                QUARTERLY MARKET REVIEW BY THE TRADING ADVISOR

                          JOHN W. HENRY & COMPANY, INC.

ML JWH Strategic Allocation Fund Ltd. (the Fund) recorded strong gains in the
three month period ended June 30, 1999, largely reflecting positive
performance in the interest rate, metals, foreign exchange, and energy market
sectors.

Interest rate markets followed a consistent pattern throughout the quarter
toward lower prices as strong economic growth in the U.S. was coupled by
fears of Federal Reserve bias to higher interest rates. Long-term rates rose
above the 6% mark leading to the highest interest rates in over a year.
Though only taking a neutral policy stand at the end of the quarter, the Fed
raised rates 25 basis points on June 30. Europe, though having overall slower
growth also showed the same trend toward higher rates especially in the last
two months. This rise in longer-term yields came in spite of a rate cut by
the European Central Bank in early April in an effort to stem the slowing
growth in key economies.

Commodity markets had mixed performance. While many agricultural commodities
have continued to show a downtrend, the descent has been muted and volatility
has

picked up as markets headed into the key summer season. In spite of the
lackluster trend performance in many agricultural commodities, there was good
performance from both the gold market and energy complexes. The gold market
has been in steep decline after the Bank of England announced that it would
begin auctioning some of its gold reserves starting in July. The energy
markets also have shown favorable trends with oil prices continuing their
upward trend.

Currencies have provided positive performance for the Fund with the decline
in the euro that began with its introduction at the beginning of the year
still in place. The key European currency has fallen from $1.17 to below
$1.03 since the beginning of the year. The yen has been rangebound for the
more recent period caused by intervention by the Bank of Japan which has
tried to stop the yen from appreciating. Other key currencies have not shown
as significant trends as the euro and thus had a smaller contribution to
overall performance.

The Nikkei index continued to show upward trends during the quarter in
response to the latest economic numbers that suggest the Japanese economy is
firming after its long decline.
