Capital Management, Inc., a Grenada corporation (the
General Partner) and each other person who becomes a party to this Agreement, whether by
execution of a counterpart of this Agreement or by execution of a separate instrument pursuant to
which such person agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, as an owner of a
unit (Unit) of beneficial interest in a series (Series) designated hereunder and who is shown
on the books and records of Superfund Gold, L.P. with respect to such Series as a limited partner
(individually, a Limited Partner and collectively, the Limited Partners).
1. Continuation; Name. The parties to this Agreement hereby continue a limited partnership
formed under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, as amended and in effect on the
date of this Agreement (the Act). The name of the limited partnership is Superfund Gold, L.P.
(the Partnership). The General Partner has executed and filed a Certificate of Limited
Partnership of the Partnership (the Certificate of Limited Partnership) in accordance with the
Act, and has executed, filed, recorded and published as appropriate such amendments, assumed name
certificates and other documents as are necessary or advisable in connection with the operation of
the Partnership, as determined by the General Partner, and will take all steps which the General
Partner may deem necessary or advisable to allow the Partnership to conduct business as a limited
partnership where the Partnership conducts business in any jurisdiction, and to otherwise provide
that Limited Partners will have limited liability with respect to the activities of the Partnership
in all such jurisdictions, and to comply with the law of any jurisdiction. Upon the admission of
additional Limited Partners, the initial Limited Partner shall automatically withdraw from the
Partnership as the initial Limited Partner. Each Limited Partner hereby undertakes to furnish to
the General Partner a power of attorney and such additional information as the General Partner may
request to complete such documents and to execute and cooperate in the filing, recording or
publishing of such documents as the General Partner determines appropriate.
2. (a) Units of Limited Partnership. The beneficial interest in the Partnership shall be
divided into an unlimited number of Units. The General Partner may, from time to time, authorize
the designation of the Units into one or more Series as provided in Section 2(b) below, and within
each Series may designate Units into any number of sub-Series (each a Sub-Series). All Units
issued hereunder shall be fully paid and nonassessable. The General Partner in its discretion may,
from time to time, without vote of the Limited Partners, issue Units, in addition to the then
issued and outstanding Units, to such party or parties at the then current net asset value of such
Units in connection with the business of the Partnership. In connection with any issuance of Units,
the General Partner may issue fractional Units. The General Partner may from time to time divide or
combine the Units into a greater or lesser number without thereby changing the proportionate
beneficial interests in a particular Series. Contributions to a Series of the Partnership may be
accepted for, and Units of such Series shall be redeemed as, whole Units and/or 1/1,000 of a Unit
or integral multiples thereof.
(b) Establishment of Series. The Partnership shall consist of one or more separate and
distinct Series as contemplated by Section 17-218 of the Act. The General Partner hereby
establishes and designates the following Series: Superfund Gold, L.P. Series A (Series
A) and Superfund Gold, L.P. Series B (Series B) (each, a Series). The General
Partner, in addition to being the general partner of the Partnership, shall be the general
partner associated with each Series designated and established hereunder. Any additional
Series designated hereunder shall be established by the adoption of a resolution by the
General Partner and shall be effective upon the date stated therein (or, if no such date is
stated, upon the date of such adoption). The Units of each Series shall have the relative
rights and preferences provided for herein and such rights as may be designated by the
General Partner. The General Partner shall cause separate and distinct records for each
Series to be maintained and the Partnership shall hold and account for the assets associated
therewith separately from the other Partnership property and the assets associated with any
other Series. Each Unit of a Series (or a Sub-Series thereof,) shall represent an equal
beneficial interest in the net assets associated with that Series (or Sub-Series thereof).
Unless the establishing resolution or
A-1
any other resolution adopted pursuant to this Section 2(b) otherwise provides, Units of
each Series established hereunder shall have the following relative rights and preferences:
(i) Limited Partners with respect to a Series shall have no preemptive or other
right to subscribe to any additional Units of such Series or other securities issued
by the Partnership.
(ii) All consideration received by the Partnership for the issue or sale of the
Units of a Series, together with all assets in which such consideration is invested
or reinvested, all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, including any
proceeds derived from the sale, exchange, or liquidation of such assets, and any
funds or payments derived from any reinvestment of such proceeds in whatever form
the same may be, shall be held and accounted for separately from the other assets of
the Partnership and of every other Series and may be referred to herein as assets
belonging to that Series or the Series Estate. The assets belonging to a
particular Series shall belong to that Series for all purposes, and to no other
Series, subject only to the rights of creditors of that Series. In addition, any
assets, income, earnings, profits, or payments and proceeds with respect thereto,
which are not readily identifiable as belonging to any particular Series shall be
allocated by the General Partner between and among one or more of the Series for all
purposes and such assets, income, earnings, profits, or funds, or payments and
proceeds with respect thereto, shall be assets belonging to that Series.
(iii) A particular Series shall be charged with the liabilities of that Series,
and all expenses, costs, charges and reserves attributable to any particular Series
shall be borne by such Series. Any general liabilities, expenses, costs, charges or
reserves of the Partnership (or any Series) that are not readily identifiable as
chargeable to or bearable by any particular Series shall be allocated and charged by
the General Partner between or among any one or more of the Series in such manner as
the General Partner in its sole discretion deems fair and equitable. Each such
allocation shall be conclusive and binding upon the Limited Partners for all
purposes. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this subsection, the debts,
liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing
with respect to a particular Series shall be enforceable only against the assets
belonging to such Series, and not against the assets of the Partnership generally or
the assets belonging to any other Series, and none of the debts, liabilities,
obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect
to the Partnership generally or any other Series shall be enforceable against the
assets belonging to such Series. Notice of this contractual limitation on
inter-Series liabilities is set forth in the Certificate of Limited Partnership, and
the statutory provisions of Section 17-218 of the Act relating to limitations on
inter-Series liabilities (and the statutory effect under Section 17-218 of such
notice in the Certificate of Limited Partnership) applies to the Partnership and
each Series.
(c) Creation of Accounts. The General Partner has established and shall maintain an
account entitled Superfund Gold, L.P. Series A Account (the Series A Account) and an
account entitled Superfund Gold, L.P. Series B Account (the Series B Account). The sums
held in the Series A Account shall be held for the benefit of Series A and the sums held in
the Series B Account shall be held for the benefit of Series B and such accounts shall be
segregated from each other and from the Partnership generally and separate records with
respect thereto shall be kept for purposes of Section 17-218 of the Act. The General Partner
shall hold, invest and disburse the funds held in the accounts in accordance with the terms
hereof.
(d) Creation of Additional Accounts. The General Partner is authorized to establish and
maintain one or more separate accounts for each Series (the Additional Accounts) with such
institutions as the General Partner shall select for the following purposes:
(i) to receive and deposit subscriptions for Units of such Series;
(ii) to pay Limited Partners associated with such Series for redemptions of all
or a portion of their Units; and
A-2
(iii) to engage in the Partnerships business as set forth in Section 4 hereof.
The General Partner acknowledges that the funds held in any such Additional Accounts of a
Series will be held for that Series only and that such Additional Accounts shall be segregated from
the Additional Accounts held for any other Series and that separate records shall be maintained for
each Series with respect to the Additional Accounts.
(e) Limited Liability of Limited Partners. Each Unit, when purchased by a Limited
Partner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will be fully paid and
nonassessable. No Limited Partner will be liable for the Partnerships obligations in excess
of that Limited Partners unredeemed capital contribution, undistributed profits, if any,
and any distributions and amounts received upon redemption of Units. The Partnership will
not make a claim against a Limited Partner with respect to amounts distributed to that
Limited Partner or amounts received by that Limited Partner upon redemption of Units unless
the Net Assets of the Partnership (which will not include any right of contribution from the
General Partner except to the extent previously made by it under this Agreement) are
insufficient to discharge the liabilities of the Partnership which have arisen before the
payment of these amounts.
(f) Sub-Series. Initially, each Series Units shall be designated into two Sub-Series:
Series A-1, Series A-2, Series B-1 and Series B-2. The only difference between the Series 1
and Series 2 Units within each Series is that Series 2 Units are not charged selling
commissions and are available exclusively to (i) investors participating in selling agent
asset-based or fixed-fee investment programs or in investment advisors asset-based or
fixed-fee advisory programs and whose Units were sold by Superfund USA, Inc., or an
affiliated broker, (ii) investors who purchased Units through Superfund USA, Inc. or an
affiliated broker and who are commodity pools operated by commodity pool operators
registered as such with the National Futures Association (NFA), and (iii) investors who
have paid the maximum selling commission on their Series A-1 or Series B-1 Units (such
availability being by redesignation of such Units as Series A-2 Units or Series B-2 Units).
3. Principal Office. The address of the principal office of each Series shall be Superfund
Capital Management, Inc., Superfund Office Building, P.O. Box 1479, Grand Anse, St. Georges,
Grenada, West Indies; telephone (473) 439-2418. The General Partner is located at the same address.
Registered Agents Legal Services, LLC shall receive service of process on each Series of the
Partnership in the State of Delaware at 1220 North Market Street, Suite 606, Wilmington, Delaware
19801.
4. Business. The business and purpose of the Partnership and each Series is to trade, buy,
sell, swap or otherwise acquire, hold or dispose of commodities (including, but not limited to,
foreign currencies, money market instruments, financial instruments, and any other securities or
items which are now, or may hereafter be, the subject of futures contract trading), domestic and
foreign commodity futures contracts, commodity forward contracts, foreign exchange commitments,
options on physical commodities and on futures contracts, spot (cash) commodities and currencies,
securities (such as United States Treasury securities) approved by the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission (CFTC) for investment of customer funds and other securities on a limited basis, and
any rights pertaining thereto and any options thereon, whether traded on an organized exchange or
otherwise, and to engage in all activities necessary, convenient or incidental thereto. The
Partnership and Series may engage in such business and purpose either directly or through joint
ventures, partnerships or other entities. The objective of the Partnership (and each Series) is to
maintain the approximate equivalent of a dollar for dollar investment in gold (the Dollar for
Dollar Gold Position) while seeking appreciation of assets through speculative trading by the
General Partner.
5. Term, Dissolution, Fiscal Year.
(a) Term. The term of the Partnership commenced on the day on which the Certificate of
Limited Partnership was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware pursuant
to the provisions of the Act and shall end upon the first to occur of the following:
(i) receipt by the General Partner of an approval to dissolve the Partnership
at a specified time by Limited Partners owning Units representing more than fifty
percent (50%) of the
A-3
outstanding Units of each Series then owned by Limited Partners of each Series,
notice of which is sent by certified mail return receipt requested to the General
Partner not less than 90 days prior to the effective date of such dissolution;
(ii) withdrawal, insolvency or dissolution of the General Partner or any other
event that causes the General Partner to cease to be the General Partner of the
Partnership, unless (i) at the time of each event there is at least one remaining
general partner of the Partnership who carries on the business of the Partnership
(and each remaining general partner of the Partnership is hereby authorized to carry
on the business of general partner of the Partnership in such an event), or (ii)
within 120 days after such event Limited Partners of a Series holding a majority of
Units of such Series agree in writing to continue the business of the Partnership
and such Series and to the appointment, effective as of the date of such event, of
one or more general partners of the Partnership and associated with such Series;
(iii) a decline in the aggregate Net Assets of each Series to less than
$500,000 at any time following commencement of trading in the Series;
(iv) dissolution of the Partnership pursuant hereto; or
(v) any other event which shall make it unlawful for the existence of the
Partnership to be continued or which requires termination of the Partnership.
(b) Trading activities with respect to a Series shall cease and such Series shall be
terminated upon the first to occur of the following; (i) receipt by the General Partner of
an approval to dissolve such Series at a specified time by Limited Partners owning Units
representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding Units of such Series then
owned by Limited Partners of such Series, notice of which is sent by certified mail return
receipt requested to the General Partner not less than 90 days prior to the effective date
of such dissolution; (ii) withdrawal of the General Partner as the general partner
associated with such Series or any other event that causes the General Partner to cease to
be the general partner associated with such Series, unless (a) at the time of such event
there is at least one remaining general partner associated with such Series who carries on
the business of such Series (and each remaining general partner associated with such Series
is hereby authorized to carry on the business of general partner associated with such Series
in such an event), or (b) within 120 days after such event Limited Partners holding a
majority of Units of such Series agree in writing to continue the business of such Series
and to the appointment, effective as of the date of such event, of one or more general
partners associated with such Series; (iii) a decline in the aggregate Net Assets of such
Series to less than $500,000 at any time following commencement of trading in such Series;
(iv) dissolution of such Series pursuant hereto; or (v) any other event which shall make it
unlawful for the existence of such Series to be continued or that requires termination of
such Series.
(c) Dissolution. Upon the occurrence of an event causing the dissolution of the
Partnership or termination of a Series, the Partnership shall be dissolved, or such Series
shall be terminated, and its affairs wound up. Upon the dissolution of the Partnership, or
termination of a Series, the General Partner (or, if the General Partner declines, such
other person as the Limited Partners may, by majority vote of all outstanding Units, in the
case of the dissolution of the Partnership, or majority vote of all outstanding Units of a
Series, in the case of termination of such Series, shall select) shall wind up the
Partnerships, or such Series, affairs and, in connection therewith, shall distribute the
assets belonging to each Series, in the case of the dissolution of the Partnership, or a
Series, in the case of the termination of such Series, in the following manner and order:
(i) first to pay or make reasonable provision to pay all claims and obligations, including
all contingent, conditional or unmatured claims and obligations, for which the General
Partner (or its successor) may create a reserve, known to each Series, or relevant Series,
including claims of Unitholders, and all claims and obligations which are known to each
Series, or relevant Series, but for which the identity of the claimant is unknown; and (ii)
second to distribution in cash of the remaining assets to the Unitholders of each Series in
proportion to their capital accounts in each Series, after giving effect to the allocations
pursuant to Section 8 hereof as if the date of distribution were the end of a calendar year.
The Partnership shall terminate when (i) all assets of all Series shall have been
distributed in the
A-4
manner provided for in this Agreement and (ii) the Certificate of Limited Partnership
shall have been canceled in the manner required by the Act.
(d) Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Partnership shall begin on January 1 of each
year (other than the first fiscal year of the Partnership) and end on the following December
31.
(e) Net Asset Value; Net Asset Value per Unit.
(i) The Net Assets of each Series are the assets belonging to such Series
less the liabilities incurred by or associated with such Series determined in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The
Net Assets of a Sub-Series of any Series are the Series assets attributable to such
Sub-Series less the Series liabilities attributable to such Sub-Series. If a
futures, forward or other contract cannot be liquidated on the day with respect to
which Net Assets are being determined, the settlement price on the first subsequent
day on which the contract can be liquidated shall be the basis for determining the
liquidating value of such contract for such day, or such other value as the General
Partner may deem fair and reasonable. The liquidating value of a commodity futures
or option contract not traded on a commodity exchange shall mean its liquidating
value as determined by the General Partner on a basis consistently applied for each
different variety of contract. The Net Asset Value per Unit of a Series, or a
Sub-Series thereof, is the Net Assets belonging to such Series, or the Net Assets of
such Sub-Series, divided by the number of outstanding Units of such Series, or such
Sub-Series, as of the date of determination. The Partnership may issue an unlimited
number of Units of each Series, or each Sub-Series thereof, at the Net Asset Value
per Unit of such Series or Sub-Series thereof.
(ii) The Net Asset Value per Unit of a Series or Sub-Series thereof shall be
quoted in U.S. dollars and may also be quoted in any other currency or dollar
equivalent of any commodity, including, but not limited to, gold, as described in
the prospectus included in the most recent effective registration statement relating
to the offering of Units (the Prospectus).
6. Net Worth of the General Partner. The General Partner agrees that at all times so long as
it remains general partner of the Partnership, it will maintain its net worth at an amount not less
than 5% of the total contributions to the Partnership, including each Series, by all Partners and
to any other commodity program for which it acts as sponsor; provided, however, that in no event
shall the General Partners net worth be less than $50,000 nor be required to be more than
$1,000,000. The requirements of the preceding sentence may be modified by the General Partner if
such modification reflects or exceeds applicable North American Securities Administrators
Association Guidelines for the Registration of Commodity Pool Programs (NASAA Guidelines).
7. Capital Contributions; Units. The Partners respective capital contributions to the
Partnership in respect of a Series shall be as shown on the books and records of the applicable
Series. The General Partner, so long as it is general partner associated with a Series, shall
contribute to such Series sufficient capital so that the General Partner will have at all times a
capital account equal to or greater than the greater of $25,000 or 1% of the total capital accounts
of such Series (including the General Partners). The General Partner may withdraw any interest it
may have in such Series in excess of such requirement, and may redeem as of any month-end any
interest which it may acquire on the same terms as any Limited Partner of such Series, provided
that it must maintain the minimum interest in such Series described in the preceding sentence. The
requirements of this Section 7 may be modified by the General Partner if such modification reflects
or exceeds applicable NASAA Guidelines. The General Partners interest in each Series shall be
accounted for on a Unit-equivalent basis (but may receive allocations on an aggregate basis so as
to simplify accounting with respect to such Series). Any Units acquired by the General Partner or
any of its affiliates will be non-voting, and will not be considered outstanding for purposes of
determining whether the majority approval of the outstanding Units of a Series has been obtained.
The General Partner may, without the consent of any Limited Partners, admit to the Partnership
purchasers of Units as Limited Partners associated with a Series. All Units subscribed for upon
receipt of a check or draft of the Limited Partner are issued subject to the collection of the
funds represented by such check or draft. In the event a check or draft of a Limited Partner for
Units representing payment for Units is returned unpaid, the Partnership shall cancel the Units
issued to such Limited Partner represented by such returned check or draft. Any losses or profits
sustained by a Series in
A-5
connection with such Series trading activities allocable to such cancelled Units shall be
deemed an increase or decrease in Net Assets of such Series and allocated among the remaining
Limited Partners associated with such Series as described in Section 8. Each subscriber for Units
agrees to reimburse the relevant Series for any expense or loss (including any trading loss)
incurred in connection with the issuance and cancellation of any Units issued to him or her. The
General Partner and each person selling Units on behalf of the Partnership may not complete a sale
of the Units to prospective investors until at least five (5) business days after the date the
prospective investor receives a final prospectus.
8. Allocation of Profits and Losses.
(a) Capital Accounts and Allocations. A capital account will be established for each
Unit and the General Partner. The initial balance of each capital account will be the amount
contributed to a Series in respect of a Unit or by the General Partner. As of the close of
business (as determined by the General Partner) on the last day of each calendar month
(Determination Date), the following determinations and allocations will be made with
respect to each Series:
(i) Net assets belonging to the Series shall be determined without regard to
management or Performance Fees or selling commissions.
(ii) Any increase or decrease in the net assets (as determined pursuant to
Paragraph (i) above), as compared to the last such determination, shall then be
credited or charged in equal amounts to the capital account of each Unit and to the
capital account of the General Partner (on a Unit-equivalent basis).
(iii) The monthly management fee and selling commissions shall then be charged
against the Units, as applicable on a Sub-Series by Sub-Series basis, reducing the
net asset value of each Unit within a Sub-Series equally.
(iv) The monthly Performance Fee (as defined below), if any, shall then be
determined, on a Sub-Series by Sub-Series basis, and charged against the Units
reducing the net asset value of each Unit within a Sub-Series equally.
(v) The amount of any distributions made in respect of a Unit as of the end of
such month and any amount paid upon partial redemption of Units or upon withdrawal
of the General Partners interest as of the end of such month shall be charged
against the capital account of such Unit or of the General Partner. The capital
account of each Unit fully redeemed shall be eliminated.
(b) Allocation of Profit and Loss for Federal Income Tax Purposes. As of the end of
each fiscal year, the Partnerships income and expense and capital gain or loss attributable
to a Series will be allocated among the Units of such Series and the General Partner (as
with respect to such Series) under the following subparagraphs for federal income tax
purposes. Allocations will be pro rata from short-term capital gain or loss and long-term
capital gain or loss attributable to such Series. For purposes of this Section 8(b) capital
gain and capital loss shall be allocated separately and not netted.
(i) Items of ordinary income and expense (other than the management fee,
Performance Fee and selling commissions) will be allocated, as applicable, pro rata
among the Units within each Sub-Series outstanding as of the end of each month
(including Units then being redeemed).
(ii) Ordinary deductions attributable to the management fees and Performance
Fees paid to the General Partner and the selling commissions shall be allocated to
each Partner in the same manner as such management fees, Performance Fees and
selling commissions are allocated for financial purposes pursuant to Section 8(a).
A-6
(iii) Capital gain or loss will be allocated as follows:
(A) There shall be established a tax account with respect to each
outstanding Unit. The initial balance of each tax account shall be the net
amount paid to the Partnership for each Unit of such Series. As of the end
of each fiscal year:
(1) Each tax account for the Units will be increased by the amount of
income or gain allocated to the holder of the Unit under subparagraph (b)(i)
above and subparagraph (b)(iii)(C) below.
(2) Each tax account for the Units shall be decreased by the amount of
expense or loss allocated to each Unit pursuant to subparagraphs (b)(i),
(b)(ii) and (b)(iii)(E) and by the amount of any distributions paid out with
respect to such Units other than upon redemption.
(3) When a Unit is redeemed, the tax account attributable to such Unit
(determined after making all allocations described in this Section 8(b))
will be eliminated.
(B) Each Partner who redeems a Unit during a fiscal year (including
Units redeemed as of the end of the last day of such fiscal year) shall be
allocated capital gain, if any, up to the amount of the excess, if any, of
the amount received in respect of the Units so redeemed over the sum of the
tax accounts (determined after making the allocations described in
subparagraphs (b)(i) and (b)(ii), but prior to making the allocations
described in this subparagraph (b)(iii)(B)) of such Units (an Excess). In
the event that the aggregate amount of capital gain available to be
allocated pursuant to this subparagraph (b)(iii)(B) is less than the
aggregate amount of capital gain required to be so allocated, the aggregate
amount of available capital gain shall be allocated among all such Partners
in the ratio which each such Partners Excess bears to the aggregate Excess
of all such Partners.
(C) Capital gain remaining after the allocation described in
subparagraph (b)(iii)(B) shall be allocated among all Partners who hold
Units outstanding as of the end of the applicable fiscal year (other than
Units redeemed as of the end of the last day of such fiscal year) whose
capital accounts with respect to such Units are in excess of the related tax
accounts (determined after making the allocations described in subparagraphs
(b)(i) and (b)(ii)) allocable to such Units, in the ratio that each such
Partners excess bears to the aggregate excess of all such Partners. Capital
gain remaining after the allocation described in the preceding sentence
shall be allocated among all Partners in proportion to their holdings of
such Units.
(D) Each Partner who redeems a Unit during a fiscal year (including
Units redeemed as of the end of the last day of such fiscal year) shall be
allocated capital loss, if any, up to the amount of the sum of the excess of
the tax accounts (determined after making the allocations described in
subparagraphs (b)(i) and (b)(ii), but prior to making the allocations
described in this subparagraph (b)(iii)(D)) of the Units so redeemed over
the amount received in respect of such Units (a Negative Excess). In the
event that the aggregate amount of capital loss available to be allocated
pursuant to this subparagraph (b)(iii)(D) is less than the aggregate amount
of capital loss required to be so allocated, the aggregate amount of
available capital loss shall be allocated among all such Partners in the
ratio that each such Partners Negative Excess bears to the aggregate
Negative Excess of all such Partners.
(E) Capital loss remaining after the allocation described in
subparagraph (b)(iii)(D) shall be allocated among all Partners who hold
Units outstanding as of the end of the applicable fiscal year (other than
Units redeemed as of the end of the last day of
A-7
such fiscal year) whose tax accounts with respect to such Units are in
excess of their capital accounts (determined after making the allocations
described in subparagraphs (b)(i) and (b)(ii), with respect to such Units,
in the ratio that each such Partners excess bears to the aggregate excess
of all such Partners. Capital loss remaining after the allocation described
in the preceding sentence shall be allocated among all Partners in
proportion to their holdings of such Units.
(iv) The tax allocations prescribed by this Section 8(b) will be made to each
holder of a Unit whether or not the holder is a substituted Limited Partner. If a
Unit has been transferred or assigned, the allocations prescribed by this Section
8(b) will be made with respect to such Unit without regard to the transfer or
assignment, except that in the year of transfer or assignment the allocations
prescribed by this Section 8(b) will be divided between the transferor or assignor
and the transferee or assignee based on the number of months each held the
transferred or assigned Unit.
(v) For purposes of this Section 8(b), the General Partners interest in the
Partnership (with respect to each Series) shall be treated as if it were a single
Unit.
(vi) The allocation of profit and loss for federal income tax purposes set
forth herein allocates taxable profit and loss among the Partners in the ratio and
to the extent that financial profit and loss are allocated to such Partners and so
as to eliminate, to the maximum practicable extent, any disparity between a Units
capital account and its tax account, consistent with principles set forth in Section
704 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), including without
limitation a Qualified Income Offset.
(vii) For purposes of this Section 8(b), capital gain or capital loss shall
mean gain or loss characterized as gain or loss from the sale or exchange of a
capital asset, by the Code, including, but not limited to, gain or loss required to
be taken into account pursuant to Section 1256 thereof.
(viii) The allocations of profit and loss to the Partners in respect of their
Units shall not exceed the allocations permitted under Subchapter K of the Code, as
determined by the General Partner, whose determination shall be binding.
(c) Performance Fees. Performance Fees shall be payable to the General Partner by the
Partnership in respect of each Series as of the end of each month. The Performance Fee shall
equal a percentage, in respect of each Series as specified in the Prospectus, of New
Appreciation (if any) calculated as of the end of each month. New Appreciation shall be
the total increase, if any, in Net Asset Value of a Series, or a Sub-Series thereof
excluding that portion of any such increase allocable to the General Partners capital
account from the end of the last period for which a Performance Fee was earned (the High
Water Mark). For purposes of determining New Appreciation, the total increase, if any, in
Net Asset Value of a Series, or Sub-Series thereof, above the High Water Mark shall be
determined without regard to (i) increases in Net Asset Value due to capital contributions
(inclusive of subscription proceeds) or interest income, (ii) decreases in Net Asset Value
due to redemptions, withdrawals, distributions, or the Performance Fee itself, or (iii)
changes, positive or negative, in the value of a Series Dollar for Dollar Gold Position. If
Units are redeemed when there is a loss carryforward for Performance Fee calculation
purposes (that is, the current level of cumulative New Appreciation is below the High Water
Mark), such loss carryforward shall be reduced in proportion to the proportion of the total
outstanding Units redeemed.
(d) Expenses.
(1) The General Partner or an Affiliate shall pay, without reimbursement by the
Partnership, the organizational and initial offering costs (excluding selling
commissions) incurred in connection with the formation of the Partnership and the
initial offering of the Units.
A-8
(2) Each Series shall be obligated to pay all liabilities incurred by such
Series, including without limitation, (i) brokerage fees (up to 5% (Series A) and 7%
(Series B) annually of the average annual net assets of the Series); (ii) operating
and ongoing offering expenses (whether direct or indirect) in an amount not to
exceed 1/12 of 0.75% of such Series month-end Net Asset Value (0.75% per annum),
management fees equal to 1/12 of 2.25% of such Series month-end Net Asset Value
(2.25% per annum), and performance fees; (iii) subject to a maximum cumulative
selling commission of 10% of the gross offering proceeds of a Unit, monthly selling
commissions of 1/12 of 2% (2% per annum), provided, however, that Units of each
Series attributable to Limited Partners whose investments in the Partnership are
made through and participate in a selling agents asset-based fee or fixed fee
investment program or were recommended by registered investment advisers with whom
such persons maintain asset-based fee or fixed fee investment advisory
relationships, and are sold by Superfund USA, Inc. or an affiliated broker, shall
not be subject to the selling commission (such Units being designated as Series 2
Units within each Series to which selling commission expenses will not be
allocated); (iv) legal and accounting fees; and (v) taxes and other extraordinary
expenses incurred by such Series. During any year of operations, the General Partner
shall be responsible for payment of operating expenses of a Series in excess of
0.75% of such Series month-end Net Asset Value during that year. Units against
which the maximum permissible cumulative selling commissions have been charged shall
be redesignated, and their Net Asset Value shall be recalculated in terms of, Units
of a Sub-Series against which no selling commissions are charged and no further
selling commissions shall be charged against such Units. Expenses of the General
Partner, direct or indirect, such as salaries, rent and other overhead expenses,
shall not be liabilities of a Series. Each Series shall receive all interest earned
on its assets.
(3) Each Series shall also be obligated to pay any costs of indemnification
payable by such Series to the extent permitted under Section 17 of this Agreement.
(e) Limited Liability of Limited Partners. Each Unit, when purchased in accordance with
this Agreement, shall, except as otherwise provided by law, be fully paid and nonassessable.
Any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, except as otherwise
provided by law, no Limited Partner associated with a Series shall be liable for such
Series or Partnership obligations in excess of the capital contributed by such Limited
Partner in respect of such Series, plus his share of undistributed profits and assets of
such Series.
(f) Return of Capital Contributions. No Limited Partner or subsequent assignee shall
have any right to demand the return of his capital contribution or any profits added
thereto, except through redeeming Units or upon termination of the Series with which such
Limited Partner is associated, in each case as provided herein and in accordance with the
Act. In no event shall a Limited Partner or subsequent assignee be entitled to demand or
receive property other than cash.
9. Management of the Partnership and each Series. The General Partner, to the exclusion
of all Limited Partners, shall have the power to control, conduct and manage the business of the
Partnership, including each Series. The General Partner shall have full power and authority to do
any and all acts and to make and execute any and all contracts and instruments that it may consider
necessary or appropriate in connection with the management of the Partnership. The General Partner
shall have sole discretion in determining what distributions of profits and income, if any, shall
be made to the Limited Partners associated with any Series (subject to the allocation provisions
hereof), shall execute various documents on behalf of each Series and, if necessary, the Limited
Partners pursuant to powers of attorney and supervise the liquidation of each Series if an event
causing termination of such Series occurs. The General Partner may engage, and compensate on behalf
of a Series from assets associated with such Series, or agree to share profits and losses with,
such persons, firms or corporations, including (except as described in Section 8(d) of this
Agreement) the General Partner and any affiliated
person or entity, as the General Partner in its sole judgment shall deem advisable for the
conduct and operation of the business of the Partnership and the Series, provided, that no such
arrangement shall allow brokerage commissions paid by a Series in excess of the amount described in
the Prospectus or as permitted under applicable NASAA Guidelines in effect as of the date of the
Prospectus, whichever is lower (the Cap Amount). The General Partner shall reimburse each Series,
on an annual basis, to the extent that such Series brokerage commissions paid to the General
Partner exceed the Cap
A-9
Amount. The General Partner is hereby specifically authorized to enter into, on behalf of each
Series, the initial subscription escrow agreements, any introducing broker agreement, and the
Selling Agreement as described in the Prospectus. In addition to any specific contract or
agreements described herein, the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership and each Series may
enter into any other contracts or agreements specifically described in or contemplated by the
Prospectus without any further act, approval or vote of the Limited Partners notwithstanding any
other provisions of this Agreement, the Act or any applicable law, rule or regulations. The General
Partner shall be under a fiduciary duty to conduct the affairs of the Partnership and each Series
in the best interests of the Partnership and such Series. The Limited Partners associated with a
Series will under no circumstances be deemed to have contracted away the fiduciary obligations owed
them by the General Partner. The General Partners fiduciary duty includes, among other things, the
safekeeping of all funds and assets associated with the Series and the use thereof for the benefit
of each such Series. The General Partner shall at all times act with integrity and good faith and
exercise due diligence in all activities relating to the conduct of the business of the Partnership
and the Series and in resolving conflicts of interest. The Series brokerage arrangements shall be
non-exclusive, and the brokerage commissions paid by the Series shall be competitive. The General
Partner shall seek the best price and services available for commodity transactions. The General
Partner is hereby authorized to perform all other duties imposed by Sections 6221 through 6234 of
the Code on the General Partner as the tax matters partner of the Partnership (including each
Series).
The Partnership and the Series shall make no loans to any party, and the assets associated
with each Series will not be commingled with the assets of any other person or entity or other
Series (deposit of funds with a bank, a clearing broker, clearinghouse or forward dealer, or
entering into joint ventures or partnerships shall not be deemed to constitute commingling for
these purposes). No person or entity may receive, directly or indirectly, any advisory, management
or performance fees, or any profit-sharing allocation from joint ventures, partnerships or similar
arrangements in which a Series participates, for investment advice or management, who shares or
participates in any clearing brokerage commissions; no broker may pay, directly or indirectly,
rebates or give-ups to any trading advisor or manager or to the General Partner or any of their
respective affiliates in respect of sales of Units; and such prohibitions may not be circumvented
by any reciprocal business arrangements. The foregoing prohibition shall not prevent the
Partnership or the Series from executing transactions with any futures commission merchant, broker
or dealer or from employing and compensating any affiliate of the General Partner in the
capacities, and to the extent, disclosed in the Prospectus. The maximum period covered by any
contract entered into on behalf of a Series with the General Partner or any affiliate, except for
the various provisions of the Selling Agreement which survive each closing of the sale of the
Units, shall not exceed one year. Any material change in the Partnerships basic investment
policies or structure shall require the approval of all Limited Partners of each Series then owned
by the Limited Partners. Any agreements between a Series and the General Partner or any affiliate
of the General Partner shall be terminable without penalty by such Series upon 60 days written
notice. All sales of Units in the United States will be conducted by registered brokers. Each
Series is prohibited from employing the trading technique commonly known as pyramiding as such
term is defined in Section I.B. of the NASAA Guidelines. The General Partner may take into account
each Series open trade equity on existing positions in determining generally whether to acquire
additional commodity positions on behalf of each Series and will not be considered to be engaging
in pyramiding. The General Partner may take such other actions on behalf of the Partnership and
the Series as the General Partner deems necessary or desirable to manage the business of the
Partnership and the Series. The General Partner is engaged, and may in the future engage, in other
business activities and shall not be required to refrain from any other activity nor forego any
profits from any such activity, whether or not in competition with the Partnership and the Series.
Limited Partners may similarly engage in any such other business activities. The General Partner
shall devote to the Partnership and the Series such time as the General Partner may deem advisable
to conduct the business and affairs of the Partnership and the Series.
10. Audits and Reports to Limited Partners. The Partnerships books (including with respect to
each Series) shall be audited annually by an independent certified public accountant. The General
Partner will use reasonable efforts to cause each Limited Partner to receive (i) within 90 days
after the close of each fiscal year certified financial statements of the Partnership for the
fiscal year then ended, (ii) by March 15 of the year following the end of each fiscal year such tax
information as is necessary for a Limited Partner to complete his federal income tax return, and
(iii) such other annual and monthly information as the CFTC may by regulation require. The General
Partner shall notify the Limited Partners associated with a Series within seven business days of
any material change in the compensation of any party relating to such Series. Limited Partners or
their duly authorized representatives may inspect the Partnerships books and records related to
the Series in which such Limited Partner holds Units
A-10
during normal business hours upon reasonable written notice to the General Partner and obtain
copies of such records, upon payment of reasonable reproduction costs and certification to the
General Partner that the inspection and/or copying of such records shall be solely for purposes
reasonably related to such Limited Partners interest as a beneficial owner of Units and not for
any commercial purpose. The General Partner shall have the right to keep confidential from Limited
Partners, for such period of time as the General Partner deems reasonable, any information that the
General Partner reasonably believes is required by law or by agreement with a third party to be
kept confidential, provided that such information may not be kept confidential if it involved a
transaction between a Series and an affiliate of the General Partner. The General Partner shall
make the Partnerships books and records available for inspection and copying at the New York, New
York, offices of its Affiliate, Superfund USA, Inc. (a registered broker-dealer, 489 5th Avenue,
New York, New York 10017) and will provide Limited Partners with a list of names of the then
current Limited Partners and their last known mailing addresses, subject to the same
representations of a proper, non-commercial purpose as set forth above, by mail upon payment of
reasonable copying and mailing charges. The General Partner shall calculate the approximate Net
Asset Value per Unit of each Series on a daily basis, both in U.S. dollars and in ounces of gold,
and furnish such information upon request to any Limited Partner. The General Partner shall
maintain and preserve all Partnership records for a period of not less than six years. The General
Partner shall, with the assistance of the Partnerships clearing brokers, make an annual review of
the clearing brokerage arrangements applicable to the Series. In connection with such review, the
General Partner shall ascertain, to the extent practicable, the clearing brokerage rates charged to
other major commodity pools whose trading and operations are, in the opinion of the General
Partner, comparable to those of the Series in order to assess whether the rates charged the Series
are competitive in light of the services received. If, as a result of such review, the General
Partner determines that such rates are not competitive in light of the services provided the
Series, the General Partner will notify the Limited Partners, setting forth the rates charged the
Series and several funds which are, in the General Partners opinion, comparable to the
Partnership.
11. Assignability of Units. Each Limited Partner expressly agrees that he will not voluntarily
assign, transfer or dispose of, by gift or otherwise, any of his Units or any part or all of his
right, title and interest in the capital or profits of a Unit in violation of any applicable
federal or state securities laws or without giving written notice to the General Partner at least
30 days prior to the date of such assignment, transfer or disposition. No assignment, transfer or
disposition by an assignee of Units of any Series or of any part of his right, title and interest
in the capital or profits of such Units shall be effective until the General Partner receives the
written notice of the assignment; the General Partner shall not be required to give any assignee
any rights hereunder prior to receipt of such notice. The General Partner may, in its sole
discretion, waive any such notice. No such assignee, except with the consent of the General
Partner, which consent may be withheld only to prevent or minimize potential adverse legal or tax
consequences to the Partnership and only for the period during which such adverse consequences
would arise, may become a substituted Limited Partner, nor will the estate or any beneficiary of a
deceased Limited Partner or assignee have any right to redeem Units except by redemption as
provided in Section 12 hereof. Each Limited Partner agrees that with the consent of the General
Partner any assignee may become a substituted Limited Partner without need of the further act or
approval of any Limited Partner. If the General Partner withholds consent, an assignee shall not
become a substituted Limited Partner, and shall not have any of the rights of a Limited Partner,
except that the assignee shall be entitled to receive that share of capital and profits and shall
have that right of redemption to which his assignor would otherwise have been entitled and will
remain subject to the other terms of this Agreement. No assignment, transfer or disposition of
Units shall be effective until the first day of the month succeeding the month in which the General
Partner consents to such assignment, transfer or disposition. No Units may be transferred (except
for a transfer in full) where, after the transfer, either the transferee or the transferor would
hold less than the number of Units equivalent to an initial minimum purchase, except for transfers
by gift, inheritance, intrafamily transfers, family dissolutions, and transfers to Affiliates.
12. Redemptions. A Limited Partner, or any assignee of Units of whom the General Partner has
received written notice as described above, may redeem all or, subject to the provisions of this
Section 12, a portion of his Units of a Series in an amount not less than $1,000.00 (such
redemption being herein referred to as a redemption) effective as of the close of business (as
determined by the General Partner) on the last day of any month; provided that: (i) all
liabilities, contingent or otherwise, associated with such Series, except any liability to Limited
Partners in such Series on account of their capital contributions, have been paid or there remains
property associated with such Series sufficient to pay them; (ii) the General Partner shall have
timely received a request for redemption, as provided in the following paragraph; and (iii) with
respect to a partial redemption, such Limited
A-11
Partner shall continue to hold Units of such Series at the time of, but after giving effect
to, the requested redemption with a net asset value equal to not less than the minimum initial
investment amount of $5,000.
Requests for redemption must be received by the General Partner at least five calendar days,
or such lesser period as shall be acceptable to the General Partner, in advance of the requested
effective date of redemption. The General Partner may declare additional redemption dates upon
notice to the Limited Partners of a Series as well as to those assignees of whom the General
Partner has received notice as described above.
Requests for redemption accepted by the General Partner are payable at the applicable
month-end Net Asset Value per Unit of the Series, or Sub-Series thereof, being redeemed. The
General Partner is authorized to liquidate positions to the extent it deems necessary or
appropriate to honor any such redemption requests.
If at the close of business (as determined by the General Partner) on any day, the Net Asset
Value per Unit of a Series, or Sub-Series thereof, has decreased to less than 50% of the Net Asset
Value per Unit of such Series, or Sub-Series thereof, as of the most recent month-end, after adding
back all distributions, the General Partner shall notify Limited Partners within such Series within
seven business days thereafter and shall liquidate all open positions with respect to such Series
as expeditiously as possible and suspend trading. Within ten business days after the date of
suspension of trading, the General Partner (and any other general partners of such Series) shall
declare a date (a Special Redemption Date) with respect to such Series. Such Special Redemption
Date shall be a business day within 30 business days from the date of suspension of trading by such
Series, and the General Partner shall mail notice of such date to each Limited Partner of such
Series and assignee of Units within such Series of whom it has received written notice, by
first-class mail, postage prepaid, not later than ten business days prior to such Special
Redemption Date, together with instructions as to the procedure such Limited Partner or assignee
must follow to have his interest in such Series redeemed on such date (only entire, not partial,
interests may be so redeemed unless otherwise determined by the General Partner). Upon redemption
pursuant to a Special Redemption Date, a Limited Partner or any other assignee of whom the General
Partner has received written notice as described above, shall receive from the applicable Series an
amount equal to the Net Asset Value of his interest in such Series, determined as of the close of
business (as determined by the General Partner) on such Special Redemption Date. As in the case of
a regular redemption, an assignee shall not be entitled to redemption until the General Partner has
received written notice (as described above) of the assignment, transfer or disposition under which
the assignee claims an interest in the Units to be redeemed. If, after such Special Redemption
Date, the Net Assets of such Series are at least $500,000 and the lowest Net Asset Value of a Unit
within such Series is in excess of $250, such Series may, in the discretion of the General Partner,
resume trading. The General Partner may at any time and in its discretion declare a Special
Redemption Date, should the General Partner determine that it is in the best interests of a Series
to do so. The General Partner in its notice of a Special Redemption Date may, in its discretion,
establish the conditions, if any, under which other Special Redemption Dates must be called, which
conditions may be determined in the sole discretion of the General Partner, irrespective of the
provisions of this paragraph. The General Partner may also, in its discretion, declare additional
regular redemption dates for Units within a Series.
Except as otherwise set forth above, redemption payments will be made within 20 business days
after the month-end of redemption, except that under special circumstances, including, but not
limited to, inability to value the Series assets or a part thereof or to liquidate dealers
positions as of a redemption date or default or delay in payments due a Series from clearing
brokers, banks or other persons or entities, such Series may in turn suspend redemptions, in full
or in part, until such inability, default or delay is remedied or delay payment to Limited Partners
or assignees requesting redemption of their Units of the proportionate part of the Net Asset Value
of such Units within such Series equal to the proportionate part of such Series aggregate Net
Asset Value represented by the sums which are the subject of such inability, default or delay. The
General Partner shall cause redemption payments to be sent to the last known addresses of the
Limited Partner requesting redemption; provided, however, that such Limited Partners shall cease to
be Limited Partners upon payment of the redemption amounts and such Limited Partners shall have no
claim against the assets of a Series in which they were Limited Partners except for such redemption
payments. If required by law, the General Partner may withhold payment of redemption proceeds to
any Limited Partner.
The General Partner may require a Limited Partner to redeem all or a portion of such Limited
Partners Units within a Series if the General Partner considers doing so to be desirable for the
protection of such Series, and will use reasonable efforts to do so to the extent necessary to
prevent the assets of each Series from being deemed to
A-12
constitute plan assets under Section 3(42) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended (ERISA), with respect to any employee benefit plan as defined in and subject
to ERISA or with respect to any plan as defined in and subject to Section 4975 of the Code.
13. Offering of Units. The General Partner on behalf of each Series shall (i) cause to be
filed a Registration Statement or Registration Statements, and such amendments thereto as the
General Partner deems advisable, with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the registration
and ongoing public offering of the Units, (ii) use reasonable efforts to qualify and to keep
qualified Units for sale under the securities laws of such States of the United States or other
jurisdictions as the General Partner shall deem advisable and (iii) take such action with respect
to the matters described in (i) and (ii) as the General Partner shall deem advisable or necessary.
The General Partner shall use reasonable efforts not to accept any subscriptions for Units if doing
so would cause the assets of a Series to constitute plan assets under Section 3(42) of ERISA with
respect to any employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or with respect to any plan or account
subject to Section 4975 of the Code. If such a Limited Partner has its subscription reduced for
such reason, such Limited Partner shall be entitled to rescind its subscription in its entirety
even though subscriptions are otherwise irrevocable.
14. Additional Offerings. The General Partner may, in its discretion, make additional public
or private offerings of Units, provided that the net proceeds to a Series of any such sales of
additional Units of such Series shall in no event be less than the Net Asset Value per Unit within
such Series, or the applicable Sub-Series thereof, (as defined in Section 5(e) hereof) at the time
of sale (unless the new Units participation in the profits and losses of such Series is
appropriately adjusted). No Limited Partner shall have any preemptive, preferential or other rights
with respect to the issuance or sale of any additional Units, other than as set forth in the
preceding sentence. The Partnership may, without the consent of any Limited Partner, offer
different Series or Sub-Series of Units having different economic terms than previously offered
Series or Sub-Series of Units as determined by the General Partner; provided that the issuance of
such a new Series of Units shall have no material adverse effect on the holders of outstanding
Units; and provided further that the assets attributable to each such Series shall, to the maximum
extent permitted by law, be treated as legally separate and distinct pools of assets, and the
assets attributable to one such Series be prevented from being used in any respect to satisfy or
discharge any debt or obligation of any other such Series.
15. Special Power of Attorney. Each Limited Partner does hereby irrevocably constitute and
appoint the General Partner and each officer of the General Partner, with power of substitution, as
his true and lawful attorney-in-fact, in his name, place and stead, to execute, acknowledge, swear
to (and deliver as may be appropriate) on his behalf and file and record in the appropriate public
offices and publish (as may in the reasonable judgment of the General Partner be required by law):
(i) this Agreement, including any amendments and/or restatements hereto duly adopted as provided
herein; (ii) certificates in various jurisdictions, and amendments and/or restatements thereto, and
of assumed name or of doing business under a fictitious name with respect to each Series or the
Partnership; (iii) all conveyances and other instruments which the General Partner deems
appropriate to qualify or continue each Series or the Partnership in the State of Delaware and the
jurisdictions in which each Series or the Partnership may conduct business, or which may be
required to be filed by each Series or the Limited Partners under the laws of any jurisdiction or
under any amendments or successor statutes to the Act, to reflect the dissolution or termination of
each Series or the Partnership, or each Series or the Partnership being governed by any amendments
or successor statutes to the Act or to reorganize or refile each Series or the Partnership in a
different jurisdiction; and (iv) to file, prosecute, defend, settle or compromise litigation,
claims or arbitrations on behalf of each Series. The Power of Attorney granted herein shall be
irrevocable and deemed to be a power coupled with an interest (including, without limitation, the
interest of the other Limited Partners in the General Partner being able to rely on the General
Partners authority to act as contemplated by this Section 15) and shall survive and shall not be
affected by the subsequent incapacity, disability or death of a Limited Partner.
16. Withdrawal. The General Partner may withdraw from each Series, without any breach of this
Agreement, at any time upon 120 days written notice by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each
Limited Partner of such Series and assignee of whom the General Partner has notice; provided, that
such resignation shall not become effective unless and until a successor general partner is in
place. If the General Partner withdraws as general partner with respect to a Series and such
Series business is continued, the withdrawing General Partner shall pay all expenses incurred
directly as a result of its withdrawal. In the event of the General Partners removal or
withdrawal, with respect to a Series, the General Partner shall be entitled to a redemption of its
interest in such Series at its Net
A-13
Asset Value with respect to such Series on the next closing date following the date of removal
or withdrawal. The General Partner may not assign its interest in the Partnership or its obligation
to direct the trading of each Series assets without the consent of each Limited Partner of the
affected Series. The death, incompetency, withdrawal, insolvency or dissolution of a Limited
Partner or any other event that causes a Limited Partner to cease to be a Limited Partner (within
the meaning of the Act) in a Series shall not terminate or dissolve such Series, and a Limited
Partner, his estate, custodian or personal representative shall have no right to redeem or value
such Limited Partners interest in such Series except as provided in Section 12 hereof. Each
Limited Partner within a Series agrees that in the event of his death, he waives on behalf of
himself and his estate, and directs the legal representatives of his estate and any person
interested therein to waive, the furnishing of any inventory, accounting or appraisal of the assets
of such Series or the Partnership and any right to an audit or examination of the books of such
Series or the Partnership. Nothing in this Section 16 shall, however, waive any right given
elsewhere in this Agreement for a Limited Partner to be informed of the Net Asset Value of his
Units (valued in U.S. dollars and in ounces of gold), to receive periodic reports, audited
financial statements and other information from the General Partner or to redeem or transfer Units.
17. Standard of Liability; Indemnification.
(a) Standard of Liability for the General Partner. The General Partner and its
Affiliates, as defined below, shall have no liability to any Series or to any Limited
Partner of such Series for any loss suffered by such Series or such Limited Partner which
arises out of any action or inaction of the General Partner or its Affiliates if the General
Partner, in good faith, determined that such course of conduct was in the best interests of
such Series and such course of conduct did not constitute negligence or misconduct of the
General Partner or its Affiliates.
(b) Indemnification of the General Partner by each Series. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, subject to this Section 17, the General Partner and its Affiliates (as
defined below) shall be indemnified by each Series against any losses, judgments,
liabilities, expenses and amounts paid in settlement of any claims sustained by them in
connection with such Series; provided that such claims were not the result of negligence or
misconduct on the part of the General Partner or its Affiliates, and the General Partner, in
good faith, determined that such conduct was in the best interests of such Series; and
provided further that Affiliates of the General Partner shall be entitled to indemnification
only for losses incurred by such Affiliates in performing the duties of the General Partner
with respect to such Series and acting wholly within the scope of the authority of the
General Partner. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding two
paragraphs, the General Partner and its Affiliates and any persons acting as selling agents
for the Units shall not be indemnified for any losses, liabilities or expenses arising from
or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws unless (1) there has been
a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law
violations as to the particular indemnitee and the court approves indemnification of the
litigation costs, or (2) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a
court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee and the court approves
indemnification of the litigation costs, or (3) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a
settlement of the claims against a particular indemnitee and finds that indemnification of
the settlement and related costs should be made. In any claim for indemnification for
federal or state securities law violations, the party seeking indemnification shall place
before the court the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the California
Department of Corporations, the Massachusetts Securities Division, the Missouri Securities
Division, the Pennsylvania Securities Commission, the Tennessee Securities Division, the
Texas Securities Board and any other state or applicable regulatory authority with respect
to the issue of indemnification for securities law violations. Each Series shall not bear
the cost of that portion of any insurance which insures any party against any liability the
indemnification of which is herein prohibited. For the purposes of this Section 17, an
Affiliate of any person (including any entity) means (a) any person (including any entity)
directly or indirectly owning, controlling or holding with power to vote 10% or more of the
outstanding voting securities of such person; (b) any person (including any entity) 10% or
more of whose outstanding voting securities are directly or indirectly owned, controlled or
held with power to vote, by such person; (c) any person (including any entity) directly, or
indirectly, controlling, controlled by, or under common control of such person; (d) any
officer, director or partner of such person (including an entity); or (e) if such person is
an officer, director or partner, any person (including any entity) for which such person
acts in any such capacity. Advances from a Series Estate to
A-14
the General Partner and its Affiliates for legal expenses and other costs incurred as a
result of any legal action initiated against the General Partner by a Limited Partner are
prohibited. Advances from any Series Estate to the General Partner and its Affiliates for
legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of a legal action will be made only if
the following three conditions are satisfied: (1) the legal action relates to the
performance of duties or services by the General Partner or its Affiliates on behalf of such
Series; (2) the legal action is initiated by a third party who is not a Limited Partner; and
(3) the General Partner or its Affiliates undertake to repay the advanced funds, with
interest from the date of such advance, to such Series in cases in which they would not be
entitled to indemnification under the standard of liability set forth in Section 17(a). In
no event shall any indemnity or exculpation provided for herein be more favorable to the
General Partner or any Affiliate than that contemplated by the NASAA Guidelines as currently
in effect. In no event shall any indemnification permitted by this subsection (b) of Section
17 be made by a Series unless all provisions of this Section for the payment of
indemnification have been complied with in all respects. Any indemnification payable by a
Series hereunder shall be made only as provided in the specific case. In no event shall any
indemnification obligations of a Series under this subsection (b) of this Section 17 subject
a Limited Partner to any liability in excess of that contemplated by subsection (e) of
Section 8 hereof.
(c) Indemnification of each Series by the Limited Partners. In the event a Series is
made a party to any claim, dispute or litigation or otherwise incurs any loss or expense as
a result of or in connection with any of such Series Limited Partners activities,
obligations or liabilities unrelated to such Series business, such Limited Partner shall
indemnify and reimburse such Series for all loss and expense incurred, including reasonable
attorneys fees.
18. Amendments; Meetings.
(a) Amendments with Consent of the General Partner. The General Partner may amend this
Agreement with the approval of more than fifty percent (50%) of the Units then owned by
Limited Partners of each Series. No meeting procedure or specified notice period is required
in the case of amendments made with the consent of the General Partner, mere receipt of an
adequate number of unrevoked written consents from Limited Partners of each Series being
sufficient. The General Partner may amend this Agreement without the consent of the Limited
Partners of each Series in order (i) to clarify any clerical inaccuracy or ambiguity or
reconcile any inconsistency (including any inconsistency between this Agreement and the
Prospectus), (ii) to effect the intent of the tax allocations proposed herein to the maximum
extent possible in the event of a change in the Code or Treasury Regulations or the
interpretations thereof affecting such allocations, (iii) to attempt to ensure that either
Series is not treated as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax
purposes, (iv) to qualify or maintain the qualification of the Partnership as a limited
partnership in any jurisdiction, (v) to delete or add any provision of or to this Agreement
required to be deleted or added by the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission or
any other federal agency or any state Blue Sky official or similar official or in order to
opt to be governed by any amendment or successor statute to the Act, (vi) to make any
amendment to this Agreement which the General Partner deems advisable, including amendments
that reflect the offering and issuance of additional Units, whether or not issued through a
Series, provided that such amendment is for the benefit of or not adverse to the Limited
Partners of any Series, or that is required by law, and (vii) to make any amendment that is
appropriate or necessary, in the opinion of the general partner, to prevent each Series or
the General Partner or its directors, officers or controlling persons from in any manner
being subjected to the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or to
prevent the assets of either Series from being considered for any purpose of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code to constitute assets of any employee benefit plan as defined in
and subject to ERISA or of any plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code (or any
corresponding provisions of succeeding law) or to avoid any Series from engaging in a
prohibited transaction as defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975(c) of the Code.
(b) Amendments and Actions without Consent of the General Partner. In any vote called
by the General Partner or pursuant to section (c) of this Section 18, upon the affirmative
vote (which may be in person or by proxy) of more than fifty percent (50%) of the Units then
owned by Limited Partners of each Series (or, if applicable, the relevant Series), the
following actions may be taken, irrespective of whether
A-15
the General Partner concurs: (i) this Agreement may be amended, provided, however,
that approval of all Limited Partners of each Series shall be required in the case of
amendments changing or altering this Section 18; in addition, reduction of the capital
account of any Limited Partner or assignee or modification of the percentage of profits,
losses or distributions to which a Limited Partner or an assignee is entitled hereunder
shall not be effected by any amendment or supplement to this Agreement without such Limited
Partners or assignees written consent; (ii) each Series or the Partnership may be
dissolved; (iii) the General Partner may be removed and replaced with respect to one or more
Series; (iv) a new general partner or general partners may be elected if the General Partner
withdraws from each Series; (v) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of each
Series may be approved; and (vi) any contract with the General Partner or any affiliate
thereof may be disapproved of and, as a result, terminated upon 60 days notice.
(c) Meetings; Other Voting Matters. A Limited Partner in either Series upon request
addressed to the General Partner shall be entitled to obtain from the General Partner, upon
payment in advance of reasonable reproduction and mailing costs, a list of the names and
addresses of record of all Limited Partners within such Series and the number of Units held
by each (which shall be mailed by the General Partner to the Limited Partner within ten days
of the receipt of the request); provided, that the General Partner may require any Limited
Partner requesting such information to submit written confirmation that such information
will not be used for commercial purposes and will only be used for a legitimate purpose
related to such person being a Limited Partner. Upon receipt of a written proposal, signed
by Limited Partners owning Units representing at least 10% of the Units then owned by
Limited Partners, that a meeting of such Series be called to vote upon any matter upon which
the Limited Partners may vote pursuant to this Agreement, the General Partner shall, by
written notice to each Limited Partner within that Series of record sent by certified mail
within 15 days after such receipt, call a meeting of such Series or the Partnership. Such
meeting shall be held at least 30 but not more than 60 days after the receipt of such
notice, and such notice shall specify the date of, a reasonable place and time for, and the
purpose of such meeting. The General Partner may not restrict the voting rights of Limited
Partners as set forth herein. In the event that the General Partner or the Limited Partners
vote to amend this Agreement with respect to such Series in any material respect, the
amendment will not become effective prior to all Limited Partners in such Series having an
opportunity to redeem their Units.
19. Miscellaneous.
(a) Notices. All notices under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be
effective upon personal delivery, or if sent by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed
to the last known address of the party to whom such notice is to be given, upon the deposit
of such notice in the United States mail.
(b) Binding Effect. This Agreement shall inure to and be binding upon all of the
parties, all parties indemnified under Section 17 hereof, and their respective successors
and assigns, custodians, estates, heirs and personal representatives. For purposes of
determining the rights of any Limited Partner or assignee hereunder, each Series and the
Partnership, the General Partner may rely upon each Series records as to who are Limited
Partners and assignees of such Series, and all Limited Partners and assignees agree that
their rights shall be determined and they shall be bound thereby.
(c) Captions. Captions in no way define, limit, extend or describe the scope of this
Agreement nor the effect of any of its provisions. Any reference to persons in this
Agreement shall also be deemed to include entities, unless the context otherwise requires.
(d) Governing Law. The validity and construction of this Agreement shall be determined
and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, specifically including the Act, without
regard to principals of conflicts of law; provided, however, that the foregoing choice of
law shall not restrict the application of any states securities laws to the sale of Units
to its residents or within such state.
20. Investment in Accordance with Law. Each Limited Partner that is an employee benefit plan
as defined in, and subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA, or a plan as
defined in and subject to Section 4975 of the Code (each such employee benefit plan and plan, a
Plan), or any entity deemed for any
A-16
purpose of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code to hold assets of any Plan and each fiduciary
thereof who has caused the Plan to become a Limited Partner (a Plan Fiduciary), represents and
warrants that:
(a) the Plan Fiduciary has considered an investment in each Series for such Plan in
light of the risks relating thereto;
(b) the Plan Fiduciary has determined that, in view of such considerations, the
investment in each Series for such Plan is consistent with the Plan Fiduciarys
responsibilities under ERISA;
(c) the investment in a Series by the Plan does not violate and is not otherwise
inconsistent with the terms of any legal document constituting the Plan or any trust
agreement thereunder;
(d) the Plans investment in a Series has been duly authorized and approved by all
necessary parties;
(e) none of the General Partner, any additional selling agent, any clearing broker, the
escrow agent, any broker or dealer through which each Series trades, the administrator, any
wholesaler, Superfund Asset Management, Inc., Superfund USA, Inc., any of their respective
affiliates or any of their respective agents or employees: (i) has investment discretion
with respect to the investment of assets of the Plan used to purchase the Units; (ii) has
authority or responsibility to or regularly gives investment advice with respect to the
assets of the Plan used to purchase the Units for a fee and pursuant to an agreement or
understanding that such advice will serve as a primary basis for investment decisions with
respect to the Plan and that such advice will be based on the particular investment needs of
the Plan; or (iii) is an employer maintaining or contributing to the Plan; and
(f) the Plan Fiduciary: (i) is authorized to make, and is responsible for, the
decision for the Plan to invest in each Series, including the determination that such
investment is consistent with the requirement imposed by Section 404 of ERISA that Plan
investments be diversified so as to the risks of large losses; (ii) is independent of the
General Partner, each additional selling agent, each clearing broker, the escrow agent, each
broker or dealer through which each Series trades, the administrator, each wholesaler,
Superfund Asset Management, Inc., Superfund USA, Inc., and each of their respective
affiliates; and (iii) is qualified to make such investment decision.
21. Disclosures and Restrictions Regarding Benefit Plan Investors. Each Limited Partner that
is a benefit plan investor (defined as any Plan and any entity (Plan Assets Entity) deemed for
any purpose of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code to hold assets of any Plan) represents that the
individual signing the Subscription Agreement and Power of Attorney on behalf of such Limited
Partner has disclosed such Limited Partners status as a benefit plan investor by accurately
responding to the applicable questions in the Subscription Agreement and Power of Attorney. Each
Limited Partner that is not a benefit plan investor represents and agrees that if at a later date
such Limited Partner becomes a benefit plan investor, such Limited Partner will immediately notify
the General Partner of such change of status. In addition, each Plan Assets Entity agrees to
promptly provide information to the General Partner, upon the General Partners reasonable request,
regarding the percentage of the Plan Assets Entitys equity interests held by benefit plan
investors. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the General Partner, on behalf of a
Series, may take any and all action including, but not limited to, refusing to admit persons as
Limited Partners or refusing to accept additional capital contributions, and requiring the
redemption of the Units of any Limited Partner in accordance with Section 12 hereof, as may be
necessary or desirable to assure that at all times less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total
value of each class of equity interests in a Series, as determined pursuant to United States
Department of Labor Regulation Section 2510.3-101 and Section 3(42) of ERISA, is held by benefit
plan investors (not including the investments of the General Partner, any person who provides
investment advice for a fee (direct or indirect) with respect to a Series and individuals and
entities (other than benefit plan investors) that are affiliates, as such term is defined in the
applicable regulation promulgated under ERISA, of any such person) or to otherwise prevent such
Series from holding plan assets under Section 3(42) of ERISA.

subscription is received at least five business days prior to such month-end, as described in the
prospectus dated [ ], 2011 (the Prospectus). The minimum subscription is $5,000 per

Purchaser agrees to contribute Purchasers subscription to the Series subscribed for and to accept
the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of the Fund, as amended

agrees to reimburse each Series and Superfund Capital Management, Inc. (the General Partner), as
general partner, for any expense or loss incurred as a result of the cancellation of Purchasers
Units due to a failure of Purchaser to deliver good funds in the amount of the subscription price.
By execution of the Subscription Agreement, Purchaser shall be deemed to accept and agree to the
terms of the Partnership Agreement as if Purchaser had executed the Partnership Agreement. As an
inducement to the General Partner to accept this subscription, Purchaser (for the Purchaser and, if
Purchaser is an entity, on behalf of and with respect to each of purchasers shareholders,
partners, members or beneficiaries), by executing and delivering Purchasers Subscription

information that Purchaser has furnished to the General Partner or that is set forth in the
Subscription Agreement submitted by Purchaser is correct and complete as of the date of such
Subscription Agreement, and if there should be any change in such information prior to acceptance
of Purchasers subscription, Purchaser will immediately furnish such revised or corrected
information to the General Partner. (d) Unless (e) or (f) below is applicable, Purchasers
subscription is made with Purchasers funds for Purchasers own account and not as trustee,
custodian or nominee for another. (e) The subscription, if made as custodian for a minor, is a gift
Purchaser has made to such minor and is not made with such minors funds or, if not a gift, the

6. Minnesota By executing the Subscription Agreement of the Fund, a Minnesota Purchaser is
deemed to represent and warrant to the Fund that such person is an accredited investor as defined
in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act of 1933. An accredited investor includes: (1) any natural
person whose individual net worth, or joint net worth with that persons spouse, at the time of
such persons purchase of the Units exceeds $1,000,000 (excluding the value of such persons

which the current market value of the residence exceeds the current outstanding balance of any
mortgage or other indebtedness secured by the residence). If the current outstanding balance of
any such mortgage or other indebtedness exceeds the current market value of the residence, the

such mortgage or other indebtedness gives the lender recourse to the assets of such person other
than the residence securing the mortgage or other indebtedness.

fees payable under the Guidelines for Registration of Commodity Pool Programs (the Guidelines)
adopted by the North American Securities Administrators Association, and may, under certain
circumstances, result in the General Partner receiving combined management and incentive fees that
exceed the maximum compensation permitted by the Guidelines.

and the management and control of the Fund by Superfund Capital Management in connection with an investment in the Fund, and that the investor will incur
sales commission charges with respect to the Units acquired as a result of this Series Exchange without regard to sales commissions previously paid. I have
reasonable grounds to believe that, based on the information obtained from this investor concerning his/her investment objectives, other investments, financial
situation, and needs and any other information known to me, that the Series Exchange from an investment in Series q A or q B (check applicable box) to an
investment in the other Series is suitable for such investor in light of his/her/their investment objectives and suitability characteristics.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 17 of the Partnership Agreement (attached as Exhibit A to the Prospectus which forms a
part of this Post Effective Amendment No. 3 to the Registrants Registration Statement) provides
for the indemnification of the General Partner and certain of its controlling persons by each
Series in certain circumstances. Such indemnification is limited to claims sustained by such
persons in connection with each Series; provided that such claims were not the result of negligence
or misconduct on the part of the General Partner or such controlling persons. Each Series is
prohibited from incurring the cost of any insurance covering any broader indemnification than that
provided above. Advances of each Series funds to cover legal expenses and other costs incurred as
a result of any legal action initiated against the General Partner by a Limited Partner are
prohibited.
Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
On May 23, 2008, the Registrant sold one unit of Series A Limited Partnership Interest and one
unit of Series B Limited Partnership Interest to the Initial Limited Partner in preparation for the
filing of Registrants Registration Statement on Form S-1. The sale of these units was exempt from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof. No discounts or
commissions were paid in connection with the sale, and no other offeree or purchaser was solicited.
There have been no other sales of unregistered securities of the Registrant.

Item 17.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post effective
amendment to this registration statement;
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1933 (the Securities Act of 1933);
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease
in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not
exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of a prospectus filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth
in the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective registration statement.
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement. Provide, however, that:
(A) Paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the
registration statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included
in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with
or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Securities Exchange Act
of 1934) (15 U.S.C. 78m or 78o(d)) that are incorporated by reference in the
registration statement; and
(B) Paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not
apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form F-3 and the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant
pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that
are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a
form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration
statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
II-2
(4) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
Prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an
offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than Prospectuses filed
in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement
as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a
registration statement or Prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a
document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or
Prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of
contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the
registration statement or Prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any
such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any
purchaser:
(ii) If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule
424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration
statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A,
shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it
is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a
registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a
document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or
prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of
contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in
the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made
in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(6) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act
of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant
undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this
registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the
purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following
communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered
to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to
the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of
the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering
containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided
by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned
registrant to the purchaser.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the
information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in
reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to
Rule 424(b)(1) or (4), or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
II-3
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
provisions described in Item 14 above, or otherwise, the Registrant had been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim
for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful
defense of any such action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
