NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

_______________

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A. General Description of the Partnership

Altegris QIM Futures Fund, L.P. (the “Partnership”) was organized as a Delaware limited partnership in June 2009. The Partnership's general partner is Altegris Advisors, L.L.C. (the “General Partner”). The General Partner has overall responsibility for the management, operation and administration of the Partnership, including the selection of its commodity trading adviser. The Partnership’s trading activities are conducted pursuant to an advisory contract with Quantitative Investment Management LLC (the “Advisor”). The Partnership speculatively trades commodity futures contracts, and may trade options on futures contracts, forward currency contracts and other commodity interests. The objective of the Partnership’s business is appreciation of its assets. It is subject to the regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”), an agency of the United States (“U.S.”) government that regulates most aspects of the commodity futures industry; rules of the National Futures Association, an industry self-regulatory organization; and the requirements of commodity exchanges and futures commission merchants (brokers) through which the Partnership trades.

The General Partner is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under the U.S. Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, as an investment adviser and is registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) as a commodity pool operator, and is a member of the National Futures Association, an industry self-regulatory organization.

B. Method of Reporting

The Partnership’s financial statements are presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Partnership follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported fair value of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and reported amounts of income and expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing the Partnership’s financial statements are reasonable; however, actual results could differ from these estimates and it is reasonably possible that the differences could be material.

The financial information included herein is unaudited; however, such financial information reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements for the interim period.

C. Fair Value

In accordance with the authoritative guidance under U.S. GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e. the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

7

ALTEGRIS QIM FUTURES FUND, L.P.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

_______________

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

C. Fair Value (continued)

In determining fair value, the Partnership uses various valuation approaches. The authoritative guidance under U.S. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Partnership.

Unobservable inputs reflect the Partnership’s assumption about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Partnership has the ability to access at the measurement date;

Level 2 – Quoted prices which are not active, or inputs that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

Level 3 – Prices, inputs or exotic modeling techniques which are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

The availability of valuation techniques and observable inputs can vary among assets and liabilities and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including the type of asset or liability, whether the asset or liability is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Those estimated values do not necessarily represent the amounts that may be ultimately realized due to the occurrence of future circumstances that cannot be reasonably determined. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the asset or liability existed. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Partnership in determining fair value is greatest for assets and liabilities categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

C. Fair Value (continued)

Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Partnership’s own assumptions are set to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Partnership uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including prices and inputs during periods of market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many assets and liabilities. This condition could cause an asset or liability to be reclassified to a lower level within the fair value hierarchy. The Partnership values futures contracts at the closing price of the contract’s primary exchange. The Partnership includes futures contracts in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, as they are exchange traded derivatives.

The fair value of U.S. government agency bonds and notes is generally based on quoted prices in active markets. When quoted prices are not available, fair value is determined based on a valuation model that uses inputs that include interest-rate yield curves, cross-currency-basis index spreads, and country credit spreads similar to the bond in terms of issue, maturity and seniority. U.S. government agency bonds and notes are generally categorized in Level I or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, none of the Partnership’s holdings in U.S. government agency bonds and notes were fair valued using valuation models.

The fair value of corporate notes is determined using recently executed transactions, market price quotations (where observable), notes spreads or credit default swap spreads. The spread data used are for the same maturity as that of the notes. If the spread data does not reference the issuer, data that references a comparable issuer is used. When observable price quotations are not available, fair value is determined based on cash flow models with yield curves, bond, or single-name credit default swap spreads and recovery rates based on collateral values as key inputs. These valuation methods represent both a market and income approach to fair value measurement. Corporate notes are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; however, in instances where significant inputs are unobservable, they are categorized in Level 3 of the hierarchy. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, none of the Partnership’s holdings in corporate notes were fair valued using valuation models.

The fair value of certificates of deposit is determined based on a constant maturity curve for comparable instruments denominated in USD. This valuation method represents both a market and income approach to fair value measurement. Certificates of deposit are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

D.    Investment Transactions and Investment Income

Security transactions are recorded on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined using the specific identification cost method. Change in net unrealized gain or loss from the preceding period is reported in the Statements of Income (Loss). Brokerage commissions on securities and other trading fees are reflected as an adjustment to cost or proceeds at the time of the transaction. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.

Gains or losses on futures contracts are realized when contracts are closed. Net unrealized gains or losses on open contracts (the difference between contract trade price and quoted market price) are reflected in the Statements of Financial Condition. Any change in net unrealized gain or loss from the preceding period is reported in the Statements of Income (Loss). Brokerage commissions on futures contracts include other trading fees and are recognized as trading gains and losses.

Net realized gains and losses from foreign currency related transactions represent gains and losses from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses realized between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Partnership’s books and the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized gain (loss) on other assets and other liabilities denominated in foreign currency arise from changes in the value of assets, other than investments in securities, and liabilities at quarter end, resulting from changes in the exchange rates.

J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Custodian”) is the Partnership’s custodian. SG Americas Securities, LLC (the “Clearing Broker”) is the Partnership’s commodity broker. A portion of the Partnership’s assets are held as initial margin or option premiums (in cash or Treasury securities) in the Partnership’s brokerage accounts at the Clearing Broker. The Clearing Broker may convert the Partnership’s cash in U.S. dollar to foreign currency to facilitate the Partnership’s commodity trading activities. At times, the Partnership may carry foreign cash on loan with the Clearing Broker. Any net foreign currency on loan will be recognized in Foreign Currency Due from Broker/Due to Broker on the Statements of Financial Condition. The Partnership’s Clearing Broker holds margin balances in a single currency, in which all margin requirements can be satisfied in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency balances can also be used to satisfy margin requirements. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Partnership’s Segregated cash balance on the Statements of Financial Condition of $266,179 and $1,247,462, respectively, represents the collateral pledged by the Partnership to satisfy the Clearing Broker’s margin requirements in US Dollars. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Partnership’s Segregated foreign currency due from/to broker balance on the Statements of Financial Condition of $12,110 and $(31,582), respectively, represents the collateral owed by the Partnership to satisfy the Clearing Broker’s margin requirements in foreign currency. The Partnership’s assets not deposited at the Clearing Broker are deposited with either the Custodian or held in bank cash accounts at Northern Trust Company (and used to pay Partnership operating expenses). For the Partnership’s cash deposited at the Custodian, the Partnership receives cash management services from J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM”).

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

E. Futures Contracts

The Partnership engages in futures contracts as part of its investment strategy. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Partnership is required to deposit with the broker an amount of cash or cash equivalents equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This is known as the “initial margin.” Subsequent payments (“variation margin”) are made or received by the Partnership each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract, and are included in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts. Due from/Due to broker amounts on the Statements of Financial Condition represent receivables / payables related to the Partnership’s required cash margin. The Partnership recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed.

There are several risks in connection with the use of futures contracts as an investment option. The change in value of futures contracts primarily corresponds with the value of their underlying instruments. In addition, there is the risk that the Partnership may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market. Open positions in futures contracts at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are reflected within the Condensed Schedules of Investments.

F. Foreign Currency Transactions

The Partnership’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar; however, it transacts business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect at the date of the Statements of Financial Condition.  Income and expense items denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect during the period. Gains and losses resulting from the translation to U.S. dollars are reported in the Statements of Income (Loss).

G. Cash

The Partnership maintains a custody account with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Northern Trust Company. At times, the Partnership’s cash balance could exceed the insured amount under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Partnership has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not subject to any significant counterparty risk related to its cash account.

Both Segregated cash and Segregated foreign currency are held as margin collateral deposits for futures transactions.

H. Income Taxes

The Partnership is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As such, the partners are individually liable for their own distributable share of taxable income or loss. No provision has been made in the accompanying financial statements for U.S., federal, state, or local income taxes.

The Partnership is required to determine whether its tax positions are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant taxing authority. De-recognition of a tax benefit previously recognized results in the Partnership recording a tax liability that reduces ending partners’ capital. Based on its analysis, the Partnership has determined that it has not incurred any liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. However, the Partnership’s conclusions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. The Partnership is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities for all tax years since 2016.

The Partnership recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and other expenses, respectively. No interest expense or penalties have been recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

NOTE 2 - PARTNERS’ CAPITAL

A. Capital Accounts and Allocation of Income and Loss

The Partnership accounts for subscriptions and redemptions on a per partner capital account basis.

The Partnership consists of the General Partner’s Interest, Class A Interests, Class B Interests and Institutional Interests (collectively referred to as “Interests”). Income or loss (prior to management fees, administrative fees, service fees and incentive fees) is allocated pro rata among the Limited Partners (each, a “Limited Partner” and collectively the “Limited Partners”) based on their respective capital accounts as of the end of each month in which the items accrue, pursuant to the terms of the Partnership’s Agreement of Limited Partnership (the “Agreement”), as may be amended and restated from time to time. Class A Interests, Class B Interests and Institutional Interests are then charged with their applicable management fee, administrative fee, service fee and incentive fee in accordance with the Agreement.

NOTE 2 - PARTNERS’ CAPITAL (CONTINUED)

B. Subscriptions, Distributions and Redemptions

No Limited Partner of the Partnership shall be liable for any debts or liabilities of the Partnership or any losses thereof in excess of such Limited Partner's capital contributions, except as may be required by law.

Investments in the Partnership are made by subscription agreement, subject to acceptance by the General Partner.

The Partnership is not required to make distributions, but may do so at the sole discretion of the General Partner. A Limited Partner may request and receive redemption of capital, subject to restrictions set forth in the Agreement. The General Partner may request and receive redemption of capital, subject to the same terms as any Limited Partner. The partners may withdraw their interests on a monthly basis upon at least 15 days’ prior written notice, subject to the discretion of the General Partner. No distributions were made for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

A. General Partner Management Fee

The General Partner receives a monthly management fee from the Partnership equal to 0.104% (1.25% annually) for Class A and Class B, and 0.0625% (0.75% annually) for Institutional Interests of the Partnership's net asset value apportioned to each Partner’s capital account at the beginning of the month, before deduction of any accrued incentive fees related to the current quarter (the “management fee net asset value”). The General Partner may declare any Limited Partner a “Special Limited Partner” and the management fees or incentive fees charged to any such partner may be different than those charged to other Limited Partners. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, there were no Special Limited Partners.

Total management fees earned by the General Partner for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 are shown on the Statements of Income (Loss) as Management Fee.

B. Administrative Fee

The General Partner receives a monthly administrative fee from the Partnership equal to 0.0275% (0.33% annually) of the Partnership's management fee net asset value attributable to Class A and Class B Interests. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, administrative fees for Class A Interests were $3,892 and $14,128, respectively, and administrative fees for Class B Interests were $2,645 and $9,025, respectively.

If actual commissions and expenses paid to the Clearing Broker in a month (in (A) above) are less than the Minimum Amount, the Partnership will pay to the Introducing Broker the difference as payment for brokerage-related services, including, but not limited to, monitoring trade, execution, clearing, custodial and distribution services provided to the Partnership. If actual commissions and expenses paid to the Clearing Broker in a month (in (A) above) are greater than the Minimum Amount, the Partnership pays only the amounts described in (A) above.

NOTE 7 - FINANCIAL DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Partnership engages in the speculative trading of futures contracts for the purpose of achieving capital appreciation. None of the Partnership’s derivative instruments are designated as hedging instruments, as defined in the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), nor are they used for other risk management purposes. The Advisor and General Partner actively assess, manage and monitor risk exposure on derivatives on a contract basis, a sector basis (e.g., interest rate derivatives, agricultural derivatives, etc.), and on an overall basis in accordance with established risk parameters. Due to the speculative nature of the Partnership’s derivative trading activity, the Partnership is subject to the risk of substantial losses from derivatives trading.

NOTE 8 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Partnership participates in the speculative trading of commodity futures contracts, substantially all of which are subject to margin requirements. The minimum amount of margin required for each contract is set from time to time in response to various market factors by the respective exchanges and interbank market makers. Further, the Clearing Broker has the right to require margin in excess of the minimum exchange requirement. Risk arises from changes in the value of these contracts (market risk) and the potential inability of brokers or interbank market makers to perform under the terms of their contracts (credit risk).

All of the contracts currently traded by the Partnership are exchange traded. The risks associated with exchange-traded contracts are generally perceived to be less than those associated with over-the-counter transactions because, in over-the-counter transactions, the Partnership must rely solely on the credit of its respective individual counterparties. However, in the future, if the Partnership were to enter into non-exchange traded contracts, it would be subject to the credit risk associated with counterparty non-performance. The credit risk from counterparty non-performance associated with such instruments is the net unrealized gain, if any.

The Partnership also has credit risk because the sole counterparty to all domestic futures contracts is the exchange clearing corporation. In addition, the Partnership bears the risk of financial failure by the Clearing Broker. The Partnership's policy is to continuously monitor its exposure to market and counterparty risk through the use of a variety of financial position and credit exposure reporting and control procedures. In addition, the Partnership has a policy of reviewing the credit standing of each clearing broker or counterparty with which it conducts business.

The Partnership has a substantial portion of its assets on deposit with the Custodian in U.S. government agency bonds and notes, corporate notes and certificates of deposit. Risks arise from investments in bonds and notes due to possible illiquidity and the potential for default by the issuer or counterparty. Such instruments are also sensitive to changes in interest rates and economic conditions.

NOTE 9 - INDEMNIFICATIONS

In the normal course of business, the Partnership enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Partnership’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Partnership that have not yet occurred. The Partnership expects the risk of any future obligation under these indemnifications to be remote.

NOTE 11 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management of the Partnership evaluated subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued, and concluded that no events subsequent to September 30, 2020 have occurred that would require recognition or disclosure, except as noted below.

From October 1, 2020 through November 11, 2020, the Partnership had redemptions of $163,603.

On September 9, 2020, Artivest Holdings, Inc. (“Artivest”), the current parent company of the General Partner publicly announced the entry into a definitive agreement with Altegris Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”) to sell all of the outstanding ownership interests of the General Partner to Holdings (the “Acquisition”). Holdings is a newly-formed holding company that will, as of the closing of the Acquisition, be owned by Continuum Capital Managers, LLC (“Continuum”) and AV5 Acquisition, LLC (“AV5”).  AV5 is a newly-formed holding company that is solely owned by Matthew C. Osborne.  Subsequent to the quarter ending September 30, 2020, Holdings will acquire the General Partner and all related assets from Artivest, including its commodity pool business. The close of this transaction is contemplated to be completed at or about December 31, 2020, or as soon thereafter as possible, at which time the General Partner will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings, its new parent company and which will be controlled by  Mr. Osborne (through his ownership of AV5) and Continuum.

PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Reference is made to “Item 1: Financial Statements.” The information contained therein is essential to, and should be read in conjunction with, the following analysis.

Liquidity

The Partnership’s assets are generally held as cash or cash equivalents, which are used to margin the Partnership’s futures positions and are sold to pay redemptions and expenses as needed. Other than any potential market-imposed limitations on liquidity, the Partnership’s assets are highly liquid and are expected to remain so. Market-imposed limitations, when they occur, can be due to limited open interest in certain futures markets or to daily price fluctuation limits, which are inherent in the Partnership’s futures trading. A portion of the Partnership’s assets not used for margin and held with the Custodian are invested in liquid, high quality securities. Through September 30, 2020, the Partnership experienced no meaningful periods of illiquidity in any of the markets traded by the Advisor on behalf of the Partnership.

Capital Resources

The Partnership raises additional capital only through the sale of Interests and capital is increased through trading profits (if any) and interest income. The Partnership does not engage in borrowing.

The amount of capital raised for the Partnership should not have a significant impact on its operations, as the Partnership has no significant capital expenditure or working capital requirements other than for capital to pay trading losses, brokerage commissions and expenses. Within broad ranges of capitalization, the Partnership’s trading positions should increase or decrease in approximate proportion to the size of the Partnership.

The Partnership participates in the speculative trading of commodity futures contracts and may trade options on futures contracts and forward contracts, substantially all of which are subject to margin requirements. The minimum amount of margin required for each contract is set from time to time in response to various market factors by the respective exchanges. Further, the Partnership’s futures commission merchants and brokers may require margin in excess of minimum exchange requirements.

All of the futures contracts currently traded by the Advisor on behalf of the Partnership are exchange-traded. The risks associated with exchange-traded contracts are generally perceived to be less than those associated with over-the-counter transactions because, in over-the-counter transactions, the Partnership must rely solely on the credit of its trading counterparties, whereas exchange-traded contracts are generally, but not universally, backed by the collective credit of the members of the exchange. In the future, the Partnership anticipates that it will enter into non-exchange-traded foreign currency contracts and be subject to the credit risk associated with counterparty non-performance.

The Partnership bears the risk of financial failure by the Clearing Broker and/or other clearing brokers or counterparties with which the Partnership trades.

Results of Operations

The Partnership’s success depends primarily upon the Advisor’s ability to recognize and capitalize on market trends in the sectors of the global commodity futures markets in which it trades. The Partnership seeks to produce long-term capital appreciation through growth, and not current income. The past performance of the Partnership is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Due to the nature of the Partnership’s trading, the results of operations for the interim period presented should not be considered indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.

Performance Summary

Three Months Ended September 30, 2020

During the third quarter of 2020, the Partnership incurred net realized and unrealized losses of $216,863 from its trading activities, net of brokerage commissions of $30,729. The Partnership accrued total expenses of $96,028, including $25,269 in management fees paid to the General Partner, $0 in incentive fees, and $52,981 in service and professional fees. The Partnership earned $0 in interest income during the third quarter of 2020. An analysis of the profits and losses generated from the Partnership’s commodity futures trading activities for the third quarter of 2020 is set forth below.

Third Quarter 2020. The Partnership’s trading advisor, QIM believes that numerous small inefficiencies exist in financial markets that can be exploited through the prudent use of robust analysis and predictive technologies. The trading program currently employs several thousand quantitative trading models that utilize pattern recognition to predict short-term price movements in global futures markets. All models are tested across large data sets that expose them to a wide range of market, economic, and political environments, as well as a wide range of time frames and interactions. Only those models that prove to be the most robust, statistically significant, and conceptually diverse are used in actual trading. The resultant system of models offers what QIM believes to be reliable signals that guide market timing and trade allocation. Third quarter performance of the Partnership as a result of QIM’s trading program is as follows: The Partnership was negative in July of 2020. Each sector contributed to overall losses. Leading the negative returns was stock index trading which was the largest underperforming sector. Metals positions were the next largest detractor from performance, followed by currencies. Interest rates were also negative to a lesser extent, and energies were closest to flat but still added to aggregate losses. The Partnership was negative in August of 2020. Stock index trading was the most underperforming sector, followed by interest rates. Energies detracted slightly from performance and metals were near flat. Currencies were slightly positive and the only sector with gains. The Partnership was positive in September of 2020. The largest profits were driven by stock index positions, which outperformed the other sectors. Currencies did not have a meaningful impact while gains from metals trading contributed to overall positive performance. Offsetting some of these gains were negative results from interest rates and energies.
