Item 8.01 Other Events

Last year, Morgan Stanley and Citigroup combined certain assets of the Global Wealth Management Group of Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, including Demeter Management LLC (“Demeter”), the General Partner of the Registrant, and the Smith Barney division of Citigroup Global Markets Inc. into a new joint venture, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Holdings LLC (“Morgan Stanley Smith Barney”).  As part of that transaction Ceres Managed Futures LLC (“Ceres”) was contributed to and, together with Demeter, became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney.

Demeter currently serves as commodity pool operator for various legacy Morgan Stanley sponsored commodity pools formed prior to the joint venture and, similarly, Ceres serves as the commodity pool operator for various legacy Citigroup sponsored commodity pools formed prior to the joint venture.  Combined, Demeter and Ceres manage 36 commodity pools with more than $6.3 billion of assets under management.

Since their contribution to the joint venture, Demeter and Ceres have worked closely to align the operations and management of the commodity pools they oversee.  As a result, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, together with the unanimous support of the Boards of Directors of Demeter and Ceres, has determined that a combination of the assets and operations of Demeter and Ceres into a single commodity pool operator, Ceres, is in the best interest of limited partners and believes that this combination will achieve the intended benefits of the joint venture.  Ceres will continue to be wholly-owned by Morgan Stanley Smith Barney.

The targeted effective date of the combination is on or about November 1, 2010 (the “Effective Date”).

Upon the Effective Date, the members of the Board of Directors of Ceres will be:

Walter Davis, President and Director
Ian Bernstein, Director
Patrick Egan, Director
Alper Daglioglu, Director
Harry Handler, Director
Doug Ketterer, Director
Michael P. McGrath, Director
Jennifer Magro, Chief Financial Officer and Director
