Smith Barney
Westport Futures Fund L.P.
September 1997
The net asset value of the Smith Barney Westport Futures Fund L.P. was $940.68
per unit at the end of September, down 2.6% from the close of August. Profits in
the financial futures markets partially offset losses incurred in the commodity
markets, resulting in slightly negative performance for the month.
John W. Henry & Company (JWH), the Fund's advisor, achieved strong gains in
global interest rates, largely reflecting positions in the British Long gilt,
Japanese Government bond and Australian 10-year bond. These gains offset losses
incurred from positions in the U.S. 30-year bond. Losses were also incurred in
international stock market indices. Trading in the currency markets was
unprofitable, mainly due to positions in the British pound and Swiss franc.
In the softs markets, losses were incurred from positions in coffee and sugar as
both prices declined due to the expectation of a new supply from Brazil. Smaller
losses were incurred from positions in the grains markets.
In the energy markets, the advisor experienced losses from positions in crude
oil as prices fell due to an increase in inventory from summer lows. In the base
and precious metals markets, positions in gold were unprofitable as prices rose
during the month.
As we enter the fourth quarter, the advisor remains positioned across a wide
variety of markets in anticipation of trends becoming more evident. In the
interim, volatility and reversals can be expected.
