## Overview

MAN AHL Diversified I L.P. is a U.S.-based commodity pool that allocates capital to the AHL Diversified Program, a systematic trend-following trading strategy run by AHL Partners LLP.

• Forward contracts and OTC derivatives trading
• Options on futures and related instruments

## Customers

The Partnership’s investors are limited partners who subscribe to monthly offered units and redeem at month-end, rather than end customers buying a product or service. These investors are typically seeking diversified, liquid exposure to a quantitative managed-futures strategy with low correlation to stocks and bonds. The Trading Company and its counterparties are operationally important, but the economic buyers are the fund investors providing capital.

- **Limited partners / fund investors** (primary) — They buy partnership units to gain exposure to the AHL Diversified Program and its capital-growth objective.
- **Institutional allocators** (primary) — They allocate to the strategy for diversification, liquidity, and systematic market exposure.
- **Sophisticated alternative investment investors** (secondary) — They seek a managed-futures style return profile and accept derivative and market risk.

- Limited partners seeking alternative return streams
- Investors wanting diversification from stocks and bonds
- Allocators using managed futures for risk control
- Institutional or sophisticated investors with derivatives tolerance
- Capital providers who subscribe and redeem monthly

## Geography

The Partnership is organized in the United States, but its trading program operates globally across currencies, bonds, energies, stock indices, interest rates, credit, metals, agricultural markets, and volatility. Geography matters mainly through market access and exchange exposure, including non-U.S. exchanges that introduce currency, settlement, and regulatory risk. Cash is held in U.S. bank accounts and Treasury Bills, while trading activity can span many countries and venues indirectly through global markets.

- U.S.-organized partnership with U.S. cash and Treasury Bill holdings
- Global trading across multiple asset classes and exchanges
- Non-U.S. markets add currency and settlement risk
- Market access is indirect or direct depending on instrument
- No country revenue disclosure is provided in the reports

## Strategy

The core strategy is a fully quantitative, trend-following program designed to capture price movements across approximately 250 markets. Management emphasizes diversification by sector, timeframe, and market correlation, while adjusting exposure in real time as volatility changes. The objective is capital growth over the medium term with returns intended to be independent of stock and bond market direction.

- **Maintain diversified market exposure** (short-term) — Diversification reduces dependence on any single market trend and supports risk management.
- **Preserve systematic, model-driven execution** (medium-term) — The strategy depends on statistical signals and disciplined execution rather than discretionary calls.
- **Manage liquidity and volatility exposure** (short-term) — Derivative positions can change quickly in value and require active margin and liquidity control.

- Run a fully quantitative trend-following trading system
- Diversify across about 250 markets and multiple sectors
- Adjust risk exposure in real time as volatility changes
- Seek medium-term capital growth with low equity/bond correlation
- Use liquidity and correlation analysis in portfolio construction

## Risks

This is a speculative trading partnership, so market risk is the core business risk rather than a side effect. Performance can swing sharply with trends, volatility, liquidity, counterparty quality, and exchange conditions, and investors can lose all or part of their capital. Operational dependence on models, data, brokers, and non-U.S. markets also creates execution and settlement risk.

- **Speculative market loss risk** [critical] — The Partnership trades leveraged derivatives and can lose all or part of invested capital.
- **Trend strategy underperformance** [high] — Returns depend on persistent price trends; choppy or mean-reverting markets can hurt results.
- **Counterparty and clearing risk** [high] — Uncleared swaps, forwards, brokers, and custodians may fail to perform or face distress.
- **Non-U.S. market and currency risk** [medium] — Foreign exchanges can involve exchange controls, settlement issues, and FX fluctuations.
- **Model and systems risk** [medium] — The strategy relies heavily on computer models, data, and execution systems.

- Speculative futures trading can produce large gains or losses
- Trend-following performance depends on market conditions
- Counterparty failure can affect uncleared swaps and forwards
- Non-U.S. exchanges add currency, settlement, and regulatory risk
- Model, data, and system failures can impair execution

## Accounting

Reported results are driven by fair value changes in open trading positions, so earnings can move materially from period to period. The Partnership also has judgment around valuation of derivatives, margin balances, and cash equivalents, while monthly subscriptions and redemptions affect capital accounts rather than operating revenue. Because it is a trading vehicle, traditional operating metrics such as revenue and capex are not meaningful in the usual sense.

- **Fair value measurement of trading positions** — Can create large period-to-period volatility in net income and equity
- **Derivative and OTC valuation** — Affects reported gains/losses and balance sheet carrying values
- **Capital account accounting for subscriptions and redemptions** — Impacts ending equity and per-unit economics
- **Quarterly performance comparability** — Makes interim results difficult to extrapolate

- Fair value changes in derivatives drive reported earnings
- Monthly subscriptions and redemptions affect capital, not sales
- Cash, Treasury Bills, and margin balances require valuation judgment
- Quarterly results are not indicative of full-year performance
- No borrowing and no capex simplify the balance sheet
