Item 1. Business.
(a) General development of business. Salomon Smith Barney Global Diversified Futures Fund L.P. (the ‘‘Partnership’’) is a limited partnership organized under the partnership laws of the State of New York, on June 15, 1998 to engage directly or indirectly in speculative trading of a diversified portfolio of commodity interests, including futures contracts, options and forwards. The commodity interests that are traded by the Partnership are volatile and involve a high degree of market risk.
A Registration Statement on Form S-1 relating to the public offering became effective on November 25, 1998. Between November 25, 1998 (commencement of offering period) and February 1, 1999, 33,379 redeemable units of Limited Partnership Interest (‘‘Redeemable Units’’) were sold at $1,000 per Redeemable Unit. Proceeds of the offering were held in an escrow account and were transferred, along with the General Partner’s contribution of $337,000, to the Partnership’s trading account on February 2, 1999 when the Partnership commenced trading. The public offering terminated on April 1, 2000. Redemptions of Redeemable Units for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 are reported in the Statements of Changes in Partners’ Capital on page under ‘‘Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.’’
Citigroup Managed Futures LLC, a Delaware liability company, acts as the General Partner (the ‘‘General Partner’’) of the Partnership. The Partnership’s commodity broker is Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (‘‘CGM’’), CGM is an affiliate of the General Partner. The General Partner is wholly owned by Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. (‘‘CGMHI’’), which is the sole owner of CGM. CGMHI is a wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. (‘‘Citigroup’’).
The Partnership’s trading of futures, forwards and options contracts, if applicable, on commodities is done on United States and foreign commodity exchanges. It engages in such trading through a commodity brokerage account maintained with CGM.
For the year ended December 31, 2006, all commodity trading decisions are made for the Partnership by Campbell, Aspect and Altis (each an ‘‘Advisor’’ and collectively, the ‘‘Advisors’’). None of the Advisors are affiliated with one another, the General Partner or CGM. The Advisors are not responsible for the organization or operation of the Partnership.
The General Partner has agreed to make capital contributions, if necessary, so that its general partnership interest will be equal to the greater of (i) 1% of the partners’ contributions to the Partnership or (ii) $25,000. The Partnership will be liquidated upon the first of the following to occur: December 31, 2018; the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit falls below $400 as of the close of any business day; or under certain circumstances as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Partnership (the ‘‘Limited Partnership Agreement’’).
On January 1, 2005, the assets allocated to Campbell and Company Inc. (‘‘Campbell’’) for trading were invested in the CMF Campbell Master Fund L.P. (‘‘Campbell Master’’), a limited partnership organized under the partnership laws of the State of New York. The Partnership purchased 17,534.8936 Redeemable Units of Campbell Master with cash equal to $17,341,826 and a contribution of open commodity futures and forwards positions with a fair value of $193,067. Campbell Master was formed to permit commmodity pools managed now and in the future by Campbell using Campbell’s Financials Metals and Energy ‘‘FME’’ Portfolio, the Advisor’s proprietary trading program, to invest together in one trading vehicle. The General Partner of the partnership is the general partner of Campbell Master. Individual and pooled accounts are permitted to be a limited partner of Campbell Master. The General Partner and the Advisor believe that trading through this structure should promote efficiency and economy in the trading process. Expenses to the Advisor as a result of the investment in Campbell Master are approximately the same and redeemption rights are not affected.
On March 1, 2005, the assets allocated to Aspect Capital Ltd. (‘‘Aspect’’) for trading were invested in the CMF Aspect Master Fund L.P. (‘‘Aspect Master’’), a limited partnership organized under the partnership laws of the State of New York. The Partnership purchased 16,015.3206 Redeemable Units of Aspect Master with cash equal to $14,955,106 and a contribution of open commodity futures and forwards positions with a fair value of $1,060,214. Aspect Master was formed to permit commodity pools managed now and in the
future by Aspect using Aspect’s Diversified Portfolio Program, the Advisor’s proprietary trading program, to invest together in one trading vehicle. The General Partner of the partnership is the general partner of Aspect Master. Individual and pooled accounts are permitted to be a limited partner of Aspect Master. The General Partner and Aspect believe that trading through this structure should promote efficiency and economy in the trading process. Expenses to the Advisor as a result of the investment in Aspect Master are approximately the same and redemption rights are not affected.
On November 1, 2005, the assets allocated to Altis Partners (Jersey) Ltd. (‘‘Altis’’) for trading were invested in the CMF Altis Partners Master Fund L.P. (‘‘Altis Master’’), a limited partnership organized under the partnership laws of the State of New York. The Partnership purchased 13,013.6283 Redeemable Units of Altis Master with cash equal to $11,227,843 and a contribution of open commodity futures and forwards positions with a fair value of $1,785,785. Altis Master was formed to permit commodity pools managed now and in the future by Altis using Altis’s Diversified Portfolio Program, the Advisor’s proprietary trading program, to invest together in one trading vehicle. The General Partner of the partnership is the general partner of Altis Master. Individual and pooled accounts are permitted to be a limited partner of Altis Master. The General Partner and Altis believe that trading through this structure should promote efficiency and economy in the trading process. Expenses to the Advisors as a result of the investment in Altis Master are approximately the same and redemption rights are not affected.
Campbell Master’s, Aspect Master’s, Altis Master’s (the ‘‘Funds’’) trading of futures, forwards and options, contracts, if applicable, on commodities is done primarily on United States of America commodity exchanges and foreign commodity exchanges. Each engages in such trading through commodity brokerage accounts maintained with CGM.
A Limited Partner may withdraw all or part of its capital contribution and undistributed profits, if any, from the Funds in multiples of the Net Asset per Redeemable Unit of Limited Partnership Interest as of the last day of a month after a request for redemption has been made to the General Partner at least 3 days in advance of month-end.
Management and incentive fees are charged at the Partnership level. All exchange, clearing, user, give-up, floor brokerage and National Futures Association fees are borne by the Funds. All other fees including CGM’s direct brokerage commissions are charged at the Partnership level.
As of December 31, 2006, the Partnership owned 4.4%, 7.0% and 38.5% of Campbell Master, Aspect Master and Altis Master, respectively. As of December 31, 2005, the Partnership owned 5.0%, 8.4% and 72.6% of Campbell Master, Aspect Master and Altis Master, respectively. The performance of the Partnership is directly affected by the performance of the Funds. It is Campbell’s, Aspect’s and Atlis’s intention to continue to invest the assets allocated to each by the Partnership in Campbell Master, Aspect Master and Altis Master, respectively.
Pursuant to the terms of the management agreements (the ‘‘Management Agreements’’), the Partnership is obligated to pay each Advisor a monthly management equal to 1/6 of 1% (2% per year) of month-end Net Assets managed by the Advisor, except Aspect, which will receive a monthly management fee equal to 1/12 of 1.25% (1.25% per year), of Net Assets as of the end of each month. Month-end Net Assets for the purpose of calculating management fees are Net Assets, as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement, prior to the reduction of redemptions and incentive fees. Each Advisor also receives an incentive fee payable annually equal to 20% of the New Trading Profits, as defined in the Management Agreements.
The Partnership has entered into a customer agreement with CGM (the ‘‘Customer Agreement’’) which provides that the Partnership pays CGM a monthly brokerage fee equal to 9/20 of 1% of month-end Net Assets allocated to the Advisors (5.4% per year) in lieu of brokerage commissions on a per trade basis. Month-end Net Assets for the purpose of calculating brokerage commissions are Net Assets, as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement, prior to the reduction of accrued expenses and redemptions payable. CGM pays a portion of its brokerage fees to its financial consultants who have sold Redeemable Units and who are registered as associated persons with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the ‘‘CFTC’’). The Partnership pays for National Futures Association (‘‘NFA’’) fees, exchange and clearing fees, give-up and user fees and floor brokerage fees. The Customer Agreement between the Partnership and CGM gives the Partnership the legal right to net unrealized gains and losses. Brokerage fees will be paid for the life of the Partnership, although the rate at which such fees are paid may be changed.
In addition, CGM pays the Partnership interest on 80% of the average daily equity maintained in cash in its account during each month at a 30-day U.S. Treasury bill rate determined weekly by CGM based on the average non-competitive yield on 3-month U.S. Treasury bills maturing in 30 days from the date on which such weekly rate is determined.
(b) Financial information about industry segments. The Partnership’s business consists of only one segment, speculative trading of commodity interests. The Partnership does not engage in the sales of goods or services. The Partnership’s net income (loss) from operations for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003 and 2002 is set forth under ‘‘Item 6. Selected Financial Data’’. The Partnership’s capital as of December 31, 2006 was $45,246,167.

Item 1A.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
As a result of leverage, small changes in the price of the Partnership’s positions may result in major losses.
The trading of commodity interests is speculative, volatile and involves a high degree of leverage. A small change in the market price of a commodity interest contract can produce major losses for the Partnership.
An investor may lose all of his investment.
Due to the speculative nature of trading commodity interests, an investor could lose all of its investment in the Partnership.
The Partnership will pay substantial fees and expenses regardless of profitability.
Regardless of its trading performance, the Partnership will incur fees and expenses, including brokerage and management fees. Substantial incentive fees may be paid to one or more of the trading advisors even if the Partnership experiences a net loss for the full year.
An investor’s ability to redeem or transfer units is limited.
An investor’s ability to redeem units is limited and no market exists for the units.
Conflicts of interest exist.
The Partnership is subject to numerous conflicts of interest including those that arise from the facts that:
1. The General Partner and commodity broker are affiliates;
2. Each of the trading advisor(s), the commodity broker and their principals and affiliates may trade in commodity interests for their own accounts; and
3. Smith Barney financial advisors will receive ongoing compensation for providing services to an investor’s account.
Investing in units might not provide the desired diversification of an investor’s overall portfolio.
The Partnership will not provide any benefit of diversification of an investor’s overall portfolio unless it is profitable and produces returns that are independent from stock and bond market returns.
Past performance is no assurance of future results.
The advisors’ trading strategies may not perform as they have performed in the past. The advisors have from time to time incurred substantial losses in trading on behalf of clients.
An investor’s tax liability may exceed cash distributions.
Investors are taxed on their share of the Partnership’s income, even though the Partnership does not intend to make any distributions.
The General Partner at any time may select and allocate the Partnership’s assets to undisclosed advisors. Investors may not be advised of such changes in advance. Investors must rely on the ability of the General Partner to select advisors and allocate assets among them.
Item 2.
Item 2. Properties.
The Partnership does not own or lease any properties. The General Partner operates out of facilities provided by its affiliate, Citigroup.
Item 3.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
This section describes the major pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, to which CGM or its subsidiaries is a party or to which any of their property is subject. There are no material legal proceedings pending against the Partnership or the General Partner.
CGM is a New York corporation with its principal place of business at 388 Greenwich St., New York, New York 10013. CGM is registered as a broker-dealer and futures commission merchant (‘‘FCM’’), and provides futures brokerage and clearing services for institutional and retail participants in the futures markets. CGM and its affiliates also provide investment banking and other financial services for clients worldwide.
There have been no administrative, civil or criminal actions pending, on appeal or concluded against CGM or any of its individual principals within the past five years that management believes may have a material impact on CGM’s ability to act as an FCM.
Enron Corp.
Beginning in 2002, Citigroup, CGM and certain executive officers and current and former employees (along with, in many cases, other investment banks and certain Enron officers and directors, lawyers and/or accountants) were named as defendants in a series of individual and putative class action lawsuits related to Enron. The putative securities class action and all remaining individual actions (other than actions brought as part of Enron’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding) were consolidated or coordinated in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas. The consolidated securities class action, brought on behalf of a putative class of individuals who purchased Enron securities (NEWBY, et al. v. ENRON CORP., et al.), alleged violations of Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Sections 10 and 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Citigroup agreed to settle this action on June 10, 2005. Under the terms of the settlement, approved by the District Court on May 24, 2006, Citigroup will make a pretax payment of $2.01 billion to the settlement class, which consists of all purchasers of publicly traded equity and debt securities issued by Enron and Enron-related entities between September 9, 1997 and December 2, 2001. In light of this settlement, plaintiffs in three individual securities actions, which are part of the NEWBY class, have agreed to dismiss their lawsuits against Citigroup: CALIFORNIA PUBLIC EMPLOYEES’ RETIREMENT SYSTEM v. BANC OF AMERICA SECURITIES LLC, et al.; HEADWATERS CAPITAL LLC v. LAY, et al.; and VARIABLE ANNUITY LIFE INS. CO. v. CREDIT SUISSE FIRST BOSTON CORP., et al. Plaintiffs in two other cases, not part of the NEWBY class, have also voluntarily dismissed their claims against Citigroup: STEINER v. ENRON CORP., et al. and TOWN OF NEW HARTFORD v. LAY, et al.
A number of other individual actions have been settled and/or dismissed. On October 26, 2006, Citigroup, along with certain other investment bank defendants, agreed to settle an action brought by four
Ohio state pension funds that purchased Enron securities, PUBLIC EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT SYSTEM OF OHIO, et al. v. FASTOW, et al. In December 2006, Citigroup agreed to settle three actions brought by various investment funds and insurance companies that purchased Enron securities: AMERICAN NATIONAL INSURANCE COMPANY, et al. v. CITIGROUP INC., et al.; WESTBORO PROPERTIES, LLC, et al. v. CITIGROUP INC., et al.; and RAVENSWOOD I, L.L.C., et al. v. CITIGROUP INC., et al. On December 15, 2006, the District Court dismissed with prejudice 10 cases brought by clients of a single law firm in connection with the purchase and holding of Enron securities (also dismissing third-party claims against Citigroup): ADAMS, et al. v. ARTHUR ANDERSEN, et al.; AHLICH, et al. v. ARTHUR ANDERSEN, et al.; BULLOCK, et al. v. ARTHUR ANDERSEN, et al.; CHOUCROUN, et al. v. ARTHUR ANDERSEN, et al.; DELGADO, et al. v. ARTHUR ANDERSEN, et al.; GUY, et al. v. ARTHUR ANDERSEN, et al.; JOSE, et al. v. ARTHUR ANDERSEN, et al.; ODAM, et al. v. ENRON CORP., et al.; PEARSON, et al. v. FASTOW, et al.; and ROSEN, et al. v. FASTOW, et al. Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal in each of the ten cases on January 5, 2007.
Additional actions against Citigroup and its affiliates were filed beginning in 2002 in the Southern District of Texas and other various jurisdictions. Certain of these remain pending, including: (i) actions brought by investors in Enron securities; (ii) actions brought by commercial banks that participated in Enron revolving credit facilities and/or purchasers of Enron bank debt in the secondary market; (iii) actions filed by Enron in its Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings seeking to recover payments to Citigroup as alleged preferences or fraudulent conveyances, to disallow or equitably subordinate claims of Citigroup and Citigroup transferees on the basis of alleged fraud, and to recover damages from Citigroup for allegedly aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty; (iv) actions brought by the Attorney General of Connecticut in connection with an Enron-related transaction; (v) an action brought by certain trusts that issued securities linked to Enron’s credit, by the related indenture trustee and certain holders of those securities; (vi) an action brought by a utility, alleging that Citigroup and others aided Enron in fraudulently overcharging for electricity; and (vii) actions by a bank that entered into credit derivative swap transactions with Citibank.
Research
WorldCom, Inc. Beginning in 2002, Citigroup, CGM and certain executive officers and current and former employees (along with, in many cases, other investment banks, certain WorldCom officers and directors, and/or accountants) were named as defendants in a series of individual and putative class action lawsuits relating to the underwriting of WorldCom securities and the issuance of research analyst reports concerning WorldCom. The putative class action and the majority of the individual actions were consolidated in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York as In re WORLDCOM, INC. SECURITIES LITIGATION; certain individual actions remained pending in other state and federal courts. Citigroup settled the consolidated putative class action in May 2004. Citigroup has now settled all but four of the WorldCom-related individual actions. One of the four remaining actions, HOLMES, et al. v. GRUBMAN, et al., was dismissed by the District Court; an appeal is pending in the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
Telecommunications Research Class Actions. Beginning in 2002, Citigroup, CGM and certain executive officers and current and former employees were named as defendants in a series of putative class action lawsuits, alleging violations of the federal securities laws, including Sections 10 and 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in connection with Citigroup research analyst reports concerning seven issuers: AT&T Corp. (‘‘AT&T’’), Winstar Communications, Inc. (‘‘Winstar’’), Level 3 Communications, Inc. (‘‘Level 3’’), Metromedia Fiber Network, Inc. (‘‘MFN’’), XO Communications, Inc. (‘‘XO’’), Williams Communications Group Inc. (‘‘Williams’’), and Focal Communications, Inc. (‘‘Focal’’). These putative class actions were assigned to a single judge in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for coordinated proceedings. The court consolidated these actions into seven separate proceedings corresponding to the seven issuers of securities involved.
Citigroup has settled five of the seven actions. On August 17, 2006, the court approved Citigroup’s settlement of the AT&T action, In re SALOMON ANALYST AT&T LITIGATION. On September 29, 2006, the court approved Citigroup’s settlements of the Level 3, XO and Williams actions, In re SALOMON ANALYST LEVEL 3 LITIGATION, In re SALOMON ANALYST XO LITIGATION, and In re SALOMON ANALYST WILLIAMS LITIGATION, respectively. On November 14, 2006, the court
preliminarily approved Citigroup’s settlement of the Focal action, LOS ANGELES CITY EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT ASSOCIATION v. CITIGROUP. A hearing on the final approval of the Focal settlement was scheduled for March 23, 2007.
The Winstar action, In re SALOMON ANALYST WINSTAR LITIGATION, was dismissed with prejudice in its entirety on January 6, 2005. The MFN action, In re SALOMON ANALYST METROMEDIA LITIGATION, remains pending. On January 6, 2005, the District Court granted in part and denied in part Citigroup’s motion to dismiss the claims against it. On June 20, 2006, the District Court certified the plaintiff class in the MFN action. The District Court’s class certification decision is on appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
Global Crossing, Ltd. In January 2004, the Global Crossing Estate Representative filed an adversary action in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York against Citigroup and several other banks seeking to rescind the payment of a loan made to a Global Crossing subsidiary. Citigroup moved to dismiss the action in May 2004, and the motion remains pending.
Qwest-related Actions. Beginning in 2003, Citigroup and CGM (along with, in many cases, other investment banks, certain Qwest officers and directors and accountants) were named as defendants in a series of actions alleging violations of state and federal securities laws in connection with the underwriting of, and research analyst reports concerning, Qwest Communications International Inc. (‘‘Qwest’’). Citigroup either settled or obtained dismissal of several such cases. In October 2006, Citigroup settled the two remaining Qwest-related actions: CALIFORNIA STATE TEACHERS’ RETIREMENT SYSTEM v. QWEST COMMUNICATIONS INTERNATIONAL INC., et al., and STATE UNIVERSITIES RETIREMENT SYSTEM OF ILLINOIS v. QWEST COMMUNICATIONS INTERNATIONAL INC., et al.
Customer Class Actions. On May 18, 2006, the District Court gave final approval to the settlement in NORMAN v. SALOMON SMITH BARNEY, a putative class action asserting violations of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and various common law claims in connection with certain customers who maintained guided portfolio management accounts at Smith Barney.
In March 2004, a putative research-related customer class action alleging various state law claims arising out of the issuance of allegedly misleading research analyst reports, DISHER v. CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS INC., was filed in Illinois state court. Citigroup removed this action to federal court, and in August 2005 the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit reversed the District Court’s August 2004 order remanding the case to state court, and directed the District Court to dismiss plaintiffs’ claims as pre-empted. On June 26, 2006, the United States Supreme Court granted plaintiffs’ petition for a writ of certiorari, vacated the Seventh Circuit’s opinion and remanded the case to the Seventh Circuit for further proceedings. On January 22, 2007, the Seventh Circuit dismissed Citigroup’s appeal from the District Court’s removal order for lack of appellate jurisdiction. On February 1, 2007, plaintiffs secured an order reopening this case in Illinois state court, and on February 16, Citigroup removed the reopened action to federal court.
Arbitrations. In addition to the various lawsuits discussed above, similar claims against Citigroup and certain of its affiliates relating to research analyst reports concerning the securities mentioned above, and other securities, are pending in numerous arbitrations around the country.
Adelphia Communications Corporation
On July 6, 2003, an adversary proceeding was filed by the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors on behalf of Adelphia Communications Corporation against certain lenders and investment banks, including CGM, Citibank, N.A., Citicorp USA, Inc., and Citigroup Financial Products, Inc. (together, the ‘‘Citigroup Parties’’). The complaint alleges that the Citigroup Parties and numerous other defendants committed acts in violation of the Bank Holding Company Act and common law. The complaints seek equitable relief and an unspecified amount of compensatory and punitive damages. In November 2003, a similar adversary proceeding was filed by the Equity Holders Committee of Adelphia. In June 2004, motions to dismiss were filed with respect to the complaints of the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors and the Equity Holders Committee. The motions are currently pending.
In addition, CGM is among the underwriters named in numerous civil actions brought to date by investors in Adelphia debt securities in connection with Adelphia securities offerings between September
1997 and October 2001. Three of the complaints also assert claims against Citigroup Inc. and Citibank, N.A. All of the complaints allege violations of federal securities laws, and certain of the complaints also allege violations of state securities laws and the common law. The complaint seeks unspecified damages. In December 2003, a second amended complaint was filed and consolidated before the same judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. In February 2004, motions to dismiss the class and individual actions pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York were filed. In May and July of 2005, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York granted motions to dismiss several claims, based on the running of applicable statute of limitations, asserted in the putative class and individual actions being coordinated under IN RE ADELPHIA COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION SECURITIES AND DERIVATIVE LITIGATION. With the exception of one individual action that was dismissed with prejudice, the court granted the putative class and individual plaintiffs leave to re-plead certain of those claims the court found to be time-barred. Without admitting any liability, CGM and numerous other financial institution defendants settled IN RE ADELPHIA COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION SECURITIES AND DERIVATIVE LITIGATION for a total of $250 million, and the settlement was approved in November 2006. Two of the additional remaining individual complaints have been settled.
Mutual Funds
Citigroup and certain of its affiliates have been named in several class action litigations pending in various federal District Courts arising out of alleged violations of the federal securities laws, including the Investment Company Act, and common law (including breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment). The claims concern practices in connection with the sale of mutual funds, including allegations involving market timing, revenue sharing, incentive payments for the sale of proprietary funds, undisclosed breakpoint discounts for the sale of certain classes of funds, inappropriate share class recommendations and inappropriate fund investments. The litigations involving market timing have been consolidated under the Multi District rules in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the ‘‘MDL action’’), and the litigations involving revenue sharing, incentive payment and other issues are pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The plaintiffs in these litigations generally seek unspecified compensatory damages, recessionary damages, injunctive relief, costs and fees. In the principal cases concerning revenue sharing, incentive payment and other issues, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated and amended complaint on December 15, 2004. Citigroup defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint was substantially granted; a motion to dismiss the remaining claim has been filed. Several derivative actions and class actions were also dismissed against Citigroup defendants in the MDL action (the class actions were dismissed with leave to re-plead state law claims of unjust enrichment).
Issues in the mutual-fund industry continue to receive scrutiny by various government regulators and self regulatory agencies. CGM reached an agreement in principle with the NYSE to settle a matter related to its market-timing practices prior to September 2003.
IPO Securities Litigation
In April 2002, consolidated amended complaints were filed against CGM and other investment banks named in numerous putative class actions filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging violations of certain federal securities laws (including Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) with respect to the allocation of shares for certain initial public offerings and related aftermarket transactions and damage to investors caused by allegedly biased research analyst reports. Defendants’ motion to dismiss was denied. On October 13, 2004, the court granted in part the motion to certify class actions for six focus cases in the securities litigation. CGM is not a defendant in any of the six focus cases. In December 2006, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reversed the District Court and held that the matter could not proceed as a class action. The plaintiffs filed a petition for rehearing in January 2007.
IPO Antitrust Litigation
Beginning in March 2001, several putative class actions that were later consolidated into a single class action were filed in the Southern District of New York against CGM and other investment banks, alleging
violations of certain federal and state antitrust laws in connection with the allocation of shares in initial public offerings when acting as underwriters. A separate putative class action was filed against the same underwriter defendants as well as certain institutional investors alleging commercial bribery claims under the Robinson Patman Act arising out of similar allegations regarding IPO allocation conduct. On November 3, 2003, the District Court granted CGM’s motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the antitrust case and the Robinson Patman complaint. Plaintiffs thereafter appealed the District Court’s order dismissing the two actions. On September 28, 2005, the Second Circuit vacated the District Court’s decision and ordered the cases remanded to the District Court. In December 2006, the United States Supreme Court granted the underwriter defendants’ petition for certiorari to review the Second Circuit’s decision and set oral argument for March 2007.
Auction Rate Securities
On May 31, 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the ‘‘SEC’’) instituted and simultaneously settled proceedings against CGM and 14 other broker-dealers regarding practices in the Auction Rate Securities market. The SEC alleged that the broker-dealers violated Section 17(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The broker-dealers, without admitting or denying liability, consented to the entry of an SEC cease-and-desist order providing for censures, undertakings, and penalties. CGM paid a penalty of $1.5 million.
In the course of its business, CGM, as a major futures commission merchant and broker-dealer, is a party to various claims and routine regulatory investigations and proceedings that the General Partner believes do not have a material effect on the business of Citigroup Global Markets.

Overview
The Partnership, through its investment in other Funds aims to achieve substantial capital appreciation through speculative trading, in U.S. and international markets for currencies, interest rates, stock indices, agricultural and energy products and precious and base metals. The Partnership may employ futures, options on futures, and forward contracts in those markets.
The General Partner manages all business of the Partnership. The General Partner has delegated its responsibility for the investment of the Partnership’s assets to Campbell, Aspect and Altis (each an ‘‘Advisor’’ and collectively, the ‘‘Advisors’’). The General Partner employs a team of approximately 20 professionals whose primary emphasis is on attempting to maintain quality control among the advisors to the partnerships operated or managed by the General Partner. A full-time staff of due diligence professionals use state-of-the-art technology and on-site evaluations to monitor new and existing futures money managers. The accounting and operations staff provide processing of trading activity and reporting to limited partners and regulatory authorities. In selecting the Advisors for the Partnership, the General Partner considered past performance, trading style, volatility of markets traded and fee requirements.
Responsibilities of the General Partner include:
• due diligence examinations of the Advisors;
• selection, appointment and termination of the Advisors;
• negotiation of the Management Agreements; and
• monitoring the activity of the Advisors.
In addition, the General Partner prepares the books and records and provides the administrative and compliance services that are required by law or regulation from time to time in connection with operation of the Partnership. These services include the preparation of required books and records and reports to Limited Partners, government agencies and regulators; computation of net asset value; calculation of fees; effecting subscriptions, redemptions and limited partner communications; and preparation of offering documents and sales literature.
The General Partner shall seek the best prices and services available in its commodity futures brokerage transactions. The General Partner reviews at least annually, the brokerage rates charged to commodity pools similar to the Partnership to determine that the brokerage fee the Partnership pays is competitive with other rates.
The programs traded by each Advisor on behalf of the Partnership are: Campbell - Financial, Metal & Energy Large Portfolio (‘‘FME Large’’), Aspect - Diversified Program (‘‘Diversified’’), and Altis - The Global Financial Program. As of December 31, 2006, the Partnership’s assets were allocated among the Advisors in the following approximate percentages: Campbell, 32%, Aspect, 32%, and Altis, 36%.
Campbell & Company, Inc.
Campbell trades its FME Large portfolio for the Partnership. Campbell’s trading models are designed to detect and exploit medium-term to long-term price changes, while also applying risk management and portfolio management principles.
Campbell believes that utilizing multiple trading models provides an important level of diversification, and is most beneficial when multiple contracts of each market are traded. Every trading model may not trade every market. It is possible that one trading model may signal a long position while another trading model signals a short position in the same market. It is Campbell’s intention to offset those signals to reduce unnecessary trading, but if the signals are not simultaneous, both trades will be taken and since it is unlikely that both positions would prove profitable, in retrospect, one or both trades will appear to have been unnecessary. It is Campbell’s policy to follow trades signaled by each trading model independently of the other models.
Aspect Capital Limited.
Aspect trades its Diversified Program on behalf of the Partnership. The Diversified Program is a systematic global futures trading program. Its goal is the generation of significant long-term capital growth independent of stock and bond market returns. This program continuously monitors price movements in a wide range of global financial, currency and commodity markets, searching for profit opportunities over periods ranging from a few hours to several months.
Aspect has designed the Diversified Program to have broad market diversification (subject to liquidity constraints). Aspect’s quantitative resources are sufficient to enable it to design and implement a broadly diversified portfolio with a significant allocation to numerous different markets.
Aspect’s Diversified Program trades over 100 markets in seven major sectors: currencies, energy, metals, stock indices, bonds, agricultural commodities and interest rates implementing momentum strategies. Aspect is constantly examining new liquid and uncorrelated markets to incorporate in the program with the aim of improving its reward/risk ratio and capacity. Aspect has no market or sector preferences, believing that allowing for liquidity effects, equal profitability can be achieved in the long-term in all markets. The key factors in determining the asset allocation are correlation and liquidity. Correlations are analyzed at the sector, sub-sector, economic block and market levels to design a portfolio which is highly diversified.
Altis Partners (Jersey) Limited.
Altis trades its Global Diversified Program on behalf of the Partnership. It is a systematic, automated trading program that builds on the Principals’ market experience and employs a unique proprietary Advanced Asset Allocator. The Advanced Asset Allocator was specifically developed to manage portfolios of derivative instruments in a robust and scalable manner. The portfolio management technology combines original, traditional and contrasting investment techniques into one complete and comprehensive trading system. Investments changes are implemented after considering their effect on the whole portfolio not just the individual markets concerned.
(a) Liquidity.
The Partnership does not engage in the sales of goods or services. Its only assets are its investments in the Funds and cash. The Fund’s only assets are their equity in its commodity futures trading account, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on open futures positions, unrealized appreciation on open forward contracts and interest receivable. Because of the low margin deposits normally required in commodity futures trading, relatively small price movements may result in substantial losses to the Partnership. Such substantial losses could lead to a material loss in liquidity.
To minimize this risk relating to low margin deposits, the Partnership/Funds follows certain trading policies, including:
(i) The Partnership invests its assets in other Funds that invest the assets allocated to it only in commodity interests that an Advisor believes are traded in sufficient volume to permit ease of taking and liquidating positions. Sufficient volume, in this context, refers to a level of liquidity that the Advisor believes will permit it to enter and exit trades without noticeably moving the market.
(ii) An Advisor will not initiate additional positions in any commodity if these positions would result in aggregate positions requiring a margin of more than 66 2/3% of the Partnership’s net assets allocated to that Advisor.
(iii) The Partnership/Fund may occasionally accept delivery of a commodity. Unless such delivery is disposed of promptly by retendering the warehouse receipt representing the delivery to the appropriate clearing house, the physical commodity position is fully hedged.
(iv) The Partnership/Fund do not employ the trading technique commonly known as ‘‘pyramiding’’, in which the speculator uses unrealized profits on existing positions as margin for the purchases or sale of additional positions in the same or related commodities.
(v) The Partnership/Fund does not utilize borrowings except short-term borrowings if the Partnership takes delivery of any cash commodities.
(vi) The Advisors may, from time to time, employ trading strategies such as spreads or straddles on behalf of the Partnership. The term ‘‘spread’’ or ‘‘straddle’’ describes a commodity futures trading strategy involving the simultaneous buying and selling of futures contracts on the same commodity but involving different delivery dates or markets and in which the trader expects to earn a profit from a widening or narrowing of the difference between the prices of the two contracts.
(vii) The Partnership/Fund will not permit the churning of its commodity trading account. The term ‘‘churning’’ refers to the practice of entering and exiting trades with a frequency unwarranted by legitimate efforts to profit from the trades, driven by the desire to generate commission income.
In the normal course of business, the Partnership through its investments in the Funds, is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments. These financial instruments include forwards, futures, options and swaps, whose values are based upon an underlying asset, index or reference rate, and generally represent future commitments to exchange currencies or cash flows, or to purchase or sell other financial instruments at specified terms at specified future dates, or, in the case of derivative commodity interests, to have a reasonable possibility to be settled in cash, through physical delivery or with another financial instrument. These instruments may be traded on an exchange or over-the-counter (‘‘OTC’’). Exchange traded instruments are standardized and include futures and certain option contracts. OTC contracts are negotiated between contracting parties and include forwards, swaps and certain options. Each of these instruments is subject to various risks similar to those relating to the underlying financial instruments including market and credit risk. In general, the risks associated with OTC contracts are greater than those associated with exchange traded instruments because of the greater risk of default by the counterparty to an OTC contract.
Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial instruments traded by the other partnerships due to market changes, including interest and foreign exchange rate movements and fluctuations in commodity or security prices. Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the related underlying assets are traded.
Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may occur due to the failure of a counterparty to perform according to the terms of a contract. Credit risk with respect to exchange traded instruments is reduced to the extent that an exchange or clearing organization acts as counterparty to the transactions. The Partnership’s/other partnerships’ risk of loss in the event of counterparty default is typically limited to the amounts recognized in the Statements of Financial Condition and not represented by the contract or notional amounts of the instruments. The Partnership through its investments in the Funds, has credit risk and concentration risk because the sole counterparty or broker with respect to the Partnership’s/Fund’s assets is CGM.
The General Partner monitors and controls the Partnership’s/Fund’s risk exposure on a daily basis through financial, credit and risk management monitoring systems, and accordingly believes that it has effective procedures for evaluating and limiting the credit and market risks to which the Partnership/Fund are subject. These monitoring systems allow the General Partner to statistically analyze actual trading results with risk adjusted performance indicators and correlation statistics. In addition, online monitoring systems provide account analysis of futures, forwards and options positions by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral positions. (See also ‘‘Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data’’ for further information on financial instrument risk included in the notes to the financial statements.)
Other than the risks inherent in commodity trading, the Partnership knows of no trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties which will result in or which are reasonably likely to result in the Partnership’s liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way. The Limited Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership will cease trading operations and liquidate all open positions upon the first to occur of the following: (i) December 31, 2018; (ii) the vote to dissolve the Partnership by limited partners owning more than 50% of the Redeemable Units; (iii) assignment by the General Partner of all of its interest in the Partnership or withdrawal, removal, bankruptcy or any other event that causes the General Partner to cease to be a general partner under the New York Revised Limited Partnership Act unless the Partnership is continued as described in the Limited Partnership Agreement; (iv) Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit
falls to less than $400 as of the end of any trading day; or (v) the occurrence of any event which shall make it unlawful for the existence of the Partnership to be continued.
(b) Capital Resources.
(i) The Partnership has made no material commitments for capital expenditures.
(ii) The Partnership’s capital consists of the capital contributions of the partners as increased or decreased by gains or losses on trading and by expenses, interest income, redemptions of Redeemable Units and distributions of profits, if any. Gains or losses on trading cannot be predicted. Market moves in commodities are dependent upon fundamental and technical factors which the Advisors may or may not be able to identify, such as changing supply and demand relationships, weather, government, agricultural, commercial and trade programs and policies, national and international political and economic events and changes in interest rates. Partnership expenses consist of, among other things, commissions, advisory fees and administrative fees. The level of these expenses is dependent upon the level of trading and the ability of the Advisors to identify and take advantage of price movements in the commodity markets, in addition to the level of Net Assets maintained. In addition, the amount of interest income payable by CGM is dependent upon interest rates over which the Partnership has no control.
No forecast can be made as to the level of redemptions in any given period. A limited partner may cause all or some of their Redeemable Units to be redeemed by the Partnership at the redemption value per Redeemable Unit thereof as of the last day of any month ending at least three months after such Redeemable Units have been issued, on ten days notice to the General Partner. No fee is charged for redemptions. For the year ended December 31, 2006, 5,303.9408 Redeemable Units were redeemed totaling $8,489,067. For the year ended December 31, 2005, 3,253.3836 Redeemable Units were redeemed totaling $4,383,276. For the year ended December 31, 2004, 4,101.9750 Redeemable Units were redeemed totaling $5,527,081.
(c) Results of Operations.
For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Units increased 13.0% from $1,480.68 to $1,673.08. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit increased 10.9% from $1,334.69 to $1,480.68. For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit decreased 3.6% from $1,384.25 to $1,334.69.
The Partnership experienced a net trading gain of $9,973,881 before brokerage commissions and related fees in 2006. Gains were primarily attributable to the trading of commodity futures in currencies, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates, metals, wood and indices and were partially offset by losses in energy, grains, livestock and softs.
Trading results for the year 2006 were characterized by a number of major price trend reversals in both financial and commodity markets. Profits were earned early in the year as directional trends emerged. However, these trends did not last and major price corrections occurred in May, most notably in metals and equity indices. The advisors successfully navigated through a difficult trading environment in the summer, and benefited from the optimistic market conditions toward the end of the year. Gains were primarily attributable to trading in metals, equity indices, and financials and were partially offset by losses recognized in the trading in energy and agricultural commodities.
In the metals markets, both precious metals and based metals rallied strongly early on as demand from emerging markets continued to soar. Metals prices reached unsustainable levels in May and tumbled amid concerns that rising interest rates may slow demand. Gains were earned in metals, as the Advisors were able to capture the upward trend in prices while minimizing losses during the correction. The Partnership was well positioned to capitalize on rising global equity valuations supported by lowered oil prices and increased optimism over economic growth. Expectations regarding interest rate differentials continued to dominate the currency market for most of the year. Profits were realized in currency trading and trading US short-term rates, providing positive lift to the performance.
Partially offsetting gains were losses in energy and agricultural commodities. Losses were realized in the energy markets as a series of unanticipated supply and demand imbalances coupled with geopolitical uncertainties throughout the year produced unfavorable trading ranges and sharp price reversals for the
petroleum complex. The Partnership also suffered losses in agricultural markets as alternating meteorological conditions between drought and rainfall contributed to irregular price developments.
The Partnership experienced a net trading gain of $8,177,275 before brokerage commissions and related fees in 2005. Gains were primarily attributable to the trading of commodity futures in currencies, energy, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates, livestock, metals, softs and indices and were partially offset by losses in grains and wood.
The year 2005 was characterized by several events that made it generally difficult for the Partnership’s Advisors to navigate the markets successfully and retain profits when earned. Profits were earned in all markets except grains and wood contracts.
Both the precious and base or industrial metals sectors saw nearly uninterrupted rises in prices for the year and was the most profitable sector for partnership during the year. Of particular note was the price of gold which rose to over $500 an ounce by the end of the year. Base metals such as zinc, copper and aluminum also experienced substantial price increases as global demand and speculative trading spurred prices.
In financial markets, trading in foreign stock market indices was also profitable for the year as a resurging Japanese economy and positive political news in Europe propelled these markets out of long-term doldrums.
Crude oil and natural gas prices increased throughout the year dramatically reaching their peaks post Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. These markets provided extended trending patterns for the Partnership’s Advisors and resulted in profits for the Partnership.
Currency trading was slightly profitable with the focus being the U.S. dollar versus both European and Asian currencies. After a prolonged decline in 2004, the U.S. dollar defied expectations for further weakness and rallied in January resulting in losses for the advisors at the beginning of the year. The dollar continued strengthening through the second quarter but encountered a period of volatility at the beginning of the third quarter with the Chinese government’s decision to revalue the Chinese yuan. Weathering this volatility, the Partnership’s Advisors were able to retain profits despite a further reversal with a stronger dollar at year-end. Non-U.S. and U.S. interest rate trading was profitable as was trading in softs and livestock markets.
The Partnership experienced a net trading gain of $1,935,563 before commissions and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2004. Gains were primarily attributable to the trading of grains, lumber, livestock, energy, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates and were partially offset by losses incurred in the trading of currencies, indices, metals and softs.
In the General Partner’s opinion, the Advisors continue to employ trading methods and produce results consistent with the objectives of the Partnership and expectations for the Advisors’ programs. The General Partner continues to monitor the Advisors’ performance on a daily, weekly, monthly and annual basis to assure these objectives are met.
It should be noted that commodity markets are highly volatile. Broad price fluctuations and rapid inflation increase the risks involved in commodity trading, but also increase the possibility of profit. The profitability of the Partnership depends on the existence of major price trends and the ability of the Advisors to identify those price trends correctly. Price trends are influenced by, among other things, changing supply and demand relationships, weather, governmental, agricultural, commercial and trade programs and policies, national and international political and economic events and changes in interest rates. To the extent that market trends exist and the Advisors are able to identify them, the Partnership expects to increase capital through operations.
(d) Operational Risk.
The Partnership is directly exposed to market risk and credit risk, which arise in the normal course of its business activities. Slightly less direct, but of critical importance, are risks pertaining to operational and back office support. This is particularly the case in a rapidly changing and increasingly global environment with increasing transaction volumes and an expansion in the number and complexity of products in the marketplace.
Such risks include:
Operational/Settlement Risk - the risk of financial and opportunity loss and legal liability attributable to operational problems, such as inaccurate pricing of transactions, untimely trade execution, clearance and/or settlement, or the inability to process large volumes of transactions. The Partnership is subject to increased risks with respect to its trading activities in emerging market securities, where clearance, settlement, and custodial risks are often greater than in more established markets.
Technological Risk - the risk of loss attributable to technological limitations or hardware failure that constrain the Partnership’s ability to gather, process, and communicate information efficiently and securely, without interruption, to customers, among Redeemable Units within the Partnership, and in the markets where the Partnership participates.
Legal/Documentation Risk - the risk of loss attributable to deficiencies in the documentation of transactions (such as trade confirmations) and customer relationships (such as master netting agreements) or errors that result in noncompliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
Financial Control Risk - the risk of loss attributable to limitations in financial systems and controls. Strong financial systems and controls ensure that assets are safeguarded, that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization, and that financial information utilized by management and communicated to external parties, including the Partnership’s Redeemable Unit holders, creditors, and regulators, is free of material errors.
(e) Critical Accounting Policies.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
The value of the Partnership’s investment in other partnerships reflect the Partnership’s proportional interest in the other partnerships. All commodity interests (including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments) held by the other partnerships are used for trading purposes. The commodity interests are recorded on the trade date and open contracts are recorded in the Statements of Financial Condition at fair value on the last business day of the period, which represents market value for those commodity interests for which market quotations are readily available or other measures of fair value deemed appropriate by management of the General Partner for those commodity interests and foreign currencies for which market quotations are not readily available, including dealer quotes for swaps and certain option contracts. Investments in commodity interests denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing on the last business day of the period. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized values on commodity interests and foreign currencies are recognized in the period in which the contract is closed or the changes occur and are included in net gains (losses) on trading of commodity interests.
Foreign currency contracts are those contracts where the Partnership agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed future date. Foreign currency contracts are valued daily, and the Partnership’s net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting dates, is included in the Statements of Financial Condition. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized values on foreign currency contracts are recognized in the period in which the contract is closed or the changes occur and are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses and Changes in Partner’s Capital.
The General Partner believes that the accounting policies that will be most critical to the Partnership’s financial condition and results of operations relate to the valuation of the Funds’ positions. The majority of the Partnership’s/Fund’s positions will be exchange-traded futures contracts, which will be valued daily at settlement prices published by the exchanges. Swap contracts generally will be valued by reference to published settlement prices or dealers’ quotes in related markets or other measures of fair value deemed appropriate by the General Partner. The General Partner expects that under normal circumstances substantially all of the Partnership’s/Fund’s assets will be valued by objective measures and without difficulty.
Item 7A.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Introduction
All of the Partnership’s assets are subject to the risk of trading loss through its investments in the Funds. The Funds are speculative commodity pools. The market sensitive instruments held by it are acquired for speculative trading purposes, and all or substantially all of the Funds’ assets are subject to the risk of trading loss. Unlike an operating company, the risk of market sensitive instruments is integral, not incidental, to the Funds’ main line of business.
The risk to the limited partners that have purchased Redeemable Units in the Partnership is limited to the amount of their capital contributions to the Partnership and their share of the Partnership assets and undistributed profits. This limited liability is a consequence of the organization of the Partnership as a limited partnership under applicable law.
Market movements result in frequent changes in the fair market value of the Funds’ open positions and, consequently, in its earnings and cash flow. The Funds’ market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including the level and volatility of interest rates, exchange rates, equity price levels, the market value of financial instruments and contracts, the diversification effects among the Funds’ open positions and the liquidity of the markets in which they trade.
The Funds rapidly acquire and liquidate both long and short positions in a wide range of different markets. Consequently, it is not possible to predict how a particular future market scenario will affect performance, and the Funds’ past performance are not necessarily indicative of their future results.
Value at Risk is a measure of the maximum amount which the Funds could reasonably be expected to lose in a given market sector. However, the inherent uncertainty of the Funds’ speculative trading and the recurrence in the markets traded by the Funds of market movements far exceeding expectations could result in actual trading or non-trading losses far beyond the indicated Value at Risk or the Funds’ experience to date (i.e., ‘‘risk of ruin’’). In light of the foregoing as well as the risks and uncertainties intrinsic to all future projections, the inclusion of the quantification in this section should not be considered to constitute any assurance or representation that the Funds’ losses in any market sector will be limited to Value at Risk or by the Funds’ attempts to manage its market risk.
Quantifying the Partnership’s Trading Value at Risk
The following quantitative disclosures regarding the Funds’ 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), as amended (‘‘the Securities Act’’). 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 terms of particular contracts and the number of market risk sensitive instruments held during or at the end of the reporting period).
The Funds’ risk exposure in the various market sectors traded by the Funds’ is quantified below in terms of Value at Risk. Due to the Partnership’s mark-to-market accounting, any loss in the fair value of the Funds’ open positions is directly reflected in the Partnership’s earnings (realized and unrealized).
Exchange maintenance margin requirements have been used by the Funds 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 (including the implied volatility of the options on a given futures contract) 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 the more generally available initial margin, because initial margin includes a credit risk component which is not relevant to Value at Risk.
In the case of market sensitive instruments which are not exchange traded (almost exclusively currencies in the case of the Funds), the margin requirements for the equivalent futures positions have been used as Value at Risk. In those rare cases in which a futures-equivalent margin is not available, dealers’ margins have been used.
The fair value of the Funds’ futures and forward positions does not have any optionality component. However, certain of the Advisors trade commodity options. Where this instrument is a futures contract, the futures margin has been used, and where this instrument is a physical commodity, the futures-equivalent maintenance margin has been used. This calculation is conservative in that it assumes that the fair value of an option will decline by the same amount as the fair value of the underlying instrument, whereas, in fact, the fair values of the options traded by the Partnership in almost all cases fluctuate to a lesser extent than those of the underlying instruments.
In quantifying the Partnership/Funds’ 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 added to determine each trading category’s aggregate Value at Risk. The diversification effects resulting from the fact that the Funds’ positions are rarely, if ever, 100% positively correlated have not been reflected.
The Partnership’s Trading Value at Risk in Different Market Sectors
The following tables indicate the trading Value at Risk associated with the Partnership’s investment in the Funds by market category as of December 31, 2006 and the highest, lowest and average values at any point during the year. All open position trading risk exposures of the Partnership/Funds have been included in calculating the figures set forth below.
As of December 31, 2006, Campbell Master’s total capitalization was $327,090,390. The Partnership owned 4.4% of Campbell Master.
December 31, 2006
* Annual average based on month-end Value at Risk
As of December 31, 2006, Aspect Master’s total capitalization was $211,758,913. The Partnership owned 7.0% of Aspect Master.
December 31, 2006
* Annual average based on month-end Value at Risk
As of December 31, 2006, Altis Master’s total capitalization was $45,727,192. The Partnership owned 38.5% of Altis Master.
December 31, 2006
* Annual average based on month-end Value at Risk
Material Limitations on Value at Risk as an Assessment of Market Risk
The face value of the market sector instruments held by the Funds’ are typically many times the applicable maintenance margin requirement (margin requirements generally range between 2% and 15% of contract face value) as well as many times the capitalization of the Funds. The magnitude of the Funds’ 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 Partnership to incur severe losses over a short period of time. The foregoing Value at Risk table - as well as the past performance of the Funds - give no indication of this ‘‘risk of ruin.’’
Non-Trading Risk
The Funds have non-trading market risk on their foreign cash balances not needed for margin. However, these balances (as well as any market risk they represent) are immaterial.
Materiality as used in this section, ‘‘Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk,’’ is based on an assessment of reasonably possible market movements and the potential losses caused by such movements, taking into account the leverage, optionality and multiplier features of the Funds’ market sensitive instruments.
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Primary Trading Risk Exposures
The following qualitative disclosures regarding the Partnership’s/Funds’ market risk exposures - except for (i) those disclosures that are statements of historical fact and (ii) the descriptions of how the Partnership 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 Exchange Act. The Partnership’s primary market risk exposures as well as the strategies used and to be used by the General Partner and the Advisors for managing such exposures are subject to numerous uncertainties, contingencies and risks, any one of which could cause the actual results of the Partnership’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 management strategies of the Partnership/Funds. There can be no assurance that the Partnership’s/Funds’ 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 Partnership.
The following were the primary trading risk exposures of the Partnership through its investment in the Funds as of December 31, 2006 by market sector:
Interest Rates. Interest rate movements directly affect the price of the futures positions held by the Partnership/Funds’ 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 Partnership’s profitability. The Partnership’s primary interest rate exposure is to interest rate fluctuations in the U.S. and the other G-8 countries.
Currencies. The Partnership’s through its investment in the Funds’ 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 Partnership’s through its investment in the Funds’ major exposures have typically been in the dollar/yen, dollar/Swiss franc and dollar/pound positions. The General Partner does not anticipate that the risk profile of the Partnership’s currency sector will change significantly in the future. The currency trading Value at Risk figure includes foreign margin amounts converted into U.S. dollars with an incremental adjustment to reflect the exchange rate risk inherent to the dollar-based Partnership in expressing Value at Risk in a functional currency other than U.S. dollars.
Stock Indices. The Partnership’s through its investment in the Funds’ primary equity exposure is to equity price risk in the G-8 countries. The stock index futures traded by the Partnership/Fund are limited to futures on broadly based indices. As of December 31, 2005, the Partnership’s/Funds’ primary exposures were in the LIFFE (England), Nikkei (Japan), EUREX (German) and S&P (U.S.) stock indices. The Partnership/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 Partnership/Fund to avoid being ‘‘whipsawed’’ into numerous small losses.)
Metals. The Partnership’s through its investment in the Funds, primary metal market exposure is to fluctuations in the price of copper and aluminum.
Softs. The Partnership’s through its investment in the Funds, primary commodities exposure is to agricultural price movements which are often directly affected by severe or unexpected weather conditions.
Energy. The Partnership’s through its investment in the Funds’, primary energy market exposure is to natural gas and oil price movements, often resulting from political developments in the Middle East. Oil prices can be volatile and substantial profits and losses have been and are expected to continue to be experienced in this market.
Grains. The Partnership’s through its investment in the Funds’ primary commodities exposure is to agricultural price movements which are often directly affected by severe and unexpected weather conditions.
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Non-Trading Risk Exposure
The following were the only non-trading risk exposures of the Partnership as of December 31, 2006.
Foreign Currency Balances. The Partnership’s through its investment in the Funds, primary foreign currency balances are in Japanese yen, Euro dollars, British pounds and Australian dollars. The Advisor regularly converts foreign currency balances to dollars in an attempt to control the Partnership’s non-trading risk.
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Means of Managing Risk Exposure
The General Partner monitors and controls the Partnership’s/Funds’ risk exposure on a daily basis through financial, credit and risk management monitoring systems and accordingly believes that it has effective procedures for evaluating and limiting the credit and market risks to which the Partnership/Funds’ are subject.
The General Partner monitors the Partnership’s performance and the concentration of its open positions, and consults with the Advisors concerning the Partnership’s overall risk profile. If the General Partner felt it necessary to do so, the General Partner could require the Advisors to close out individual positions as well as enter certain positions traded on behalf of the Partnership. However, any such intervention would be a highly unusual event. The General Partner primarily relies on the Advisors’ own risk control policies while maintaining a general supervisory overview of the Partnership’s/Funds’ market risk exposures.
Each Advisor applies its own risk management policies to its trading. The Advisors often follow diversification guidelines, margin limits and stop loss points to exit a position. The Advisors’ research of risk management often suggests ongoing modifications to their trading programs.
As part of the General Partner’s risk management, the General Partner periodically meets with the Advisors to discuss their risk management and to look for any material changes to the Advisors’ portfolio balance and trading techniques. The Advisors are required to notify the General Partner of any material changes to their programs.

The Partners
Salomon Smith Barney Global Diversified Futures Fund L.P.:
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of Salomon Smith Barney Global Diversified Futures Fund L.P. (the ‘‘Partnership’’), including the condensed schedules of investments, as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of income and expenses, changes in partners’ capital, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Salomon Smith Barney Global Diversified Futures Fund L.P. as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations, changes in its partners’ capital and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

1. Partnership Organization:
Salomon Smith Barney Global Diversified Futures Fund L.P. (the ‘‘Partnership’’) is a limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of New York on June 15, 1998 to engage in the speculative trading of a diversified portfolio of commodity interests, including futures contracts, options and forwards. The commodity interests that are traded by the Partnership are volatile and involve a high degree of market risk.
Between November 25, 1998 (commencement of the offering period) and February 1, 1999, 33,379 Redeemable Units of Limited Partnership Interest (‘‘Redeemable Units’’) were sold at $1,000 per Redeemable Unit. The proceeds of the initial offering were held in an escrow account until February 2, 1999, at which time they were turned over to the Partnership for trading. The Partnership was authorized to sell 100,000 Redeemable Units during its offering period which ended November 25, 2000.
Citigroup Managed Futures LLC acts as the general partner (the ‘‘General Partner’’) of the Partnership. The Partnership’s commodity broker is Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (‘‘CGM’’). CGM is an affiliate of the General Partner. The General Partner is wholly owned by Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. (‘‘CGMHI’’), which is also the sole owner of CGM. CGMHI is a wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc.
The General Partner and each Limited Partner share in the profits and losses of the Partnership in proportion to the amount of partnership interest owned by each except that no Limited Partner shall be liable for obligations of the Partnership in excess of their initial capital contribution and profits, if any, net of distributions.
The Partnership will be liquidated upon the first to occur of the following: December 31, 2018; the Net Asset Value of a Redeemable Unit decreases to less than $400 per Redeemable Unit as of a close of any business day; or under certain other circumstances as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement.
2. Accounting Policies:
a. The value of the Partnership’s investments in other partnerships reflects the Partnership’s proportional interest in the other partnerships. All commodity interests (including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments) held by the other partnerships are used for trading purposes. The commodity interests are recorded on trade date and open contracts are recorded in the Statements of Financial Condition at fair value on the last business day of the year, which represents market value for those commodity interests for which market quotations are readily available. Investments in commodity interests denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing on the last business day of the year. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on open positions are recognized in the period in which the contract is closed or the changes occur and are included in net gains (losses) on trading of commodity interests.
b. The Partnership may purchase and write (sell) options. An option is a contract allowing, but not requiring, its holder to buy (call) or sell (put) a specific or standard commodity or financial instrument at a specified price during a specified time period. The option premium is the total price paid or received for the option contract. When the Partnership writes an option, the premium received is recorded as a liability in the statements of financial condition and marked to market daily. When the Partnership purchases an option, the premium paid is recorded as an asset in the Statements of Financial Condition and marked to market daily.
c. Income taxes have not been provided as each partner is individually liable for the taxes, if any, on their Share of the Partnership’s Income and Expenses.
On July 13, 2006, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48 ‘‘Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes’’ (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be
Salomon Smith Barney
Global Diversified Futures Fund L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements
recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Partnership’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are ‘‘more-likely-than-not’’ of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax positions as of the effective date. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the Partnership.
d. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
e. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
3. Agreements:
a. Limited Partnership Agreement:
The General Partner administers the business and affairs of the Partnership including selecting one or more advisors to make trading decisions for the Partnership.
b. Management Agreement:
The General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, has entered into Management Agreements with Campbell & Company, Inc. (‘‘Campbell’’), Aspect Capital Limited (‘‘Aspect’’) and Altis Partners (Jersey) Limited (‘‘Altis’’) (collectively, the ‘‘Advisors’’), each of which are registered commodity trading advisors. The Advisors are not affiliated with one another, are not affiliated with the General Partner or CGM and are not responsible for the organization or operation of the Partnership. The Partnership will pay each Advisor a monthly management fee equal to 1/6 of 1% (2% a year) of month-end Net Assets allocated to the Advisor, except for Aspect, which will receive a monthly management fee equal to 1/12 of 1.25% (1.25% a year) of month-end Net Assets allocated to it. Month-end Net Assets, for the purpose of calculating management fees are Net Assets, as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement, prior to the reduction of redemptions and incentive fees.
In addition, the Partnership is obligated to pay each Advisor an incentive fee, payable annually, equal to 20% of the New Trading Profits, as defined in the Management Agreements, earned by each Advisor for the Partnership.
c. Customer Agreement:
The Partnership has entered into a Customer Agreement which provides that the Partnership will pay CGM a monthly brokerage fee equal to 9/20 of 1% (5.4% per year) of month-end Net Assets, allocated from other Partnerships, in lieu of brokerage commissions on a per trade basis. Month-end Net Assets, for the purpose of calculating commissions are Net Assets, as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement, prior to the reduction of accrued expenses and redemptions payable. CGM will pay a portion of brokerage fees to its financial advisors who have sold Redeemable Units in this Partnership. Brokerage fees will be paid for the life of the Partnership, although the rate at which such fees are paid may be changed. All National Futures Association (‘‘NFA’’) fees, exchange, clearing, user, give-up and floor brokerage fees will be borne by the other Partnerships and allocated to the Partnership through its investment in the other Partnerships. All

Notes to Financial Statements
of the Partnership’s assets are deposited in the Partnership’s account at CGM. The Partnership’s cash is deposited by CGM in segregated bank accounts to the extent required by Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulations. CGM will pay the Partnership interest on 80% of the average daily equity maintained in cash in its account during each month at a 30-day U.S. Treasury bill rate determined weekly by CGM based on the average noncompetitive yield on 3-month U.S. Treasury bills maturing in 30 days from the date on which such weekly rate is determined. The Customer Agreement between the Partnership and CGM gives the Partnership the legal right to net unrealized gains and losses. The Customer Agreement may be terminated upon notice by either party.
4. Trading Activities:
The Partnership was formed for the purpose of trading contracts in a variety of commodity interests, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity interests. The results of the Partnership’s investment in other Partnerships are shown in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
All of the commodity interests owned by the Partnership are held for trading purposes. The average fair value of the commodity interests during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, based on a monthly calculation, was $0 and $916,485, respectively.

pooled accounts are permitted to be a Limited Partner of Altis Master.

Expenses as a result of the investment in Altis Master are approximately the same and redemption rights are not affected.
Campbell Master’s, Aspect Master’s and Altis Master’s (the ‘‘Master Funds’’) trading of futures, forwards and options contracts, if applicable, on commodities is done primarily on United States of America commodity exchanges and foreign commodity exchanges. The Master Funds engage in such trading through commodity brokerage accounts maintained by CGM.
A Limited Partner may withdraw all or part of their capital contribution and undistributed profits, if any from the Master Funds in multiples of the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit of Limited Partnership Interest as of the last day of the month after a request for redemption has been made to the General Partner at least 3 days in advance of month-end.

There is no fee charged to limited partners in connection with redemptions.

7. Financial Highlights:
Changes in the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit of Limited Partnership Interest for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 were as follows:
* Includes brokerage commissions.
** Excludes brokerage commissions.
*** Interest income less total expenses (exclusive of incentive fees).
The above ratios may vary for individual investors based on the timing of capital transactions during the year. Additionally, these ratios are calculated for the Limited Partner class using the Limited Partners’ share of income, expenses and average net assets.
8. Financial Instrument Risks:
In the normal course of its business, the Partnership, through its investments in other partnerships, is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments. These financial instruments may include forwards, futures and options, whose values are based upon an underlying asset, index, or reference rate, and generally represent future commitments to exchange currencies or cash flows, or to purchase or sell other financial instruments at specific terms at specified future dates, or, in the case of derivative commodity instruments, to have a reasonable possibility to be settled in cash, through physical delivery or with another financial instrument. These instruments may be traded on an exchange or over-the-counter (‘‘OTC’’). Exchange traded instruments are standardized and include futures and certain option contracts. OTC contracts are negotiated between contracting parties and include forwards and certain options. Each of these instruments is subject to various risks similar to those related to the underlying financial instruments including market and credit risk. In general, the risks associated with OTC contracts are greater than those associated with exchange traded instruments because of the greater risk of default by the a counterparty to an OTC contract.
Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial instruments traded by the other partnerships due to market changes, including interest and foreign exchange rate movements and
Salomon Smith Barney
Global Diversified Futures Fund L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements
fluctuations in commodity or security prices. Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the related underlying assets are traded.
Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may occur due to the failure of a counterparty to perform according to the terms of a contract. Credit risk with respect to exchange traded instruments is reduced to the extent that an exchange or clearing organization acts as a counterparty to the transactions. The Partnership’s/other partnerships’ risk of loss in the event of a counterparty default is typically limited to the amounts recognized in the Statements of Financial Condition and not represented by the contract or notional amounts of the instruments. The Partnership through its investments in other partnerships has credit risk and concentration risk because the sole counterparty or broker with respect to the Partnership’s/other partnerships’ assets is CGM.
The General Partner monitors and controls the Partnership’s/other partnerships’ risk exposure on a daily basis through financial, credit and risk management monitoring systems, and accordingly believes that it has effective procedures for evaluating and limiting the credit and market risks to which the Partnership/other partnerships are subject. These monitoring systems allow the General Partner to statistically analyze actual trading results with risk adjusted performance indicators and correlation statistics. In addition, on-line monitoring systems provide account analysis of futures, forwards and options positions by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral positions.
The majority of these instruments mature within one year of December 31, 2006. However, due to the nature of the Partnership’s/other partnerships’ business, these instruments may not be held to maturity.
Selected unaudited quarterly financial data for the Partnership for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 are summarized below:

These financial instruments may include forwards, futures and options, whose values are based upon an underlying asset, index, or reference rate, and generally represent future commitments to exchange currencies or cash flows, or to purchase or sell other financial instruments at specific terms at specified future dates, or, in the case of derivative commodity instruments, to have a reasonable possibility to be settled in cash, through physical delivery or with another financial instrument. These instruments may be traded on an exchange or over-the-counter (‘‘OTC’’). Exchange traded instruments are standardized and include futures and certain option contracts. OTC contracts are negotiated between contracting parties and include forwards and certain options. Each of these instruments is subject to various risks similar to those related to the underlying financial instruments including market and credit risk. In general, the risks associated with OTC contracts are greater than those associated with exchange traded instruments because of the greater risk of default by the counterparty to an OTC contract.
Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial instruments traded by the Master due to market changes, including interest and foreign exchange rate movements and fluctuations in commodity or security prices. Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the related underlying assets are traded.
Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may occur due to the failure of a counterparty to perform according to the terms of a contract. Credit risk with respect to exchange traded instruments is reduced to

Notes to Financial Statements
the extent that an exchange or clearing organization acts as a counterparty to the transactions. The Master’s risk of loss in the event of counterparty default is typically limited to the amounts recognized in the Statements of Financial Condition and not represented by the contract or notional amounts of the instruments. The Master has credit risk and concentration risk because the sole counterparty or broker with respect to the Master’s assets is CGM.
The General Partner monitors and controls the Master’s risk exposure on a daily basis through financial, credit and risk management monitoring systems, and accordingly believes that it has effective procedures for evaluating and limiting the credit and market risks to which the Master is subject. These monitoring systems allow the General Partner to statistically analyze actual trading results with risk adjusted performance indicators and correlation statistics. In addition, on-line monitoring systems provide account analysis of futures, forwards and options positions by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral positions.
The majority of these instruments mature within one year of December 31, 2006. However, due to the nature of the Master’s business, these instruments may not be held to maturity.

Independent Auditor’s Report
The Partners
CMF Altis Partners Master Fund L.P.:
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of CMF Altis Partners Master Fund L.P. (the ‘‘Partnership’’), including the condensed schedules of investments, as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of income and expenses, changes in partners’ capital, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2006 and for the period November 1, 2005 (commencement of trading operations) to December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards as established by the Auditing Standards Board (United States) and in accordance with the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Partnership is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CMF Altis Partners Master Fund L.P. as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations, changes in its partners’ capital and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2006 and for the period November 1, 2005 to December 31, 2005 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The Master’s investors consist of Global Diversified, Emerging CTA and CMF Institutional (each a ‘‘Feeder’’, collectively the ‘‘Funds’’) with an ownership interest of 38.5%, 35.1% and 26.4%, respectively, of the Master at December 31, 2006, Diversified and Emerging CTA held 72.6% and 27.4% of the Master respectively, as of December 31, 2005.

d. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
