The Fund is a registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”). As a registrant, the Fund is subject to the regulations of the SEC and the informational requirements of the Act. As a commodity pool, the Fund is subject to the regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, an agency of the United States (“U.S.”) government which 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 where the Fund executes transactions. Additionally, the Fund is subject to the requirements of Futures Commission Merchants (brokers) and Interbank market makers through which the Fund trades.

The Fund has two classes of limited partnership interests (“Interests”), Class A and Class B. The General Partner may offer additional classes at its discretion. Both Class A and Class B Interests are traded pursuant to identical trading programs and differ only in respect to the selling agents’ fees. Class B Interests are issued only at the General Partner’s discretion and are generally intended for investors who are participating in fee based investment advisory programs. All items of income or loss, except for the selling agents’ fees, are allocated pro rata between Class A and Class B Interests. The selling agents’ fees applicable to each class of Interest are then charged to each class. All items of income or loss allocated to each class of Interest are then allocated pro rata to each Limited Partner within each class. For purposes of both financial reporting and calculation of redemption value, net asset value per Class A or Class B unit is calculated by dividing the net asset value of Class A or Class B by the number or outstanding units of Class A or Class B.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Futures, options on futures, forward currency, and swap contracts are recorded on a trade date basis, and gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated. Unrealized gains and losses on open contracts (the difference between contract trade price and fair value) 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 Interpretation (“FASB”) No. 39 – Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts, as amended by FASB No. 39-1 – Amendment of FASB Interpretation No. 39 (“FIN 39-1”). Any change in net unrealized gain or loss from the preceding period is reported in the statement of operations. Commercial paper, corporate notes, U.S. Government securities and Government-sponsored enterprises are recorded at amortized cost and interest is accrued and recorded through maturity, which approximates fair value. Fair value of exchange-traded contracts is based upon settlement prices. Fair value of non-exchange traded contracts is based upon third-party quoted dealer values on the Interbank market.

Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition that are not held for sale in the normal course of business. The Fund is at risk to the extent that it maintains balances with such institutions in excess of insured limits. As of June 30, 2009, significant cash balances held at Newedge USA, LLC, UBS Financial Services, Inc. and Bank of America are $204,556,444, $159,845,760 and $354,331,682, respectively. As of December 31, 2008, significant cash balances held at Newedge USA, LLC, UBS Financial Services, Inc. and Bank of America are $218,445,964, $204,886,354 and $81,663,804, respectively.

Redemptions payable represent redemptions approved by the General Partner prior to period end, including those that are not effective until subsequent periods. These redemptions have been recorded using the period end net asset value per unit in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.

The Fund prepares calendar year U.S. and applicable state tax returns. The Fund is not subject to federal income taxes as each partner is individually liable for his or her allocable share of the Fund’s income, expenses and trading gains or losses. The Fund, however, may be required to file returns in various state and local jurisdictions as a result of its operations or the residency of its partners. On January 1, 2007, the Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which defines the threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax return positions in the financial statements as “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the taxing authority. FIN 48 applies to all tax positions accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, no income tax liability for uncertain tax positions has been recognized in the accompanying financial statements. The 2005 through 2008 tax years generally remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and most state tax authorities.

The Fund applies Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurement and also emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 was effective for the Fund on January 1, 2008, and did not impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and sets out a fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). Inputs are broadly defined under SFAS 157 as assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under SFAS 157 are described below:

The Fund’s investments in these securities are short-term in nature with a duration of less than one year and, typically, the Fund holds these investments through maturity. As such, interest income generated from these investments is recorded in the statements of operations. The fair value of these investments as obtained from cash management and clearing firms statements are compared to amortized cost to verify that the carrying amounts approximates their fair value.

The Fund’s cash management account holder and clearing firm (UBS and Newedge, respectively) utilize pricing services to value U.S. Government securities, commercial paper, Government-sponsored enterprises and corporate notes investments. These pricing services utilize the market approach which uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. Valuation techniques consistent with the market approach include matrix pricing. Matrix pricing, which is used for Level 2 investments, is a mathematical technique used principally to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities.

U.S. Government securities are actively traded on a daily basis and the pricing services are able to obtain bid and ask quotes for identical assets by CUSIP. Commercial paper, Government-sponsored enterprises, and corporate notes investments are also actively traded, however, the pricing services are only able to obtain bid and ask quotes for similar assets. As such, U.S. Government securities are classified within Level 1 and commercial paper, Government-sponsored enterprises, and corporate notes investments are classified within Level 2.

Level 1. The fair values of forward currency contracts are based upon an underlying asset, index, or reference rate or a combination of these factors and are classified within Level 2. The Fund uses some, and when applicable, all of these financial instruments as part of its trading activities. The recorded values of commercial paper, Government-sponsored enterprises, U.S. Government securities and corporate notes are based on amortized cost carrying amounts due to the short-term maturity of the instruments and are classified within Level 1 or 2. Therefore, their carrying amounts approximate their fair values.

In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 (SFAS 161), Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of the use of derivative instruments, financial performance, and cash flows. This Statement requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on agreements. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for the Fund’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2008. The Fund adopted the provisions of SFAS 161 effective January 1, 2009.

The Fund’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar; however, it transacts business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect at the date of the statement of financial condition. Income and expense items denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect during the period. Gains and losses resulting from the translation to U.S. dollars are reported in income currently as part of net trading gains and losses.

On April 9, 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (“FSP No. 157-4”). FSP No. 157-4 requires entities to consider whether events and circumstances indicate whether the transaction is or is not orderly as opposed to a forced or distressed transaction. Entities would place more weight on observable transactions determined to be orderly and less weight on transactions for which there is insufficient information to determine whether the transaction is orderly. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets or liabilities. FSP No. 157-4 provides additional guidance for making fair value measurements more consistent with the principles presented in SFAS No. 157. FSP No. 157-4 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. We do not believe this will have a material impact on our financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (SFAS 168). The FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (Codification) will be the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP. The Codification will launch on July 1, 2009 and SFAS 168 will be effective for the quarter ending September 30, 2009. The Codification is not expected to change U.S. GAAP, but will combine all authoritative standards into a comprehensive, topically organized online database. After the Codification launch only one level of authoritative GAAP will exist, other than guidance issued by the SEC. All other accounting literature excluded from the Codification will be considered non-authoritative. The Codification will have an impact to the Fund's financial statement disclosures since all future references to authoritative accounting literature will be references in accordance with the Codification.

Class A Interests incur a monthly selling agents’ fee equal to 1/12 of 2 percent (2.00 percent per annum) of the net asset value of the Class A Interests as of the last day of each month. The General Partner, in turn, pays the selling agents’ fees to the respective selling agents. If the selling agents’ fees are not paid to the selling agent, or the General Partner was the selling agent, such portions of the selling agents’ fees are retained by the General Partner.

Class B Interests incur a monthly selling agents’ fee equal to 1/12 of 0.20 percent (0.20 percent per annum) of the net asset value of the Class B Interests as of the last day of each month. The General Partner, in turn, pays the selling agents’ fees to the respective selling agents. If the selling agents’ fees are not paid to the selling agent, or the General Partner was the selling agent, such portions of the selling agents’ fees are retained by the General Partner.

The Fund has Advisory Agreements with various commodity trading advisors, pursuant to which the Fund pays each commodity trading advisor a monthly or quarterly management fee equal to 0 percent, 1 percent or 2 percent per annum of allocated net assets (as separately defined in each respective Advisory Agreement) and a quarterly or annual incentive fee equal to 20 percent, 25 percent or 30 percent of net new Trading Profits (as separately defined in each respective Advisory Agreement).

The Fund is responsible for all of its operating expenses such as accounting, audit, legal, administrative, marketing and offering expenses. Operating expenses also include salary and administrative costs incurred by the General Partner relating to marketing and administration of the Fund, such as salaries and commissions of General Partner marketing personnel, and administrative employee salaries and related costs. Pursuant to the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement, operating expenses that exceed 1 percent of the average month-end net assets of the Fund are the responsibility of the General Partner. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, actual operating expenses were below this 1 percent (pro rated operating expense limitation) of average month-end net assets of the Fund by $121,703, $261,301, $23,773 and $292,756, respectively. Additionally, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the General Partner voluntarily paid $695,429, $1,326,493, $544,612 and $792,465, respectively, of operating expenses of the Fund, with such amounts included in operating expenses waived in the statements of operations. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, $1,515,964 and $1,313,479, respectively, were payable to the General Partner for operating expenses not waived. Such amounts are presented as accounts payable in the statements of financial condition.

Investments in the Fund are made by subscription agreement, subject to acceptance by the General Partner. Units are sold at the net asset value per Class A or Class B unit as of the close of business on the last day of the month in which the subscription is accepted. Investors whose subscriptions are accepted are admitted as Limited Partners as of the beginning of the month following the month in which their subscriptions were accepted. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Fund had received subscriptions of $27,465,012 and $29,937,275, respectively, which were effective subsequent to quarter-end and year-end, respectively.

The General Partner may require a limited partner to redeem from the Fund if the General Partner deems the redemption (a) necessary to prevent or correct the occurrence of a nonexempt prohibited transaction (see SA-4, “Investment by Employee Benefit Plans”) under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or (b) beneficial to the Fund or (c) necessary to comply state, federal, or other self-regulatory organization regulations.

The Fund engages in the speculative trading of futures, swaps, options and over-the-counter contracts, including currency forwards traded in the United States and internationally (collectively, “derivatives”). The Fund is exposed to both market risk, the risk arising from changes in the fair value of the contracts, and credit risk, the risk of failure by another party to perform according to the terms of a contract.

Purchase and sale of futures contracts requires margin deposits with the brokers. Additional deposits may be necessary for any loss on contract value. The Commodity Exchange Act requires a broker to segregate all customer transactions and assets from such broker’s proprietary activities. A customer’s cash and other property (for example, U.S. Treasury Bills) deposited with a broker are considered commingled with all other customer funds subject to the broker’s segregation requirements. In the event of a broker’s insolvency, recovery may be limited to a pro rata share of segregated funds available. It is possible that the recovered amount could be less than (or none of) the total cash and other property deposited. The Fund utilizes Newedge USA, LLC, as its futures broker and Newedge Group (UK Branch) as its options broker and forwards counterparty.

The Fund trades forward currency contracts in unregulated markets between principals and assumes the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. Accordingly, the risks associated with forward currencies are generally greater than those associated with exchange traded contracts because of the greater risk of counterparty default. Additionally, the trading of forward currency contracts typically involves delayed cash settlement.

The Fund has a substantial portion of its assets on deposit with Interbank market makers and other financial institutions in connection with its trading of forward currency contracts and its cash management activities. In the event of an Interbank market maker’s or financial institution’s insolvency, recovery of Fund assets on deposit may be limited to account insurance or other protection afforded such deposits.

The Fund utilizes UBS Financial Services, Inc. as its cash management securities broker for the investment of some margin excess amounts into short-term fixed income instruments including high grade commercial paper (interest bearing with some credit risk), U.S. Government securities and Government-sponsored enterprises (interest bearing and credit risk free) with durations no longer than one year. The Fund invests in certain commercial paper issued by an affiliate of UBS Financial Services, Inc. Fluctuations in prevailing interest rates could cause immaterial market-to-market losses on the Fund’s U.S. Government securities and other fixed income instruments, although substantially all of the short-term investments are held to maturity.

For derivatives, risks arise from changes in the market value of the contracts. Theoretically, the Fund is exposed to a market risk equal to the value of futures and forward contracts purchased and unlimited liability on such contracts sold short. As both a buyer and seller of options, the Fund pays or receives a premium at the outset and then bears the risk of unfavorable changes in the price of the contract underlying the option. Written options expose the Fund to potentially unlimited liability; for purchased options the risk of loss is limited to the premiums paid.

In addition to market risk, in entering into commodity interest contracts there is a credit risk that a counterparty will not be able to meet its obligations to the Fund. The counterparty for futures and options on futures contracts traded in the United States and on most non-U.S. futures exchanges is the clearinghouse associated with such exchanges. In general, clearinghouses are backed by the corporate members of the clearinghouse who are required to share any financial burden resulting from the nonperformance 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 non-U.S. exchanges, it is normally backed by a consortium of banks or other financial institutions.

In the case of forward contracts, over-the-counter options contracts or swap contracts, which are traded on the Interbank or other institutional market rather than on exchanges, the counterparty is generally a single bank other financial institution, rather than a clearinghouse backed by a group of financial institutions; thus, there likely will be greater counterparty credit risk. The Fund trades only with those counterparties that it believes to be creditworthy. All positions of the Fund are valued each day on a mark-to-market basis. There can be no assurance that any clearing member, clearinghouse or other counterparty will be able to meet its obligations to the Fund.

The General Partner has established procedures to actively monitor market risk and minimize credit risk, although there can be no assurance that it will, in fact, succeed in doing so. The Limited Partners bear the risk of loss only to the extent of the fair value of their respective investments and, in certain specific circumstances, distributions and redemptions received.

In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements cannot be estimated. However, the Fund believes that it is unlikely it will have to make material payments under these arrangements and has not recorded any continent liability in the financial statements for such indemnifications.

The statements of financial condition, including the condensed schedule of investments, as of June 30, 2009, the statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the statements of cash flows and changes in partners’ capital (net asset value) for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the accompanying notes to the financial statements are unaudited. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles may be omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, such financial statements and accompanying disclosures reflect all adjustments, which were of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position as of June 30, 2009, results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, cash flows and changes in partners’ capital (net asset value) for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other period. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(1) The net investment loss per unit is calculated by dividing the net investment loss by the average number of Class A or Class B units outstanding during the period. Gain from trading is a balancing amount necessary to reconcile the change in net asset value per unit with the other per unit information. Such balancing amount may differ from the calculation of gain from trading per unit due to the timing of trading gains and losses during the period relative to the number of units outstanding.

(2) All of the ratios under the supplemental data are computed net of voluntary and involuntary waivers of operating expenses. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the ratios are net of approximately 0.31%, 0.30%, 0.34%, 0.26% of average net asset value relating to the waivers of operating expenses. Both the nature and the amounts of the waivers are more fully explained in Note 5.

Futures Portfolio Fund, Limited Partnership (“the Fund”) is a Maryland limited partnership, formed on May 11, 1989 and began trading on January 2, 1990. Utilizing professional trading advisors, the Fund invests the proceeds from its offering of units in the speculative trading of futures, swaps, options and over-the-counter contracts, including currency forwards traded in the United States and internationally. The Fund is an actively managed account with speculative trading profits as its objective. The Fund issues two different types of units; Class A units and Class B units which represent units of fractional undivided beneficial interest in and ownership of the Fund.

There were several events that led to significant volatility in global capital markets during 2008 and continuing in 2009. Following a series of global announcements regarding failures in financial institutions including the government take-over of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, equity markets fell and credit markets experienced a sharp drop in liquidity. On October 3, 2008, President Bush signed into law the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. The Act gave the U.S. Treasury certain powers to assist troubled financial institutions, especially those with assets that may have been affected by sub-prime mortgage exposure or credit default insurance exposure.

Despite the increased volatility in the capital markets, the Fund was not adversely impacted by these developments. In fact, as a result of the declining global markets, the Fund’s short positions in equity indices were highly profitable. Additionally, the Fund’s short positions in physical commodities and long positions in interest rate instruments were also profitable as commodity prices decreased and bond prices increased.

The preparation of the Fund’s financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, Fair Value Measurement (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurement and also emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, except for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis for which delayed application is permitted until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 was effective for the Fund on January 1, 2008, and did not impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Fair value of exchange traded contracts is based upon exchange settlement prices. Fair value of non-exchange traded contracts is based on third party quoted dealer values of the Interbank market. The investments in money market funds and futures contracts are valued using quoted market prices and are classified within Level 1. The fair values of forward currency contracts are based upon an underlying asset, index, or reference rate or a combination of these factors and are classified within Level 2. The Fund uses some, and when applicable, all of these financial instruments as part of its trading activities. The recorded values of commercial paper, Government-sponsored enterprises, U.S. Government securities, and corporate notes are based on amortized cost carrying amounts due to the short-term maturity of the instruments and are classified within Level 1 or 2. Therefore, their carrying amounts approximate their fair values.

Futures, options on futures, forward currency, and swap contracts are recorded on a trade date basis, and gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated. Unrealized gains and losses on open contracts (the difference between contract trade price and fair value) 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 Interpretation (“FASB”) No. 39 – Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts, as amended by FASB No. 39-1 – Amendment of FASB Interpretation No. 39 (“FIN 39-1”). Any change in net unrealized gain or loss from the preceding period is reported in the statements of operations. Commercial paper, corporate notes, U.S. Government securities and Government-sponsored enterprises are recorded at amortized cost and interest is accrued and recorded through maturity, which approximates fair value. Fair value of exchange-traded contracts is based upon settlement prices. Fair value of non-exchange traded contracts is based upon third-party quoted dealer values on the Interbank market.

For purposes of both financial reporting and calculation of redemption value, net asset value per Class A or Class B unit is calculated by dividing the net asset value of Class A or Class B by the number or outstanding units of Class A or Class B. All items of income or loss, except for the selling agents’ fees, are allocated pro rata between Class A and Class B Interests. The selling agents’ fees applicable to each class of Interest are then charged to each class. All items of income or loss allocated to each class of Interest are then allocated pro rata to each Limited Partner within each class.

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. Once the price of a futures contract has reached the daily limit for that day, positions in that contract can neither be taken nor liquidated. 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. Other than these limitations on liquidity, which are inherent in the Fund’s futures trading operations, the Fund’s assets are expected to be highly liquid. Redemptions may be made by a Limited Partner as of the last business day of any month at the Net Asset Value on such redemption date of the redeemed units (or portion thereof) on that date, on 5 days’ prior written notice to the General Partner. Partial redemptions must be for at least $1,000, unless such requirement is waived by the General Partner. In addition, the Limited Partner, if making a partial redemption, must maintain at least $10,000 or his original investment amount, whichever is less, in the Fund unless such requirement is waived by the General Partner.

The term “off-balance sheet risk” refers to an unrecorded potential liability that, even though it does not appear on the balance sheet, may result in future obligation or loss. 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 risk to the Fund, market risk, that such contracts may be significantly influenced by market conditions, such as interest rate volatility, resulting in such contracts being less valuable. If the markets should move against all of the futures interests positions of the Fund at the same time, and if the commodity trading advisors were unable to offset futures interest positions of the Fund, the Fund could lose all of its assets and the Limited Partners would realize a 100% loss. Steben & Company, the General Partner, minimizes market risk through diversification of the portfolio allocations to multiple trading advisors, and maintenance of a margin-to-equity ratio that rarely exceeds 30%.

In addition to market risk, in entering into futures and forward contracts there is a risk that the 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 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.

In the case of forward contracts, which are traded on the inter-bank market rather than on exchanges, the counterparty is generally a single bank or other financial institution, rather than a group of financial institutions; thus there may be a greater counterparty risk. Steben & Company utilizes only those counterparties that it believes to be creditworthy for the Fund. All positions of the Fund are valued each day on a mark-to-market basis. There can be no assurance that any clearing member, clearinghouse or other counterparty will be able to meet its obligations to the Fund.

The Fund will utilize high grade short-term commercial paper, which is an unsecured, short-term debt instrument issued by a corporation with maturities rarely longer than 270 days. Commercial paper is not usually backed by any form of collateral, so only firms with high-quality debt rating will be used. As commercial paper is not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, if the issuing corporation defaults on their obligations to the Fund, the Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received.

The returns for A units for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 were (3.55%) and (6.06%), respectively (returns of 8.48% and 20.74% respectively – June 30, 2008). The returns for B units for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 were (3.12%) and (5.23%), respectively (returns of 8.94% and 21.78%, respectively – June 30, 2008). Further analysis of the trading gains and losses is provided below.

A Units of the Fund were up 0.61% for the month of January 2009 and B Units were up 0.76%. January ended with the Fund realizing profits in five out of six market sectors. In contrast to the trends of the last few months, many of the markets traded by the Fund were directionless. General optimism after the Obama transition along with government intervention into the world’s financial markets seemed to dampen the steady declines in equity prices experienced in recent quarters. The energy sector was profitable, driven by gains from crude oil and natural gas, whose prices continued to decline on slowing demand and rising inventory levels. Similarly, industrial metals such as aluminum, nickel and zinc also declined due to inventory build-ups, benefiting the Fund’s short positions. In foreign currencies, the U.S. dollar strengthened as risk adverse investors continued to seek the perceived safety of the U.S. currency. Interest rate instruments edged lower during the month which went against the Fund’s long bond positions.

A Units of the Fund were down 0.11% for the month of February 2009 and B Units were up 0.04%.The Fund ended the month essentially flat as most markets continued to trade within relatively narrow price ranges. Global equity markets continued to decline amid further weak economic data and a deepening recession. This decline benefited the Fund’s short positions in equity indices. The energy sector finished with modest profits from short positions in natural gas and heating oil. Agricultural commodities were profitable, despite some losses from a sharp reversal in cocoa markets. Foreign currencies experienced losses this month due to the weakening of the Japanese yen relative to the U.S. dollar. The yen rose about 30% between August 2008 and the start of February, then switched direction against the U.S. Dollar and other major currencies.

A Units of the Fund were down 3.09% for the month of March 2009 and B Units were down 2.95%. During March prices moved against established trends and the Fund’s positions. After equity markets reached a new 12 year low, markets reversed and showed some signs of recovery. The rising equity indices, including the S&P 500, DAX and Nikkei 225 Index, moved against the Fund’s short positions, resulting in losses for the Fund. The US dollar fell sharply following the US Treasury Department’s announcement that it planned to repurchase toxic assets, in an effort to help stimulate bank lending. Most foreign currencies strengthened against the US dollar moving against the Fund’s short foreign currency positions. In the interest rate instrument markets, prices settled higher adding some profit to the Fund’s long positions in that sector.

A Units of the Fund were down 1.94% for the month of April 2009 and B Units were down 1.79%. The Fund finished lower in April as most markets continued to move within narrow trading ranges without exhibiting any significant trends. One exception was in the energy sector where natural gas prices continued in a downward trend generating profits for the Fund’s short positions. A rally in global equities that began in March continued through April. The rising equity prices generated profits for the Fund’s long positions in this sector which helped to offset losses from other sectors. The Fund’s biggest losses came from interest rate instruments, where prices in medium to long term bonds fell, which went against the Fund’s long positions. Industrial metals prices rose toward the end of the month, with aluminum and nickel moving against the Fund’s short positions creating some losses. Agricultural commodities ended flat for the month.

A Units of the Fund were up 1.41% for the month of May 2009 and B Units were up 1.56%. The Fund finished higher this month as profits realized from equity indices, foreign currencies, interest rate instruments, metals and agricultural commodities offset losses incurred in the energy sector. The Fund’s largest profits came from long positions in equity indices which continued to trend higher during the month. The most significant losses derived from the energy sector, which saw sharp price movements in natural gas that went against the Fund’s short positions. The Fund’s long positions in crude oil generated profits that helped reduce losses experienced from natural gas contracts. Interest rate instruments were mixed as rising prices on short term interest rate instruments were profitable, while a sell-off in longer term fixed income markets went against the Fund’s long positions. Profits in foreign currencies came from the Fund’s long positions in the Australian dollar, Swiss franc and South African rand.

A Units of the Fund were down 3.01% for the month of June 2009 and B Units were down 2.87%. The Fund finished lower in June as gains in equity indices, energies, foreign currencies and agricultural commodities were offset by losses from interest rate instruments and metals. The most significant losses occurred in the Fund’s short-term interest rate positions, where prices reversed from previous longer term trends. A sharp sell-off in Eurodollar, short sterling and euribor contracts was fueled by speculation that global central banks may begin to increase short-term interest rates to counteract potential inflationary pressures. The sudden drop in interest rate instrument prices went against the Fund’s long positions. Also in interest rates, weaker than expected forecasts for Japan’s economy sent Japanese government bond (JGB) prices higher, which was a reversal from the price trend in that market. The higher prices generated losses in the Fund’s short JGB positions. Commodity markets rallied during the month which benefited the Fund’s long positions in agricultural commodities, but resulted in losses for short positions in the metals sector. Long positions in the energies were profitable as oil prices made new highs for the year.

A Units of the Fund were up 1.40% for the month of January 2008 and B Units were up 1.56%. The Fund ended with a net gain in January as profits from interest rate instruments, agricultural commodities and metals offset losses from energy, equity indices and foreign currencies. Global interest rate instruments were the most profitable sector for the Fund as rates trended lower on growing concerns of a possible US recession. Later in the month, the Federal Reserve responded to a sharp sell off in global equity prices with a total 1.25% rate cut that pushed short term rates even lower, benefiting the Fund’s long positions in that sector. Long positions in agricultural commodities were profitable as grain and soybean prices continued an upward trend on strong global demand and declining inventory levels. The largest losses for the month came from the energy sector, where crude oil prices declined after hitting an all time nominal high at the beginning of the month. The fall in oil prices went against the Fund’s long positions.

A Units of the Fund were up 11.56% for the month of February 2008 and B Units were up 11.74%. The Fund finished the month with net profits in all six major market sectors. Physical commodities generated the largest profits as strong demand and tight supplies in a number of commodities drove contract prices to record highs. In the agricultural commodities sector, the Fund’s long positions in soybeans, wheat, coffee, corn and sugar were among the most profitable. Since the start of the year, wheat prices have climbed 21%, while soybeans and coffee were up 27% and 35% respectively. In the energy sector, light crude oil futures hit a new nominal high of $103.05 dollars per barrel. The Fund gained from its long positions in energy, especially crude oil, heating oil, gasoline and kerosene. In the metals sector, the Fund profited from its long positions in both precious and industrial metals including gold, silver, aluminum, platinum and copper. Short positions in equity indices profited as global indices weakened on fears of inflation and a weaker US dollar. Bond prices were mostly unchanged until the final days of the month, when prices jumped in reaction to Fed news about further rate cuts. The net increase in bond prices benefited the Fund’s long bond positions.

A Units of the Fund were down 1.62% for the month of March 2008 and B Units were down 1.49%. The Fund finished lower in March as losses from agricultural products and metals offset profits from equity indices, foreign currencies, energy and interest rate instruments. Financial markets reacted to two announcements by the Federal Reserve that ultimately impacted several market sectors. The Fed cut the federal funds target interest rate by .75% and it also announced it would provide guarantees to JP Morgan Chase for the acquisition of Bear Stearns. Following the announcements, the US dollar which had been trending lower over the past several months, suddenly strengthened. The stronger dollar triggered a rapid sell-off in physical commodities including agricultural, metals and energy, with agricultural commodities generating the largest losses. Overall the Fund ended the first quarter up 11.28% and up 25.15% for the last 12 months.

A Units of the Fund were down 3.05% for the month of April 2008 and B Units were down 2.90%. The Fund finished lower this month as profits from energy were offset by losses from the other five major market sectors. Japanese government bonds fell on reports that inflation in Japan had reached its highest level in a decade. By the end of the month, most domestic and international interest rates had edged higher even after the FOMC announced a .25% rate cut. Overall, the decline in bond prices went against the Fund’s long positions. Agricultural commodity prices continued to decline resulting in losses for the Fund's long positions in that sector. Wheat prices fell more than 6%, reaching five-month lows on news that the government of Ukraine had eased export restrictions. Corn and soybean prices also moved lower. Long positions in the energy sector posted gains as crude oil prices approached $120 per barrel. Concerns over Saudi supplies, Nigerian production disruptions and further evidence of continuing Chinese demand fueled the rise in oil prices.

A Units of the Fund were up 5.14% for the month of May 2008 and B Units were up 5.32%. The Fund finished higher this month with gains in most of the major market sectors. The energy sector generated significant profits as the Fund’s long positions benefited from sustained upward trends in crude oil, gasoline, heating oil and natural gas. Analysts’ explanations for the rise in prices were mixed, but steady demand, supply disruptions and a weak US dollar continued to be the most commonly stated factors. While prices for several energy contracts reached all time highs, other market sectors were relatively quiet this month. Foreign currencies, metals and stock indices all finished with modest profits for the month, with each sector experiencing a mix of offsetting returns. Short-term interest rate instruments were profitable as the Fund’s short positions benefited from a rise in short term international interest rates.

A Units of the Fund were up 6.42% for the month of June 2008 and B Units were up 6.53%. The Fund’s systematic trading strategies generated profits from trends in all of the major market sectors in June. Crude oil, heating oil, gasoline and natural gas soared to new highs, producing significant profits from the Fund’s long energy sector positions. Higher energy prices, weakness in the U.S. dollar and concerns over inflation drove stock markets into bear market territory. The falling equity prices produced profits from the Fund’s short equity index positions. Agricultural prices rose this month as severe flooding in the U.S. threatened summer crop supplies. The rising prices benefited the Fund’s long positions in soybeans, corn and wheat. The Fund also profited from long positions in metals including copper, gold and zinc.

Market movements result in frequent changes in the fair market value of the Fund's open positions and, consequently, in its earnings and cash flow. The Fund's market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including the level and volatility of exchange rates, interest rates, equity price levels, the market value of financial instruments and contracts, the diversification effects among the Fund's open positions and the liquidity of the markets in which it trades.

Value at Risk is a measure of the maximum amount which the Fund could reasonably be expected to lose in a given market sector. However, the inherent uncertainty of the Fund's speculative trading and the recurrence in the markets traded by the Fund of market movements far exceeding expectations could result in actual trading or non-trading losses far beyond the indicated Value at Risk or the Fund's experience to date (i.e., "risk of ruin"). Risk of ruin is defined to be no more than a 5% chance of losing 20% or more on a monthly basis. In light of the foregoing as well as the risks and uncertainties intrinsic to all future projections, the inclusion of the quantification included in this section should not be considered to constitute any assurance or representation that the Fund's losses in any market sector will be limited to Value at Risk or by the Fund's attempts to manage its market risk.

The following quantitative disclosures regarding the Fund's market risk exposures contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the safe harbor from civil liability provided for such statements by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). All quantitative disclosures in this section are deemed to be forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor, except for statements of historical fact (such as the dollar amount of maintenance margin required for market risk sensitive instruments held at the end of the reporting period).

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

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

The following tables indicate the trading Value at Risk associated with the Fund's open positions by market category as of April 30, 2009, May 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009. All open position trading risk exposures of the Fund have been included in calculating the figures set forth below. As of April 30, 2009, May 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009, the Fund's total capitalization was $892,786,744, $935,149,635 and $939,897,754, respectively.

Market Sector	April 2009 Value at Risk		% of Total Capitalization			May 2009 Value at Risk		% of Total Capitalization			June 2009 Value at Risk		% of Total Capitalization

Agricultural	$	8,391,311		0.94	%	$	8,262,619		0.88	%	$	7,508,645		0.80	%
Currency	$	16,484,915		1.85	%	$	20,828,082		2.23	%	$	23,371,510		2.49	%
Energy	$	12,248,817		1.37	%	$	13,703,927		1.47	%	$	16,564,949		1.76	%

Of the (3.55%) and (6.06%) return for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 for A Units, approximately (1.62%) and (2.67%) was due to trading loss (after commissions) and approximately 0.12% and 0.38% was due to interest income, offset by approximately (2.05%) and (3.77%) in incentive fees, management fees, selling agents’ fees and operating expenses borne by the Fund, respectively. Of the (3.12%) and (5.23%) return for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 for B Units, approximately (1.63%) and (2.71%) was due to trading loss (after commissions) and approximately 0.12% and 0.38% was due to interest income, offset by approximately (1.61%) and (2.90%) in incentive fees, management fees, selling agents’ fees and operating expenses borne by the Fund, respectively.

The face value of the market sector instruments held by the Fund is typically many times the applicable maintenance margin requirement (maintenance margin requirements generally ranging between approximately 1% and 10% of contract face value) as well as many times the capitalization of the Fund. The magnitude of the Fund's open positions creates a "risk of ruin" not typically found in most other investment vehicles. Because of the size of its positions, certain market conditions - unusual, but historically recurring from time to time - could cause the Fund to incur severe losses over a short period of time. The foregoing Value at Risk tables - as well as the past performance of the Fund - gives no indication of this "risk of ruin."

The Fund has non-trading market risk on its foreign cash balances not needed for margin. However, these balances (as well as the market risk they represent) are immaterial. The Fund also has non-trading market risk as a result of investing a substantial portion of its available assets in Government-sponsored enterprises and high grade commercial paper. The market risk represented by these investments is immaterial.

The following qualitative disclosures regarding the Fund's market risk exposures - except for (i) those disclosures that are statements of historical fact and (ii) the descriptions of how the Fund manages its primary market risk exposures - constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act. The Fund's primary market risk exposures as well as the strategies used and to be used by the Fund’s Trading Advisors for managing such exposures are subject to numerous uncertainties, contingencies and risks, any one of which could cause the actual results of the Fund's risk controls to differ materially from the objectives of such strategies. Government interventions, defaults and expropriations, illiquid markets, the emergence of dominant fundamental factors, political upheavals, changes in historical price relationships, an influx of new market participants, increased regulation and many other factors could result in material losses as well as in material changes to the risk exposures and the risk management strategies of the Fund. There can be no assurance that the Fund's current market exposure and/or risk management strategies will not change materially or that any such strategies will be effective in either the short- or long-term. Investors must be prepared to lose all or substantially all of their investment in the Fund.

Exchange rate risk is the principal market exposure of the Fund. The Fund's currency exposure is to exchange rate fluctuations, primarily fluctuations which disrupt the historical pricing relationships between different currencies and currency pairs. These fluctuations are influenced by interest rate changes as well as political and general economic conditions. The Fund trades various currencies, including cross-rates - i.e., positions between two currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. The General Partner does not anticipate that the risk profile of the Fund's currency sector will change significantly in the future.

The Fund's primary energy market exposure is to gas and oil price movements, often resulting from political developments, ongoing conflicts or production interruptions in the Middle East and other oil producing nations. Crude oil, heating oil and unleaded gas are the dominant energy market exposures of the Fund. Oil and gas prices can be volatile and substantial profits and losses have been and are expected to continue to be experienced in this market.

Interest rate risk is a significant market exposure of the Fund. Interest rate movements directly affect the price of the sovereign bond futures positions held by the Fund and indirectly the value of its stock index and currency positions. Interest rate movements in one country as well as relative interest rate movements between countries materially impact the Fund's profitability. The Fund's primary interest rate exposure is to interest rate fluctuations in the United States, Japan, Great Britain, the European Economic Union, Sweden, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The General Partner anticipates that interest rates fluctuations will remain the primary market exposure of the Fund for the foreseeable future.

The Fund's primary equity exposure is to equity price risk in many countries other than the U.S. The stock index futures traded by the Fund are limited to futures on broadly based indices. The Fund is primarily exposed to the risk of adverse price trends or static markets in the major U.S., European and Japanese indices. (Static markets would not cause major market changes but would make it difficult for the Fund to avoid being "whipsawed" into numerous small losses.)

The Fund utilizes UBS Financial Services, Inc. as its cash management securities brokers for the investment of some margin excess amounts into short-term fixed income instruments, either directly or through liquid money market funds, including high grade commercial paper (interest bearing with some credit risk), Government-sponsored enterprises (interest bearing and credit risk free) and corporate notes with durations no longer than one year. In addition, U.S. Government securities are held with Newedge USA, LLC. Violent fluctuations in prevailing interest rates could cause immaterial mark-to-market losses on the Fund's short term investments; although substantially all of these short term investments are held to maturity.

The means by which the Fund and the Fund’s Trading Advisors, severally, attempt to manage the risk of the Fund's open positions is essentially the same in all market categories traded. The Fund’s Advisors apply risk management policies to their respective trading which generally limit the total exposure that may be taken. In addition, the Trading Advisors generally follow proprietary diversification guidelines (often formulated in terms of the balanced volatility between markets and correlated groups).

The Fund is unaware of any (i) anticipated known demands, commitments or capital expenditures; (ii) material trends, favorable or unfavorable, in its capital resources; or (iii) trends or uncertainties that will have a material effect on operations. From time to time, certain regulatory agencies have proposed increased margin requirements on futures contracts. Because the Fund generally will use a small percentage of assets as margin, the Fund does not believe that any increase in margin requirements, as proposed, will have a material effect on the Fund's operations.

Steben & Company, Inc., the General Partner of the Fund, with the participation of the General Partner's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) with respect to the Fund as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There were no changes in the General Partner's internal control over financial reporting applicable to the Fund identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting applicable to the Fund.

Between April and June 2009, the Fund issued Units at monthly closings as set forth in the following chart. However, pursuant to Regulation Section 229.701 Item 701(d), the Fund enjoys the private offering exemption within the Securities Exchange Act of 1933 Section 4(2). The Fund is privately offered and sold to “accredited investors” as defined in Securities Exchange Act of 1933 Rule 501(a).
