<strong>Superfund</strong> <strong>Green</strong>, L.P. <strong>Series</strong> A <strong>03</strong>/<strong>2012</strong><br />
(formerly known as Quadriga <strong>Superfund</strong>, L.P.)<br />
SUPERFUND GREEN, L.P. SERIES A ENDED THE ONEMONTH PERIOD OF MARCH 2011 WITH A PERFORMANCE OF 7.77 %<br />
<strong>Superfund</strong> models produced disappointing returns in March as rapidly shifting macroeconomic factors led to trendless and choppy market conditions. The<br />
US economic engine sustained momentum, adding another 227,000 jobs for its best sixmonth streak since May of 2006. Retail sales climbed 1.1%, the<br />
most in five months, reflecting consumer confidence despite rising gas prices. The S&P 500 hit a fouryear high as hedge funds bought stocks at the<br />
fastest rate in two years. Casting a shadow over markets were signs China’s orchestrated soft landing has begun to take effect. Commoditydriven<br />
economies such as Australia are feeling the effects of reduced basemetal demand. Meanwhile, eurozone GDP unexpectedly contracted as the region<br />
struggles to contain its debt crisis. The US Federal Reserve optimistically revised its economic outlook before Chairman Bernanke revealed concerns over<br />
the longterm unemployed. Crude oil declined as the impact of Iranian tensions receded when compared to slowing global demand and ample supplies.<br />
Our shortterm strategies produced mixed to slightly negative results.<br />

Annualized performance is a metric of a twelvemonth mean that calculates the same rate of return for each twelvemonth period to reach the<br />
equivalent rate of return reflected in cumulative performance since inception data.<br />
Annual standard deviation is a measurement of an investment’s volatility. The higher the percentage, the more likely an investment experiences<br />
swings between gains and/or losses.<br />
The CASAM CISDM CTA equal weighted is a hedge fund index that reflects the average performance of Commodity Trading Advisors (CTAs). To<br />
be included in the equally weighted index, a CTA must have at least $500,000 under management and at least a 12month track record. This<br />
index is used to provide a better understanding of how <strong>Superfund</strong> <strong>Green</strong>, L.P. performs against an average of other funds in this asset class.<br />
CBOT is the Chicago Board of Trade. An exchange where grain, gold, and Treasury Bond futures and options are traded.<br />
Correlation describes the relationship between two variables. A positive correlation of 1 describes two variables that develop almost<br />
simultaneously. A correlation close to zero shows variables that have little to no influence on each other. A correlation of 1 shows an inverse<br />
relationship between two variables. As one variable increases, the other variable decreases.<br />
Nymex Gasoline, or New York Harbor RBOB Gasoline (Physical) futures, are an outright gasoline contract between a buyer and a seller. The<br />
contract is based on the largest single volume refined product sold in the United States, gasoline, which accounts for almost half of national oil<br />
consumption. The contract trades in a highly diverse market, with hundreds of wholesale distributors and thousands of retail outlets, resulting<br />
in intense competition and price volatility.<br />
Maximum drawdown is the greatest cumulative percentage decline in monthend net asset value due to losses sustained by the <strong>Series</strong> during<br />
any period in which the initial monthend net asset value is not equaled or exceeded by a subsequent monthend net asset value.<br />
Maximum initial risk refers to percentage of assets under management that will initially be invested in any one futures position or contract.<br />
The S&P 500 is one of the most commonly used benchmarks for the overall U.S. stock market. It is an index consisting of 500 stocks chosen for<br />
market size, liquidity and industry grouping, among other factors. The S&P 500 Index represents the price trend movements of the common<br />
stock of major U.S. public companies.<br />
The Sharpe Ratio is a formula used to measure riskadjusted performance. The Sharpe Ratio is calculated by subtracting the riskfree rate, the<br />
theoretical rate of return on an investment with zero risk, from the rate of return for a portfolio and dividing the result by the standard<br />
deviation of the portfolio.<br />
The Sortino Ratio measures the riskadjusted return of an investment portfolio or strategy. The formula is the portfolio's realized return minus<br />
the target rate of return divided by downside risk.<br />
