KENMAR GLOBAL TRUST
APRIL 2000 SUMMARY

May 10, 2000

Performance was down slightly for Kenmar Global Trust ("KGT") in April as the
newly restructured KGT portfolio navigated through turbulent markets. There
were no out-sized gains or losses during the month. KGT closed the period down
1.1% as unprofitable positions in currencies, global interest rates, global
stock indices. energies and gains offset gains in tropicals, metals and meats.
The Net Asset Value per Unit of KGT was $95.90 as of April 30, 2000.

Since its restructuring early this year, the KGT portfolio continues to manifest
relatively low volatility amid increasingly risky markets. While we hope for a
reduction in the general level of turbulence, particulary in the financial
markets, we believe there is some solace to be had in KGT's ability to contain
the potential damage that participation in volatile markets can bring about.
Today, the KGT portfolio encompasses an even broader range of trading
strategies, including a greater balance of short-term traders--a strategic shift
which reflects the paucity of long term trends amid the turbulence of 1999 and
early 2000.

MARKET OVERVIEW

April was an extremely volatile month for global equity markets, led by the
sharp gyrations of U.S. markets. The technology-laden Nasdaq composite index
lost and also gained more than 5% of its value seven times, including a 9.6%
drop on April 14. Contributing to the volatility was irrefutable evidence of
inflationary pressures in the U.S. including the largest single-month gain in
the Consumer Price Index since early 1995. Fears of rising U.S. inflation pushed
the prices of fixed-income securities lower. Overseas, the euro fought a losing
battle, at least for now, as the booming U.S. economy drove the dollar higher in
world markets. The euro closed at its lowest level yet against the dollar, even
as euro-zone economies showed evidence of improvement. Elsewhere, following the
release of an optimistic Japanese business survey, the Bank of Japan conducted a
massive intervention in foreign exchange markets, selling an estimated $10
billion of yen in an effort to keep the currency from rising too fast against
its major counterparts. The dollar gained over 5% against the yen.

FUND PERFORMANCE

Currencies proved the most challenging for KGT, particularly in euro and Swiss
franc positions, as both currencies succumbed to the strengthening U.S. dollar,
Gains in the Australian dollar and British pound were offset by unprofitable

APRIL 2000 SUMMARY


positions in the euro, Swiss franc, and Canadian dollar. Meanwhile, gains in
European stock indices were offset by declines in Pacific Rim and U.S. stock
indices. On the positive side, KGT realized profits in tropicals, particularly
in sugar as prices reached a three-month high on a bright supply and demand
outlook. Coffee positions also generated profits for KGT; the tropical commodity
staged a strong rally early in the month on news that 11 exporting countries had
agreed to withhold supply from the market starting June 1.

To the best of my knowledge and belief, the above information is accurate and
complete.
