Common use of General Trading Policies Clause in Contracts

General Trading Policies. The General Partner shall require any Trading Advisor retained by the Partnership to follow the trading policies set forth below. The following trading policies are applicable to the Partnership as a whole and do not apply to the trading of any individual Trading Advisor. • The Partnership will not employ the trading technique commonly known as “pyramiding,” in which the speculator uses unrealized profits on existing positions in a given Futures Interest due to favorable price movement as margin specifically to buy or sell additional positions in the same or a related Futures Interest. Taking into account the Partnership’s open trade equity on existing positions in determining generally whether to acquire additional Futures Interest positions on behalf of the Partnership will not be considered to constitute “pyramiding.” • The Partnership will not under any circumstances lend money to affiliated entities or otherwise. The Partnership will not utilize borrowings except if the Partnership purchases or takes delivery of commodities. If the Partnership borrows money from the General Partner or any Affiliate thereof, the lending entity in such case (the “Lender”) may not receive interest in excess of its interest costs, nor may the Lender receive interest in excess of the amounts which would be charged the Partnership (without reference to the General Partner’s financial abilities or guarantees) by unrelated banks on comparable loans for the same purpose, nor may the Lender or any Affiliate thereof receive any points or other financing charges or fees regardless of the amount. Use of lines of credit in connection with its forward trading does not, however, constitute borrowing for purposes of this trading limitation. • The Partnership will not permit “churning” of the Partnership’s assets. • The Partnership will not purchase, sell, or trade securities (except securities approved by the CFTC for investment of customer funds). • The Trading Advisors will trade only in those Futures Interests that have been approved by the General Partner. The Partnership normally will not establish new positions in a Futures Interest for any one contract month or option if such additional positions would result in a net long or short position for that Futures Interest requiring as margin or premium more than 15% of the Partnership’s Net Assets. In addition, the Partnership will, except under extraordinary circumstances, maintain positions in Futures Interests in at least two market segments (i.e., agricultural items, industrial items (including energies), metals, currencies, and financial instruments (including stock, financial, and economic indexes)) at any one time. • The Partnership will not acquire additional positions in any Futures Interest if such additional positions would result in the aggregate net long or short positions for all Futures Interests requiring as margin or premium for all outstanding positions more than 66 2/3% of the Partnership’s Net Assets. Under certain market conditions, such as an abrupt increase in margins required by a commodity exchange or its clearinghouse or an inability to liquidate open positions because of daily price fluctuation limits, or both, the Partnership may be required to commit as margin amounts in excess of the foregoing limit. In such event, the Trading Advisors will reduce their open positions to comply with the foregoing limit before initiating new positions. • The Trading Advisors will not generally take a position after the first notice day in any Futures Interest during the delivery month of that Futures Interest, except to match trades to close out a position on the interbank foreign currency or other forward markets or liquidate trades in a limit market.
