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 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. Citigroup Managed Futures LLC acts as the general partner (the "General Partner") of the Partnership. 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, 2005, 2004 and 2003 are reported in the Statements of Changes in Partners' Capital on page under "Item 8.

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 for trading were invested in the CMF Aspect Master Fund L.P.

The General Partner and Altis believe that trading through this structure should promote efficiency and economy in the trading process.

As of December 31, 2005, the Partnership owns 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 Master 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.
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").
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, 2005, all commodity trading decisions are made for the Partnership by Campbell, Aspect and Altis (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.
Pursuant to the terms of the management agreements (the "Management Agreements"), the Partnership is obligated to pay each Advisor a monthly management fee 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.

(i) through (x) - Not applicable.
(xi) through (xii) - Not applicable.

(d) Financial Information About Geographic Areas. The Partnership does not engage in sales of goods or services or own any long lived assets and therefore this item is not applicable.

Item 1A.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
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.
Due to the speculative nature of trading commodity interests, an investor could lose all of its investment in the Partnership.
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 units is limited and no market exists for the units.
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.
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.
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.
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, CGM.
Item 3.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
There have been no material administrative, civil or criminal actions within the past five years against Citigroup Global Markets or any of its individual principals and no such actions are currently pending, except as follows.
Regulatory Matters
Both the Department of Labor and the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") have advised Citigroup Global Markets that they were or are reviewing transactions in which Ameritech Pension Trust purchased from Citigroup Global Markets and certain affiliates approximately $20.9 million in participations in a portfolio of motels owned by Motels of America, Inc. and Best Inns, Inc. With respect to the IRS review, Citigroup Global Markets and certain affiliated entities have consented to extensions of time for the assessment of excise taxes that may be claimed to be due with respect to the transactions for the years 1987, 1988 and 1989.
IPO Regulatory Inquiries
Since April 2002, Citigroup Global Markets and several other broker dealers have received subpoenas and/or requests for information from various governmental and self-regulatory agencies and Congressional committees as part of their research on IPO allocation inquiries. With respect to issues raised by the NASD, the NYSE and the SEC about Citigroup Global Markets' and other firms' e-mail retention practices, Citigroup Global Markets and several other broker/dealers and the NASD, the NYSE and the SEC entered into a settlement agreement in December 2002. Citigroup Global Markets agreed to pay a penalty in the amount of $1.65 million and did not admit any wrongdoing. No individuals from Citigroup Global Markets have been charged in the IPO allocation proceedings.
IPO Civil Litigation
In April 2002, consolidated amended complaints were filed against Citigroup Global Markets and other investment banks named in numerous alleged 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. On February 19, 2003, the Court issued an opinion denying defendants' motion to dismiss.
On October 13, 2004, the court granted in part the motion to certify class actions for six focus cases in the securities litigation. Citigroup Global Markets is not a defendant in any of the six focus cases. The underwriter defendants in the focus cases have filed a petition to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit seeking review of this decision.
On June 30, 2005, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit entered an order in In Re: Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation agreeing to review the district court's order granting plaintiffs' motion for class certification.
Also filed in the Southern District of New York against Citigroup Global Markets and other investment banks were several alleged class actions that were consolidated into a single class action alleging violations of certain federal and state antitrust laws in connection with the allocation of shares in initial public offerings when acting as underwriters. On November 3, 2003, the court granted Citigroup Global Markets' motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the antitrust case. On September 28, 2005, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in In Re: Initial Public Offering Antitrust Litigation vacated the district court's order dismissing these actions and remanded for further proceedings.
Research Settlement
On April 28, 2003, Citigroup Global Markets announced final agreements with the SEC, the NASD, the NYSE and the New York Attorney General (as lead state among the 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico) to resolve on a civil basis all of their outstanding investigations into its research and IPO allocation and distribution practices (the "Research Settlement"). As part of the Research Settlement, Citigroup Global Markets has consented to the entry of (1) an injunction under the federal securities laws to be entered in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, barring Citigroup Global Markets from violating provisions of the federal securities laws and
related NASD and NYSE rules relating to research, certain IPO allocation practices, the safeguarding of material nonpublic information, and the maintenance of required books and records and requiring Citigroup Global Markets to adopt and enforce new restrictions on the operation of research; (2) an NASD Acceptance Waiver and Consent requiring Citigroup Global Markets to cease and desist from violations of corresponding NASD rules and requiring Citigroup Global Markets to adopt and enforce the same new restrictions; (3) an NYSE Stipulation and Consent requiring Citigroup Global Markets to cease and desist from violations of corresponding NYSE rules and requiring Citigroup Global Markets to adopt and enforce the same new restrictions; and (4) an Assurance of Discontinuance with the New York Attorney General containing substantially the same or similar restrictions. The Research Settlement requires Citigroup Global Markets to pay $300 million for retrospective relief, plus $25 million for investor education, and commit to spend $75 million to provide independent third-party research to its clients at no charge. Citigroup Global Markets reached these final settlement agreements without admitting or denying any wrongdoing or liability. The Research Settlement does not establish wrongdoing or liability for purposes of any other proceeding. The $300 million was accrued during the fourth quarter of 2002.
To effectuate the Research Settlement, the SEC filed a Complaint and Final Judgment in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On October 31, 2003, final judgment was entered against Citigroup Global Markets and nine other investment banks. The NASD has accepted the Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent entered into with Citigroup Global Markets in connection with the Research Settlement. In May 2003, the NYSE advised Citigroup Global Markets that the Hearing Panel's Decision, in which it accepted the Research Settlement, had become final. As required by the Research Settlement, Citigroup Global Markets also has entered into separate settlement agreements with numerous states and certain U.S. territories.
Several individual actions have been filed against Citigroup and Citigroup Global Markets relating to, among other things, research on Qwest Communications International, Inc. alleging violations of state and federal securities laws.
Enron Regulatory Settlement
On July 28, 2003, Citigroup (Citigroup Global Markets' ultimate parent) entered into a final settlement agreement with the SEC to resolve the SEC's outstanding investigations into Citigroup transactions with Enron Corp. and Dynegy Inc. Pursuant to the settlement, Citigroup has, among other terms, (1) consented to the entry of an administrative cease and desist order, which bars Citigroup from committing or causing violations of provisions of the federal securities laws, and (2) agreed to pay $120 million ($101.25 million allocable to Enron and $18.75 million allocable to Dynegy). Citigroup entered into this settlement without admitting or denying any wrongdoing or liability, and the settlement does not establish wrongdoing or liability for purposes of any other proceeding. On July 28, 2003, Citibank, N.A. entered into an agreement with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") and Citigroup entered into an agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York ("FED") to resolve their inquiries into certain of Citigroup's transactions with Enron. Pursuant to the agreements, Citibank and Citigroup have agreed to submit plans to the OCC and FED, respectively, regarding the handling of complex structured finance transactions. Also on July 28, 2003, Citigroup entered into a settlement agreement with the Manhattan District Attorney's Office to resolve its investigation into certain of Citigroup' s transactions with Enron. Pursuant to that settlement, Citigroup has agreed to pay $25.5 million and to abide by its agreements with the SEC, OCC and FED.
Enron-Related Civil Actions
Citigroup Global Markets, Citigroup and various other Citigroup-related entities have been named as defendants in over 20 civil lawsuits pending in state and federal courts throughout the United States, alleging claims against Citigroup and Citigroup Global Markets based on their dealings with Enron. The majority of these cases have been brought by purchasers and sellers of Enron equity and debt securities and Enron-linked securities. Many of the plaintiffs in these actions are large, institutional investors that had substantial Enron and Enron-linked holdings. The lawsuits collectively allege as against Citigroup
and/or its affiliates and subsidiaries, among other things, federal securities fraud, state law claims of negligent misrepresentation, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting a breach of fiduciary duty and related claims. In most of these lawsuits, Citigroup is named as a co-defendant along with other investment banks alleged to have had dealings with Enron. The majority of cases pending in the federal courts have been, or are in the process of being, consolidated before a single judge in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas. In addition, in five adversary proceedings in the Enron Chapter 11 bankruptcy, Enron and, in one case, its co-debtor affiliates and subsidiaries, and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Enron Corp., et al., have named Citigroup and/or its affiliates or subsidiaries as defendants.
On June 13, 2005, Citigroup announced a settlement of the Enron class action litigation (Newby, et al v. Enron Corp., et al.) currently pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division. This settlement resolves all claims against Citigroup brought on behalf of the class of purchasers of publicly traded equity and debt securities issued by Enron and Enron-related entities between September 9, 1997 and December 2, 2001. The settlement, which involves a pre-tax payment of $2.0 billion to the settlement class, is fully covered by Citigroup's existing litigation reserves. It is subject to approval by the Board of Regents of the University of California (the lead plaintiff), the Citigroup Board and the District Court in Texas.
A Citigroup affiliate, along with other defendants, settled all claims against it in In Re: Newpower Holdings Securities Litigation, a class action brought on behalf of certain investors in NewPower securities. Citigroup reached this settlement agreement without admitting any wrongdoing. On September 13, 2004, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York preliminarily approved the settlement.
In April 2005, Citigroup, along with other financial institution defendants, reached an agreement-in-principle to settle four state-court actions brought by various investment funds, which were not previously consolidated or coordinated with other actions. The four cases are OCM Opportunities Fund III, L.P., et al. v. Citigroup Inc., et al.; Pacific Investment Management Co. LLC, et al. v. Citigroup Inc., et al.; AUSA Life Insurance v. Citigroup Inc., et al. and Principal Global Investors v. Citigroup Inc., et al. The amounts to be paid in settlement of these actions are covered by existing litigation reserves.
On August 26, 2005, a group of 15 plaintiffs filed an action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas (Avenue Capital Management II, L.P., et al. v. J.P. Morgan-Chase & Co., et al.). The complaint names as defendants Citigroup Inc., Citibank, N.A., Citigroup Global Markets, and several J.P. Morgan entities and alleges fraud, breach of fiduciary duty and breach of contract arising out of Enron bank debt incurred under two syndicated revolving credit facilities and a syndicated letter of credit facility.
Dynegy Inc.
On June 6, 2003, the complaint in a pre-existing alleged class action pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas (In Re: Dynegy Inc. Securities Litigation) brought by purchasers of publicly traded debt and equity securities of Dynegy Inc. was amended to add Citigroup, Citibank and Citigroup Global Markets as defendants. The plaintiffs allege violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, against the Citigroup defendants. The Citigroup defendants filed a motion to dismiss in March 2004, which motion was granted by the District Court in October 2004. The court denied lead plaintiff's request for leave to appeal.
The court had also previously denied lead plaintiff's motion for leave to amend. No appeal was yet timely while the remainder of the case remained pending. On April 15, 2005, as part of a global settlement involving all defendants, Citigroup entered into a memorandum of understanding to settle this case. The amount to be paid in settlement is covered by existing litigation reserves.
WorldCom-Related Litigation
Citigroup, Citigroup Global Markets and certain executive officers and current and former employees have been named as defendants - along with twenty-two other investment banks, certain current and former WorldCom officers and directors, and WorldCom's former auditors - in a
consolidated class action brought on behalf of individuals and entities who purchased or acquired publicly traded securities of WorldCom between April 29, 1999 and June 25, 2002 in In Re: Worldcom, Inc. Securities Litigation. The class action complaint asserts claims against Citigroup Global Markets under (i) Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with certain bond offerings in which it served as underwriter, and (ii) Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated under Section 10(b), alleging that it participated in the preparation and/or issuance of misleading WorldCom registration statements and disseminated misleading research reports concerning WorldCom stock. In 2003, the district court denied Citigroup Global Markets' motion to dismiss the consolidated class action complaint and granted the plaintiffs' motion for class certification.
Pursuant to an order entered May 28, 2003, the District Court consolidated approximately seventy-eight individual actions with the class action for pretrial proceedings. The claims asserted in these individual actions are substantially similar to the claims alleged in the class action and assert state and federal securities law claims based on Citigroup Global Markets' research reports concerning WorldCom and/or Citigroup Global Markets' role as an underwriter in WorldCom offerings. Plaintiffs in certain of these actions filed motions to remove their cases to state court. The District Court denied these motions and its rulings were upheld on appeal.
Numerous other actions asserting claims against Citigroup Global Markets in connection with its research reports about WorldCom and/or its role as an investment banker for WorldCom are pending in other federal and state courts around the country. These actions have been remanded to various state courts, are pending in other federal courts, or have been conditionally transferred to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York to be consolidated with the class action. In addition to the court suits, actions asserting claims against Citigroup and certain of its affiliates relating to its WorldCom research reports are pending in numerous arbitrations around the country. These actions assert claims that are substantially similar to the claims asserted in the class action.
On May 10, 2004, Citigroup announced that it had agreed to pay $2.58 billion to settle the WorldCom class action suits. The United States District Court for the Southern District of New York granted approval of the proposed settlement on November 10, 2004.
On September 17, 2004, Weinstein, et al. v. Ebbers, et al., an alleged class action against Citigroup Global Markets and others brought on behalf of holders of WorldCom securities asserting claims based on, among other things, Citigroup Global Markets' research reports concerning WorldCom, was dismissed with prejudice in its entirety by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The plaintiffs noticed an appeal of the dismissal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on October 15, 2004. The parties have reached an agreement in principle on the terms of a settlement of this action.
Citigroup and Citigroup Global Markets, along with a number of other defendants, have settled Retirement Systems of Alabama, et al. v. J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., et al., a WorldCom individual action that had been remanded to the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Alabama. The settlement became final on September 30, 2004.
On June 28, 2004, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York dismissed all claims under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and certain claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in In Re: Targets Securities Litigation, an alleged class action against Citigroup and Citigroup Global Markets and certain former employees, leaving only claims under the 1934 Act for purchases of Targeted Growth Enhanced Terms Securities With Respect to the Common Stock of MCI WorldCom, Inc. ("TARGETS") after July 30, 1999. On October 20, 2004, the parties signed a Memorandum of Understanding setting forth the terms of a settlement of all remaining claims in this action. The settlement was preliminarily approved by the Court on January 11, 2005.
A fairness hearing was held on November 5, 2004 in connection with the proposed class settlement between plaintiffs and the Citigroup-related defendants in In Re: Worldcom, Inc. Securities Litigation.
Citigroup, along with other financial institutions and other defendants, entered into settlements resolving certain claims against Citigroup-related defendants in a number of WorldCom-related actions. The settlement amounts are covered by existing litigation reserves.
Global Crossing
On or about January 28, 2003, the lead plaintiff in a consolidated alleged class action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (In Re: Global Crossing, Ltd. Securities Litigation) filed a consolidated complaint on behalf of purchasers of the securities of Global Crossing and Asia Global Crossing, which names as defendants, among others, Citigroup, Citigroup Global Markets, Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and certain executive officers and current and former employees. The alleged class action complaint asserts claims under the federal securities laws alleging that the defendants issued research reports without a reasonable basis in fact and failed to disclose conflicts of interest with Global Crossing in connection with published investment research. On March 22, 2004, the lead plaintiff amended its consolidated complaint to add claims on behalf of purchasers of the securities of Asia Global Crossing. The added claims assert causes of action under the federal securities laws and common law in connection with Citigroup Global Markets' research reports about Global Crossing and Asia Global Crossing and for Citigroup Global Markets' roles as an investment banker for Global Crossing and as an underwriter in the Global Crossing and Asia Global Crossing offerings. The Citigroup-related defendants moved to dismiss all of the claims against them on July 2, 2004. In March 2005, the plaintiffs and the Citigroup-related defendants reached a settlement of all claims against the Citigroup-related defendants, including both research and underwriting claims and claims concerning losses in both Global Crossing and Asia Global Crossing, for a total of $75 million. The Court granted preliminary approval of the settlement on March 8, 2005.
In addition, on or about January 27, 2004, the Global Crossing Estate Representative filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (i) an adversary proceeding asserting claims against, among others, Citigroup, Citigroup Global Markets and certain executive officers and current and former employees, under federal bankruptcy law and common law in connection with Citigroup Global Markets' research reports about Global Crossing and for its role as an underwriter in Global Crossing offerings, and (ii) an adversary proceeding against Citigroup and several other financial institutions seeking to rescind the payment of a $1 billion loan made to a subsidiary of Global Crossing. The Citigroup-related defendants moved to dismiss the former action on June 26, 2004, and the latter on May 28, 2004. The plaintiffs and the Citigroup-related defendants have since entered into a definitive settlement agreement in the In Re: Global Crossing, Ltd. Securities Litigation; the settlement was preliminarily approved by the Court on March 8, 2005. The amount to be paid in settlement is covered by existing litigation reserves.
In addition, actions asserting claims against Citigroup and certain of its affiliates relating to its Global Crossing research reports are pending in numerous arbitrations around the country. These arbitration proceedings assert claims that are substantially similar to the claims asserted in the alleged class action.
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 Citigroup Global Markets, 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 the common law. The complaint seeks 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, Citigroup Global Markets 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 asserted claims against Citigroup and Citibank, N.A. All of the complaints alleged violations of federal securities laws, and certain of the complaints also alleged violations of state securities laws and the common law. The
complaints sought 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 May and July of 2005, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York dismissed several claims on statute of limitations grounds in the class and individual actions being coordinated under In Re: Adelphia Communications Corporation Securities and Derivatives Litigation. With the exception of one individual action that was dismissed with prejudice, the court granted the class and individual plaintiffs leave to re-plead certain of those claims the court found to be time-barred. Additional motions to dismiss the class complaint and the remaining individual complaints on other grounds remain pending.
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, the Investment Company Act and the 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 MDL rules in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, and the litigations involving revenue sharing, incentive payment and other issues have been consolidated in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The plaintiffs in these litigations generally seek unspecified compensatory damages, rescissionary damages, injunctive relief, costs and fees. In the principal market timing cases that name Citigroup, a lead plaintiff has been appointed but that plaintiff has not yet filed an amended complaint. In the cases concerning revenue sharing, incentive payment and other issues, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated and amended complaint on December 15, 2004.
Several issues in the mutual fund industry have come under the scrutiny of federal and state regulators. Citigroup has received subpoenas and other requests for information from various government regulators regarding market timing, financing, fees, sales practices and other mutual fund issues in connection with various investigations. Citigroup is cooperating with all such reviews. Additionally, Citigroup Global Markets has entered into a settlement agreement with the SEC with respect to revenue sharing and sales of classes of funds.
On May 31, 2005, Citigroup announced that Smith Barney Fund Management LLC and Citigroup Global Markets completed a settlement with the SEC resolving an investigation by the SEC into matters relating to arrangements between certain Smith Barney mutual funds, an affiliated transfer agent and an unaffiliated sub-transfer agent. Under the terms of the settlement, Citigroup agreed to pay fines totaling $208.1 million. The settlement, in which Citigroup neither admitted nor denied any wrongdoing or liability, includes allegations of willful misconduct by Smith Barney Fund Management LLC and Citigroup Global Markets in failing to disclose aspects of the transfer agent arrangements to certain mutual fund investors.
Research Analyst Litigation
Since May 2002, Citigroup Global Markets and certain executive officers and current and former employees have been named as defendants in numerous alleged class action complaints, individual actions, and arbitration demands by purchasers of various securities alleging that they violated federal securities law, including Sections 10 and 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and certain state laws for allegedly issuing research reports without a reasonable basis in fact and for allegedly failing to disclose conflicts of interest with companies in connection with published investment research, including Global Crossing, Ltd., AT&T Corp., Level 3 Communications, Inc., Metromedia Fiber Network, Inc., XO Communications, Inc., Williams Communications Group Inc., and Focal Communications, Inc. The alleged class actions relating to research of these companies are pending before a single judge in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for coordinated
proceedings. The Court has consolidated these actions into separate proceedings corresponding to the companies named above. On December 2, 2004, the Court granted in part and denied in part the Citigroup-related defendants' motions to dismiss the claims against it in the AT&T, Level 3, XO and Williams actions. On January 6, 2005, the Court granted in part and denied in part Citigroup's motion to dismiss the claims against it in the Metromedia action.
On September 27, 2005, Citigroup entered into a memorandum of agreement settling all claims against the Citigroup-related defendants in In Re: Salomon Analyst AT&T Litigation, a class action alleging research analyst conflicts of interest. The settlement amount is covered by existing litigation reserves. The settlement is subject to judicial approval.
In addition to the alleged research class actions, several individual actions have been filed against Citigroup and Citigroup Global Markets relating to, among other things, research on Qwest Communications International, Inc. These actions allege violations of state and federal securities laws in connection with Citigroup Global Markets' publication of research about Qwest and its underwriting of Qwest securities.
Two alleged class actions against Citigroup Global Markets asserting common law claims in connection with published investment research on behalf of Citigroup Global Markets customers have been dismissed by United States District Courts, one of which was affirmed by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, and one of which is pending on appeal to the United States Courts of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Plaintiffs in the Ninth Circuit case have sought review by the United States Supreme Court; their request for an appeal to that Court is pending.
On September 22, 2005, Citigroup reached an agreement-in-principle to settle all claims against the Citigroup-related defendants in Norman v. Salomon Smith Barney, et al., a class action asserting violations of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and various common law claims in connection with certain investors who maintained guided portfolio management accounts at Smith Barney. The settlement amount is covered by existing litigation reserves. The settlement is subject to judicial approval.
On August 17, 2005, in Disher v. Citigroup Global Markets Inc., the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit reversed the district court's grant of plaintiffs' motion to remand the case to state court, and directed the district court to dismiss the case as preempted under the Securities Litigation Uniform Standards Act ("SLUSA"). The United States Supreme Court has granted review in another case involving SLUSA that may affect the Seventh Circuit's dismissal of the Disher matter.
In Sturm, et al. v. Citigroup, et al., an NASD arbitration seeking significant compensatory and punitive damages, claimants' asserted common law claims, including fraud, arising out of alleged research analyst conflicts of interest related to Citigroup Global Markets research coverage of WorldCom.
Supervisory Investigation
In May 2003, the SEC, NYSE and NASD issued a subpoena and letters to Citigroup Global Markets requesting documents and information with respect to their continuing investigation of individuals in connection with the supervision of the research and investment banking departments of Citigroup Global Markets. Other parties to the Research Settlement have received similar subpoenas and letters.
West Virginia Attorney General Suit
On June 23, 2003, the West Virginia Attorney General filed an action against Citigroup Global Markets and nine other firms that were parties to the Research Settlement. The West Virginia Attorney General alleges that the firms violated the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act in connection with their research activities and seeks monetary penalties.
Citigroup Shareholder Litigation
In July 2002, Citigroup, Citigroup Global Markets and certain officers were named as defendants in an alleged class action filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, brought on behalf of purchasers of Citigroup common stock between July 24, 1999 and July 23, 2002. The
complaint seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages for alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and for common law fraud. Fourteen virtually identical complaints have been filed and consolidated. The complaints allege that Citigroup misstated the extent of its Enron-related exposure, and that Citigroup's stock price fell once the true extent of Citigroup's Enron involvements became known. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on March 10, 2003, which incorporated the allegations in the 15 separate actions and added new material as well. The amended complaint focuses on certain transactions between Citigroup and Enron and alleged analyst conflicts of interest. The class period for the consolidated amended complaint is July 24, 1999 to December 11, 2002. On June 2, 2003, Citigroup filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint. Plaintiffs' response was filed on July 30, and Citigroup's reply was filed on October 3, 2003. On August 10, 2004, Judge Swain granted Citigroup's motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint. The plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal in October 2004.
NASD Settlement
In November 2004, Citigroup Global Markets entered into a final agreement with the NASD to resolve the NASD's investigation into certain of its selling practices. Without admitting or denying any allegations or findings, Citigroup Global Markets accepted certain factual findings by the NASD that it (i) sold units in two managed futures funds to 45 customers for whom the investment was not suitable, (ii) failed to maintain records disclosing the basis upon which its investor suitability determinations were made and (iii) failed to adequately disclose the risks of investing in managed futures products on its website. Citigroup Global Markets consented to a censure and a fine of $275,000 and offered to redeem the investment of the customers for whom investment in the two managed futures funds was found not suitable.
In the course of its business, Citigroup Global Markets, 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.

Item 7.
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Overview
The Partnership aims to achieve substantial capital appreciation through speculative trading, directly and indirectly, 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 (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, 2005, the Partnership's assets were allocated among the Advisors in the following approximate percentages: Campbell, 34%, Aspect, 35%, and Altis, 31%.
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 sales of goods or services. Its only assets are its equity in its commodity futures trading account, consisting of cash and its investments in other partnerships. 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 follows certain trading policies, including:
(i) The Partnership invests its assets in other partnerships that invest their assets 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 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 does 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 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 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 other partnerships, 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 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 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, 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, 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. For the year ended December 31, 2003, 3,024.9460 Redeemable Units were redeemed totaling $3,920,900.
(c) Results of Operations.
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. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit increased 17.2% from $1,180.95 to $1,384.25. 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 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.
Trading results for the year 2004 can be described in four distinct periods: the first two months of the year produced positive results of nearly 11% with trends carrying over from late 2003, the next six months which saw trend disruptions and produced losses of approximately 17%, the third period September through November witnessed a recovery period with net asset value per unit increasing by 5%, and finally the month of December which stands alone as basically break-even. The Partnership ended the year down 3.6%. The results for the year were heavily influenced by two historic trends: the decline and subsequent volatility in the value of the U.S. dollar versus major currencies and the run-up in the price of crude oil to over $50 a barrel.
The year started strongly with many of the trends from late 2003 continuing into early 2004. Notably lower interest rates in the U.S. and other major countries fostered strong global economic growth and pressured commodity prices. These forces resulted in upward trends in many sectors, especially energy, metals and grains and provided profitable trading opportunities for the Partnership's Advisors. These trends persisted until early March when economic indicators in the U.S. and China suggested rising inflation and markets reversed precipitously with higher interest rates, collapsing commodity prices and the dollar reversal.
This began a protracted period of tentative and conflicting trends across many sectors. As expected in the nature of trend-following, the strength of profitable trends is often followed by temporary but often severe periods of losses. Late March through August was such a period for nearly all of the Partnership's Advisors as they adjusted positions from what had been profitable, long-term trends to choppy, directionless and volatile markets. Trading was treacherous and thus unprofitable in U.S. and Asian interest rates and global stock indices while energy, metals and grains provided some offsetting profits. The fundamental economic concerns hanging over these markets were further exacerbated by the uncertainty surrounding the tightly contested U.S. presidential election.
With the year looking dismal going into the fall, the price of crude oil resumed its climb to $50 a barrel brought on by a deteriorating security situation in Iraq, Saudi Arabia political turmoil, and renewed threats of terrorism. Long positions in the energy sector contributed to profits and offset losses in other sectors. As the fourth quarter got underway, the slide in the value of the U.S. dollar accelerated toward $1.40 to the euro. These renewed trends in currency prices combined with declining interest rates, stronger global stock markets and rising energy prices were favorable to the Partnership's Advisors and provided a profitable October and November for the Partnership.
December in some respects was a microcosm of the entire year with volatility across many markets especially currencies and energy. The net effect was a small loss for the month and an overall decline in net asset value per unit for the Partnership for the year.
The Partnership experienced a net trading gain of $13,936,546 before commissions and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2003. Gains were primarily attributable to the trading of currencies, energy, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates, metals and indices, and were partially offset by losses incurred in the trading of grains 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.
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 members' 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 Master's positions. The majority of the Partnership's/Master'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/Master's assets will be valued by objective measures and without difficulty.
Item 7A.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Introduction
The Partnership is a speculative commodity pool. The market sensitive instruments held by it are acquired for speculative trading purposes, and all or substantially all of the Partnership's 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 Partnership's main line of business.
The risk to the limited partners that have purchased interests 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 Partnership's open positions and, consequently, in its earnings and cash flow. The Partnership's 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 Partnership's open positions and the liquidity of the markets in which it trades.
The Partnership rapidly acquires and liquidates 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 Partnership's past performance is not necessarily indicative of its future results.
Value at Risk is a measure of the maximum amount which the Partnership could reasonably be expected to lose in a given market sector. However, the inherent uncertainty of the Partnership's speculative trading and the recurrence in the markets traded by the Partnership of market movements far exceeding expectations could result in actual trading or non-trading losses far beyond the indicated Value at Risk or the Partnership's 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 Partnership's losses in any market sector will be limited to Value at Risk or by the Partnership's attempts to manage its market risk.
Quantifying the Partnership's Trading Value at Risk
The following quantitative disclosures regarding the Partnership's market risk exposures contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the safe harbor from civil liability provided for such statements by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). All quantitative
disclosures in this section are deemed to be forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor except for statements of historical fact (such as the terms of particular contracts and the number of market risk sensitive instruments held during or at the end of the reporting period).
The Partnership's risk exposure in the various market sectors traded by the Advisors 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 Partnership's open positions is directly reflected in the Partnership's earnings (realized and unrealized).
Exchange maintenance margin requirements have been used by the Partnership 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 Partnership), 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 Partnership's futures and forward positions does not have any optionality component. However, certain of the Advisors trade commodity options. The Value at Risk associated with options is reflected in the following table as the margin requirement attributable to the instrument underlying each option. 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's Value at Risk, 100% positive correlation in the different positions held in each market risk category has been assumed. Consequently, the margin requirements applicable to the open contracts have simply been added to determine each trading category's aggregate Value at Risk. The diversification effects resulting from the fact that the Partnership's 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 open positions by market category as of December 31, 2004 and the highest, lowest and average values at any point during the year. All open position trading risk exposures of the Partnership have been included in calculating the figures set forth below. As of December 31, 2004, the Partnership's total capitalization was $46,309,169.
December 31,
* 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 Partnership is 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 Partnership. The magnitude of the Partnership's open positions creates a "risk of ruin" not typically found in most other investment vehicles. Because of the size of its positions, certain market conditions - unusual, but historically recurring from time to time - could cause the 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 Partnership - give no indication of this "risk of ruin."
Non-Trading Risk
The Partnership has non-trading market risk on its 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 Partnership's market sensitive instruments.
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Primary Trading Risk Exposures
The following qualitative disclosures regarding the Partnership's 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 Securities 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. There can be no assurance that the Partnership's current market exposure and/or risk management strategies will not change materially or that any such strategies will be effective in either the short or long term. Investors must be prepared to lose all or substantially all of their investment in the Partnership.
The following were the primary trading risk exposures of the Partnership as of December 31, 2005 by market sector:
Interest Rates. Interest rate movements directly affect the price of the futures positions held by the Partnership 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 United States and the other G-8 countries.
Currencies. The Partnership's currency exposure is to exchange rate fluctuations, primarily fluctuations which disrupt the historical pricing relationships between different currencies and currency pairs. These fluctuations are influenced by interest rate changes as well as political and general economic conditions. The Partnership's 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 primary equity exposure is to equity price risk in the G-8 countries. The stock index futures traded by the Partnership are limited to futures on broadly based indices. As of December 31, 2005, the Partnership's primary exposures were in the LIFFE (England), Nikkei (Japan), EUREX (German) and S&P stock indices. The Partnership 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 to avoid being "whipsawed" into numerous small losses.)
Metals. The Partnership's primary metal market exposure is to fluctuations in the price of copper and aluminum.
Softs. The Partnership's primary commodities exposure is to agricultural price movements which are often directly affected by severe or unexpected weather conditions.
Energy. The Partnership's 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.
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Non-Trading Risk Exposure
The following were the only non-trading risk exposures of the Partnership as of December 31, 2005.
Foreign Currency Balances. The Partnership's 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 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 is 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 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.

Notes to Financial Statements
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 the sole owner of CGM. CGMHI is a wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. ("Citigroup").
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.
Salomon Smith Barney
Global Diversified Futures Fund L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements
d. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.
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, 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 consultants 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. The Partnership will pay for National Futures Association fees as well as exchange, clearing, user, give-up and floor brokerage fees. All 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. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the amount of cash held for margin requirements was $0 and $7,809,827, respectively. 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 trading activities 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 during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, based on a monthly calculation, was $916,485 and $1,962,289, respectively.
5. Investment in Partnerships:
On January 1, 2005, the assets allocated to 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 Units of the 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 commodity 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 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 Advisors as a result of the investment in Campbell Master are approximately the same and redemption rights are not affected.
On March 1, 2005, the assets allocated to 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 Units of the 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 the Advisor 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 Aspect Master are approximately the same and redemption rights are not affected.
On November 1, 2005, the assets allocated to 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 Units of the 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 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 the Advisor 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 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 united of limited partnership interest

Notes to Financial Statements
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.
All exchange, clearing, user, give-up, floor brokerage and National Futures Association fees are borne by the Master Funds. All other fees including CGM's direct brokerage commissions are charged at the Partnership level.
As of December 31, 2005 the Partnership owns 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 Master Funds. It is Campbell's, Aspect's and Altis's intention to continue to invest the assets allocated to each by the Partnership in Campbell Master, Aspect Master and Altis Master, respectively.
Summerized information reflecting the total assets, liabilities and capitals for the Master Funds are shown in the following table.
Summerized information reflecting the Partnership's investment in, and the operations of, the Master Funds are shown in the following table.
6. Distributions and Redemptions:
Distributions of profits, if any, will be made at the sole discretion of the General Partner and at such times as the General Partner may decide. Beginning with the first full month ending at least three months after the commencement of trading, a limited partner may require the Partnership to redeem their Redeemable Units at their Net Asset Value as of the last day of any month on 10 days notice to the General Partner provided that no redemption may result in the Limited Partner holding fewer than 3 units after redemption is effected. 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, 2005, 2004 and 2003 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, 2005. 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, 2005 and 2004 are summarized below:

Independent Auditor's Report
To the Partners of
CMF Campbell Master Fund L.P.:
We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of CMF Campbell Master Fund L.P. (the "Partnership"), including the condensed schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2005, and the related statements of income and expenses, changes in partners' capital, and cash flows for the year ended 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 audit.
We conducted our audit 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 audit provides 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 Campbell Master Fund L.P. as of December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations, changes in its partners' capital, and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

(the "Master") is a limited partnership which was organized under the partnership laws of the State of New York to engage in the speculative trading of a diversified portfolio of commodity interests including futures contracts, options and forward contracts. The commodity interests that are traded by the Master are volatile and involve a high degree of market risk. The Master is authorized to sell an unlimited number of Redeemable units ("Units") of Limited Partnership Interest.

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. All of the income and expenses and unrealized gains and losses on trading of commodity interests are determined on each valuation day and are allocated pro rata among the feeder funds at the time of such determination.

Notes to Financial Statements
c. Income taxes have not been provided as each Partner is individually liable for the taxes, if any, on their share of the Master's income and expenses.
d. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.
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 Master, has entered into a Management Agreement with the Advisor, a registered commodity trading advisor. The Advisor is not affiliated with the General Partner or CGM and is not responsible for the organization or operation of the Partnership. The Management Agreement provides that the Advisor has sole discretion in determining the investment of the assets of the Master. All management fees in connection with the Management Agreement are borne by the Feeder Funds.
c. Customer Agreement:
The Master has entered into a Customer Agreement with CGM whereby CGM provides services which include, among other things, the execution of transactions for the Master's account in accordance with orders placed by the Advisor. All exchange, clearing, user, give-up, floor brokerage and National Futures Association fees are borne by the Master. All other fees including CGM's direct brokerage commission shall be borne by the Feeder Funds. All of the Master's assets are deposited in the Master's account at CGM. The Master's cash is deposited by CGM in segregated bank accounts to the extent required by Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulations. At December 31, 2005, the amount of cash held by the Master for margin requirements was $42,476,193. The Customer Agreement between the Master and CGM gives the Master the legal right to net unrealized gains and losses. The Customer Agreement may be terminated upon notice by either party.
4. Trading Activities:
The Master 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 Master's trading activities are shown in the statement of income and expenses.
All of the commodity interests owned by the Master are held for trading purposes. The average fair value during the year ended December 31, 2005, based on a monthly calculation, was $11,094,108.
5. Distributions and Redemptions:
Distributions of profits, if any, will be made at the sole discretion of the General Partner and at such times as the General Partner may decide. A limited partner may require the Partnership to redeem their Redeemable Units at their Net Asset Value as of the last day of each month. The General Partner at its sole discretion, may permit redemptions more frequently than monthly, there is no fee charged in connection with redemptions.
CMF Campbell Master Fund L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements
6. Financial Highlights:
Changes in the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit of Partnership interest for the year ended December 31, 2005 was as follows:
* Includes clearing fees
** Excludes clearing fees
*** Interest income less total expenses
The above ratios may vary for individual investors based on the timing of capital transactions during the period. Additionally, these ratios are calculated for the Limited Partner class using Limited Partner's share of income, expense and average net assets.
7. Financial Instrument Risks:
In the normal course of its business, the Master 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 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
CMF Campbell Master Fund L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements
to 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, 2005. However, due to the nature of the Master's business, these instruments may not be held to maturity.

We conducted our audit 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).

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 audit provides 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 Aspect Master Fund L.P. as of December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations, changes in its partners' capital, and its cash flows for the period March 1, 2005 (commencement of trading operations) to December 31, 2005 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

6. Financial Highlights:
Changes in the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit of Partnership interest for the period from November 1, 2005 (commencement of trading operations) to December 31, 2005 were as follows:
* Includes clearing fees
** Excludes clearing fees
*** Interest income less total expenses (exclusive of incentive fees)
**** Annualized.
The above ratios may vary for individual investors based on the timing of capital transactions during the period. Additionally, these ratios are calculated for the Limited Partner class using Limited Partner's share of income, expense and average net assets.
7. Financial Instrument Risks:
In the normal course of its business, the Master 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 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

Notes to Financial Statements
to 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, 2005. However, due to the nature of the Master's business, these instruments may not be held to maturity.
