REPORTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. All CPOs Are Required to Complete and File the Form CPO-PQR
All CPOs are required to complete and file a Form CPO-PQR for each Reporting Period during which they satisfy the definition of CPO and operate at least one Pool. If a pool is operated by Co-CPOs, the CPO with the higher total AUM, aggregated across all pools operated by the CPO should report for that Pool. Further, if a pool is operated by Co-CPOs and one of them is an Investment Adviser, the non-Investment Adviser CPO must file relevant section(s) even though a Form PF was filed for that pool by the Investment Adviser CPO.
2. Only Certain Schedules of this Form CPO-PQR Are Required of Certain CPOs
Only certain Schedules of this Form CPO-PQR are required to be completed and filed by certain CPOs.
Schedule A
Schedule A must be completed and filed by each CPO for every Reporting Period during which they satisfy the definition of CPO and operate at least one Pool. Large CPOs must complete and file a Schedule A within 60 days of the close of the most recent Reporting Period during which they satisfied the definition of Large CPO. All other CPOs must complete and file a Schedule A within 90 days of the close of the calendar year. The information provided herein should be as of the last business day of the reporting period.
Part 1 of Schedule A surveys basic information about the reporting CPO. Part 2 of Schedule A asks for more specific information about each of the CPO’s Pools, including questions about the Pool’s key relationship and about the Pool’s investment positions.
Substituted Compliance for Schedules B and C
To the extent that a CPO is a dual registrant and is required to file Form PF with the SEC, then it may elect to file Form PF for all pools it, or any related person as defined for purposes of Form PF, may operate.
Schedule B
Schedule B must be completed and filed annually by Mid-Sized CPOs. Mid-Sized CPOs must complete and file a Schedule B within 90 days of the close of each calendar year during which they satisfied the definition of Mid-Sized CPO and operated at least one Pool. A CPO that qualifies as a Mid-Sized CPO at any point during the calendar year must complete and file a separate Schedule B for each Pool that it operated during the calendar year.
Schedule B must be completed and filed quarterly by Large CPOs. Large CPOs must complete and file a Schedule B within 60 days of the close of the most recent Reporting Period during which they satisfied the definition of Large CPO and operated at least one Pool. A CPO that qualifies as a Large CPO at any point during the Reporting Period must complete and file a separate Schedule B for each Pool that it operated during the Reporting Period.
Schedule B Substitution
Any Mid-Sized CPO or Large CPO that is: (i) registered with the SEC as an Investment Adviser; and (ii) operated only Pools that satisfy the definition of Private Fund during the calendar year or Reporting Period, respectively, will be deemed to have satisfied its Schedule B filing requirements by completing and filing Sections 1.b. and 1.c. of Form PF for each Pool that it operated during the calendar year or Reporting Period, respectively, in question.
2. Only Certain Schedules of this Form CPO-PQR Are Required of Certain CPOs (cont’d)
Further, to the extent that any Mid-Sized CPO or Large CPO is: (i) registered with the SEC as an Investment Adviser; and (ii) operated any Pools that do not satisfy the definition of Private Fund during the calendar year or Reporting Period, respectively, and does NOT elect to file Form PF under the substituted compliance provisions of Form PF, they will be required to complete and file a Schedule B for each Pool that it operated during the calendar year or Reporting Period, respectively, that did not satisfy the definition of a Private Fund. Schedule B will need to be completed in addition to the Mid-Sized CPO’s or Large CPO’s filing Form PF requirements.
Schedule B asks for information about each Pool’s creditors, counterparties, borrowings, and clearing mechanisms.
Schedule C
Schedule C must be completed and filed only by Large CPOs. Large CPOs must complete and file a Schedule C within 60 days of the close of the most recent Reporting Period during which they satisfy the definition of a Large CPO and operate at least one Pool. A CPO that qualifies as a Large CPO at any point during the Reporting Period must complete and file a separate Part 2 of Schedule C for each Large Pool that it operated during the Reporting Period.
Schedule C Substitution
Any Large CPO that is: (i) registered with the SEC as an Investment Adviser; and (ii) operated only Pools that satisfy the definition of Private Fund during the Reporting Period will be deemed to have satisfied its Schedule C filing requirements by completing and filing the applicable Sections 1 and 2 of Form PF for the Reporting Period in question.
Further, to the extent that any Large CPO is: (i) registered with the SEC as an Investment Adviser; and (ii) operated any Pools that do not satisfy the definition of Private Fund during the Reporting Period and does NOT elect to file Form PF under the substituted compliance provisions of Form PF, they will be required to complete Parts 1 and 2 of Schedule C with respect to the Pool(s) that it operated during the Reporting Period that did not satisfy the definition of a Private Fund. For these Large CPOs, Part 1 of Schedule C will need to be completed with respect to all Pools that they operated during the Reporting Period that did not satisfy the definition of Private Fund, and Part 2 of Schedule C will need to be completed with respect to all Large Pools that they operated during the Reporting Period that did not satisfy the definition of Private Fund. These Schedule C filings will need to be completed in addition to the Large CPO’s filing Form PF requirements.
Part 1 of Schedule C asks for information about the aggregated portfolios of the Pools that were not Private Funds that the Large CPO operated during the Reporting Period.
Part 2 of Schedule C asks for certain risk metrics about the Large Pools that were not Private Funds that the Large CPO operated during the Reporting Period.
3. The CPO May Be Required to Aggregate Information Concerning Certain Types of Pools
For purposes of determining whether a CPO meets the reporting thresholds for Schedules B and/or C of this Form CPO-PQR, the CPO must: (i) aggregate all Parallel Pool Structures, Parallel Managed Accounts and Master Feeder Arrangements; and (ii) treat any Pool or Parallel Managed Account operated by any of its Affiliated Entities as though it was operated by the CPO.
For purposes of determining whether a Pool qualifies as a Large Pool for Schedule C of this Form CPO-PQR, the CPO must: (i) aggregate all Pools that are part of the same Parallel Fund Structure or Master-Feeder Arrangement; (ii) aggregate any Parallel Managed Accounts with the largest Pool to which that Parallel Managed Account relates; and (iii) treat any Pool or Parallel Managed Account operated by any of your Affiliated Entities as though it was operated by the CPO.
However, for the parts of Form CPO-PQR that request information about individual Pools, you must report aggregate information for Parallel Managed Accounts and Master Feeder Arrangements as if each were an individual Pool, but not Parallel Pools. Assets held in Parallel Managed Accounts should be treated as assets of the Pools with which they are aggregated.
4. I advise a Pool that invests in other Pools or funds (e.g., a “fund of funds”). How should I treat these investments for purposes of Form CPO-PQR?
Investments in other Pools generally. For purposes of this Form CPO-PQR, you may disregard any Pool’s equity investments in other Pools. However, if you disregard these investments, you must do so consistently (e.g., do not include disregarded investments in the net asset value used for determining whether the fund is a “Qualifying Pool”). For Schedule A, Question 11, even if you disregard these assets, you may report the performance of the entire Pool and are not required to recalculate performance in order to exclude these investments. Do not disregard any liabilities, even if incurred in connection with these investments.
Pools that invest substantially all of their assets in other Pools or funds. If you are the CPO for a Pool that: (i) invests substantially all of its assets in the equity of Pools or Private Funds for which you are not the CPO; and (ii) aside from such Pool or Private Fund investments, holds only cash and cash equivalents and instruments acquired for the purpose of hedging currency exposure, then you are only required to complete Schedule A for that Pool. For all other purposes, you should disregard such Pools. For example, where questions request aggregate information regarding the Pools you advise, do not include the assets or liabilities of any such Pool.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you must include disregarded assets in responding to Schedule A, Question 0).
5. I am required to aggregate funds or accounts to determine whether I meet a reporting threshold, or I am electing to aggregate funds for reporting purposes. How do I “aggregate” funds or accounts for these purposes?
Where two or more Parallel Pool Structures or Master-Feeder Arrangements are aggregated in accordance with Instruction 3, you must treat the aggregated funds as if they were all one Pool. Investments that a Feeder Fund makes in a Master Fund should be disregarded, but other investments of the feeder fund should be treated as though they were investments of the aggregated fund.
Where you are aggregating dependent parallel managed accounts to determine whether you meet a reporting threshold, assets held in the accounts should be treated as assets of the Pools with which they are aggregated.
Example 1. |
You advise a master-feeder arrangement with one feeder fund. The feeder fund has invested $500 in the master fund and holds a foreign exchange derivative with a notional value of $100. The master fund has used the $500 received from the feeder fund to invest in corporate bonds. Neither fund has any other assets or liabilities. For purposes of determining whether the funds comprise a qualifying Pool, this master-feeder arrangement should be treated as a single Pool whose only investments are $500 in corporate bonds and a foreign exchange derivative with a notional value of $100. If you elect to aggregate the master-feeder arrangement for reporting purposes, the treatment would be the same. |
Example 2. |
You advise a parallel pool structure consisting of two pools, named parallel pool A and parallel pool B. You also advise a related dependent parallel managed account. The account and each fund have invested in corporate bonds of Company X and have no other assets or liabilities. The value of parallel pool A’s investment is $400, the value of parallel pool B’s investment is $300 and the value of the account’s investment is $200. For purposes of determining whether either of the parallel pools is a qualifying Pool, the entire parallel fund structure and the related dependent parallel managed account should be treated as a single Pool whose only asset is $900 of corporate bonds issued by Company X. If you elect to aggregate the parallel fund structure for reporting purposes, you would disregard the dependent parallel managed account, so the result would be a single Pool whose only asset is $700 of corporate bonds issued by Company X. |
6. I advise a Pool that invests in entities that are not Pools, or are exempt. How should I treat these investments for purposes of Form CPO-PQR?
Except as provided in Instruction 4, investments in funds should be included for all purposes under this Form CPO-PQR. You are not, however, required to “look through” a Pool’s investments in any other entity unless the Form CPO-PQR specifically requests information regarding that entity or the other entity’s primary purpose is to hold assets or incur leverage as part of the Pool’s investment activities.
7. The Form CPO-PQR Must Be Filed Electronically with NFA
All CPOs must file their Forms CPO-PQR electronically using NFA’s EasyFile System. NFA’s EasyFile System can be accessed through NFA’s website at www.nfa.futures.org. You will use the same logon and password for filing your Form CPO-PQR as you would for any other EasyFile filings. Questions regarding your NFA ID# or your use of NFA’s EasyFile system should be directed to the NFA. The NFA’s contact information is available on its website.
8. All Figures Reported in U.S. Dollars
All questions asking for amounts or investments must be reported in U.S. dollars. Any amounts converted to U.S. dollars must use the conversion rate in effect on the Reporting Date.
9. Use of U.S. GAAP
All financial information in this Report must be presented and computed in accordance with GAAP consistently applied; provided however, that a CPO that has filed a notice under Regulation 4.22(d)(2)(iii) to claim relief permitting the CPO to present and compute financial statements in its pool’s Annual Report according to alternative accounting principles, standards or practices may use such alternative accounting principles, standards or practices in presenting and computing financial information in this Report.
10. Oath and Affirmation
This Form CPO-PQR will not be accepted unless it is complete and contains an oath or affirmation that, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the individual making the oath or affirmation, the information contained in the document is accurate and complete; provided however, that is shall be unlawful for the individual to make such oath or affirmation if the individual knows or should know that any of the information in this Form CPO-PQR is not accurate and complete.

A CPO that qualifies as a Mid-Sized CPO at any point during the calendar year must complete and file a separate Schedule B for each Pool that it operated during the calendar year.
Schedule B must be completed and filed quarterly by Large CPOs. Large CPOs must complete and file a Schedule B within 60 days of the close of the most recent Reporting Period during which they satisfied the definition of Large CPO and operated at least one Pool. A CPO that qualifies as a Large CPO at any point during the Reporting Period must complete and file a separate Schedule B for each Pool that it operated during the Reporting Period.
Notwithstanding the above paragraph, certain Mid-Sized CPOs and Large CPOs that are also registered as Investment Advisers with the SEC may be deemed to have satisfied their Schedule B filing requirements by completing and filing Sections 1.b. and 1.c. of Form PF. Whether a Mid-Sized CPO or Large CPO has satisfied its Schedule B filing requirements will depend upon the type of Pools it operated during the calendar year or Reporting Period, respectively. Refer to the instructions of this Form CPO-PQR to determine whether you are required to complete this Schedule B and, if you are, how frequently you are required to file.
Unless otherwise specified in a particular question, all information provided in this Schedule B should be accurate as of the Reporting Date for all Large CPOs and accurate as of December 31 of each calendar year for all Mid-Sized CPOs.
REMINDER: A CPO that qualified as a Mid-Sized CPO at any point during the calendar year or Large CPO at any point during the Reporting Period must complete and file a separate Schedule B for each Pool that it operated during the calendar year or Reporting Period, respectively, if not filing Form PF with the SEC in lieu thereof.

a. Pool’s name:
b. Pool’s NFA ID#:
c. Does the Pool have a single primary investment strategy or multiple strategies?
Single Primary Strategy
Multiple Strategies
d. Indicate which of the investment strategies below best describe the reporting fund’s strategies. For each strategy that you have selected, provide a good faith estimate of the percentage of the reporting fund’s net asset value represented by that strategy. If, in your view, the reporting fund’s allocation among strategies is appropriately represented by the percentage of deployed capital, you may also provide that information. (Select the investment strategies that best describe the reporting fund’s strategies, even if the descriptions below do not precisely match your characterization of those strategies; select “other” only if a strategy that the reporting fund uses is significantly different from any of the strategies identified below. You may refer to the reporting fund’s use of these strategies as of the data reporting date or throughout the reporting period, but you must report using the same basis in future filings.) (The strategies listed below are mutually exclusive (i.e., do not report the same assets under multiple strategies).

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING SCHEDULE C
A CPO is only required to complete and file Schedule C of this Form CPO-PQR if at any point during the Reporting Period the CPO qualified as a Large CPO.
Schedule C must be completed and filed only by Large CPOs. Large CPOs must complete and file a Schedule C for every Reporting Period during which they satisfy the definition of a Large CPO and operate at least one Pool. A CPO that qualifies as a Large CPO at any point during the Reporting Period must complete and file a separate Part 2 of Schedule C for each Large Pool that it operated during the Reporting Period.
No Schedule C Filing Requirements
Any Large CPO that is: (i) registered with the SEC as an Investment Adviser; and (ii) operated only Pools that satisfy the definition of Private Fund during the Reporting Period will be deemed to have satisfied its Schedule C filing requirements by completing and filing Section 2 of Form PF for the Reporting Period in question.
Limited Schedule C Filing Requirements
However, any Large CPO that is: (i) registered with the SEC as an Investment Adviser; and (ii) operated any Pools that do not satisfy the definition of Private Fund during the Reporting Period may choose to file the relevant sections of Form PF with respect to those funds. For Large CPOs that do not choose to file Form PF for Pools that are not Private Funds, Part 1 of Schedule C will need to be completed with respect to all Pools that they operated during the Reporting Period that did not satisfy the definition of Private Fund, and Part 2 of Schedule C will need to be completed with respect to each Large Pools that they operated during the Reporting Period that did not satisfy the definition of Private Fund. These Schedule C filings will need to be completed in addition to the Large CPO’s Form PF filing requirements.
Refer to the instructions of this Form CPO-PQR to determine whether you are required to complete this Schedule C.
Part 1 of Schedule C asks the Large CPO to provide information on the aggregated investments of all Pools that are not Private Funds that were operated by the Large CPO during the most recent Reporting Period. Any Large CPO who has completed and filed Section 2 of Form PF for the Private Funds it operated during this Reporting Period, and who is choosing to file Part 1 of Schedule C for Pools that are not Private Funds, must answer Part 1 only with respect to the Pools that are not Private Funds.
Part 2 of Schedule C asks the Large CPO to provide certain risk metrics for each Large Pool that is not a Private Fund that was operated by the Large CPO during the most recent Reporting Period. A Large CPO must complete and file a separate Part 2 of Schedule C for each Large Pool that is not a Private Fund that the Large CPO operated during the most recent Reporting Period. Any Large CPO who has completed and filed Section 2 of the SEC’s Form PF for the Private Funds it operated during this Reporting Period, and who is choosing to file Part 2 of Schedule C for Pools that are not Private Funds, should be sure to complete and file a Part 2 only for its Large Pools that are not Private Funds.
Unless otherwise specified in a particular question, all information provided in this Schedule C should be accurate as of the Reporting Date.
1. GEOGRAPHICAL BREAKDOWN OF POOLS’ INVESTMENTS
Provide a geographical breakdown of the investments (by percentage of aggregated Assets Under Management) of all Pools that are not Private Funds that were operated by the Large CPO during the most recent Reporting Period. Except for foreign exchange derivatives, investments should be allocated by the jurisdiction of the organization of the issuer or counterparty. For foreign exchange derivatives, investments should be allocated by the country to whose currency the Pool has exposure through the derivative. The percentages entered below should total 100%.
(i) Africa |
|
|
(ii) Asia and Pacific (other than the Middle East) |
|
|
(iii) Europe (EEA) |
|

2. TURNOVER RATE OF AGGREGATE PORTFOLIO OF POOLS
Provide the turnover rate by volume for the aggregate portfolio of all Pools that are not Private Funds and that were operated by the Large CPO during the most recent Reporting Period. The turnover rate should be calculated as follows:
Divide the lesser of the amounts of the Pools’ purchases or sales of assets for the month by the average of the value of the Pools’ assets during the month. Calculate the “monthly average” by totaling the values of Pools’ assets as of the beginning and the end of the month and dividing that sum by two.
Do not net long and short positions. However, in relation to derivatives, packages such as call-spreads may be treated as a single position (rather than as a long position and a short position).
The value of any derivative should be its total gross notional value, except that the value of an option should be its delta adjusted notional value
“Purchases” include any cash paid upon the conversion of one asset into another and the costs of rights or warrants.
“Sales” include net proceeds of the sale of rights and warrants and net proceeds of assets that have been called or for which payment has been made through redemption or maturity.
Include proceeds from a short sale in the amount of sales of assets in the relevant subcategory during the month. Include the costs of covering a short sale in the amount of purchases in the relevant subcategory during the month.
Include premiums paid to purchase options and premiums received from the sale of options in the amount of purchases during the month.
