                               ------------------
 
    Salomon Smith Barney Global Diversified Futures Fund L.P. (the
"Partnership") is a limited partnership organized on June 15, 1998, under the
laws of the State of New York to engage in the speculative trading of a
diversified portfolio of commodity interests including futures contracts,
options and forward contracts. The Partnership is soliciting subscriptions for
100,000 units of limited partnership interest (the "Units"). The minimum number
of Units required to be sold in order for the Partnership to begin trading is
15,000 ($15,000,000). No underwriting commissions are charged; hence, the entire
amount of the subscription price will be available for the Partnership's
trading.
 
    Salomon Smith Barney Inc. ("SSB") will act as the commodity broker/dealer
for the Partnership and its affiliate, Smith Barney Futures Management Inc., is
the General Partner of the Partnership (the "General Partner"). See "The General
Partner" and "The Commodity Broker/Dealer". All trading decisions will initially
be made for the Partnership by Campbell & Company, Inc. ("Campbell"), Eagle
Trading Systems Inc. ("Eagle"), Eckhardt Trading Company ("Eckhardt"), and Rabar
Market Research, Inc. ("Rabar"). Campbell, Eagle, Eckhardt and Rabar may be
collectively referred to as the "Advisors." None of the Advisors is affiliated
with the General Partner or SSB. See "The Advisors" and "Conflicts of Interest".

       UNIT. SUBSTANTIAL INCENTIVE FEES MAY BE PAID TO ONE OR MORE OF THE
       ADVISORS EVEN THOUGH THE PARTNERSHIP MAY INCUR A NET LOSS FOR THE FULL
       YEAR.)
 
    -- CONFLICTS OF INTEREST EXIST IN THE MANAGEMENT OF THE PARTNERSHIP
       (INCLUDING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE GENERAL PARTNER AND THE COMMODITY
       BROKER/DEALER; THE BROKERAGE RATE CHARGED BY THE COMMODITY BROKER/DEALER;

       AFFILIATES; CONTROL OF OTHER ACCOUNTS BY THE ADVISORS; OTHER ACTIVITIES
       AND POOLS OPERATED BY SSB; AND INCENTIVE FEES CHARGED BY THE ADVISORS).
       THESE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE NET PERFORMANCE OF
       THE PARTNERSHIP.
 
    -- NO PUBLIC MARKET FOR UNITS EXISTS.
 
    -- LIMITED PARTNERS HAVE LIMITED VOTING RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO THE
       PARTNERSHIP'S AFFAIRS.

    THESE SECURITIES ARE SPECULATIVE AND INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. THE
SECURITIES ARE SUITABLE FOR INVESTMENT ONLY BY A PERSON WHO CAN AFFORD TO LOSE
HIS ENTIRE INVESTMENT. SEE "RISK FACTORS" AT PAGES 12-18.

    The date of this Prospectus and Disclosure Document is November 25, 1998
<PAGE>   2
 
     The Partnership is soliciting subscriptions for 100,000 units of limited
partnership interest ("Units") with a minimum subscription per investor of
$5,000 (except that the minimum investment is $2,000 for employee benefit plans,
subject to higher minimums in certain states). Units will be offered at $1,000
per Unit for a period of 90 days from the date hereof unless earlier terminated
by the General Partner or extended for up to an additional 60 days, in the
General Partner's sole discretion and for any reason (the "Initial Offering
Period"). If a minimum of 15,000 Units ($15,000,000) is sold during the Initial
Offering Period, the Partnership will begin trading operations. After the
Initial Offering Period, the Partnership will continue to offer Units until the
earlier of two years from the date hereof and the date on which all of the Units
are sold (the "Continuous Offering"). The initial Net Asset Value per Unit will
be $1,000. Net Asset Value per Unit may increase or decrease after the Initial
Offering Period. During the Continuous Offering, Units and fractional Units
(rounded to four decimal places) will be sold at their Net Asset Value per Unit
as of the last business day of the quarter ending at least 5 days after a
subscription is accepted. Because Net Asset Value fluctuates daily, during the
Continuous Offering subscribers will not know the purchase price of their Units
at the time their subscription is made. Similarly, Limited Partners will not
know the redemption value of their Units at the time their notice of redemption
is submitted. Final month-end Net Asset Value per Unit is determined
approximately 10 business days after the month-end. Net Asset Value, or Net
Assets, is defined as the total assets of the Partnership including all cash,
plus Treasury securities at accrued interest and the market value of all open
commodity positions maintained by the Partnership less brokerage charges accrued
and less all other liabilities of the Partnership, determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles under the accrual basis of accounting.
A subscription may be revoked by a subscriber if the General Partner determines
not to offer Units as of the end of a quarter. See "Plan of Distribution" and
"Subscription Procedure". The Units are being offered through SSB on a best
efforts basis without any firm underwriting commitment (so that neither SSB nor
any other underwriter has agreed to purchase any Units). The Partnership will
dissolve no later than December 31, 2018. See "Summary of the Prospectus -- The
Partnership -- Dissolution of the Partnership".
- ---------------
 
NOTES:
 
     (1) The Units are being offered on a best efforts basis through SSB and
such other members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or
foreign brokers as may participate in the offering. No underwriting commissions
will be paid in connection with this offering. SSB may pay underwriting
commissions of up to $50 per Unit sold out of its own funds. SSB will pay a
portion of the brokerage fees it receives to its registered representatives
("Financial Consultants") who sell Units in the offering and who are registered
with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") as associated persons of
a futures commission merchant for continuing services to be provided by such
persons to purchasers of Units. Those services will include (i) answering
questions regarding daily net asset value and computations thereof, monthly
statements, annual reports and tax information provided by the Partnership, (ii)
providing assistance to investors including when and whether to redeem the Units
or purchase additional Units and (iii) general servicing of accounts. A
Financial Consultant may be credited with up to approximately 83.33% of the
amount of brokerage fees attributable to Units sold by him. The brokerage fees
will be paid for the life of the Partnership, although the rate at which such
fees are charged may change. See "Plan of Distribution" and "The Commodity
Broker/Dealer -- Brokerage Fees". No portion of SSB's brokerage fees will be
paid to any Financial Consultant who is not registered with the CFTC as an
associated person of a futures commission merchant.
 
     (2) These figures represent the sale of 15,000 or 100,000 Units at $1,000
per Unit during the Initial Offering Period. Subscription amounts will be held
in escrow at European American Bank, New York, New York, until the termination
of the Initial Offering Period or until earlier rejection of the subscription by
the General Partner. The funds held in escrow will be invested as the General
Partner shall from time to time direct by written instrument delivered to the
escrow agent in an interest bearing bank money market account. Interest earned
on such subscriptions held in escrow will be paid to the subscriber. See "Plan
of Distribution".
 
     (3) The initial offering and organizational expenses of the Partnership are
estimated at $700,000, which amount will be initially paid by SSB. Assuming a
successful completion of the Initial Offering Period, this amount will be
reimbursed by the Partnership in 24 equal installments over 24 months, plus
interest at the
 
                                       ii
<PAGE>   3
 
prime rate quoted by Chase Manhattan Bank. These expenses will be charged in
full to Partners' Capital upon the commencement of operations; however, the
accrued liability for reimbursement of offering and organization expenses will
not reduce Net Asset Value per Unit for any purpose (other than financial
reporting), including calculation of advisory and brokerage fees and the
redemption value of Units. The Limited Partnership Agreement requires the
Partnership to bear all of its offering expenses of the Continuous Offering. See
"Fees and Expenses to the Partnership" and "Redemptions".
 
     (4) The minimum additional subscription during the Continuous Offering for
investors who are already limited partners will be $1,000 (except in Maine,
where the minimum additional subscription will be $5,000). In the case of sales
to employee-benefit plans including qualified corporate pension and
profit-sharing plans, "simplified employee pension plans," so-called, "Keogh"
(H.R. 10) plans and Individual Retirement Accounts, and subject to higher
minimum investment standards imposed by certain states as listed in Exhibit C
hereto, the minimum purchase is $2,000. See "ERISA Considerations."
                            ------------------------
 
     An annual report containing financial statements and the report of the
Partnership's independent accountants will be distributed to limited partners
not more than 90 days after the close of the Partnership's fiscal year.
                            ------------------------

                        quarterly in its sole discretion on the advice of
                        counsel that applicable regulations would permit more
                        frequent sales.
 
Minimum Subscription....The minimum subscription is $5,000, except for
                        subscriptions by employee-benefit plans (and subject to
                        higher minimums imposed by certain states) which may be
                        made for a minimum of $2,000. The minimum investment for
                        subscribers who are already limited partners will be
                        $1,000 (except in Maine, where the minimum additional
                        subscription will be $5,000). The minimum proceeds
                        necessary to begin trading are $15,000,000 or 15,000
                        Units. During the Continuous Offering, the minimum
                        subscription will purchase Units and fractional Units
                        (rounded to four decimal places) as of the end of the
                        last day of the quarter ending at least 5 days after a
                        subscription is accepted. See "Plan of Distribution".
                        The General Partner and its affiliates are free to
                        purchase Units for investment purposes, including in
                        order to reach the minimum number of Units to commence
                        trading, provided that in no event will total
                        contributions by these entities equal or exceed 10% of
                        the total contributions to the Partnership at any time.
 
Plan of Distribution....The Units will be offered through SSB and possibly other
                        selling agents on a best efforts basis (so that neither
                        SSB nor any other underwriter has agreed to purchase any
                        Units). Units will be offered for a period of 90 days
                        from the date hereof, subject to earlier termination by
                        the General Partner or to extension by the General
                        Partner for up to an additional 60 days (the "Initial
                        Offering Period"). Assuming the sale of a minimum of
                        15,000 Units during the Initial Offering Period, Units
                        will continue to be offered thereafter until the earlier
                        of the sale of all 100,000 Units or two years after the
                        date of this Prospectus (the "Continuous Offering"). The
                        General Partner may determine to increase the number of
                        Units offered, or not to offer Units in a particular
                        quarter. All subscriptions accepted by the General
                        Partner will be promptly transmitted to the escrow
                        agent. All subscriptions will be held in escrow at
                        European American Bank until the first to occur of the
                        end of the Initial Offering Period or the first business
                        day of the quarter in which the subscription is to take
                        effect, at which time the subscription funds will be
                        transferred to the Partnership's trading accounts.
                        Interest earned on subscriptions held in escrow will be
                        paid to the subscriber. In the event that subscriptions
                        for 15,000 Units are not received during the Initial
                        Offering Period, all subscriptions will be returned to
                        investors with a proportionate share of the interest
                        earned on escrowed funds. The General Partner may reject
                        any subscription for any reason. A subscription may be
                        revoked within five business days of the investor's
                        subscription or if the General Partner determines not to
                        offer Units as of the end of a quarter during the
                        Continuous Offering. See "Plan of Distribution" and
                        "Subscription Procedure".

Use of Proceeds.........The proceeds of the offering will be deposited in the
                        Partnership's trading accounts at SSB and will be used
                        to trade in commodity interests including futures
                        contracts, options and forward contracts. Such proceeds
                        will be maintained in cash. A subscription will be
                        either accepted or rejected within four business days
                        from the receipt of the subscription by the General
                        Partner. See "Use of Proceeds".
 
Purchase of Units
  by Retirement Plans...Participants in employee-benefit plans may be capable of
                        purchasing Units with a portion of their retirement
                        assets. See "ERISA Considerations".
 
                                THE PARTNERSHIP
 
The Partnership.........Salomon Smith Barney Global Diversified Futures Fund
                        L.P. is a limited partnership organized on June 15, 1998
                        under the laws of the State of New York. See "The
                        Limited Partnership Agreement".
 
Risk Factors............An investment in the Partnership is speculative and
                        involves substantial risks. The risks of an investment
                        in the Partnership include, but are not limited to:
 
                        -- the speculative, volatile and highly leveraged nature
                           of trading in commodity futures, forward and option
                           contracts;
 
                        -- the fees and expenses which the Partnership incurs
                           regardless of the Partnership's trading performance,
                           including a brokerage charge initially capped at 5.4%
                           of Net Assets per year and a management fee of 2%.
                           Substantial incentive fees may be paid to one or more
                           Advisor even though the Partnership incurs a net loss
                           for the full year;
 
                        -- that the Partnership is subject to certain conflicts
                           of interest (including those arising from the
                           relationship between the General Partner and the
                           commodity broker/dealer);
 
                        -- no public market for Units exists;
 
                        -- investors have limited voting rights with respect to
                           the Partnership's affairs;
 
                        -- profits earned in any year will result in an increase
                           in a limited partner's tax liability.
 
Dissolution of the
  Partnership...........The Partnership will dissolve and its affairs will be
                        wound up as soon as practicable upon the first to occur
                        of the following: (i) December 31, 2018; (ii) the vote
                        to dissolve the Partnership by limited partners owning
                        more than 50% of the Units; (iii) assignment by the
                        General Partner of all of its interest in the
                        Partnership or withdrawal, removal, bankruptcy or any
                        other event that causes the General Partner to cease to
                        be a general partner under the New York Revised Limited
                        Partnership Act unless the Partnership is continued as
                        described in the Limited Partnership Agreement; (iv) Net
                        Asset Value per Unit falls to less than $400 as of the
                        end of any trading day; or (v) the occurrence of any
                        event which shall make it unlawful for the existence of
                        the Partnership to be continued. See "Risk
                        Factors -- Risks of Partnership Structure -- Dissolution
                        of the Partnership; Cessation of Trading" and "The
                        Limited Partnership Agreement -- Management of
                        Partnership Affairs".
 
Offices.................The offices of the Partnership and the General Partner
                        are located at c/o Smith Barney Futures Management Inc.,
                        390 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10013, (212)
                        723-5424.
 
Trading Policies........The Partnership's objective is to achieve capital
                        appreciation by engaging in speculative trading of a
                        diversified portfolio of commodity interests which may
 
                                        2
<PAGE>   9
 
                        include futures contracts, options, forward contracts
                        and physicals. There can be no assurance that the
                        Partnership's investment objective will be met. The
                        Partnership's trading policies, in summary, are to
                        invest Partnership funds only in commodity contracts
                        traded in sufficient volume to permit the ease of taking
                        and liquidating positions; that no additional positions
                        in a commodity will be initiated by an Advisor if such
                        positions would result in aggregate positions for all
                        commodities requiring as margin more than 66 2/3% of the
                        Partnership's assets allocated to that Advisor; that the
                        Partnership will not employ the trading technique
                        commonly known as "pyramiding"; that the Partnership
                        will not utilize borrowings except short-term borrowings
                        if the Partnership takes delivery of any cash
                        commodities; that the Partnership may, from time to
                        time, engage in spreads or straddles; and that the
                        Partnership will not permit the churning of its trading
                        accounts. The Partnership estimates that its margin-to-
                        equity ratio will generally be in the range of 10% to
                        40%. This discussion is a summary only and is qualified
                        in its entirety by reference to the discussion under
                        "Trading Policies". See "Commodity Markets" and "Trading
                        Policies". The terms "pyramiding" and "spread or
                        straddle" are defined in the Glossary.
 
Management..............The General Partner of the Partnership is Smith Barney
                        Futures Management Inc., a corporation organized under
                        the laws of the State of Delaware and an affiliate of
                        Salomon Smith Barney Inc. ("SSB"). The General Partner
                        administers the business and affairs of the Partnership.
                        SSB will act as commodity broker/dealer for the
                        Partnership. The Advisors will make trading decisions
                        for the Partnership. The General Partner has made the
                        initial allocations to the Advisors described below and,
                        consistent with its fiduciary duties to the limited
                        partners, may modify these allocations at any time in
                        its sole discretion. Future allocations to the Advisors
                        or additional advisors will be made at the discretion of
                        the General Partner. In allocating assets to the
                        Advisors, the General Partner has considered each
                        Advisor's past performance, trading style, volatility of
                        markets traded and fee requirements. All of the
                        Partnership's assets in its trading accounts at SSB will
                        be available for trading, subject to the trading
                        policies of the Partnership.
 
                        -- Campbell's initial allocation will be approximately
                           35% of the Partnership's assets. Campbell, which
                           offers several programs, will initially use its
                           Financial, Metal and Energy Small Portfolio ("FME
                           Small") in trading the assets of the Partnership.
                           When the allocation to Campbell exceeds $10 million,
                           Campbell will trade the "Large" version of this
                           program ("FME Large") which is the same as FME Small
                           but adds certain contracts that trade in the forward
                           foreign currency markets which do not have futures
                           equivalents. The FME portfolios concentrate
                           approximately 82% of their trading in financial
                           markets, including contracts on US and non-US
                           interest rates, foreign currency contracts and
                           forwards, and stock index contracts, and the balance
                           of approximately 18% in energy and metals contracts.
                           The mix of contracts between the Large and Small
                           portfolios is essentially equivalent except as noted
                           above. The contracts and allocation among sectors are
                           subject to change. The Financial, Metal & Energy
                           Portfolios employ a technical trend-following trading
                           method. Campbell was incorporated in 1974 as a
                           successor to a partnership originally formed in 1974.
                           Including notional funds, as of August 31, 1998,
                           Campbell managed approximately $97.3 million in FME
                           Small, $1.0 billion in FME Large and $1.2 billion in
                           total assets.

                        -- Eagle's initial allocation will be approximately 20%
                           of the Partnership's assets. Eagle will initially
                           trade two programs on behalf of the Partnership. The
                           Eagle-Global System will initially be allocated
                           two-thirds of the assets allocated to Eagle and the
                           Eagle-FX System will initially be allocated one-
                           third of the assets. The Systems are distinguished by
                           the markets traded: The Eagle-Global System trades in
                           30 different markets, including interest rate
                           futures, foreign currency contracts, and stock index
                           futures contracts, as well as traditional commodity
                           contracts in the energy, agricultural and metals
                           markets. The Eagle-FX System may trade up to 17
                           different currencies in the interbank markets
                           including all major currencies and several minor
                           currencies. The combined systems traded for the
                           Partnership concentrate approximately 78% of their
                           trading in the financial futures and forward markets
                           and 22% in the traditional commodities markets. Each
                           of these systems may change the contracts and sectors
                           traded in the future. Eagle trading systems
                           incorporate a computerized, technical trend-following
                           approach, which is based upon the systemization of
                           strict trading rules, money management principles,
                           predetermined risk parameters and volatility
                           adjustment features. Eagle was formed as a
                           corporation in 1993. Including notional funds, as of
                           August 31, 1998, Eagle managed approximately $257.6
                           million in the Eagle-Global System, $91.1 million in
                           the Eagle-FX System and $557.9 million in total
                           assets.
 
                        -- Eckhardt's initial allocation will be approximately
                           10% of the Partnership's assets. Eckhardt will
                           initially trade its Global Financial Program on
                           behalf of the Partnership. The Global Financial
                           Program, which began trading as a separate program in
                           November 1997, trades a financial subset of the
                           markets currently traded for Eckhardt's Standard
                           Program. The markets traded for the Global Financial
                           Program include, but are not limited to, major
                           foreign currencies and the US Dollar Index, contracts
                           on US, Canadian, European and Pacific Rim interest
                           rates, and the S&P 500 Index and NIKKEI Index.
                           Eckhardt may change the contracts traded and the
                           concentration among sectors in the future. Eckhardt
                           trading is technical in origin and trend-following in
                           its approach, however, discretion and judgment may
                           occasionally be used. Eckhardt was formed in 1992.
                           Including notional funds, as of August 31, 1998,
                           Eckhardt managed approximately $34.8 million in the
                           Global Financial Program and approximately $377.4
                           million in total assets.
 
                        -- Rabar's initial allocation will be approximately 35%
                           of the Partnership's assets. Rabar will use its sole
                           trading program in managing the Partnership's assets.
                           The Rabar program trades a diversified portfolio of
                           up to 70 different contracts. Trading concentrated in
                           the financial markets, including US and international
                           interest rate contracts, foreign currencies and stock
                           indices, comprises approximately 68% of Rabar's
                           current portfolio, and trading in traditional
                           commodities, including contracts in energy products
                           and agricultural products, and precious and base
                           metals, comprises approximately 32% of Rabar's
                           current portfolio. Contracts and allocations among
                           markets are subject to change. Rabar trades this
                           portfolio according to a technical trend-following
                           method that emphasizes diversification and risk
                           management. Rabar was incorporated in 1986. Including
                           notional funds, as of August 31, 1998, Rabar managed
                           approximately $205 million in assets.

                        The estimated distribution above is based upon contracts
                        traded in the Advisors' programs as of August 31, 1998.
                        No assurance can be given that the Partnership's
                        portfolio will be traded pursuant to this exact
                        distribution.
 
                        The Advisors may override computer-generated trading
                        signals or may adjust their trading programs in the
                        future. The Advisors are not affiliated with one another
                        and none are affiliated with the General Partner or SSB.
                        Each Advisor makes its trading decisions independently.
                        The Advisors are not responsible for the organization or
                        operation of the Partnership. See "Conflicts of
                        Interest", "Fiduciary Responsibility" and "The Commodity
                        Broker/Dealer".
 
                        The limited partners do not participate in the
                        management or control of the Partnership. Under the
                        Limited Partnership Agreement, responsibility for
                        managing the Partnership is vested solely in the General
                        Partner. The General Partner is a fiduciary to the
                        limited partners. As such, the General Partner must
                        exercise good faith and fairness in all dealings
                        affecting the Partnership. In the event that a limited
                        partner believes the General Partner has violated its
                        fiduciary responsibility to the limited partners, he may
                        seek legal relief for himself or on behalf of the
                        Partnership, if the General Partner has refused to bring
                        the action, or if an effort to cause the General Partner
                        to bring the action is not likely to succeed, or may
                        have a right to bring a class action on behalf of all of
                        the limited partners, under applicable laws, including
                        partnership, commodities or securities laws, to recover
                        damages from or require an accounting by the General
                        Partner. Limited partners may also be afforded certain
                        rights for reparations under the Commodity Exchange Act
                        ("CEA") for violations of the CEA by the General
                        Partner. The General Partner may be removed and
                        successor general partners may be admitted upon the vote
                        of a majority of the outstanding Units. See "The Limited
                        Partnership Agreement" and "Fiduciary Responsibility".
                        Any limited partner, upon written request addressed to
                        the General Partner, may obtain from the General Partner
                        a list of the names and addresses of record of all
                        limited partners and the number of Units held by each
                        limited partner. Upon receipt of a written request
                        delivered in person or by certified mail, signed by
                        limited partners owning at least 10% of the outstanding
                        Units, that a meeting of the Partnership be called to
                        consider any matter upon which limited partners may vote
                        pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreement, the
                        General Partner, by written notice to each limited
                        partner of record mailed within 15 days after such
                        receipt, must call a meeting of the Partnership. Such
                        meeting must be held at least 30 but not more than 60
                        days after the mailing of such notice and the notice
                        must specify the date, a reasonable time and place, and
                        the purpose of such meeting.

                        Partnership."
 
Fiscal Year.............The fiscal year of the Partnership will commence on
                        January 1 and end on December 31 each year ("fiscal
                        year").

Fees and Expenses
  to the Partnership....The Partnership will pay substantial fees to the
                        Advisors and SSB. The Partnership will pay each Advisor
                        a monthly management fee equal to 1/6 of 1% (2% per
                        year) of month-end Net Assets (except that Eagle's
                        management fee will be reduced by Eagle's pro rata share
                        of customary and routine administrative expenses of the
                        Partnership) allocated to the respective Advisor.
                        (Management fees are subject to an overall limitation in
                        the Limited Partnership Agreement and the Revised
                        Commodity Pool Guidelines of the North American
                        Securities Administrators Association, Inc. (the "NASAA
                        Guidelines"), as described under "Fees and Expenses to
                        the Partnership -- Caps on Fees".) The Partnership will
                        also pay each Advisor an incentive fee payable annually
                        equal to 20% of the New Trading Profits earned by each
                        Advisor for the Partnership (except Eagle, which will
                        receive an incentive fee of 23% of New Trading Profits),
                        including unrealized appreciation on open positions, as
                        of the end of each period. (Incentive fees are subject
                        to the limits imposed by the NASAA Guidelines and the
                        Limited Partnership Agreement, as described under "Fees
                        and Expenses to the Partnership -- Caps on Fees".) New
                        Trading Profits does not include interest earned or
                        accrued during the period. Substantial incentive fees
                        may be paid to one or more of the Advisors even though
                        the Partnership may incur a net loss for the full year.
 
                        The Customer Agreement provides that the Partnership
                        will pay SSB (i) a monthly brokerage fee equal to 9/20
                        of 1% of month-end Net Assets (5.4% per year) allocated
                        to Eagle, Eckhardt and Rabar in lieu of brokerage
                        commissions on a per trade basis and (ii) $54 per
                        round-turn for transactions entered into by Campbell to
                        be paid monthly, provided that round-turn commissions
                        will be capped at .45% per month (5.4% of Net Assets per
                        year). (The brokerage fee -- together with National
                        Futures Association ("NFA"), exchange, floor brokerage,
                        give-up, user and clearing fees -- is subject to the
                        limitation imposed by the NASAA Guidelines, as described
                        under "Fees and Expenses to the Partnership -- Caps on
                        Fees".) See "Fees and Expenses to the
                        Partnership -- Commodity Broker/Dealer". SSB will pay a
                        portion of such brokerage fees to its Financial
                        Consultants who have sold Units in this offering and who
                        are registered as associated persons with the CFTC. Such
                        Financial Consultants would be credited with a maximum
                        of 83.33% of brokerage fees or an estimated maximum of
                        4.5% of Net Assets per year in return for continuing
                        services to be provided by them to Unit holders as
                        described under "The Commodity
                        Broker/Dealer -- Brokerage Fees". Brokerage fees will be
                        paid for the life of the Partnership, although the rate
                        at which such fees are paid may be changed. Based upon
                        the Advisors' recent trading history, the aggregate
                        brokerage fee that the Partnership will pay is estimated
                        to equal $41.00 per round-turn transaction (as defined
                        in the Glossary) inclusive of floor brokerage and
                        transaction expenses. The General Partner will review,
                        at least annually, the brokerage rates charged to other
                        comparable commodity pools to the extent practicable, to
                        determine that the brokerage rates being paid by the
                        Partnership are competitive with such other rates. The
                        General Partner will renegotiate the Customer Agreement
                        if its fiduciary duties so require. Brokerage fees will
                        not exceed the limit imposed in the NASAA Guidelines.
                        The General Partner, consistent with the restrictions
                        imposed by the Limited Partnership Agreement attached
                        hereto as Exhibit A, as well as the NASAA Guidelines
                        discussed below, may negotiate for increased brokerage
                        fees in appropriate circumstances. The Partnership shall
                        seek the best prices and services available in its
                        commodity futures brokerage transactions. The
 
                                        6
<PAGE>   13
 
                        NASAA Guidelines provide that a brokerage commission is
                        presumptively reasonable if it is 80% of the published
                        retail rate plus pit brokerage fees or if it (including
                        pit brokerage fees) is 14% annually of the average Net
                        Assets of the Partnership (excluding Partnership assets
                        not directly related to trading activity). See "The
                        Commodity Broker/Dealer -- Brokerage Fees". The
                        brokerage fee payable to SSB for a year would equal a
                        maximum of $5,400,000 per year assuming that the
                        Partnership sold 100,000 Units at $1,000 each and Net
                        Assets remained at the same level for the year. On these
                        assumptions, Financial Consultants could be credited
                        with a maximum of approximately $4,500,000.
 
                        The Partnership will pay, or reimburse SSB if previously
                        paid, for National Futures Association ("NFA"),
                        exchange, clearing, user, give-up and floor brokerage
                        fees, all of which are estimated to be up to 1.0% of Net
                        Assets per year. The Partnership will effect all
                        transactions in spot and forward foreign currencies with
                        SSB at prices quoted by SSB which do not include a
                        mark-up.
 
                        The General Partner will bear such general and
                        administrative expenses of the Partnership as may be
                        incurred, but (except as noted below) the Partnership
                        pays all of its legal, accounting, filing, reporting and
                        data processing expenses, incentive fees, management
                        fees, brokerage fees, expenses of the Continuous
                        Offering and extraordinary expenses (only periodic
                        filing and reporting fees are subject to an overall
                        limitation in the Limited Partnership Agreement as
                        described under "Fees and Expenses of the
                        Partnership -- Cap on Fees"). The aggregate annual
                        expenses of every character paid or incurred by the
                        Partnership, including management fees, advisory fees
                        and all other fees, except for incentive fees, commodity
                        brokerage fees, the actual cost of legal and audit
                        services and extraordinary expenses, when added to the
                        customary and routine administrative expenses of the
                        Partnership, shall in no event exceed, on an annual
                        basis, 1/2 of 1% of Net Assets per month (6% per year).
                        For the purpose of this limitation, customary and
                        routine administrative expenses shall include all
                        expenses of the Partnership other than commodity
                        brokerage fees, incentive fees, the actual cost of legal
                        and audit services and extraordinary expenses.
 
                        Offering and organizational expenses related to the
                        Initial Offering Period will be initially borne by SSB.
                        SSB will be reimbursed by the Partnership for the
                        offering and organizational expenses related to the
                        Initial Offering Period (estimated at $700,000)
                        (together with interest at the prime rate quoted by The
                        Chase Manhattan Bank) in 24 equal monthly installments
                        beginning with the month in which trading begins. The
                        accrued liability for reimbursement of offering and
                        organizational expenses of the Initial Offering Period
                        will not reduce Net Asset Value per Unit for any purpose
                        (other than financial reporting), including calculation
                        of management and brokerage fees and the purchase and
                        redemption value of Units. The offering expenses that
                        may be paid or reimbursed to SSB by the Partnership are
                        capped at 15% of the Partners' aggregate subscriptions.
 
                        SSB will pay monthly interest to the Partnership on 80%
                        of the average daily equity maintained in cash in the
                        Partnership's account. Such segregated bank accounts do
                        not ordinarily earn interest. See "Fees and Expenses to
                        the Partnership", "Plan of Distribution" and
                        "Redemptions".

                         ----------------------------------------
                         (1) Brokerage fees will be paid for the life of the
                         Partnership, but the rate at which such fees will be
                         paid may change, provided that such fees (i) remain
                         competitive with the brokerage rates paid by public
                         commodity pools which are comparable to the
                         Partnership, (ii) will not be increased for the first
                         five years of trading if any Advisor is affiliated with
                         the General Partner and (iii) will not exceed the
                         limitations imposed by the NASAA Guidelines. SSB may
                         receive a benefit with respect to Partnership assets
                         maintained in cash as described below under the heading
                         "Fees and Expenses to the Partnership -- Commodity
                         Broker/Dealer."
 
Interest Income.........All of the Partnership's assets will be deposited in
                        cash in brokerage accounts at SSB. SSB deposits the
                        Partnership's cash in segregated bank accounts as
                        required by CFTC regulations. Such accounts do not earn
                        interest. However, SSB will pay monthly interest to the
                        Partnership on 80% of the average daily equity
                        maintained in cash in the Partnership's account at SSB
                        during each month at a 30-day Treasury bill rate
                        determined weekly by SSB based on the average
                        non-competitive yield on 3-month U.S. Treasury bills
                        maturing in 30 days (or on the maturity date closest
                        thereto) from the date on which such weekly rate is
                        determined. All assets in the Partnership's accounts may
                        be used to meet margin requirements. SSB intends to
                        require the Partnership to meet its standard customer
                        margin requirements which may be greater than exchange
                        minimum levels. SSB may benefit from the use of the
                        Partnership's cash to the extent that such use reduces
                        SSB's interest expense in an amount greater than the
                        amount of interest payments received by the Partnership.

Break-even Analysis.....The General Partner estimates that during each fiscal
                        year, the Partnership would be required to make trading
                        profits equal to 7.93%, assuming 15,000 Units are sold
                        and 5.25%, assuming 100,000 Units are sold ($79.30 and
                        $52.48, respectively, based upon a $1,000 investment) of
                        the Net Asset Value per Unit in order for the value of a
                        Unit at year end to equal the initial value of that Unit
                        at the beginning of the year. See "Fees and Expenses to
                        the Partnership."
 
Redemptions.............Beginning at the end of six full months after trading
                        commences, on 10 days' notice to the General Partner, a
                        limited partner may require the Partnership to redeem
                        Units at their Net Asset Value as of the last day of a
                        month ending at least 3 months after the issuance of
                        those Units. Because Net Asset Value fluctuates daily,
                        Limited Partners will not know the redemption value of
                        their Units at the time their notice of redemption is
                        submitted. The General Partner reserves the right to
                        permit the redemption of Units more frequently than
                        monthly (but no more frequently than daily), provided
                        that such action is in the best interest of the
                        Partnership taking into account potential tax
                        consequences to Limited Partners. See "Redemptions". No
                        fee is charged for redemptions. The Partnership's assets
                        are generally valued at fair market value, or in the
                        absence of a fair market value, as determined in good
                        faith by the General Partner. Options are generally
                        valued at the last sale price or, in the absence of a
                        last sale price, the last bid price. The value of a
                        futures contract equals the unrealized gain or loss on
                        the contract that is determined by marking it to the
                        current settlement price for a like contract acquired on
                        the day on which the futures contract is being valued. A
                        settlement price may not be used if the market makes a
                        limit move with respect to a particular commodity.
                        Forward contracts and futures contracts, when no market
                        quote is available, will be valued at their fair market
                        value as determined by the General Partner.
 
Distributions...........Distributions of profits, if any, will be made in the
                        sole discretion of the General Partner and at such times
                        as the General Partner may decide. In view of the fact
                        that a limited partner may redeem his Units and no
                        charge is assessed upon redemption, the General Partner
                        has no current intention of making any distributions. In
                        any event, the General Partner does not intend to make
                        any distribution which would reduce the Net Asset Value
                        of a Unit below $1,000, or if the size of a distribution
                        would not warrant the administrative expense which would
                        be involved, or if, in the opinion of the General
                        Partner, a distribution would otherwise not be in the
                        best interests of the Partnership or the limited
                        partners. The determination of what is in the best
                        interests of the Partnership or limited partners will be
                        made on a case by case basis by the General Partner in
                        its sole discretion and consistent with its fiduciary
                        obligations to the Partnership and the limited partners.
                        To the extent that profits are retained by the
                        Partnership, the Net Assets of the Partnership will be
                        greater, thereby increasing the amount of the brokerage
                        fee which will be earned by SSB with respect to assets
                        allocated to Eagle, Eckhardt and Rabar. See "Conflicts
                        of Interest". A limited partner's tax liability for
                        profits of the Partnership may exceed the amount of any
                        distributions received from the Partnership. See "Risk
                        Factors -- Legal and Regulatory Risks -- Tax Liability
                        May Exceed Cash Distributions" and "Income Tax Aspects".
 
Income Tax Aspects......The trading activities of the Partnership, in general,
                        generate capital gain and loss and ordinary income.
                        Counsel to the Partnership has opined that the
                        Partnership will be treated as a partnership for federal
                        income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Partnership will
                        pay no federal income tax; rather, limited

                        partners will be allocated their proportionate share of
                        the taxable income or losses realized by the Partnership
                        during the period of the Partnership's taxable year that
                        Units were owned by them. Unrealized gains on "Section
                        1256 contracts" as defined in the Internal Revenue Code
                        of 1986 (the "Code") held by the Partnership at the end
                        of its taxable year must be included in income under the
                        "mark-to-market" rule and will be allocated to partners
                        in proportion to their respective capital accounts. The
                        mark-to-market rule does not apply to the Partnership's
                        positions in futures contracts on most foreign exchanges
                        and in foreign currency forward contracts not in the
                        interbank market, unless the Partnership elects such
                        treatment under Code Section 988. The Partnership
                        intends to make the election necessary to gain such
                        treatment.

                                  RISK FACTORS
 
     INVESTMENT IN THE UNITS IS SPECULATIVE AND INVESTORS SHOULD NOT INVEST IN
UNITS UNLESS THEY CAN AFFORD TO LOSE THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT. PROSPECTIVE
PURCHASERS SHOULD CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISKS BEFORE SUBSCRIBING FOR UNITS.
 
COMMODITY TRADING RISKS
 
     COMMODITY TRADING IS SPECULATIVE.  Commodity futures markets are highly
volatile. Profitability of the Partnership's commodity trading will depend on
the ability of the Advisors to analyze the commodity markets, which are
influenced by, among other things, changing supply and demand relationships,
weather, government agricultural, commercial and trade programs and policies,
national and international political and economic events and changes in interest
rates. See "Commodity Markets". Those Advisors who rely solely on technical
trading methods do not generally take into account such fundamental factors
except to the extent such factors are reflected in the technical input data
analyzed by some of the Advisors. The Advisors may trade futures contracts on
stock indices. Such contracts have experienced substantial volatility. While a
volatile market can produce trends which might be identified by the
trend-following strategies employed by some of the Advisors, such markets can
also be without sustained price trends. Participation in a volatile market
without significant trends could produce substantial losses for the Partnership.
 
     COMMODITY TRADING IS HIGHLY LEVERAGED.  Because of the low margin deposits
normally required in commodity futures trading, a high degree of leverage is
typical of a commodity trading account. AS A RESULT, A RELATIVELY SMALL PRICE
MOVEMENT IN A COMMODITY CONTRACT MAY RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL LOSSES TO THE
INVESTOR. For example, if at the time of purchase 10% of the price of the
futures contract is deposited as margin, a 10% decrease in the price of the
futures contract would, if the contract is then closed out, result in a total
loss of the margin deposit before any deduction for the brokerage fee. Thus,
like other leveraged investments, any purchase or sale of a commodity contract
may result in losses to the Partnership in excess of the amount initially
deposited by the Partnership as margin with respect to that contract. SSB does
not intend to require the Partnership to deposit and maintain margin with
respect to its forward currency trading. The General Partner will, however,
impose trading limits on forward trading. See "Commodity Markets -- Margins".
 
     COMMODITY TRADING MAY BE ILLIQUID.  Most commodity exchanges limit
fluctuations in commodity contract prices during a single day by regulations
referred to as "daily price fluctuation limits" or "daily limits". During a
single trading day no trades may be executed at prices beyond the daily limit.
Once the price of a contract for a particular commodity has increased or
decreased by an amount equal to the daily limit, positions in the commodity can
be neither taken nor liquidated unless traders are willing to effect trades at
or within the limit. Commodity futures prices have moved the daily limit for
several consecutive days with little or no trading in the past. Similar
occurrences could prevent the Partnership from promptly liquidating unfavorable
positions and thus subject the Partnership to substantial losses. See "Commodity
Markets -- Regulation".
 
     RISKS OF PURCHASING AND WRITING OPTIONS.  The Partnership may engage in the
trading of commodity options on exchanges. Such trading involves risks
substantially similar to those involved in trading commodity futures contracts
in that options are speculative and highly leveraged. Specific market movements
of the commodities or futures contracts underlying an option cannot accurately
be predicted. The purchaser of an option is subject to the risk of losing the
entire purchase price of the option. The writer of an option is subject to the
risk of loss resulting from the difference between the premium received for the
option and the price of the commodity or futures contract underlying the option
which the writer must purchase or deliver upon exercise of the option. The
Advisors currently do not trade options extensively, but may do so in the
future. The Partnership may trade in over-the-counter currency options to the
extent permitted by CFTC regulation.
 
     RISKS INHERENT IN TRADING STRATEGIES.  Trading decisions of the Advisors
may be based on both fundamental and technical analysis. Fundamental analysis
examines factors external to the trading markets which affect the supply and
demand for a particular commodity in order to predict future prices. Such
analysis may not result in trading profits because of the impact of unexamined
factors affecting supply and demand, incorrect interpretation of certain
factors, the effect of unrelated factors or the inability of fundamental
                                       12
<PAGE>   19
 
analysis to enable an Advisor to determine that previous decisions were
incorrect in sufficient time to avoid substantial losses. The buy and sell
decisions based on technical and trend-following strategies are not based on
analysis of fundamental supply and demand factors, general economic factors or
anticipated world events. The profitability of such trading programs depends
upon occurrence in the future of major price moves or trends in commodities. In
the past there have been periods without trends and such periods may recur. The
past performance of such trading programs is not necessarily indicative of their
future profitability, and no trading program can consistently determine which
commodity futures contracts to enter into or when to enter into them. The best
commodity trading program will not be profitable if there are no trends of the
kind it seeks to identify and follow. Any factor which may lessen the prospect
of major trends in the future (such as increased government control of, or
participation in, the markets) may reduce the Advisors' ability to trade
profitably in the future. Any factor which would make it more difficult to
execute timely trades, such as a significant lessening of liquidity in a
particular market, would also be detrimental to profitability. AS A RESULT OF
THESE FACTORS AND THE GENERAL VOLATILITY OF THE COMMODITIES MARKETS, INVESTORS
SHOULD VIEW THEIR INVESTMENT AS LONG TERM (AT LEAST 2 YEARS) IN ORDER TO PERMIT
THE STRATEGIES OF THE ADVISORS TO FUNCTION OVER TIME. ALTHOUGH THE ADVISORS'
STRATEGIES MAY BE VIEWED AS LONG-TERM, SUCH STRATEGIES MAY ENTAIL THE FREQUENT
OPENING AND CLOSING OF PARTICULAR TRADING POSITIONS. Further, commodity trading
advisors may alter their strategies from time to time in an attempt better to
evaluate market movements. As a result of such periodic modifications, it is
possible that the trading strategies used by the Advisors in the future may be
different from those presently in use. Further, the total amount of funds being
managed by each Advisor may be substantially increased by the addition of the
Partnership's account. Moreover, somewhat different trading strategies may be
required for accounts of differing sizes or trading objectives. See the
discussion of each Advisor's trading strategy in "The Advisors". Limited
partners will be notified of material changes in the Advisors' trading
strategies.
 
     POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF SPECULATIVE POSITION LIMITS.  The CFTC and U.S.
exchanges have established limits referred to as "speculative position limits"
on the maximum net long or net short position which any person may hold or
control in particular futures and options on futures, and most exchanges have
established limits referred to as "trading limits" on the amount of fluctuation
in commodity futures contract prices on a single trading day. Currently, trading
limits do not generally apply to currency futures contracts. See "Commodity
Markets -- Regulation". All commodity futures and options accounts owned or
controlled directly or indirectly by each Advisor or its principals, including
the Partnership's account, are combined for speculative position limit purposes.
Each Advisor believes that established speculative position and trading limits
will not adversely affect its trading for the Partnership. However, it is
possible that the trading instructions of an Advisor for the Partnership may
have to be modified and that positions held by the Partnership may have to be
liquidated in order to avoid exceeding such limits. Such modification or
liquidation, if required, could adversely affect the operations and
profitability of the Partnership. Furthermore, in the unlikely event that
positions in other pools operated by the General Partner but not advised by one
of the Advisors or other accounts managed by SSB or its employees are required
to be aggregated with the Partnership's positions, it is more likely that the
trading instructions of the Advisors for the Partnership would have to be
modified and that positions held by the Partnership would have to be liquidated
in order to avoid exceeding such limits. Neither CFTC nor exchange position nor
trading limits apply to forward contracts in foreign currencies.
 
     POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF COMPETITION.  The Partnership may experience increased
competition for the best prices on the same commodity contracts, not only
because of the utilization by other persons of trend following trading
strategies, but also because at August 31, 1998, commodity accounts aggregating
approximately $2.4 billion (including notional funds), and $2.2 billion
(excluding notional funds), were being managed by the Advisors. Trading orders
for such accounts similar to those of the Partnership are likely to occur
contemporaneously. The Advisors enter trading orders either through the SSB
order desk or through a floor broker selected by the Advisor. Orders placed with
SSB are transmitted through a floor broker selected by SSB and the order fill is
then relayed to the Advisor. For orders entered through a floor broker selected
by the Advisor, such orders are given with instructions to the floor broker to
give up the trade to SSB for order clearance and the Advisor provides SSB with a
list of such "give up" trades initiated by the floor broker. There is no
specific limit under any agreement between any Advisor and the Partnership as to
the number of accounts which may be managed or advised by that Advisor, so that
such competition could be further increased if the Advisor chooses to manage
additional accounts in the future. The performance of the Partnership's
investments in
                                       13
<PAGE>   20
 
commodity interests could also be adversely affected by the manner in which
particular orders are entered by an Advisor for all such accounts traded by that
Advisor.
 
     TRADING IN FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCIES.  The Partnership will engage in the
trading of forward contracts in foreign currencies. In this connection, the
Partnership contracts with SSB to make or take future delivery of a particular
foreign currency. Although the foreign currency market is not believed to be
necessarily more volatile than the market in other commodities, there is less
protection against defaults in the forward trading of currencies than there is
in trading such currencies on an exchange since such forward contracts are not
guaranteed by an exchange or clearing house. Investors are not afforded the
regulatory protections of such exchanges or the CFTC; rather, banks and dealers
act as principals in such markets. Neither the CFTC nor banking authorities
regulate trading in forward foreign currencies. There are no limits on daily
price movements or on speculative positions in this market. Moreover, principals
are not required to continue to make markets in these contracts. The CFTC has
indicated that it may assert jurisdiction over forward contracts in foreign
currencies and attempt to prohibit certain entities from engaging in such
transactions. In the event that such prohibition included the Partnership, the
Partnership would cease trading such contracts. Any of the Advisors may trade
forward contracts in foreign currencies extensively for the Partnership's
account and thus, such a cessation of forward trading could have a substantial
adverse effect on the performance of those Advisors. There are no limits on an
Advisor's ability to trade currency forwards other than the trading policies of
the Partnership and the allocation to each Advisor. See "Trading Policies".
 
     EURO/EMU CONVERSION.  Commencing on January 1, 1999, eleven European
countries will enter into the European Monetary Union ("EMU") and replace their
local currencies with a single currency, the Euro. During a three-year
transition period, the national currencies will continue to circulate, but only
as fixed denominations of the Euro. As of January 1, 2002, the participating
countries will issue new Euro-denominated bills and coins for cash transactions,
and the legacy currencies of the countries will no longer be legal tender.
 
     This process of the conversion to the Euro will impact global trade and
other financial transactions. The impact on the Partnership will involve the
cessation of trading of the member currencies as individual currencies and the
rise in the trading of the Euro. The conversion to a single currency will also
result in the consolidation of certain interest rate and index instruments into
a single currency denomination over time. The contracts traded by the
Partnership's Advisors will necessarily need to change in order to adapt to this
new environment.
 
     In order to address the issues associated with the introduction of the
Euro, SSB and SSBH have undertaken a firm-wide EMU systems conversion and
testing plan. The General Partner has likewise participated in this conversion
process. This effort commenced in 1997 and is substantially complete. SSBH and
affiliated firms will incur an expense of approximately $34 million to bring its
systems and related operations process into compliance for Euro-based
transactions.
 
     The Advisors have advised the General Partner that they have each
separately evaluated the impact of the Euro conversion on their portfolios and
systems. The Advisors have confirmed to the General Partner that they have
modified or are in the process of modifying their portfolios to accommodate the
changes to the contracts traded, the execution of those trades and the
accounting for them in their tables. The Advisors have stated that they have
made changes to the contracts traded in their portfolios in order to prepare for
the EMU conversion. Conversion to the Euro could have a substantial effect on
financial markets, national economies and financial institutions. The Advisors
cannot predict the impact of these events on their portfolios nor can they
provide assurances that such impact will not be material.
 
     Risks to the Partnership exist in the lack of experience with this new
currency and the potential impact it can have on the Advisors' trading programs.
Risks also exist in the failure of external information technology and
accounting systems to adequately prepare for the conversion. This issue is
particularly acute in the area of the exchanges, clearing houses and
over-the-counter foreign exchange markets where the futures interests are
traded. If the necessary changes are not properly implemented, the Partnership
could suffer failed trade settlements, inability to reconcile trading positions
and funding disruptions. Such events could result in erroneous entries in the
Partnership's accounts, mispriced transactions and a delay or inability to
provide timely pricing of Units for the purpose of effecting purchases and
redemptions.
 
                                       14
<PAGE>   21
 
     SSBH has evaluated its internal systems and made the necessary changes to
accommodate Euro transactions on behalf of the Partnership.
 
     The General Partner will continue to monitor and communicate with the
Advisors and related third-party entities to assure preparation for the Euro
conversion and advanced notification of impending issues or problems.
 
     TRADING ON FOREIGN EXCHANGES AND TRADING IN PHYSICAL COMMODITIES.  The
Partnership may trade in commodity contracts on exchanges located outside the
U.S. such as the London International Financial Futures Exchange and the Sydney
Futures Exchange. Trading on such exchanges is not regulated by the CFTC and
may, therefore, be subject to more risks than trading on domestic exchanges such
as the risks of exchange controls, expropriation, burdensome taxation, moratoria
and political or diplomatic events. See "Commodity Markets -- Regulation". In
addition, the rights and responsibilities of the Partnership in the event of an
exchange or clearing house default or bankruptcy are likely to differ from those
existing on U.S. exchanges. There are no limits on the Advisors' ability to
trade on CFTC-approved foreign markets in accordance with the Partnership's
trading policies. See "Trading Policies." The Partnership may engage in spot
commodity transactions (transactions in physical commodities), including
contracts on foreign currencies. Such spot transactions are not regulated by the
CFTC. Some of such transactions may be entered into in conjunction with exchange
for physical transactions. In any principal transactions entered by the
Partnership, the Partnership is subject to the risk of the inability of, or
refusal by, a counterparty to perform with respect to the underlying contract.
Such transactions may be entered into with SSB or an affiliate at prices quoted
by SSB which will not include a mark-up.
 
     RISKS OF PARTNERSHIP FUNDS HELD IN FOREIGN DEPOSITORIES.  The Partnership's
funds held in connection with contracts on U.S. contract markets that are priced
and settled in a foreign currency may be held in accounts denominated in a
foreign currency with a depository located outside the United States or its
territories. The Partnership currently does not intend to maintain any of its
assets with depositories located outside the United States or its territories.
There are no limits on the amount of funds that may be held in foreign
depositories or in funds that may be denominated in foreign currencies. See "Use
of Proceeds". Such accounts are subject to the risk that events could occur
which would hinder or prevent the availability of these funds for distribution
to customers including the Partnership. Such accounts may also be subject to
foreign currency exchange rate risks. The Partnership has agreed with SSB, its
futures commission merchant, that in order to avoid the possible dilution of
other customer funds, any Partnership claims based on such funds will be
subordinated in the unlikely event that both of the following conditions are
met: (A) SSB is placed in receivership or bankruptcy and (B) there are
insufficient funds available for distribution denominated in the foreign
currency as to which the Partnership has a claim to satisfy all claims against
those funds. The Partnership has agreed with SSB that if both conditions (A) and
(B) occur, the Partnership's claim against SSB's assets attributable to funds
held overseas in a particular foreign currency may be satisfied out of
segregated customer funds held in accounts denominated in dollars or other
foreign currencies only after each customer whose funds are held in dollars or
in such other foreign currencies receives its pro rata portion of such funds.
 
RISKS OF PARTNERSHIP STRUCTURE
 
     SUBSTANTIAL FEES AND EXPENSES TO THE PARTNERSHIP.  The Partnership is
obligated to pay brokerage fees, legal, accounting and reporting expenses and
filing fees regardless of whether the Partnership realizes profits. Incentive
fees payable by the Partnership are based upon New Trading Profits earned by
each Advisor for the Partnership annually, including any unrealized appreciation
on open commodity positions. Such appreciation may never be realized by the
Partnership; however, any such lost appreciation would have to be recovered
before another incentive fee would be payable. It should be noted that
substantial incentive fees may be paid to one or more of the Advisors even
though the Partnership may incur a net loss for the full year because the
Partnership is obligated to pay incentive fees based on trading profits
generated by each Advisor regardless of whether the Partnership as a whole is
profitable in a particular period. Therefore, it is possible that the
Partnership could incur substantial incentive fees in a year in which it had no
net trading profits or in which it actually lost money. A $1,000 Unit would have
to increase between 5.25% (assuming 100,000 Units offered hereby are sold) and
7.93% (assuming 15,000 Units are sold) in one year of trading operations (that
is, by between $52.48 and $79.30) for the redemption value per Unit to equal
$1,000. The Partnership is therefore
 
                                       15
<PAGE>   22
 
required to make trading profits and interest income equal to the aforementioned
percentage in order to avoid depletion or exhaustion of its assets from these
expenses. See "Fees and Expenses to the Partnership -- Break-even Analysis".
 
     CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.  Conflicts of interest exist in the structure and
operation of the Partnership's business. These conflicts include (1) the
conflict between the duty of the General Partner to act in the best interests of
the Partnership and any advantage to SSB, an affiliate of the General Partner,
resulting from the trading of the Partnership's account, and (2) the probable
competition with the Partnership by SSB, each of the Advisors, the General
Partner and other commodity pools and accounts organized or advised by such
persons, or their principals, affiliates or customers. The Limited Partnership
Agreement requires the General Partner to review brokerage rates at least
annually and to determine that such rates are competitive with those charged to
other similar commodity pools. In addition, the General Partner, as a fiduciary
to the limited partners, must resolve any conflict in favor of the limited
partners. See "Conflicts of Interest".
 
     NO PUBLIC MARKET FOR UNITS EXISTS.  Although a limited partner may transfer
his Units as of the first day of any month, no market exists for their sale and
none is likely to develop. In addition, a transferee of a Unit can only become a
substituted limited partner with the General Partner's consent. See "The Limited
Partnership Agreement -- Restrictions on Transfer or Assignment". However,
beginning six full months after trading commences, a limited partner may require
the Partnership to redeem that Unit at its Net Asset Value as of the last day of
any month ending three months after that Unit is issued on 10 days' notice to
the General Partner. Under extraordinary circumstances, including market
conditions that would prohibit the liquidation of positions, the Partnership may
delay redemptions beyond the end of the applicable month. See "Redemptions".
 
     LIMITED PARTNERS WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN MANAGEMENT.  Purchasers of the
Units are not entitled to participate in the management or control of the
Partnership or the conduct of its business. Limited Partners have limited voting
rights with respect to the Partnership's affairs. See "The Limited Partnership
Agreement -- Management of Partnership Affairs".
 
     EXPIRATION OF MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS WITH THE ADVISORS.  The Management
Agreements between the General Partner and each of the Advisors expire each June
30. No assurance is given that the services of an Advisor will be available on
the terms contained in its Management Agreement after its expiration (provided,
however, that in any contract renewal or renegotiation an existing Advisor will
carry forward all losses attributable to that Advisor), or that a new advisor
would agree to such terms. See "The Advisors -- Management Agreements". In the
event that a new advisor is selected, New Trading Profits earned by the new
advisor will not be reduced by cumulative net realized trading losses, if any,
incurred by the prior advisor. Any fees paid to a new or replacement advisor
will comply with NASAA Guidelines. Subject to the caps of fees to which the
Partnership is generally subject, the fees payable by the Partnership to an
Advisor could increase following the termination of a management agreement,
either according to the terms of a new management agreement, or if a new advisor
were selected by the General Partner for the Partnership.
 
     DISSOLUTION OF THE PARTNERSHIP; CESSATION OF TRADING.  The Partnership will
dissolve on December 31, 2018, unless earlier dissolved pursuant to the Limited
Partnership Agreement, regardless of its financial condition or market positions
on such date. Liquidation of positions at such date may result in losses to the
Partnership. The Partnership may cease trading and liquidate all open positions
prior to its dissolution. See "The Limited Partnership Agreement -- Dissolution
of the Partnership" and "The Limited Partnership Agreement -- Management of
Partnership Affairs."
 
     In the event of early cessation of trading, the Partnership would continue
to accrue legal, accounting, reporting and filing expenses.
 
     NO INDEPENDENT REVIEW.  The Partnership, the General Partner and SSB are
affiliated entities and are represented by single counsel. Therefore, to the
extent the Partnership and this offering would benefit by independent review,
such benefit will not be available in this offering. There may also be an
absence of arm's-length negotiations with respect to some of the terms of this
offering, including with respect to the Customer Agreement and Selling Agreement
with SSB. The General Partner believes that the terms received by the
Partnership with respect to such negotiation are no less favorable to the
Partnership than they would be as a result of arm's-length negotiations. The
Advisors are each represented by themselves or by their own counsel.

     OPERATING HISTORY OF PARTNERSHIP AND GENERAL PARTNER.  The CFTC requires
commodity pool operators to disclose to prospective pool participants the actual
performance record of their pools for at least the previous five years. The
Partnership has not yet begun trading. However, the General Partner currently
operates over twenty-two other active commodity pools. The performance records
of these pools are set forth under the caption "The General Partner -- Other
Pools Operated by the General Partner". Investors should note that the advisors
to such pools operated by the General Partner may vary from the Advisors for the
Partnership, and that the trading strategies of such advisors may also vary from
those employed by the Advisors. INVESTORS SHOULD NOTE THAT THE PERFORMANCE
RECORDS OF THE GENERAL PARTNER'S OTHER COMMODITY POOLS ARE NOT INDICATIVE OF THE
PERFORMANCE OF THE PARTNERSHIP.
 
     RELIANCE ON ADVISORS AND KEY PERSONNEL.  The Partnership will rely on the
Advisors to manage its portfolio. There can be no assurance that the respective
trading systems and strategies used by the Advisors will prove to be successful
under all or any market conditions. In addition, each Advisor relies on key
personnel to implement its trading strategies and is therefore subject to the
risk that those individuals may be unable to implement such trading strategies.
The General Partner may terminate an Advisor in certain circumstances and may
replace such Advisor with a new advisor or may make trading decisions for the
Partnership itself, but it is extremely unlikely that the General Partner or
replacement advisor would trade in the same way that the terminated Advisor
traded for the Partnership. See "The Advisors -- Management Agreements."
 
     RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT.  The Limited Partnership Agreement
provides that a limited partner may assign his Units upon notice to the General
Partner. No assignment of Units will be effective against the Partnership or the
General Partner until the commencement of the next month after the General
Partner receives such notice. Without the consent of the General Partner (which
consent may be withheld at its sole and absolute discretion for the purpose of
preserving the Partnership's tax status or to avoid adverse legal consequences
to the Partnership), no assignee may become a substituted limited partner. An
assignee who becomes a substituted limited partner will be subject to all of the
rights and liabilities of a limited partner of the Partnership. An assignee who
does not become a substituted limited partner will be entitled to receive the
share of the profits or the return of capital to which his assignor would
otherwise be entitled, but will not be entitled to vote, to an accounting of
Partnership transactions, to receive tax information or to inspect the books and
records of the Partnership.
 
LEGAL AND REGULATORY RISKS
 
     TAX LIABILITY MAY EXCEED CASH DISTRIBUTIONS.  Cash will be distributed to
the partners in the sole discretion of the General Partner, and the General
Partner may determine not to make a distribution in any particular year of the
Partnership. The Partnership's taxable income for a fiscal year (including both
realized income and income resulting from marking-to-market positions in
regulated futures and other contracts) will be taxable to the partners in
accordance with their pro rata shares of Partnership profits for tax purposes
whether or not any cash has been distributed to the partners. As a result, cash
distributions to a limited partner in a given year may be less than the taxes
payable by that partner with respect to Partnership profits for that year.
However, subject to certain conditions and exceptions, after the end of a
three-month holding period, each partner may redeem his Units (as of the end of
any month) in order to provide funds for the payment of taxes or for any other
purpose. See "Redemptions" and "Income Tax Aspects".
 
     POSSIBILITY OF TAXATION AS A CORPORATION.  The General Partner has been
advised by Willkie Farr & Gallagher, its attorneys, that under current federal
income tax laws and regulations and given the factual assumptions set forth
under "Income Tax Aspects", the Partnership will be classified as a partnership
and not as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation. Such opinion
is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service. No ruling has been obtained from
the Internal Revenue Service in this regard and the Partnership does not intend
to apply for any such ruling. The facts and authorities relied upon by counsel
in their opinion may change in the future. See "Income Tax
Aspects -- Classification as a Partnership" and "-- Application of 'Publicly
Traded Partnership' Rules to the Partnership". If the Partnership should be
treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for federal
income tax purposes, income or loss of the Partnership would not be passed
through to the partners, and the Partnership would be subject to tax on its
income at the rate of tax applicable to corporations. In addition, all or a
portion of distributions of Partnership income would
 
                                       17
<PAGE>   24
 
generally be taxable to the partners as corporate dividends, and the partners'
tax on such distributions would be in addition to the corporate tax paid by the
Partnership on the same income.
 
     TAXATION OF COMMODITY INTERESTS.  Commodity interests are subject to
special tax rules, which rules will apply to the taxation of Partnership income
and loss. There can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will not
issue regulations that would adversely affect the expected treatment of
Partnership transactions or that such regulations would not be given retroactive
effect. Finally, Willkie Farr & Gallagher cannot opine on whether and to what
extent Partnership transactions would be taken into account by the Internal
Revenue Service in determining the tax consequences of transactions entered into
by a partner in his individual capacity. See "Income Tax Aspects".
 
     ABSENCE OF REGULATION APPLICABLE TO SECURITIES MUTUAL FUNDS AND THEIR
ADVISORS.  Since the purpose of the Partnership is to trade commodities, the
Partnership has not registered as a securities investment company, or "mutual
fund", subject to extensive regulation by the Securities and Exchange Commission
imposed upon such entities under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(the "1940 Act"). Therefore, investors may not be accorded the protective
measures provided by such legislation. In addition, none of the Advisors is
registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940,
as amended, or any similar state law. However, the General Partner is a
CFTC-registered commodity pool operator and each of the Advisors is a
CFTC-registered commodity trading advisor. See "Commodity
Markets -- Regulation". Any determination that the Partnership be required to
register as an investment company under the 1940 Act could have serious adverse
consequences for the Partnership, the General Partner, the Advisors and the
limited partners. In the event of such determination (or for any other reason),
the General Partner may, in its discretion, withdraw from the Partnership,
causing its dissolution.
 
     REGULATION OF COMMODITY POOL OPERATORS AND COMMODITY TRADING ADVISORS.  The
General Partner is a registered commodity pool operator and each of the Advisors
is a registered commodity trading advisor, as required by Federal law. Any
determination by the CFTC to terminate, suspend, revoke or not renew the
registration of the General Partner would cause the General Partner to withdraw
as general partner of the Partnership; the limited partners would then determine
to select a replacement general partner (as provided in the Limited Partnership
Agreement) or to dissolve the Partnership. Any determination by the CFTC to
terminate, suspend, revoke or not renew the registrations of any of the Advisors
would cause the General Partner to terminate the respective Management Agreement
with such Advisor, as permitted in the Management Agreements. The General
Partner could reallocate the Partnership's assets managed by that Advisor to the
other advisors; or appoint a new advisor (including itself).
 
SALES AND DISTRIBUTION RISKS
 
     PARTICIPATION OF PROMOTERS.  SSB and the General Partner have been
instrumental in the organization of the Partnership and may be deemed
"promoters" of the Partnership within the meaning of Rule 405 under the
Securities Act of 1933. No selling agent which is not affiliated with the
General Partner and SSB has made an investigation of the offering or has
participated in the negotiation of its terms or the structuring of the
Partnership.
 
     NO ASSURANCE THAT UNITS WILL BE SOLD.  The offering of Units is being made
on behalf of the Partnership through SSB on a best efforts basis without any
commitment by an underwriter to purchase any of the Units. Therefore, no
assurance is given that any or all of the Units will be sold. See "Plan of
Distribution".
 
     CONSIDERATIONS FOR NON-U.S. INVESTORS.  Non-U.S. investors should note that
Units are denominated in U.S. dollars and that changes in rates of exchange
between currencies may cause the value of the investment to diminish or to
increase. Non-U.S. investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning
local tax implications of this investment.
 
     The foregoing list of Risk Factors does not purport to be a complete
explanation of the risks involved in this offering. Potential investors should
read the entire Prospectus before determining to invest in the Units.

(1) Brokerage fees will be paid for the life of the Partnership, but the rate at
    which such fees will be paid may change, provided that such fees (i) remain
    competitive with the brokerage rates paid by public commodity pools which
    are comparable to the Partnership, (ii) will not be increased for the first
    five years of trading if any Advisor is affiliated with the General Partner
    and (iii) together with NFA, exchange, floor brokerage, give-up, user and
    clearing fees, will not exceed the limitations imposed by the NASAA
    Guidelines. SSB may receive a benefit with respect to Partnership assets
    maintained in cash as described below under the heading "Fees and Expenses
    to the Partnership -- Commodity Broker/Dealer."
 
     CAPS ON FEES.  Fees to which the Partnership is subject are in turn subject
to several limitations imposed by the Limited Partnership Agreement or the NASAA
Guidelines or both as follows. (A) The Limited Partnership Agreement contains an
overall limitation on expenses which provides that the aggregate annual fees and
expenses of every kind paid or incurred by the Partnership ("Aggregate
Expenses"), including management fees, advisory fees and all other fees except
for incentive fees and commodity brokerage fees, when added to the customary and
routine administrative expenses of the Partnership, shall in no event exceed, on
an annual basis, 1/2 of 1% of Net Assets per month as required by the NASAA
Guidelines. For the purpose of this limitation, customary and routine
administrative expenses include all expenses of the Partnership other than
commodity brokerage fees, incentive fees, the actual cost of legal and
accounting services and extraordinary expenses. Periodic filing and reporting
fees are also subject to this overall limitation. There is no cap on the costs
of legal and accounting services or extraordinary expenses. (B) In addition, as
provided in the Limited Partnership Agreement and the NASAA Guidelines, the
aggregate incentive fee paid by the Partnership shall not exceed 15% of New
Trading Profits, except that an additional 2% incentive fee may be paid for each
1% by which the Partnership's Aggregate Expenses are reduced below 6% annually.
(C) Furthermore, the NASAA Guidelines also provide that brokerage fees (together
with NFA, exchange, floor brokerage, give-up, user and clearing fees) will be
considered presumptively reasonable if they do not exceed 14% annually of the
Partnership's Net Assets (excluding Partnership assets not directly related to
trading activity) or if they are 80% of the published retail rate, plus pit
brokerage fees.
 
     In addition, the Limited Partnership Agreement prohibits the payment of
management and incentive fees to any person who receives brokerage commissions
or fees on transactions for the Partnership, as well as the payment by any
broker of rebates or give-ups to any advisor. Such prohibitions may not be
circumvented by any reciprocal business arrangements.
 
     In no event will organizational and offering expenses exceed 15% of the
Partners' capital contributions.
 
     ADVISORS.  THE PARTNERSHIP PAYS EACH ADVISOR A MONTHLY MANAGEMENT FEE EQUAL
TO 1/6 OF 1% (2% PER YEAR) OF MONTH-END NET ASSETS (EXCEPT THAT EAGLE'S
MANAGEMENT FEE WILL BE REDUCED BY EAGLE'S PRO RATA SHARE OF THE PARTNERSHIP'S
CUSTOMARY AND ROUTINE ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES) ALLOCATED TO THE RESPECTIVE
ADVISOR. THE PARTNERSHIP ALSO PAYS AN INCENTIVE FEE PAYABLE ANNUALLY EQUAL TO
20% OF NEW TRADING PROFITS EARNED BY CAMPBELL, ECKHARDT AND RABAR FOR THE
PARTNERSHIP AND 23% OF NEW TRADING PROFITS EARNED BY EAGLE. The annual incentive
fees payable to the Advisors (for purposes of calculating the Net Asset Value as
of the end of the month that is not the end of a year) will be accrued on a
monthly basis. No incentive fee shall be paid until the end of nearest calendar
quarter ending at least twelve months after trading commences,
 
                                       20
<PAGE>   27
 
which fee shall be based on New Trading Profits earned from the commencement of
trading operations by the Partnership through the end of that period. From that
point on, incentive fees will be paid as of the end of each calendar year. New
Trading Profits are computed solely based on commodity trading. "New Trading
Profits" earned by an Advisor is defined in the Management Agreement as the
excess, if any, of Net Assets managed by the Advisor at the end of the fiscal
period over Net Assets managed by the Advisor at the end of the highest previous
fiscal period or Net Assets allocated to the Advisor at the date trading
commences, whichever is higher, and as further adjusted to eliminate the effect
on Net Assets resulting from new capital contributions, redemptions,
reallocations or capital distributions, if any, made during the fiscal period
decreased by interest or other income, not directly related to trading activity,
earned on the Partnership's assets during the fiscal period, whether the assets
are held separately or in margin accounts. Ongoing expenses are attributed to
each Advisor based on the Advisor's proportionate share of Net Assets and shall
not include management fees of the Partnership's other Advisors. Ongoing
expenses above do not include expenses of litigation not involving the
activities of the Advisor on behalf of the Partnership.
 
     If any payment is made to an Advisor with respect to New Trading Profits
earned by an Advisor for the Partnership, and the Partnership thereafter incurs
a net loss for any subsequent period, the Advisor will retain the amount
previously paid in respect of New Trading Profits. If Net Assets allocated to
the Advisor are reduced due to net redemptions, distributions or reallocations,
there will be a proportional reduction in the related loss carryforward amount
that must be recouped before the Advisor is eligible to receive another
incentive fee. Substantial incentive fees may be paid to one or more of the
Advisors even though the Partnership may incur a net loss for the full year. For
example, if at the end of the year an Advisor had earned New Trading Profits of
$500,000, that Advisor would be paid an incentive fee of 20% (or, in the case of
Eagle, 23%) thereof, or $100,000 (or $115,000), respectively. That Advisor would
be entitled to retain that $100,000 (or $115,000) even if that account
experienced losses during the subsequent year. However, that Advisor would not
be again entitled to an incentive fee until such losses incurred by that Advisor
were recovered.
 
     COMMODITY BROKER/DEALER.  SSB acts as commodity broker/dealer for the
Partnership. The Partnership has agreed to pay SSB a monthly commodity brokerage
fee equal to (i) 9/20 of 1% of month-end Net Assets (5.4% per year) allocated to
Eagle, Eckhardt and Rabar and (ii) $54 per round-turn transaction for Campbell,
up to a cap of .45% of Net Assets per month (5.4% per year). Based upon the
recent trading history of the Advisors, the fee that the Partnership will pay is
estimated to equal $41 per round-turn transaction. The brokerage rate may be
substantially higher than the rate which SSB charges certain other customers
with accounts of a similar size. The brokerage fees will be paid for the life of
the Partnership, although the rates at which such fees are paid may change. See
"The Commodity Broker/Dealer -- Brokerage Fees". Brokerage fees will not exceed
the limit imposed by the NASAA Guidelines. The Partnership enters into spot and
forward transactions with SSB as principal at prices quoted by SSB which reflect
a price differential between the bid and the ask prices (which differential
includes anticipated profits and costs to SSB as dealer), but do not include a
mark-up. The spread charged on related party trades will be at competitive
market prices. Thus, the price quoted to the Partnership will be less than or
equal to the price quoted to any other SSB account for the same forward or spot
transaction.
 
     The Partnership's funds will be maintained in cash and deposited by SSB in
segregated bank accounts as required by CFTC regulations. Such accounts do not
earn interest. SSB has informal arrangements with various banks with which it
does business pursuant to which it obtains overdraft privileges which are
extended as a result of the total banking relationship between SSB and the banks
which includes the deposit of customer funds so segregated (although such funds
cannot be attached by the bank in the event of the failure of SSB to repay the
overdraft). As a result of such overdraft privileges, SSB is usually able to
reduce its other short term borrowings which generally carry a higher interest
rate than the 30-day U.S. Treasury bill yield.
 
     The Partnership will pay, or will reimburse SSB if previously paid by SSB
on behalf of the Partnership, for any NFA, exchange, floor brokerage, give-up,
user or clearing fees applicable to the Partnership's trading. Such fees and
charges will be paid to the exchange on which the trades are effected, to the
floor broker or brokerage executing a transaction, to the clearing association
for such exchange or to the NFA. Although it is impossible to predict the amount
of such fees accurately, based on the recent trading history of the Advisors,
 
                                       21

the Partnership could pay approximately 1.0% of Net Assets per year to cover
these fees. This is an estimate and not a cap. Such fees are subject to various
caps as discussed in this section under "Caps on Fees".
 
     OTHERS.  The Partnership is obligated to pay periodic legal, accounting,
filing, reporting and data processing fees and the expenses of the Continuous
Offering which may equal up to approximately .15% of Net Assets ($150,000) if
100,000 Units offered hereby are sold and .80% of Net Assets ($120,000) if
15,000 Units offered hereby are sold. The Limited Partnership Agreement requires
the Partnership to bear all of its offering expenses of the Continuous Offering.
See "Use of Proceeds". The Partnership also bears any extraordinary expenses
incurred by it. Any and all other general and administrative expenses of the
Partnership are borne by the General Partner.
 
                              BREAK-EVEN ANALYSIS
 
     The following table is a summary of fees and expenses expressed both as a
dollar amount and as a percentage of a $1,000 investment in the Partnership. See
"Fees and Expenses to the Partnership." The break-even point per Unit (that is,
the trading profit the Partnership must realize in the first year of a limited
partner's investment so that such investment at the end of the year is equal to
its value at the beginning of the year), assuming a limited partner purchases
Units at $1,000 each as of the beginning of the year and redeems its Units at
the end of the first year of its investment, is 7.93%, or $79.30 per Unit
(assuming the estimated Partnership size is $15,000,000), or 5.25%, or $52.48
per Unit (assuming the estimated Partnership size is $100,000,000).

</TABLE>
 
- ---------------
(1) Investors will initially purchase Units at $1,000 each. During the
    Continuous Offering, Units may be purchased at the prevailing Net Asset
    Value per Unit.
 
(2) The Partnership will earn interest income on 80% of the average daily equity
    maintained in the Partnership's cash accounts at a rate equal to the average
    yield on the 30-day U.S. Treasury bills issued during each month. For
    purposes of this analysis, interest income was estimated at 3.84% of the
    Partnership's Net Asset Value (assuming an estimated annual interest rate of
    4.80%).
 
(3) Brokerage fees were estimated at 6.4% (5.4% for brokerage fees and 1.0% for
    other trading-related expenses) of Net Assets. Based upon the recent trading
    history of the Advisors, the fee that the Partnership will pay is equal to
    approximately $41.00 per round-turn transaction, of which $36.00 is
    brokerage commissions and $5.00 is other trading-related fees. In
    calculating the brokerage fee, Net Assets equals the equity maintained in
    cash at the end of the month plus unrealized gain (loss) on open positions
    and accrued interest income for the month.
 
(4) The Partnership's Advisors will be paid management fees of up to 2% of Net
    Assets. In calculating the management fee, Net Assets equals the equity
    maintained in cash at the end of the month plus unrealized gain (loss) on
    open positions and accrued interest income for the month, less the monthly
    brokerage fee amount, except that Eagle's management fee was further reduced
    by its pro rata share of the Partnership's customary and routine
    administrative expenses.
 
(5) Organizational and offering expenses will initially be borne by SSB. The
    Partnership will reimburse SSB for these expenses, estimated at $700,000,
    together with interest at the prime rate quoted by the Chase
 
                                       22

    Manhattan Bank, in 24 equal monthly installments beginning with the end of
    the month in which trading commences.
 
(6) Operating expenses include periodic legal, accounting, filing and reporting
    fees, and the expenses of the continuous offering but do not include
    extraordinary expenses. These expenses are expected to amount to either
    $120,000 or $150,000 assuming either 15,000 or 100,000 Units offered hereby
    are sold at $1,000 per Unit, respectively. Assuming 15,000 Units are sold
    this estimate consists of (i) legal expenses of $60,000, (ii) accounting
    expenses of $40,000 and (iii) other expenses (such as filing and reporting
    fees) of $20,000. Assuming 100,000 Units are sold, this estimate is
    comprised of (i) legal expenses of $65,000, (ii) accounting expenses of
    $50,000 and (iii) other expenses (such as filing and reporting fees) of
    $35,000.
 
     Each Advisor will also receive an annual incentive fee of 20%, or 23% in
the case of Eagle. These amounts have not been included in the table above
because they are calculated based on New Trading Profits after deducting all of
the Partnership's expenses.
 
                        POTENTIAL BENEFITS TO INVESTORS
 
     Investment in the Units is speculative and involves risks, including the
risk of loss. See "Risk Factors". However, investment in the Partnership offers
the following potential advantages:
 
     PROFESSIONAL TRADING MANAGEMENT.  Commodity trading decisions are made for
the Partnership by the Advisors. The Advisors manage the commodity investments
of the Partnership pursuant to the trading policies of the Partnership and
certain trend-following techniques and other technical and fundamental
strategies. The performance of commodity accounts managed by the Advisors is
described under "The Advisors".
 
     DIVERSIFICATION.  The assets of the Partnership will normally be invested
in a number of commodities, so that each limited partner will obtain greater
diversification in commodities traded than would be possible trading
individually unless substantially more than the $5,000 minimum investment
($2,000 in the case of employee-benefit plans, and subject to higher minimums in
certain states) required by the Partnership were committed to the commodity
markets. See "Trading Policies" and "The Advisors".
 
     In addition, managed futures is considered by some to be part of a class of
alternative investments to traditional stocks and bonds. Other alternative
investments include venture capital, hedge funds and real estate, among others.
Managed futures investments, while significantly less liquid than most stocks
and bonds, may be more liquid than some other alternative investments. Unlike
many other alternative investments, net asset values of managed futures
portfolios are generally available on a daily basis.
 
     Allocating a portion of the risk segment of a portfolio to a managed
futures investment, such as the Partnership, can add a potentially valuable
element of diversification to a traditionally structured stock and bond
portfolio. Historically, the returns of many managed futures investments have
exhibited a substantial degree of non-correlation with the performance of the
general equity and debt markets (as reflected in the performance of various
market indices such as the Standard & Poor's 500 Index for domestic equities,
the Lehman Brothers Bond Index for debt and the Morgan Stanley Europe,
Australasia and the Far East Index for international equities), suggesting that
a managed futures component may provide a valuable complement to a traditional
portfolio.
 
     The benefit of adding managed futures to a portfolio is an application of
Modern Portfolio Theory. Modern Portfolio Theory is an analytical framework
developed in 1952 by Harry M. Markowitz, a Harvard professor, who was awarded
the Nobel Prize for Economics in 1990. This Theory demonstrated how it is
possible for an investor to construct a portfolio that balances desired returns
with tolerable risks (volatility as measured by standard deviation). This
objective can be achieved by adding positive yielding investments whose returns
have a low to negative or non-correlation to the other investments in the
portfolio. It was shown how such a portfolio could produce an improved
risk-adjusted return compared to any of the portfolio's individual components.
If in fact a managed futures program such as the Partnership produces positive
returns which have low to non-correlation to stocks and bonds, allocating a
portion of the risk segment of a portfolio to managed futures can potentially
improve the overall return and reduce the volatility of the total portfolio over
the long term.
 
                                       23
<PAGE>   30
 
     Although the General Partner generally endorses the modern portfolio
theory, there can be no assurance that any managed futures investment will be
successful, avoid substantial losses or generate performance non-correlated with
the equity or debt markets. Furthermore, non-correlation is not negative
correlation. Even if the performance of the Partnership is non-correlated with
these markets, this does not mean that the Partnership's results will not
parallel either or both during significant periods of time. In any event, unless
a managed futures investment is successful, it cannot add a potentially valuable
element of diversification to a portfolio.
 
     MULTI-ADVISOR TRADING.  The General Partner has selected multiple Advisors
for the Partnership in an attempt to protect against losses while retaining the
ability to make profits for the Partnership. Due to the different trading
methods to be employed for the Partnership, losses incurred by one of the
Advisors may be offset in whole or in part by profits earned by the other
Advisors during the same time period, although there is no guarantee that this
result will occur. In fact, profits earned by one Advisor may be entirely offset
by losses incurred by the other Advisors.
 
     LIMITED LIABILITY.  Unlike an individual who invests directly in commodity
futures or forward contracts, an investor in the Partnership cannot be
individually subjected to margin calls and cannot lose more than the amount of
his contribution to the Partnership and his share of the Partnership's profits
(including distributions of profits and payments on redemption of his Units). It
is possible for a limited partner to lose the entire amount of his contribution
to the Partnership. See "Commodity Markets -- Margins" and "The Limited
Partnership Agreement -- Liability of Limited Partners".
 
     INTEREST INCOME.  SSB will pay the Partnership interest on 80% of the
average daily equity maintained in cash in the Partnership's trading accounts
with SSB. An individual trader would generally not receive interest on the funds
in his commodity account unless he committed substantially more than the $5,000
minimum investment required by the Partnership. See "The Commodity
Broker/Dealer -- Customer Agreement".
 
     BROKERAGE FEES.  The Partnership pays SSB a monthly brokerage fee equal to
up to 9/20 of 1% of month-end Net Assets (5.4% per year). The Partnership will
also pay certain fees in connection with its trading as described under "Fees
and Expenses to the Partnership -- Others." See "Fees and Expenses to the
Partnership -- Commodity Broker/Dealer". The Partnership may therefore pay lower
commission rates than many public customers of SSB. Certain public customers of
SSB may pay lower commission rates than the Partnership pays, and other
commodity brokerage firms might offer lower rates to an account the size of the
Partnership's because different accounts require different levels of service and
monitoring based upon the number of advisors and the volume and complexity of
trading. In addition, pursuant to its Customer Agreement with SSB, the
Partnership will receive several administrative services, such as account
reconcilement, payment of fees and expenses, crediting of interest income and
assistance with regulatory filings and monthly reports. These types of services
may not be provided to certain other public customers of SSB and may account for
the possibly higher fees paid by the Partnership. See "Commodity
Broker/Dealer -- Customer Agreement". Brokerage fees will be paid for the life
of the Partnership, although the rate at which such fees are paid may change.
See "Conflicts of Interest" and "The Commodity Broker/Dealer -- Brokerage Fees".
 
     ADMINISTRATIVE CONVENIENCE.  The Partnership provides investors with many
services designed to simplify the administrative details involved in
engaging directly in commodities transactions, including maintaining the books
and accounts of trading activities, preparing monthly and annual reports to
limited partners and supplying limited partners with information necessary for
individual federal tax returns. See "The Limited Partnership Agreement --
Reports to Limited Partners".
 
                             CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
 
     The following inherent or potential conflicts of interest should be
considered by prospective investors before subscribing for Units:
 
     RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE GENERAL PARTNER AND THE COMMODITY
BROKER/DEALER.  The General Partner is an affiliate of SSB, which acts as the
commodity broker/dealer for the Partnership. Since SSB charges the Partnership a
monthly brokerage fee based on Net Assets with respect to trading by Eagle,
Eckhardt and Rabar (initially 65% of the Partnership's Net Assets) rather than a
per transaction commission, and the per-
 
                                       24
<PAGE>   31
 
trade commissions to be paid with respect to trading by Campbell are capped at
5.4% of Net Asset Value, the General Partner has no incentive to select advisors
that will generate a large number of trades to benefit SSB. Instead, the General
Partner may have a conflict of interest between its responsibility to manage the
Partnership for the benefit of the limited partners and its interest in
selecting advisors that will generate a small number of trades, thus incurring
small amounts of charges incidental to trading so that Net Assets, from which
SSB's fees are paid, remain relatively higher. Furthermore, the less active the
trading, the fewer services SSB will be required to provide to the Partnership
with respect to such trading. In addition, the General Partner may have an
incentive to select advisors that trade more forward and spot contracts than
futures and options contracts, since forward and spot prices may include a
profit margin to SSB as dealer. Because the General Partner is an affiliate of
SSB, the General Partner has a potential conflict of interest in its decision to
replace the futures commission merchant, if necessary. The fact that the General
Partner and SSB are affiliated creates a potential conflict in that the fees
received by SSB have not been set by "arm's-length" negotiation. The General
Partner is a fiduciary to the limited partners and, as such, must resolve any
conflict in favor of the limited partners. Prospective investors should be aware
that because SSB and certain Financial Consultants (excluding principals of the
General Partner) receive a portion of the commodity brokerage fees generated by
the Partnership and allocated to outstanding Units sold by them, SSB and such
Financial Consultants may have a conflict of interest in advising subscribers as
to whether they should redeem their Units or purchase additional Units. Except
as otherwise set forth in this section, no other conflict of interest exists on
the part of any other principal of SSB. See "The Commodity Broker/Dealer -- 
Brokerage Fees".
 
     BROKERAGE RATE CHARGED BY THE COMMODITY BROKER/DEALER.  Pursuant to the
Customer Agreement between the Partnership and SSB, SSB acts as the commodity
broker/dealer for the Partnership. Because the General Partner is an affiliate
of SSB, the General Partner may have a conflict of interest between its
responsibility to manage the Partnership for the benefit of the limited partners
and its interest in obtaining brokerage rates which are favorable to SSB. SSB
charges the Partnership a monthly brokerage fee equal to up to 9/20 of 1% of
month-end Net Assets (5.4% per year). Although the Customer Agreement is
non-exclusive, so that the Partnership has the right to seek lower brokerage
rates from other brokers at any time, the General Partner believes that the
arrangements between the Partnership and SSB are consistent with arrangements
other comparable commodity pools have entered into with other futures commission
merchants and are fair to the Partnership and does not intend to negotiate with
SSB to obtain lower commission rates or to refer brokerage transactions to other
firms. However, the General Partner will review, at least annually, the
commission rates charged to other comparable commodity pools to determine that
the brokerage fee being paid by the Partnership is competitive with such other
rates. The General Partner, as a fiduciary to the limited partners, must resolve
any conflict in favor of the limited partners. Therefore, at the time of such
review, the General Partner will consider whether any action need be taken in
light of its obligations to the Partnership, and will advise the limited
partners of any action so taken. Limited partners would not be able to require
the General Partner to take any specific action, but could vote to terminate the
Customer Agreement with SSB (with the vote of limited partners owning more than
50% of the Units). See "The Limited Partnership Agreement -- Amendments;
Meetings".
 
     DISTRIBUTION OF PROFITS.  The General Partner has sole discretion as to the
distribution of profits, if any, to the limited partners. The determination of
what is in the best interest of the Partnership or limited partners will be made
on a case by case basis by the General Partner in its sole discretion and
consistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Partnership and the limited
partners. To the extent that profits are retained by the Partnership rather than
distributed, the Net Assets of the Partnership, which determine the brokerage
fees payable in any year, will be increased, thereby increasing the maximum
amount of fees which can be earned by SSB. In addition, the amount of funds in
segregated accounts at banks which extend overdraft privileges to SSB will be
greater to the extent that profits are retained. See "The Commodity
Broker/Dealer -- Customer Agreement". Thus, the General Partner may have a
conflict of interest between its obligation to the limited partners in
considering a distribution of profits and its interest in increasing fees
payable to SSB. Any such conflict must be resolved in favor of the limited
partners. In any event, the General Partner does not intend to make any
distribution which would reduce the Net Asset Value of a Unit below $1,000, or
if the size of a distribution would not warrant the administrative expense which
would be involved, or if, in the opinion of the
 
                                       25
<PAGE>   32
 
General Partner, a distribution would otherwise not be in the best interests of
the Partnership or the limited partners. The General Partner has no current
intention of making any distributions.
 
     ACCOUNTS OF SSB, THE GENERAL PARTNER AND THEIR AFFILIATES.  The officers,
directors and employees of SSB and the General Partner, as well as SSB and the
General Partner themselves, may trade in commodity contracts for their own
accounts. The records of any such trading will not be available for inspection
by limited partners. In addition, SSB is a futures commission merchant and
effects transactions in commodity futures contracts for its customers. Thus, it
is possible that SSB could effect transactions for the Partnership in which the
other parties to the transactions are its officers, directors or employees or
its customers. Such persons might also compete with the Partnership in making
purchases or sales of contracts without knowing that the Partnership is also
bidding on such contracts. Trading decisions for the Partnership are not
currently made by the General Partner, SSB or their affiliates. CFTC regulations
require that SSB, to the extent possible, insure that each order received from
the Partnership which is executable at or near the market price be transmitted
to the floor of the appropriate contract market before any order in the same
commodity for any proprietary account of SSB.
 
     CONTROL OF OTHER ACCOUNTS BY THE ADVISORS.  The Advisors manage the
accounts of clients other than the Partnership including other commodity pools
and intend to manage such accounts in the future. Certain Advisors and their
principals or affiliates also act as commodity pool operators with respect to
other commodity pools. Campbell acts as advisor to the following pools operated
by the General Partner: Smith Barney Diversified Futures Fund L.P., Smith Barney
Diversified Futures Fund L.P. II, Smith Barney Global Markets Futures Fund L.P.,
SB/Michigan Futures Fund L.P., Smith Barney Potomac Futures Fund L.P. and Smith
Barney Campbell Financial, Metal & Energy Fund PLC and other offshore funds.
Rabar acts as advisor to the following pools operated by the General Partner:
Smith Barney Diversified Futures Fund L.P., F-1000 Futures Fund L.P. Michigan
Series I and II, Smith Barney Principal Plus Futures Fund L.P., F-1000 Futures
Fund L.P. Series IX and certain offshore funds. Eagle and Eckhardt do not act as
advisors to any other pools operated by the General Partner. In addition, the
Advisors and their principals and affiliates may trade for their own accounts.
The records of any such trading will not be available for inspection by limited
partners. It is possible that as a result of a neutral allocation system,
testing a new trading system, trading proprietary accounts more aggressively, or
other actions not constituting a violation of fiduciary duties, the Advisors or
their principals or affiliates may take positions in their proprietary accounts
that are opposite or ahead of a client (including the Partnership). As a result,
positions in proprietary accounts of the Advisors and their principals or
affiliates may be taken which are in competition with positions taken for the
Partnership. In addition, principals of certain Advisors devote time to other
business activities. All commodity futures and options positions held by all
accounts owned or controlled directly or indirectly by each of the Advisors and
its principals, respectively, including the portion of the Partnership's account
managed by that Advisor will be aggregated for purposes of determining
compliance with speculative position limits. As a result, the Partnership might
not be able to enter into or maintain certain positions if such positions, when
added to the positions held by such other accounts, would exceed the applicable
limits. If trading orders must be revised as a result of the application of
speculative position limits, an Advisor will modify such orders in a manner
which will not substantially disproportionately affect the Partnership as
compared with that Advisor's other accounts. In addition, the Advisors will not
knowingly or deliberately use trading strategies for the Partnership which are
inferior to those used for any other client or account nor favor any other
account over the Partnership in any way, although certain Advisors may offer
different trading programs and various factors affecting different types and
sizes of accounts may require the utilization of different strategies or methods
for such accounts. See "Commodity Markets -- Regulation". See also "Risk
Factors -- Commodity Trading Risks -- Possible Effects of Competition" and "The
Advisors -- Management Agreements" with respect to other potential conflicts of
interest arising in connection with the operations and activities of the
Advisors.
 
     OTHER ACTIVITIES OF SSB.  SSB maintains a commodity research department
which makes trading recommendations on a daily basis. The trading records of
such recommendations will not be made available to limited partners. From such
trading recommendations, transactions may be made which are similar or opposed
to transactions being made for the Partnership. SSB will not provide advisory
services to the Partnership.
 
     OTHER COMMODITY POOLS.  The General Partner and its predecessors over the
last five years have sponsored and established over 45 commodity pools and may
sponsor or establish other commodity pools
                                       26
<PAGE>   33
 
which may compete with the Partnership. See "The General Partner -- Other Pools
Operated by the General Partner". Neither the General Partner nor SSB will
knowingly or deliberately favor any such pools over the Partnership in their
dealings on behalf of such other pools. In addition, the General Partner may in
the future serve as an advisor or co-advisor to such other commodity pools or to
the Partnership. If the General Partner were to serve as a trading advisor to
the Partnership, there would be a conflict between its duty to determine its
management fees in the best interests of the Partnership and its interest in
maximizing fees paid to itself (subject to limitations imposed by the NASAA
Guidelines as set forth in the Partnership Agreement). Of course, the General
Partner is bound by its fiduciary duties as a general partner to resolve this
potential conflict in the best interest of the limited partners.
 
     GENERAL PARTNER'S CHOICE OF ADVISORS.  The Limited Partnership Agreement
empowers the General Partner to make trading decisions for the Partnership
itself or to delegate some or all of its authority to make such decisions to one
or more trading advisors. The Limited Partnership Agreement empowers the General
Partner on behalf of the Partnership to enter into, renew, terminate or
renegotiate a management agreement with such advisors pursuant to which the
Partnership will be obligated to pay management and/or incentive fees to the
advisors. The Partnership has entered into the Management Agreements described
herein with Campbell, Eagle, Eckhardt and Rabar as advisors. However, the
General Partner may have a conflict of interest between its obligations to act
in the best interests of the limited partners and its own interest in receiving
fees from the Partnership in the future. The General Partner believes that the
fees charged to the Partnership are fair to the Partnership and acknowledges its
fiduciary duty to negotiate future contracts including contracts with itself in
the best interests of the limited partners.
 
                                TRADING POLICIES
 
     The objective of the Partnership is to preserve and to achieve substantial
appreciation of its assets through speculative trading in commodity interests
including futures contracts, options and forward contracts. Commodity futures
and options trading may be conducted on all major United States and, to a lesser
extent, on certain foreign commodities exchanges. The Partnership does not
intend to act as a dealer. The Partnership will attempt to accomplish its
trading objectives by following the trading policies set forth below:
 
          1. Partnership funds will be invested only in commodity contracts
     which are traded in sufficient volume to permit, in the opinion of the
     Advisor trading that contract, ease of taking and liquidating positions.
 
          2. No Advisor will initiate additional positions in any commodity if
     such additional positions would result in aggregate positions for all
     commodities requiring as margin more than 66 2/3% of the Partnership's
     assets allocated to the Advisor. For the purpose of this limitation,
     forward contracts in currencies will be deemed to have the same margin
     requirements as the same or similar futures contracts traded on the Chicago
     Mercantile Exchange.
 
          3. The Partnership will not employ the trading technique commonly
     known as "pyramiding", in which the speculator uses unrealized profits on
     existing positions as margin for the purchase or sale of additional
     positions in the same or related commodities.
 
          4. The Partnership will not utilize borrowings except short-term
     borrowings if the Partnership takes delivery of any cash commodities,
     provided that neither the deposit of margin with a commodity broker nor
     obtaining and drawing on a line of credit with respect to forward contracts
     shall constitute borrowing.
 
          5. From time to time trading strategies such as spreads or straddles
     may be employed on behalf of the Partnership. The term "spread" or
     "straddle" describes a commodity trading strategy involving the
     simultaneous buying and selling of contracts on the same commodity but
     involving different delivery dates or markets and in which the trader
     expects to earn a profit from a widening or narrowing of the difference
     between the prices of the two contracts.
 
          6. The Partnership will not permit the churning of its commodity
     trading accounts.
 
     The trading policies described above (except the Partnership's basic
investment policies, Nos. 3, 4 and 6) may be altered by the General Partner
without approval by the limited partners if it is determined that such change is
in the best interests of the Partnership (based upon factors including but not
limited to the
                                       27

performance of various futures markets, advisors and the risks associated with
modified trading policies). The limited partners will be notified by mail within
seven business days of any material changes in trading policies. The limited
partners may also change the trading policies of the Partnership in accordance
with the Partnership Agreement, as set forth in Section 17(c) thereof, set forth
in Exhibit A hereto. Such procedures are also summarized under "The Limited
Partnership Agreement -- Amendments; Meetings."
 
                              THE GENERAL PARTNER
 
BACKGROUND
 
     The Partnership's General Partner and commodity pool operator is Smith
Barney Futures Management Inc. which is a Delaware corporation that is wholly
owned by Salomon Smith Barney Holdings, Inc., which is the sole owner of SSB.
Salomon Smith Barney Holdings, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup
Inc., a publicly-held company whose shares are listed on the New York Stock
Exchange and is engaged in various financial service and other businesses. On

name to Citigroup Inc. Citigroup Inc. and its affiliates are subject to
regulation under federal banking and certain other laws and regulations. The
General Partner is the successor to the business of Smith Barney Futures
Partners, Inc. (which was the surviving entity of the merger on August 2, 1993
of three commodity pool operators: Smith Barney Futures Partners, Inc., Lehman
Brothers Capital Management Corp. and Hutton Commodity Management Inc.). The
General Partner is a commodity pool operator and a member of the NFA under the
registration and memberships of Smith Barney Futures Partners, Inc, which became
registered with the CFTC as a commodity pool operator and a member of the NFA on
September 2, 1986. The principal offices of the General Partner are located at
390 Greenwich Street - 1st floor, New York, New York 10013; telephone (212)

     There have been no administrative, civil or criminal actions pending, on
appeal or concluded against the General Partner or any of its individual
principals within the past five years that are material to a decision whether to
invest in the Partnership.
 
     The General Partner employs a team of approximately 40 professionals whose
primary emphasis is on attempting to maintain quality control among the funds'
advisors. A full time staff of due diligence professionals use state-of-the-art
technology and on-site evaluations to monitor new and existing futures money
managers. The accounting and operations staff provide processing of trading
activity and reporting to limited partners and regulatory authorities. The
General Partner also includes staff involved in marketing and sales support.
 
     The Limited Partnership Agreement requires the General Partner to maintain
a cash investment in the Partnership equal to the greater of (a) 1% of the
aggregate capital contributions of all partners or (b) $25,000. The General
Partner will share in profits and losses of the Partnership in proportion to its
share of Partnership capital on the same basis as the limited partners. The
General Partner's capital contribution to the Partnership will be treated as
Units of General Partnership Interest for the purpose of Partnership accounting.
Units of General Partnership Interest are equal in all respects to Units held by
limited partners, except as to liability and the ability to vote. See "The
Limited Partnership Agreement -- Sharing of Profits and Losses" and "Amendments;
Meetings." The Limited Partnership Agreement also requires that the General
Partner maintain an overall net worth (including capital contributions) equal to
the greater of (a) 5% of the total contributions (including contributions by the
General Partner) to all limited partnerships to which it is a general partner
(including the Partnership) plus (prior to the termination of the Public
Offering) 5% of the Units being offered for sale in the Partnership or (b)
$50,000.

     David J. Vogel, the initial Limited Partner of the Partnership, acquired
one Unit of limited partnership interest for $1,000 to permit the Partnership to
be organized as a limited partnership under the laws of the State of New York.
Mr. Vogel may redeem his Unit for $1,000 and withdraw from the Partnership at
the termination of the Initial Offering Period if it is successful. No other
principal of the General Partner owns any Units, although they are not precluded
from purchasing such Units.
 
     As of August 31, 1998, the General Partner acts as general partner to
twenty-two other active commodity pools that are currently trading. The
performance of all of these pools for the past five years and year-to-date
period is set forth under "Other Pools Operated by the General Partner" below.
 
     The statement of financial condition of the General Partner at December 31,
1997 and the report of the independent accountants thereon is set forth
beginning on page 111.
 
THE PARTNERSHIP -- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
     The Partnership was formed on June 15, 1998 under the laws of the State of
New York. To date, its only transactions have been the preparation of this
offering and capital contributions of $1,000 by the General Partner and $1,000
by one limited partner. The Partnership has not begun trading operations.
Therefore, the Financial Statement of the Partnership included in the prospectus
under "Financial Statements" is not indicative of future operating results. Such
results will depend in large part upon the commodity markets in general, the
performance of the Advisors for the Partnership, the amount of redemptions and
changes in interest rates. Because of the nature of these factors and their
interaction, it is impossible to predict future operating results, financial
position and cash flow.
 
     Due to the highly leveraged nature of commodities trading, small price
movements may result in substantial losses. See "Risk Factors" and "Commodity
Markets." In order to provide some protection against a material decline in
liquidity caused by trading losses, the Partnership adheres to the trading
policies set forth under "Trading Policies."
 
RISK OF COMPUTER SYSTEM FAILURES (YEAR 2000 ISSUE)
 
     The Year 2000 issue is the result of existing computers in many businesses
using only two digits to identify a year in the date field. These computers and
programs, often referred to as "information technology," were designed and
developed without considering the impact of the upcoming change in the century.
If not corrected, many computer applications could fail or create erroneous
results at the Year 2000. Such systems and processes are dependent on correctly
identifying dates in the next century.
 
     The General Partner administers the business of the Partnership through
various systems and processes maintained by Salomon Smith Barney Holdings Inc.
and Salomon Smith Barney Inc. In addition, the operation of the Partnership is
dependent on the capability of the Partnership's Advisors, the brokers and
exchanges through which the Advisors trade, and other third parties to prepare
adequately for the Year 2000 impact on their systems and processes. The
Partnership itself has no systems or information technology applications
relevant to its operations.
 
     The General Partner, SSB, SSBH, and their parent organization Citigroup
Inc. have undertaken a comprehensive, firm-wide evaluation of both internal and
external systems (systems related to third parties) to determine the specific
modifications needed to prepare for the Year 2000. The combined Year 2000
program in SSB is expected to cost approximately $140 million over the four
years from 1996 through 1999, and involve over 450 people at the peak staffing
level. The plan calls for all systems and components to be Year 2000 compliant
by December 1998, and Year 2000 certified by March 1999. At this time, over 75%
of SSBH systems have completed the correction process and are Year 2000
compliant. Over 40% of the systems have completed certification testing. The
Year 2000 project at SSBH remains on schedule.
 
     The systems and components supporting the General Partner's business that
require remediation have been identified and modifications have been made to
bring them into Year 2000 compliance. Testing of these
 
                                       30
<PAGE>   37
 
systems is planned for the fourth quarter of 1998. Final testing and
certification are expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of
1999.
 
     This expenditure and the General Partner's resources dedicated to the
preparation for Year 2000 do not and will not have a material impact on the
operation or results of the Partnership.
 
     The General Partner has requested and received statements from the
Partnership's Advisors that they have undertaken their own evaluation and
remediation plans to identify any of their computer systems that are Year 2000
vulnerable. Each of the Partnership's Advisors has confirmed they are taking
immediate actions to remedy those systems as necessary. The General Partner will
continue to inquire into and to confirm the Advisors' readiness for Year 2000.
 
     The most likely and most significant risk to the Partnership associated
with the lack of Year 2000 readiness is the failure of outside organizations,
including the commodities exchanges, clearing organizations, or regulators with
which the Partnership interacts to resolve their Year 2000 issues in a timely
manner. This risk could involve the inability to determine the value of the
Partnership at some point in time and would make effecting purchases or
redemptions of Units in the Partnership infeasible until such valuation was
determinable.
 
     SSB has successfully participated in industry-wide testing including: The
Streetwide Beta Testing organized by the Securities Industry Association (SIA),
a government securities clearing test with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York,
The Depository Trust Company, and The Bank of New York, and Futures Industry
Association participants test. The firm will also participate in the streetwide
testing to be conducted starting in March 1999.
 
     It is possible that problems may occur that would require some time to
repair. Moreover, it is possible that problems will occur outside SSBH for which
SSBH could experience a secondary effect. Consequently, SSBH is preparing
comprehensive, written contingency plans so that alternative procedures and a
framework for critical decisions are defined before any potential crisis occurs.
 
     The goal of Year 2000 contingency planning is a set of alternate procedures
to be used in the event of a critical system failure or a failure by a supplier
or counterparty. Planning work is expected to be complete by December 1998, and
testing of alternative procedures will be conducted in the first half of 1999.
 
THIS POOL HAS NOT COMMENCED TRADING AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY PERFORMANCE HISTORY.
 
OTHER POOLS OPERATED BY THE GENERAL PARTNER
 
     The General Partner offers other pools whose performance may differ from
the Partnership's. Differences are due to combinations of different trading
advisors (and programs traded) as well as different partnership or
organizational structures. Tables 1, 2 and 3 below set forth the performance of
the other pools which have been operated by the General Partner during the past
five years. Table 1 sets forth the performance of commodity pools currently
operated by the General Partner for the period January 1993 through August 31,
1998. Table 2 sets forth the performance of commodity pools which were
previously operated by the General Partner for the period January 1993 through
August 31, 1998 and which have ceased trading operations as of August 31, 1998.
Table 3 sets forth the performance of commodity pools previously operated by the
General Partner for the period January 1993 through August 31, 1998 for which
the General Partner no longer acts as the pool operator as of August 31, 1998.
 
     The General Partner performs the same administrative duties for each of the
pools that it operates. Each of the funds has as its purpose to profit by
speculation in commodity interests. As of August 31, 1998, each fund operated by
the General Partner had a net asset value in excess of its initial offering
amount except Smith Barney Newport Futures Fund L.P. which terminated trading in
October 1998.

             POOLS OPERATED BY SMITH BARNEY FUTURES MANAGEMENT INC.
 
     (a) "Draw-Down" is defined as losses experienced by a pool over a specified
period of time.
 
     (b) "Largest Monthly Draw-Down" is the largest monthly loss experienced by
the pool in any calendar month expressed as a percentage of the total equity in
the pool and includes the month and year of such draw-down.
 
     (c) "Largest Peak-to-Valley Draw-Down" is the greatest cumulative
percentage decline in month end net asset value (regardless of whether it is
continuous) due to losses sustained by the pool during a period in which the
initial month-end net asset value of such draw-down is not equaled or exceeded
by any subsequent month's ending net asset value. The months and year(s) of such
decline from the initial month-end net asset value to the lowest month-end net
asset value are indicated. In the case where the pool is in a current draw-
down, or was in a current draw-down at the termination or transfer date, the
month of the lowest net asset value of such draw-down is disclosed followed by
an asterisk (*).
 
     For purposes of the Largest Peak-to-Valley Draw-Down calculation, any
peak-to-valley draw-down which began prior to the beginning of the five most
recent calendar year period is deemed to have occurred during such five calendar
year period.
 
     (d) "Annual (Year to Date) Rate of Return" is calculated by compounding the
Monthly ROR (as described below) over the months in a given year, i.e., each
Monthly ROR, in hundredths, is added to one(1) and the result is multiplied by
the subsequent Monthly ROR similarly expressed. One is then subtracted from the
product and the result is multiplied by one hundred (100).
 
     Monthly rate of return ("Monthly ROR") is calculated by dividing each
month's net performance by the corresponding beginning net asset value adjusted
for time-weighted additions or time-weighted withdrawals.

                                  THE ADVISORS
 
     The General Partner has selected Campbell, Eagle, Eckhardt and Rabar as the
Partnership's initial trading advisors. Each Advisor will manage the
Partnership's assets in accordance with the trading policies set forth above.
The Partnership's assets will be initially allocated in the following
approximate percentages: Campbell -- 35%; Eagle -- 20%; Eckhardt -- 10%; and
Rabar -- 35%. The General Partner, consistent with its fiduciary duties to the
limited partners, may modify these allocations at any time in its sole
discretion. Future allocations to the Advisors or additional advisors will be
made at the discretion of the General Partner. In selecting Advisors for the
Partnership, the General Partner considered past performance, trading style,
volatility of markets traded and fee requirements. Each Advisor had (i) a
minimum of five years of performance and (ii) a trading style that blended well
with the other Advisors. Each of the Advisors will be responsible only for
trading the assets of the Partnership allocated to it. Each Advisor will trade
independently of the others.
 
     Based on the historical trading patterns of the programs initially selected
to trade the Partnership's assets, the overall portfolio will have approximately
77% of its trading concentrated in the global financial futures markets,
including contracts on U.S. and international interest rates and global stock
market indices, and foreign currency contracts and forwards. Initially,
approximately 23% of the Partnership's trading will be in other commodity
futures markets including energy, metals and agricultural products. This
portfolio concentration may change in the future as allocations to the existing
advisors change, advisors are removed or change strategies and new advisors are
added to the Partnership.
 
     The contracts traded in the Advisors' programs as of August 31, 1998 are:

     None of the Advisors or their principals currently own any Units, although
they are not precluded from purchasing Units.
 
     Except as noted below, there has been no administrative, civil or criminal
action during the preceding five years or ever, either threatened, pending or
completed against any Advisor or its principals that would be material to an
investor's decision whether or not to purchase Units.
 
     The following descriptions include background information, information
concerning each Advisor's trading strategy and the performance record for each
Advisor. Investors should note that the summaries of trading strategies were
prepared by each Advisor and may emphasize different aspects of each Advisor's
trading. Consequently, comparison of the strategies may prove difficult or
impossible. In any event, each Advisor's trading strategies are proprietary and
confidential, and the summaries are therefore general in nature.
 
     Table A-1 and, where applicable, Table A-2, for each Advisor include the
performance of each program or portfolio that the Advisor will initially use to
trade the Partnership's account. In the case of Campbell, Table A-1 (Financial,
Metal & Energy Small Portfolio) presents the actual performance of accounts
traded pursuant to that method for the period covered by the table. In the case
of Eagle, Table A-1 (Eagle-Global System) and Table A-2 (Eagle-FX System)
present the actual performance of accounts traded pursuant to those systems for
the periods covered by the tables. In the case of Eckhardt, Table A-1 (Global
Financial Program) presents the actual performance of accounts traded pursuant
to that method for the period covered by the table. In the case of Rabar, Table
A-1 (Diversified Program) presents the actual performance of accounts traded
pursuant to that method for the period covered by the table.
 
     Table B-1 and, where applicable, Table B-2 for each Advisor were prepared
by the General Partner and set forth the results of each program or portfolio
that the Advisor will use for the Partnership's account for the period January
1993 (October 1995 in the case of Eagle's Global System and November 1997 in the
case of Eckhardt's Global Financial Program) through August 31, 1998, adjusted
for all Advisors to take into account the brokerage, management and incentive
fees and other expenses (including expenses of the initial offering) to be paid
by the Partnership and interest to be earned by the Partnership. Partnership
interest was estimated using historical 30-day Treasury bill rates of the time
period presented on Table B-1 and B-2. Such rates may be higher than current
30-day Treasury bill rates that will be used to calculate Partnership interest
income. The application of historical rates may compare more closely to the
Advisors' interest income which was most likely earned at the then prevailing
interest rates of a particular time period.

     Table C was prepared by the General Partner and sets forth both a composite
of actual monthly rates of return as presented on each of the Advisors' programs
traded for the Partnership and a hypothetical composite adjusted performance
record of the programs using the pro forma rates of return derived in Tables B-1
and B-2 for the period November 1997 through August 31, 1998 (the common period
of time in which all programs or portfolios were trading). Table C appears at
page 119.
 
     As of August 31, 1998, the aggregate funds under management by the Advisors
were $2.2 billion (excluding notional funds) and $2.4 billion (including
notional funds).

TRADING STRATEGY
 
     Campbell currently offers seven distinct trading portfolios, including the
Global Diversified Large Portfolio, the Global Diversified Small Portfolio, the
Financial, Metal & Energy Large Portfolio ("FME Large"), the Financial, Metal &
Energy Small Portfolio ("FME Small"), the Foreign Exchange Portfolio, the
Interest Rates, Stock Indices, and Commodities Portfolio, and the Ark Portfolio.
The General Partner and Campbell have agreed that Campbell will initially trade
on behalf of the Partnership utilizing only the FME Small Portfolio. When
Campbell's allocation of the Partnership's assets exceeds $10 million, Campbell
will trade pursuant to the FME Large Portfolio on behalf of the Partnership. The
Financial, Metal and Energy portfolios trade contracts in the following market
sectors: interest rates, stock indices, currencies and currency cross rates,
energy and metals.
 
     Campbell's trading models are designed to detect and exploit medium-term to
long-term price trends, and also to apply proven risk management and portfolio
management principles. The concepts on which the trading models are based were
originally developed in 1976 and 1980, but since that time they have continued
to evolve as a result of Campbell's continuing commitment to creative research.
 
     Campbell believes that utilizing multiple trading models for the
Partnership provides diversification, and is most beneficial when numerous
contracts of each commodity are traded. Five trend-following trading models and
a sixth model that sometimes trades with the trend and sometimes trades against
the trend are presently used. The five trend-following models are each utilized
for nearly all markets traded by Campbell for the Partnership. The sixth model
that includes some contra-trend techniques is utilized only for the S&P 500
market (and the soybean market, which will not be traded in the Partnership's
portfolio). More or fewer trading models may be used in the future. The trading
models are primarily different in their sensitivity to price action. One model,
for example, may establish a position relatively quickly and risk a
comparatively small amount of capital, while another model may establish a
position less quickly and risk more capital. The models may also vary as to the
time or price at which the transactions determined by them are signaled. For
example, one model may establish a position at any time during the day after a
price level has been reached, while another may establish a position only at the
opening or closing of the market on the same day. It is possible that one model
may establish a long position while another model establishes a short position
in the same market. Since it is unlikely that both positions would prove
profitable, in retrospect one or both trades will appear to have been
unnecessary. It is Campbell's policy to follow trades signaled by each model
independent of what the other models may be recommending.
 
     Over the course of a long-term trend, there are times when the risk of the
market does not appear to be justified by the potential reward. In such
circumstances some of Campbell's trading models may exit the position prior to
the end of the trend. While there is some risk to this method (for example,
being out of the market during a significant portion of a trend), Campbell's
research indicates that this is well compensated for by decreased volatility of
performance.
 
                                       42
<PAGE>   49
 
     Over the past several years, Campbell's research has resulted in several
model changes and portfolio enhancements that have increased the quality of
returns (i.e., decreased variability or volatility of performance, while still
maintaining attractive returns).
 
     Campbell expects to develop additional trading models and to modify models
currently in use and to employ such models for the Partnership. The models
currently in use by Campbell may be eliminated from use if Campbell ever
believes such action is warranted.
 
     While Campbell normally follows a disciplined systematic approach to
trading, on occasion it may override the signals generated by the models. Such
modifications may not necessarily be beneficial to the results achieved.
 
     Campbell applies a portfolio management strategy to measure and manage
overall portfolio risk. This strategy includes portfolio structure, balance,
capital allocation, and risk limitation. One objective of portfolio management
is to determine periods of relatively high and low portfolio risk, and when such
points are reached, Campbell may reduce or increase position size accordingly.
It is possible, however, that during periods of reduction in position size the
return that would have been realized had the account been fully invested would
be reduced.
 
     Campbell may, from time to time, add or delete contracts from the
Partnership's portfolio, or increase or decrease the total number of contracts
held, based on increases or decreases in the assets in an account, changes in
market conditions, perceived changes in portfolio-wide risk factors, or other
factors that Campbell deems relevant.
 
FINANCIAL, METAL & ENERGY PORTFOLIOS
 
     Currently, two versions of the Financial Metal & Energy Portfolio are
offered. FME Small trades in foreign currencies, precious and base metals,
energy products, stock market indices and interest rates. FME Large is
appropriate for accounts greater than $10 million. It is the same as FME Small
but adds certain contracts that trade in the forward foreign currency markets
which do not have futures equivalents. Prior to February 1995, all Financial,
Metal & Energy accounts were traded together in the FME Large Portfolio. The FME
Small Portfolio began in February 1995, when accounts smaller than $10 million
were transferred from the FME Large to the FME Small Portfolio. The data in the
composite table does not reflect the performance of any one account. An
individual account may have realized more or less favorable results than the
composite indicates.

                                    CAMPBELL
 
                        NOTES TO TABLES A-1, A-2 AND A-3
 
     For the Global Diversified Small Portfolio, the Diversified Portfolio, the
Financial, Metal and Energy Small Portfolio, the Ark Portfolio and the Foreign
Exchange Portfolio, Campbell has adopted the "Fully Funded Subset" method of
computing rate of return and performance disclosure, referred to as the "Fully
Funded Subset" method, pursuant to an Advisory (the "Fully Funded Subset
Advisory") published by the CFTC. The Fully Funded Subset refers to that subset
of accounts included in the applicable composite which is funded entirely by
actual funds (as defined in the Advisory).
 
     To qualify for the use of the Fully Funded Subset method, the Fully Funded
Subset Advisory requires that certain computations be made in order to arrive at
the Fully Funded Subset and that the accounts for which performance is so
reported meet two tests which are designed to provide assurance that the Fully
Funded Subset and the resultant rates of return are representative of the
trading program. Campbell has performed these tests for periods subsequent to
June 30, 1993 for the Diversified Portfolio and Foreign Exchange Portfolio. The
same calculations have been performed for the Financial, Metal and Energy Small
Portfolio, the Ark Portfolio and the Global Diversified Small Portfolio which
commenced trading in February 1995, September 1996 and June 1997, respectively.
However, for Portfolios trading prior to the aforementioned dates, due to cost
considerations, the Fully Funded Subset Method has not been used. Instead, the
rates of return reported are based on a computation which uses the Nominal
Account Sizes of all of the accounts included in composites calculated in
accordance with the Only Accounts Traded Method ("OAT") as described in Note
(d). Campbell believes that this method yields substantially the same rates of
return as would the Fully-Funded Subset Method.
 
     (a) "Draw-Down" is defined as losses experienced by an account over a
specified period of time.
 
     (b) "Largest Monthly Draw-Down" is the largest monthly loss experienced by
the portfolio on a composite basis in any calendar month expressed as a
percentage of the total equity in the portfolio and includes the month and year
of such draw-down. A small number of accounts in the portfolio composites have
experienced monthly drawdowns which are materially larger than the largest
composite monthly drawdown. These variances result from such factors as small
account size (i.e., accounts with net assets of less than the $500,000
prescribed portfolio minimum, which therefore trade fewer contracts than the
standard portfolio), intra-month account opening or closing, significant
intra-month additions or withdrawals, trading commissions in excess of the
stated average and investment restrictions imposed by the client.
 
     (c) "Largest Peak-to-Valley Draw-Down" is the largest cumulative loss
experienced by the portfolio on a composite basis in any consecutive monthly
period on a compounded basis and includes the time frame of such drawdown. A
small number of accounts in the portfolio composites have experienced
peak-to-valley drawdowns which are materially larger than the largest composite
peak-to-valley drawdown. These variances result from such factors as small
account size (i.e., accounts with net assets of less than the $500,000
prescribed portfolio minimum, which therefore trade fewer contracts than the
standard portfolio), intra-month account opening or closing, significant
intra-month additions or withdrawals, trading commissions in excess of the
stated average and investment restrictions imposed by the client. In the case
where a trading program is in a current draw-down or was in a drawn-down when it
closed, the month of the lowest net asset value of such draw-down is disclosed
followed by an asterisk(*).
 
     For purposes of the Largest Peak-to-Valley Draw-Down calculation, any
draw-down which began prior to the beginning of the five most recent calendar
year period is deemed to have occurred during such five calendar year period.
 
     (d) "Annual (or Period) Rate of Return" is calculated by compounding the
Monthly ROR (as described below) over the months in a given year, i.e., each
Monthly ROR, in hundredths, is added to one (1) and the result is multiplied by
the subsequent Monthly ROR similarly expressed. One is then subtracted from the
product and the result is multiplied by one hundred (100). The Compound Average
Annual Rate of Return is similarly calculated except that before subtracting one
(1) from the product, the product is
 
                                       47
<PAGE>   54
 
exponentially changed by the factor of one (1) divided by the number of years in
the performance summary and then one (1) is subtracted. The Compound Average
Annual Rate of Return appears in Table A-1 and Table A-2.
 
     Monthly Rate of Return (Monthly ROR) for the Global Diversified Large
Portfolio, the Financial, Metal & Energy Large Portfolio, the Interest Rate,
Stock Indices and Commodities Portfolio and the Global Financial Portfolio is
calculated by dividing the net profit or loss by the assets at the beginning of
such period. Additions and withdrawals occurring during the period are included
as an addition to or deduction from beginning net assets in the calculations of
Monthly ROR, except for accounts which close on the last day of a period in
which case the withdrawal is not subtracted from beginning net assets for
purposes of this calculation. Beginning in January 1987, Monthly ROR is
calculated using the OAT method of computation. This computation method is one
of the methods approved by the CFTC to reduce the distortion caused by
significant additions or withdrawals of capital during a month. The records of
many of the accounts in the tables prior to 1987 do not document the exact day
within a month that accounts were opened or closed. Accordingly, there is
insufficient data to calculate Monthly ROR during such periods using the OAT
method. Campbell & Company has no reason to believe that the pre-1987 annual
rates of return would be materially different if the OAT method were used to
calculate such returns. The OAT method excludes from the calculation of rate of
return those accounts which had material intra-month additions or withdrawals
and accounts which were open for only part of the month. In this way, the
composite rate of return is based on only those accounts whose Monthly ROR is
not distorted by intra-month changes.
 
     In this Monthly ROR calculation, accounts are excluded from both net
performance and beginning equity if their inclusion would materially distort the
Monthly ROR. The excluded accounts include (1) accounts for which there has been
a material addition or withdrawal during the month, (2) accounts which were open
for only part of the month or (3) accounts which had no open positions during
the month due to the intention of permanently closing the account. Such accounts
were not charged with material nonrecurring costs during the month.
 
     Monthly ROR for each month subsequent to June 1993 (Diversified Portfolio
and Foreign Exchange Portfolio) and January 1995 (Financial, Metal and Energy
Small Portfolio) is calculated by dividing net performance of the Fully Funded
Subset by the beginning equity of the Fully Funded Subset, except in periods of
significant additions to or withdrawals from the accounts which are in the Fully
Funded Subset. In such instances, the Fully Funded Subset is adjusted to exclude
accounts with significant additions or withdrawals which would materially
distort the rate of return calculated pursuant to the Fully Funded Subset
method.
 
ADDITIONAL FOOTNOTE FOR THE FINANCIAL, METALS & ENERGY LARGE PORTFOLIO AND THE
FINANCIAL, METALS & ENERGY SMALL PORTFOLIO
 
     Currently, two versions of the Financial, Metals & Energy Portfolio are
offered: the Financial, Metals & Energy Large Portfolio ("FME Large"), and the
Financial, Metals & Energy Small Portfolio ("FME Small"). The FME Large
Portfolio is appropriate for accounts greater than $10 million in size. Accounts
in this portfolio trade certain contracts in the cash markets which do not have
futures equivalents. Prior to February 1995, all Financial, Metals & Energy
accounts were traded together in the FME Large Portfolio. The FME Small
Portfolio began in February 1995, when accounts smaller than $10 million were
transferred from the FME Large to the FME Small Portfolio.
 
ADDITIONAL FOOTNOTE FOR THE GLOBAL DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO AND DIVERSIFIED
PORTFOLIO
 
     As of February 1, 1995, all accounts in the Diversified Portfolio
transferred to the Global Diversified Portfolio. The Diversified Portfolio is no
longer offered as a trading program.
 
     Currently, two versions of the Global Diversified Portfolio are offered:
the Global Diversified Large Portfolio ("GD Large") and the Global Diversified
Small Portfolio ("GD Small"). The GD Large Portfolio is appropriate for accounts
greater than $10 million in size. Accounts in this portfolio trade certain
contracts in the cash markets which do not have futures equivalents. Prior to
June 1997, all Global Diversified accounts were traded in the GD Large
Portfolio. The GD Small Portfolio began in June 1997, when accounts smaller than
$10 million were transferred from the GD Large Portfolio to the GD Small
Portfolio.

TRADING APPROACH
 
SYSTEMATIC TRADING APPROACH
 
     Eagle offers advisory services pursuant to a systematic trading approach.
The approach is a computerized technical, trend-following approach which is
based upon the systematization of strict trading rules, money management
principles and volatility adjustment features. The systematic trading approach
is designed to participate in intermediate and long-term trends while avoiding
markets with excessive volatility. Decisions to initiate or liquidate positions
are dependent upon computer-generated signals which are based on mathematical
analysis of closing market prices and the incorporation of money management
principles and predetermined risk parameters. Volatility adjustment features are
designed to trigger profit-taking decisions and to avoid markets which exhibit
excessive volatility.
 
Eagle's systematic trading approach has served as a conceptual framework for the
development of its trading systems. The systems were developed with the use of
artificial intelligence techniques which were applied to simulate the operation
of diverse combinations of trading rules using up to 15 years of historical
market data (to the extent available). Once the systems are used in actual
trading, they are constantly monitored and the trading rules are reevaluated to
identify any need for refinements or modifications. The systems' trading rules
incorporate trend-following elements, money management principles, predetermined
risk parameters and volatility adjustment features. The systems are designed to
trade on a fully-invested basis in markets exhibiting orderly intermediate and
long-term trends, while avoiding markets characterized by excessive volatility
or sharp price corrections. Sharp price corrections or high volatility will
generally trigger a scale-down or even complete liquidation of positions.
 
TRADING PROGRAMS
 
Eagle offers three trading programs, all of which incorporate the trading
concepts embedded in its systematic trading approach. Eagle will initially trade
two programs on behalf of the Partnership. The Eagle-Global System will
initially be allocated two-thirds of the assets allocated to Eagle and the
Eagle-FX System will initially be allocated one-third of the assets. Markets and
instruments traded may change from time to time.
 
The Eagle System presently tracks and may trade up to 38 different futures and
forward markets trading on exchanges in the U.S. and abroad. The system covers a
wide variety of commodities, currencies and U.S. and global financial markets.
On April 1, 1995, the Eagle System added 8 global markets to those previously
traded, and recently, another global market and natural gas were added. Eagle
trades all major commodity futures sectors including U.S. and international
financial instruments, currencies, stock indices, agricultural and meat
products, energy products, and metals.
 
The Eagle-Global System is identical to the Eagle System except for the
exclusion of eight less liquid commodity markets (cocoa, coffee, cotton, soybean
meal, soybean oil, pork bellies, live cattle, and live hogs) from the 38 markets
that the Eagle System tracks and in which it may trade. The Eagle-Global System
commenced trading on August 1, 1995.
 
The Eagle-FX System presently tracks and may trade up to 17 different foreign
currencies including all the major foreign currencies. The system's trading is
executed by using forward contracts in the interbank foreign exchange markets.
The system's trading rules are similar to the ones used by the Eagle System,
with some modifications in view of the special nature of the currencies markets.

     Based on actual 1997 trading, the volume of trading by market sector for
the blended portfolio initially selected to be traded by Eagle would be:
 
<TABLE>

Foreign currencies.................................     40.0%
Interest rates.....................................     37.6%

Agricultural products..............................      8.7%
Energy complex.....................................      8.5%
Metals.............................................      4.6%
Total..............................................    100.0%
</TABLE>
 
     Eagle's Trading approach does not differ by commodity contract or sector.
All contracts and sectors use the same parameters and signal generator rules.
The weightings of contracts and sectors are dynamic and change constantly. No
predetermined or fixed weightings are used. The weightings depend on volatility
and opportunities in specific markets.
 
     Generally, when initiating a new account to trade pursuant to one of
Eagle's systems, a phase-in period will occur during which the account will
gradually become fully-invested as new signals are being generated by the
system. Eagle will not attempt to initiate positions for a new client similar to
the positions then held by existing clients unless, in Eagle's sole discretion
and judgment, Eagle believes that such positions can be initiated within the
same predetermined risk parameters which existed when the positions were
initiated for the existing clients. Accordingly, new accounts may experience
materially different performance from existing accounts until such time as they
become fully invested.

                        NOTES TO TABLES A-1, A-2 AND A-3
 
     In the preceding performance summary, Eagle has adopted a method of
computing rate of return and performance disclosure, referred to as the
"Fully-Funded Subset" method, pursuant to an Advisory (the "Fully Funded Subset
Advisory") published by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. The Fully
Funded Subset refers to that subset of accounts included in the applicable
composite which if funded entirely by actual funds (as defined in the Advisory).
 
     To qualify for use of the Fully-Funded Subset method, the Fully Funded
Subset Advisory requires that certain computations be made in order to arrive at
the Fully-Funded Subset and that the accounts for which performance is so
reported meets two tests which are designed to provide assurance that the
Fully-Funded Subset and the resultant rates of return are representative of the
trading program. Eagle has performed these tests.
 
     (a) "Draw-Down" is defined as losses experienced by a program over a
specified period of time.
 
     (b) "Largest Monthly Draw-Down" is the largest monthly loss experienced by
the program on a composite basis in any calendar month expressed as a percentage
of the total equity in the program and includes the month and year of such
draw-down.
 
     (c) "Largest Peak-to-Valley Draw-Down" is the greatest cumulative
percentage decline in month end net asset value (regardless of whether it is
continuous) due to losses sustained by the trading program during a period in
which the initial composite month-end net asset value of such draw-down is not
equaled or exceeded by a subsequent months composite ending net asset value. The
months and year(s) of such decline from the initial month end net asset value to
the lowest month-end net asset value are indicated. In the case where the
trading program is in a current draw-down, or was in a current draw-down when
the trading program closed, the month of the lowest net asset value of such
draw-down is disclosed followed by an asterisk(*).
 
     For purposes of the Largest Peak-to-Valley draw-down calculation, any
draw-down which began prior to the beginning of the five most recent calendar
year period is deemed to have occurred during such five calendar year period.
 
     (d) "Annual (or Period) Rate of Return" is calculated by compounding the
Monthly ROR (as described below) over the months in a given year, i.e., each
Monthly ROR, in hundredths, is added to one (1) and the result is multiplied by
the subsequent Monthly ROR similarly expressed. One is then subtracted from the
product and the result is multiplied by one hundred (100). The Compound Average
Annual Rate of Return is similarly calculated except that before subtracting one
(1) from the product, the product is exponentially changed by the factor of one
(1) divided by the number of years in the performance summary and then one (1)
is subtracted. The Compound Average Annual Rate of Return appears on Tables A-1
and A-2.
 
     Monthly rate of return ("Monthly ROR") for each month subsequent to January
1992, is calculated by dividing net performance of the Fully-Funded Subset by
the beginning equity of the Fully Funded Subset, except in periods of
significant additions or withdrawals to the accounts in the Fully-Funded Subset.
In such instances, the Fully Funded Subset is adjusted to exclude accounts with
significant additions or withdrawals which would materially distort the rate of
return pursuant to the Fully Funded Subset method.
 
     During the months of August and September 1995, the Eagle-Global Program
did not qualify for the use of the Fully-Funded Subset Method. The rates of
return based upon the accounts' actual account sizes were (14.29%) and 17.74%
for August 1995 and September 1995, respectively.

May 1992, became registered as a Commodity Trading Advisor ("CTA") and Commodity
Pool Operator ("CPO") and member of the National Futures Association ("NFA") in
June 1992. Eckhardt succeeded to the business formerly conducted by William
Eckhardt who was individually registered as a CTA and CPO and member of the NFA
from June 1991 until his registration was changed over to Eckhardt in June 1992.
 
     William Eckhardt is the President and sole shareholder (as trustee of his
revocable trust) of Eckhardt; John D. Fornengo is Vice President. The address
and telephone number of Eckhardt's business office is 53 West Jackson Boulevard,
Suite 1240, Chicago, IL 60604 and (312) 939-4712.
 
     Eckhardt employs C&D Commodities, Inc. to provide certain trading
administration and research support services, and certain trading records of
Eckhardt are maintained at its office located at 250 S. Wacker Drive, Suite 650,
Chicago, IL 60606.
 
     Except for investments in the Eckhardt Futures Limited Partnership and
Eckhardt Futures Limited Partnership -- Global Financial Program, two limited
partnerships for which Eckhardt acts as co-general partner, CTA and CPO,
Eckhardt and its principals do not currently trade for their own accounts
(although they may in the future). Records of such trading (other than to the
partnerships) are not open to client inspection due to their proprietary nature.
 
     There have been no material administrative, civil, or criminal proceedings
pending, on appeal or concluded against Eckhardt or its principals at any time.
 
PRINCIPALS
 
     William Eckhardt has traded futures professionally for over 23 years. He
received a B.A. in Mathematics from DePaul University in 1969 and an M.S. in
Mathematics from the University of Chicago in 1970. In 1974, after four years of
doctoral research at the University of Chicago in Mathematical Logic, he began
trading for his own account at the Mid America Commodity Exchange. Mr. Eckhardt
traded off-floor for his personal account from 1978 through July 1991. In July
1986, he began managing accounts for a small number of friends and business
associates and in July 1991, he began managing accounts as a registered CTA.
 
     In conjunction with his trading, over the past 20 years Mr. Eckhardt has
conducted extensive research into the nature of futures price action and risk
management. He has developed numerous technical trading systems. Along with
Richard Dennis, he co-developed certain trading systems and in 1984 and 1985,
co-taught such systems to a group of individuals that has become known as the
"Turtles".
 
     Mr. Eckhardt was a full member of the Chicago Board of Trade from 1983 to
1988 and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange ("CME") from 1979 to 1986 and held
other memberships at various other times. He currently holds a seat at the CME
Index and Option Market. From 1983 to 1991, Mr. Eckhardt was a partner of C&D
Commodities, which was formerly active as a futures commission merchant and
chiefly involved with clearing partner capital, futures research and trading
administration. In 1991, the partnership (and FCM) was terminated and C&D
Commodities, Inc. ("C&D, Inc.") was established to continue the futures research
and trading administration activities previously conducted by the partnership.
Mr. Eckhardt was an officer of C&D, Inc. until August 1997. C&D, Inc. is also
registered as a CTA; it has no accounts under management.
 
     John D. Fornengo, a 1980 honors graduate of Lake Forest College, Lake
Forest, Illinois, has traded futures for over 12 years. He has been
professionally involved with Mr. Eckhardt since the beginning of his trading
career in April 1986. In 1991, he became registered as a CTA and began managing
client accounts utilizing the technical indicators of Eckhardt's systems which
he modified with systematically larger position sizes.
 
     In January 1993, Mr. Fornengo began working with Eckhardt to assist Mr.
Eckhardt in the implementation and execution of Eckhardt's trading program. In
June 1995, Mr. Fornengo became Vice President of
                                       59

Eckhardt. From January 1989 through June 1995, Mr. Fornengo managed a
proprietary account for Mr. Eckhardt, the cash balance of which was invested in
Eckhardt Futures Limited Partnership in July 1995.
 
     Mr. Eckhardt is solely responsible for Eckhardt's systems development and
ongoing research. Mr. Eckhardt and Mr. Fornengo share the responsibility of
implementing and executing Eckhardt's trading programs and for any judgment or
discretion utilized for such implementation.
 
THE TRADING APPROACH
 
     The objective of Eckhardt is to achieve appreciation of its clients' assets
through speculative trading of commodity interests. Eckhardt primarily engaged
in trading futures contracts on U.S. exchanges and exchanges for physical
transactions ("EFPs") in currencies (see description below) until June 1992.
Beginning July 1992, Eckhardt also began trading contracts on the LIFFE and has
since added contracts on other non-U.S. exchanges. In addition, Eckhardt may
trade options on futures, forward contracts on commodities and currencies, cash
currencies, and may engage in transactions in physical commodities, including
EFPs (in addition to EFPs in currencies). The exact nature of Eckhardt's methods
are proprietary and confidential. The following description is, by necessity,
general and is not exhaustive.
 
     Eckhardt's trading approach is the evolutionary product of over 20 years of
intensive research on futures price action, risk management and trading system
development. Diverse systems are melded in accordance with the modern
mathematical theory of risk. The systems are technical in origin and
trend-following in thrust. They are not based on the analysis of fundamental
supply and demand factors.
 
     Eckhardt's approach is predominantly applied in an algorithmic or
mechanical manner. Occasionally, discretion and judgment may be used; such
discretion is nonetheless informed by investigations into historical price
action and is often employed for risk management purposes.
 
     Eckhardt believes that research is a crucial component of the trading
enterprise. Time and resources are devoted to it accordingly. The systems used
have undergone an evolutionary development, some for protracted periods. Many of
the current systems bear little resemblance to their prototypes. The systems are
subject to change if Eckhardt's methodological principles indicate that it is
warranted. Clients will not be informed with respect to such changes in
Eckhardt's approach. Additionally, as stated earlier, trading decisions may
require the exercise of judgment by Eckhardt. The decision not to trade certain
futures, not to make certain trades, or to reduce position sizes, may result at
times in missing price moves and profits of great magnitude, which other trading
advisors who are willing to trade such commodities, or trade larger positions in
such futures, may be able to capture. There is no assurance that the performance
of Eckhardt will result in profitable trading.
 
     The markets traded have been chosen for historical performance, and for
customary liquidity. From time to time Eckhardt may trade in less liquid
markets. There can be no assurance of liquidity.
 
     Eckhardt engages in exchanges for physical transactions ("EFPs"). An EFP is
a transaction permitted under the rules of many futures exchanges in which two
parties holding futures positions may close out their positions without making
an open, competitive trade on the exchange. Generally, the holder of a short
futures position buys the physical commodity, while the holder of a long futures
position sells the physical commodity. The prices at which such transactions are
executed are negotiated between the parties.
 
THE TRADING PROGRAMS
 
     Eckhardt currently offers three trading programs: The Standard Program, the
Higher Leveraged Program and the Global Financial Program. All three programs
are based on the same trading approach described below. Eckhardt will initially
trade its Global Financial Program on behalf of the Partnership. The programs
typically are not invested in all markets at all times. Eckhardt may add or
delete markets in the future.
 
THE STANDARD PROGRAM & THE HIGHER LEVERAGED PROGRAM
 
     Both programs trade the same portfolio of "Commodity Interests". The
programs differ only with respect to position sizes. The Higher Leveraged
Program trades larger position sizes, currently averaging approxi-
 
                                       60
<PAGE>   67
 
mately 20% larger than those of the Standard program (such percentage is subject
to change and certain individual positions, from time to time, may be up to 100%
larger). Therefore, due to the increased leverage, the Higher Leveraged Program
entails a greater degree of risk than the Standard Program.
 
     Eckhardt began managing accounts according to the Standard Program in
August 1991 and the Higher Leveraged Program in October 1991. For these
programs, Eckhardt primarily engaged in trading futures contracts on U.S.
exchanges and EFPs in currencies (see description under "The Trading Approach")
until June 1992. Beginning July 1992, Eckhardt also began trading contracts on
the LIFFE and has since expanded to other non-U.S. exchanges including the
MATIF, SIMEX, SFE, DTB, MEFF and IPE. Currently the market groups or contracts
traded by Eckhardt in the Standard and Higher Leveraged Programs include, but
are not limited to, U.S. and international interest rates, currencies and the
Dollar Index, the NIKKEI and S&P 500 stock indices, gold, silver and copper,
energy products, grains and the soybean complex, cotton, coffee and sugar.
 
THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL PROGRAM
 
     The Global Financial Program began trading in November 1997 and as of
August 31, 1998 has four accounts under management. The Global Financial Program
is based on the same trading approach and position sizing utilized for the
Standard Program. The difference between the two programs is in the markets
traded. The Global Financial Program trades a financial subset of the markets
currently traded for the Standard Program including, but not limited to, U.S.
and international interest rates, currencies and the Dollar Index, and the
NIKKEI and S&P 500 stock indices. Due to liquidity considerations, certain
financial futures that are traded in the Standard and Higher Leveraged Programs
(currently the Eurolira and the Euroswiss) are not included in the Global
Financial Program.
 
     Based on Eckhardt's current trading systems and market selection, the
Global Financial Program has the following approximate average market exposure:

     On any given day, the percentage exposure may vary substantially. Eckhardt
does not maintain positions in all markets at all times. In addition, at
Eckhardt's discretion, Eckhardt's trading systems and market selection are
subject to change with prior written notice to the General Partner.
 
     Eckhardt's trading approach does not currently differ by market sector or
commodity contract within the Global Financial Program, except, that as a result
primarily of liquidity considerations, positions taken in some contracts or
sectors are not as large as in other contracts or sectors. Eckhardt's decision
to add or drop a contract or sector depends largely on liquidity and trends of a
given market. The change in weighting of the various markets depends in part on
market volatility, liquidity and how often the systems indicate signals in a
given market.
 
PAST PERFORMANCE OF ECKHARDT TRADING COMPANY
 
     Table A-1 reflects the composite capsule performance results of all client
accounts traded according to the Global Financial Program for the period
November 1997 (inception of trading) through August 31, 1998.
 
     Table A-2 reflects the composite capsule performance results of all
accounts traded according to the Standard Program for the period August 1991
(inception of trading) through August 31, 1998.
 
     Table A-3 reflects the composite capsule performance results of the other
trading program directed by Eckhardt for the time periods indicated on the
table.
 
     As discussed earlier, the Global Financial Program employs the same
strategy as the Standard Program but with trading concentrated in financial
futures, stock indices and currencies contracts.
 
     Although not required, the monthly returns for the Standard Program are
presented in Table A-2 in order to indicate the longer history of Eckhardt's
trading methods and the potential volatility associated with this approach.
However, since the two programs trade in different portfolios of markets, it can
be expected that the performance results of the Global Financial Program would
differ from and may be more or less volatile than the performance results of the
Standard Program. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
 
     The tables present performance data on a composite basis. Material
differences exist among the accounts included in the composite tables. Such
differences may be due to several factors including, but not limited to, varying
advisory fees, brokerage commissions, miscellaneous expenses and the size of the
account. In addition, results may vary depending on such factors as the order in
which executed trades are allocated among the various accounts and/or the order
in which trades for the various accounts are entered, the date the account
started trading and the length of time the account was open. As a result of the
many variables, individual account performance may be more or less favorable
than the composite performance set forth in the tables. Eckhardt has modified
and will continue to modify its trading approach. The results shown in the
tables do not necessarily reflect the exact approach that will be used by
Eckhardt on behalf of future accounts. No representation is being made that any
account will, or is likely to, receive profits or incur losses similar to those
shown. PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS.

                            ECKHARDT TRADING COMPANY
 
                        NOTES TO TABLES A-1, A-2 AND A-3
 
     In the preceding performance summary, Eckhardt has adopted a method of
computing rate of return and performance disclosure, referred to as the
"Fully-Funded Subset" method, pursuant to an Advisory (the "Fully Funded Subset
Advisory") published by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. The Fully
Funded Subset refers to that subset of accounts included in the applicable
composite which is funded entirely by actual funds (as defined in the Advisory).
 
     To qualify for use of the Fully-Funded Subset method, the Fully-Funded
Subset Advisory requires that certain computations be made in order to arrive at
the Fully-Funded Subset and that the accounts for which performance is so
reported meets two tests which are designed to provide assurance that the
Fully-Funded Subset and the resultant rates of return are representative of the
trading program. If during the first 12 months of a program's performance
history the only accounts under management are those that include notional
equity, such accounts may be used to calculate the composite monthly returns
until a Fully-Funded account is brought under management. Eckhardt has performed
these tests for periods subsequent to July 1996 (Standard Program), August 1996
(Higher Leveraged Program) and February 1998 (Global Financial Program).
However, for periods prior to the aforementioned dates, the Fully-Funded Subset
method was not used for the Standard and Higher Leveraged Programs since
accounts included generally in those programs did not contain notional equity.
Accordingly, rates of return for those periods have been calculated in
accordance with the time-weighting method as described in note (d).
 
     For the Global Financial Program, which commenced trading in November 1997,
rates of return were calculated based upon the accounts' nominal account sizes
since there were no fully funded accounts traded in this program before March
1998. Nominal account size is the dollar amount that an advisor and its customer
have agreed will represent the trading level of the account regardless of the
amount of actual funds in the account.
 
     (a) "Draw-Down" is defined as losses experienced by a program over a
specified period of time.
 
     (b) "Largest Monthly Draw-Down" is the largest monthly loss experienced by
any account in the program in any calendar month expressed as a percentage of
the beginning equity or beginning net asset value in the account and includes
the month and year of such draw-down.
 
     (c) "Largest Peak-to-Valley Draw-Down" is the greatest cumulative
percentage decline in month-end net asset value of any individual account
(regardless of whether it is continuous) due to losses sustained by any account
in the trading program during a period in which the initial month-end net asset
value of such account has not been equaled or exceeded by a subsequent month-end
net asset value. The months and year(s) of such decline from the initial
month-end net asset value to the lowest month-end net asset value are indicated.
In the case where the trading program is in a current draw-down, or was in a
current draw-down when the trading program closed, the month of the lowest net
asset value of such draw-down is disclosed followed by an asterisk (*).
 
     For purposes of the Largest Peak-to-Valley draw-down calculation, any
draw-down which began prior to the beginning of the five most recent calendar
year period is deemed to have occurred during such five calendar year period.
 
     (d) "Annual (or Period) Rate of Return" is calculated by compounding the
Monthly ROR (as described below) over the months in a given year, i.e., each
Monthly ROR, in hundredths, is added to one (1) and the result is multiplied by
the subsequent Monthly ROR similarly expressed. One is then subtracted from the
product and the result is multiplied by one hundred (100). The Compound Average
Annual Rate of Return is similarly calculated except that before subtracting one
(1) from the product, the product is exponentially changed by the factor of one
(1) divided by the number of years in the performance summary and then one (1)
is subtracted. The Compound Average Annual Rate of Return appears on Table A-2.
Table A-1 does not include a Compound Average Annual Rate of Return due to the
short trading history of the Global Financial Program.
 
                                       66
<PAGE>   73
 
     Monthly rate of return ("Monthly ROR") for each month is calculated by
dividing net performance of the Fully-Funded Subset by the beginning equity of
the Fully-Funded Subset, except in periods of significant additions or
withdrawals to the accounts (including the opening or closing of an account) in
the Fully-Funded Subset. In such instances, the Fully-Funded Subset is adjusted
to exclude accounts with significant additions or withdrawals which would
materially distort the rate of return pursuant to the Fully-Funded Subset
method.
 
     Monthly ROR for each period prior to July 1996 (Standard Program), August
1996 (Higher Leveraged Program) and March 1998 (Global Financial Program) is
calculated by dividing net performance by beginning equity plus time-weighted
additions minus time-weighted withdrawals, i.e., additions and withdrawals are
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the
month during which such sums were included in or excluded from the amount
available for trading, and the denominator of which is the number of calendar
days in such month. For certain months, another more representative CFTC method
of calculating rate of return was used.

RABAR MARKET RESEARCH, INC.
 
BACKGROUND
 
     Rabar Market Research, Inc. ("Rabar") is an Illinois corporation and is a
registered commodity trading advisor. It is a member of the National Futures
Association. The business address and telephone number of Rabar are 10 Bank
Street, Suite 830, White Plains, NY 10606-1933 and (914) 682-8363.
 
     Rabar Market Research, Inc. was originally named Rainbow Market Research,
Inc. when it was incorporated in November 1986. Its name was changed to Rabar
Market Research, Inc. in January 1989. It was registered as a commodity trading
advisor and a commodity pool operator in June 1988, and it has managed accounts
continuously since July 1988. The past performance disclosure of Rabar and its
principals is set forth beginning on the following page.
 
     Rabar is the commodity pool operator of and serves as the trading advisor
to Rabar Futures Fund, L.P., a private commodity pool. Paul Rabar is the sole
shareholder of Rabar International Management, Ltd., a Cayman Islands
corporation, which operates Rabar International Futures Fund, L.P., a commodity
pool organized in the Cayman Islands (that is not open to U.S. investors). Rabar
Market Research, Inc. is the trading advisor of Rabar International Futures
Fund, L.P.
 
     There have never been any administrative, civil, or criminal proceedings
against Rabar Market Research, Inc. or its principals.
 
     Rabar does not currently trade an account for itself and Mr. Izenman does
not currently trade an account for himself, but either may do so in the future.
Records of such trading will not be open to client inspection.
 
     It should also be noted that Rabar and/or Mr. Rabar currently invests, and
Rabar, Mr. Rabar and Mr. Izenman may in the future invest, in commodity pools
which are advised by Rabar. Records of the trading of such pools will not be
open to client inspection.
 
PRINCIPALS
 
     Paul Rabar, the president of the Rabar, first traded commodity futures in
1980. He worked as an account executive at E.F. Hutton from 1981 to 1983 and
then at Clayton Brokerage until 1984. In 1985 and 1986 he traded commodity
futures for Richard J. Dennis, Jr., a speculative trader of futures and options.
In 1987 and 1988 until May, Mr. Rabar independently managed an account for
another speculative trader of futures and options. He traded his own account
from May 1988 until January 1989, when he invested in a futures fund to which
Rabar Market Research, Inc. is one of the advisors. Mr. Rabar is a graduate of
the New England Conservatory of Music. He did additional work -- primarily in
science and mathematics -- at Harvard University, and in 1979 and 1980 was an
assistant instructor of physics there.
 
     Mr. Rabar currently trades a personal account. Such trading occurs only in
markets which are considered too illiquid to trade on behalf of clients,
although Mr. Rabar may trade in other markets in the future. Records of Mr.
Rabar's personal trading will not be open to client inspection.
 
     Jeffrey Izenman is the Executive Vice President of Rabar, having joined the
firm in that capacity in November 1998. Prior to that, from September 1994
through October 1998, he was the President of EMC Capital Management, Inc., a
commodity trading advisor, where he was responsible for business development,
client relations and various administrative and operational aspects of the firm.
Since January 1995, Mr. Izenman has also been a member of the Board of Directors
of the Managed Funds Association and was a member of the Association's executive
committee for three years from 1996 through 1998. Mr. Izenman is also a member
of the Business Conduct Committee of the National Futures Association. Prior to
joining EMC, Mr. Izenman was a partner in the law firm of Katten Muchin & Zavis
from October 1988 through August 1994, and an associate with that firm from
September 1982 through September 1988. There he specialized in the
representation of commodity trading advisors (including Rabar) and commodity
pool operators, as well as securities investment advisers and hedge fund
operators. Mr. Izenman received his JD degree from the University of Michigan
Law School in May 1982 and a B.S. in Accountancy from the University of Illinois
in May 1979.

     Mr. Izenman is not responsible for the management of client accounts on
behalf of Rabar and has not previously had such authority or otherwise had the
authority to direct client accounts. Accordingly, no performance record is shown
for Mr. Izenman. Mr. Izenman does not currently trade a personal account.
 
THE TRADING PROGRAM
 
  Markets Traded
 
     Rabar's objective is to achieve appreciation of its clients' assets through
speculative trading of "commodity interests," including but not limited to
domestic and foreign future contracts and options on future contracts, forward
and spot contracts, and cash commodities. Currently, Rabar primarily trades
future contracts for its clients. The specific commodity interests to be traded
will be selected from time to time by Rabar on the bases discussed below.
Examples of future contracts now traded by Rabar include, but are not
necessarily limited to, gold, silver, U.S. Treasury bonds, certain foreign
currencies, grains and soybean products, oils and sugar. Rabar may also engage
in transactions in physical commodities, including exchange for physical
transactions. Finally, Rabar may engage in the trading of forward or spot
contracts in foreign currencies for certain selected accounts.
 
     Based on the current portfolio, the weighting of markets traded by sector
for Rabar is approximately as follows:
 
<TABLE>

INTEREST RATES..............................................          34%
US..........................................................    8%
Non-US......................................................   26%
 
CURRENCIES..................................................          24%

</TABLE>
 
     Rabar's trading approach does not differ by market sector or commodity
contract within the Program. Rabar attempts to spread risk between various
contracts and market sectors. Changes in the weighting of a
 
                                       70
<PAGE>   77
 
contract or market sector are made infrequently, perhaps less than once per year
per market. The weighting may change typically under one of the following
circumstances:
 
          1. There is a change in the correlations between long-term price
     movements of various markets.
 
          2. A market is added or deleted from the portfolio.
 
          3. A market presents, in Rabar's opinion, an exceptionally favorable
     or unfavorable opportunity at a given time.
 
  Description of the Trading Program
 
     Rabar's trading strategies have been internally researched and developed.
They are technical rather than fundamental in nature, i.e., they are developed
from the research and analysis of patterns of monthly, weekly, and daily price
movements, and of such indicators as volume and open interest. Rabar does,
however, consider the effects of some key fundamental factors in certain
situations, especially for the purpose of controlling risk.
 
     Rabar's risk management techniques include diversification, i.e.,
commitment of equity to many markets and to a number of trading strategies.
Also, the trading program at all times adheres to the requirements of a money
management system which determines and limits the equity committed to each
trade, each market, each complex, and each account. Furthermore, the risk
assumed and, consequently, the potential for profit experienced by a particular
account at different times, and by different accounts at the same time, vary
significantly according to market conditions, the size of a given account, the
percentage gained or lost in that account, and the perceived risk aversion of
that account's owner. For these and other reasons described below, no investor
should expect necessarily the same performance as that of any other account
traded previously, simultaneously, or subsequently by Rabar or its principal, or
of the composite presented herein.
 
     The trading program also emphasizes current and ongoing research and
analysis of market behavior in order to continue to develop strategies for
profiting from the changing character of that behavior. Rabar believes that the
development of a commodity trading strategy is a continual process. As a result
of further analysis and research into the performance of Rabar's methods,
changes have been made from time to time in the specific manner in which these
trading methods evaluate price movements in various commodities, and it is
likely that similar revisions will be made in the future. As a result of such
modifications, the trading methods that may be used by Rabar in the future might
differ from those presently being used.
 
     The exact nature of Rabar's methods are proprietary and confidential. The
foregoing description is by necessity general and is not intended to be
exhaustive. As stated, trading decisions require the exercise of judgment by
Rabar. The decision not to trade certain commodity interests or not to make
certain trades may result at times in missing price moves and hence profits of
great magnitude, which other trading managers who are willing to trade these
commodity interests may be able to capture. There is no assurance that the
performance of Rabar will result in profitable trading.

                               NOTES TO TABLE A-1
 
     In the preceding performance summary, Rabar has adopted a method of
computing rate of return and performance disclosure, referred to as the
"Fully-Funded Subset" method, pursuant to an Advisory (the "Fully Funded Subset
Advisory") published by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. The Fully-
Funded Subset refers to that subset of accounts included in the applicable
composite which is funded entirely by actual funds (as defined in the Advisory).
 
     To qualify for use of the Fully-Funded Subset method, the Fully Funded
Subset Advisory requires that certain computations be made in order to arrive at
the Fully-Funded Subset and that the accounts for which performance is so
reported meets two tests which are designed to provide assurance that the
Fully-Funded Subset and the resultant rates of return are representative of the
trading program. Rabar has performed these computations for periods subsequent
to December 31, 1993. However, for periods prior to January 1, 1994, due to cost
considerations, the Fully-Funded Subset Method has not been used. Instead, the
rates of return are reported using the compounded rate of return method as
described in note (d). Rabar believes that this method yields substantially the
same rates of return as would the Fully-Funded Subset Method and that the rates
of return presented in the performance records are representative of the trading
program for the periods presented.
 
     (a) "Draw-Down" is defined as losses experienced by a program over a
specified period of time.
 
     (b) "Largest Monthly Draw-Down" is the largest monthly loss experienced by
the program on a composite basis in any calendar month expressed as a percentage
of the total equity in the program and includes the month and year of such
draw-down.
 
     (c) "Largest Peak-to-Valley Draw-Down" is the greatest cumulative
percentage decline in month-end net asset value (regardless of whether it is
continuous) due to losses sustained by the trading program during a period in
which the initial composite month-end net asset value of such draw-down is not
equaled or exceeded by a subsequent months composite ending net asset value. The
months and year(s) of such decline from the initial month-end net asset value to
the lowest month-end net asset value are indicated. In the case where the
trading program is in a current draw-down, or was in a current draw-down when
the trading program closed, the month of the lowest net asset value of such
draw-down is disclosed followed by an asterisk(*).
 
     For purposes of the Largest Peak-to-Valley draw-down calculation, any
draw-down which began prior to the beginning of the five most recent calendar
year period is deemed to have occurred during such five calendar year period.
 
     (d) "Annual (or Period) Rate of Return" is calculated by compounding the
Monthly ROR (as described below) over the months in a given year, i.e., each
Monthly ROR, in hundredths, is added to one (1) and the result is multiplied by
the subsequent Monthly ROR similarly expressed. One is then subtracted from the
product and the result is multiplied by one hundred (100). The Compound Average
Annual Rate of Return is similarly calculated except that before subtracting one
(1) from the product, the product is exponentially changed by the factor of one
(1) divided by the number of years in the performance summary and then one (1)
is subtracted. The Compound Average Annual Rate of Return appears on Table A-1.
 
     Monthly rate of return ("Monthly ROR") for each month subsequent to
December 31, 1993 is calculated by dividing net performance of the Fully-Funded
Subset by the beginning equity of the Fully-Funded Subset, except in periods of
significant additions or withdrawals to the accounts in the Fully-Funded Subset.
In such instances, the Fully-Funded Subset is adjusted to exclude accounts with
significant additions or withdrawals which would materially distort the rate of
return pursuant to the Fully Funded Subset method.
 
     Monthly ROR for the period prior to January 1, 1994 is calculated using the
compounded rate of return method. The compounded rate of return method is
computed by dividing net performance for an "accounting period" by beginning
equity for the same "accounting period". An "accounting period" represents a
full month if there has not been any additions or withdrawals within the month
or a portion of a month for each day an
 
                                       73
<PAGE>   80
 
addition or withdrawal has occurred within the month. Monthly ROR is then
calculated by applying successively (i.e. compounding) the rate of return for
each accounting period with a month.
 
ADDITIONAL FOOTNOTES FOR SUPPLEMENTAL PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
 
     From January 1, 1985 through May 20, 1988, Mr. Rabar managed accounts for
two investors who were themselves professionally involved in futures trading and
were affiliated with the futures commission merchant which carried the commodity
trading accounts. In addition, from May 20, 1988 until January 1, 1989, Mr.
Rabar traded his personal account. These accounts were deemed "proprietary" by
the CFTC and have not been included in the Supplemental Performance Information.

                  NOTES TO TABLES B-1 AND B-2 FOR ALL ADVISORS
 
     Table B-1 and, where applicable, Table B-2 (collectively "Tables B") were
prepared by the General Partner and present the results of applying certain
arithmetical calculations to various figures in each Advisor's composite
performance record for the program or portfolio which will be traded for the
Partnership in order to indicate approximately what the month-to-month effect on
such figures would have been had the accounts in question been charged the
brokerage, management, incentive fees and other expenses which will be paid by
the Partnership, as opposed to the brokerage commissions and management,
incentive fees and other expenses which they did in fact pay, and received
interest income on 80% of account equity. Adjustments for pro forma other
expenses and initial and continuous offering expenses were made to each of the
Tables B based upon an assumed average partnership size of $30 million. The pro
forma calculations are made on a month-to-month basis, i.e., the pro forma
adjustment to brokerage commissions, management and incentive fees, other
expenses and interest income in one month does not affect the actual figures
which are used in the following month for making the similar pro forma
calculations for that period, except for pro forma incentive fees as described
in Note 4. Accordingly, the Pro Forma Tables do not reflect on a cumulative
basis the effect of the difference between the Fees to be charged to and
interest earned by the Partnership and the Fees and Commissions charged to and
interest earned by the accounts in the Actual Performance Tables.
 
1.   Pro forma brokerage fees for each month (for all advisors except Campbell)
     have been calculated by adding the sum of (a) actual ending equity, actual
     management and incentive fees, actual brokerage commissions, actual other
     expenses and pro forma interest income minus actual interest income (the
     "Base Amount"), and (b) multiplying the result by 9/20 of 1% (an annual
     rate of 5.4%), plus estimated NFA, exchange, "give-up" and floor brokerage
     fees. For Campbell, the pro forma brokerage fees have been calculated by
     taking the average of the Base Amount and actual ending equity, then
     applying the result to a commission structure of 900 round turn
     transactions for each one million dollars under management (the current
     estimated round turn trading level) at a round turn brokerage rate of $54
     plus estimated NFA, exchange and "give-up" fees.
 
2.   Pro forma management fees for each month have been calculated by taking the
     Base Amount, subtracting pro forma brokerage fees and pro forma other
     expenses and multiplying the result by 1/6 of 1% for all Advisors, except
     for Eagle, whose management fee has been further reduced by its pro rata
     share of customary and routine administrative expenses.
 
3.   Pro forma other expenses have been calculated by taking the Base Amount,
     subtracting pro forma brokerage fees and pro forma management fees and
     multiplying the result by 1/12 of .50%. In addition, an adjustment was made
     for the expenses of the Initial Offering Period in accordance with the
     terms set forth in this Prospectus.
 
4.   Pro forma incentive fees have been calculated by: (a) adding to the actual
     net performance, actual management and incentive fees, actual brokerage
     commissions and actual other expenses, (b) subtracting actual interest
     income, pro forma brokerage fees, pro forma management fees and pro forma
     other expenses, and (c) multiplying the resulting figure by 20% for all
     Advisors except Eagle, which has been calculated using 23%. Pro forma
     incentive fees were calculated on a monthly basis (in accordance with
     generally accepted accounting principles) and as to reflect the reversal of
     previously accrued incentive fees when profits sufficient to generate
     incentive fees are recognized as of the end of an interim month in a year
     but lost in a subsequent month in such year. In the case where there is
     cumulative negative net performance, which must be reversed before an
     incentive fee becomes payable, and there are net withdrawals, the
     cumulative negative net performance amount has been proportionately
     reduced. For purposes of calculating the pro forma incentive fees, an
     assumption was made that the payments of such fees, if any, were made at
     the end of each calendar year end.
 
5.   Pro forma interest income has been calculated by: (a) adding actual
     beginning equity to the sum of: actual ending equity, actual management and
     incentive fees, actual brokerage commissions and actual other expenses, (b)
     subtracting actual interest income, (c) dividing this sum by two, (d)
     multiplying by
 
                                       76
<PAGE>   83
 
     80% and (e) then multiplying the result by the monthly historical 30-day
     Treasury bill rate. For purposes of the calculation of pro forma interest
     income, Partnership interest was estimated using historical 30-day Treasury
     bill rates of the time period presented on Tables B. Such rates may be
     higher than current 30-day Treasury bill rates that will be used to
     calculate Partnership interest income. The application of historical rates
     may compare more closely to the interest income reflected in the Advisors'
     performance tables which was most likely earned at the then prevailing
     interest rates of a particular time period.
 
6.   Pro forma monthly rate of return ("Pro Forma Monthly ROR") equals pro forma
     net performance divided by the actual beginning equity (from the historical
     performance tables) or equity adjusted for material additions and
     withdrawals, where applicable.
 
7.   Pro forma annual rate of return equals the Pro Forma Monthly ROR compounded
     over the number of periods in a given year, i.e. each Pro Forma Monthly ROR
     in hundredths is added to one (1) and the result is multiplied by the
     previous period's Pro Forma Monthly ROR similarly expressed. One is then
     subtracted from the product. The Compound Average Annual Rate of Return for
     the entire period presented is similarly calculated except that before
     subtracting one (1) from the product, the product is exponentially changed
     by the factor of one (1) divided by the number of years in the period
     presented and then one (1) is subtracted. The compound average annual rate
     of return for the entire period appears as the last entry in the column for
     programs selected to trade on behalf of the Partnership.
 
8.   "Largest Monthly Draw-Down" is the largest pro forma monthly loss
     experienced by the program on a composite basis in any calendar month
     expressed as a percentage of the total equity in the program and includes
     the month and year of such draw-down.
 
9.   "Largest Peak-to-Valley Draw-Down" is the greatest cumulative pro forma
     percentage decline in month end net asset value (regardless of whether it
     is continuous) due to losses sustained by the trading program during a
     period in which the initial composite month-end net asset value of such
     peak-to-valley draw-down is not equaled or exceeded by a subsequent month's
     composite ending net asset value. The months and year(s) of such decline
     from the initial month-end net asset value to the lowest month-end net
     asset value of such decline are indicated.
 
MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
 
     The Management Agreement that the General Partner and the Partnership has
entered into with each Advisor provides that the Advisor has sole discretion in
determining the investment of the assets of the Partnership allocated by the
General Partner to that Advisor subject to the Partnership's trading policies.
Each agreement continues in effect until each June 30 and is renewable by the
General Partner for additional one-year periods upon notice to the Advisor not
less than 30 days prior to the expiration of the previous period. The agreement
can be terminated by the General Partner on 30 days' written notice to the
Advisor if (i) the Net Asset Value per Unit declines as of the close of business
on any day to $400 or less, (ii) the Net Assets allocated to an Advisor
(adjusted for redemptions, reallocations and withdrawals, if any) decline by 50%
or more as of the end of a trading day from such Net Assets' previous highest
value, (iii) limited partners owning at least 50% of the outstanding Units vote
to require the General Partner to terminate the agreement, (iv) the Advisor
fails to comply with the terms of the agreement, (v) the General Partner, acting
in good faith, upon due consideration by its Board of Directors reasonably
determines that the performance of the Advisor has been such that the General
Partner's fiduciary duties to the Partnership require termination of the
agreement, or (vi) the General Partner reasonably believes that the application
of speculative position limits resulting from the aggregation of the
Partnership's positions with those of the accounts managed by the Advisor and
its principals (if any) will substantially adversely affect the results of the
Partnership's commodity trading. The agreement also provides that the Advisor
may terminate the agreement upon 30 days' notice to the General Partner in the
event that (i) the Trading Policies are changed in a manner which the Advisor
reasonably believes will adversely affect the performance of its trading
strategies, (ii) at any time after June 30, 1999 or (iii) the General Partner or
Partnership fails to comply with the terms of the agreement. The Advisor may
immediately terminate the Agreement if the General Partner's registration as a
commodity pool operator or its membership in the NFA is terminated or suspended.
The General Partner may immediately terminate the
 
                                       77
<PAGE>   84
 
agreement of an Advisor if its controlling principal (or principals) dies,
becomes incapacitated, or is otherwise not managing the trading programs of the
Advisor, or if the respective Advisor merges, consolidates with another entity,
sells a substantial portion of its assets or becomes insolvent or bankrupt, or
if its registration with the CFTC or membership in NFA is suspended or
terminated.
 
     The compensation payable by the Partnership to the Advisors under each
Management Agreement is described under "Fees and Expenses to the Partnership."
 
     Under each Management Agreement the Advisor and its principals are free to
render advisory services with respect to other clients and accounts and may use
the same or different trading strategies which are utilized in managing the
Partnership's investments. However, the Advisor represents and agrees that any
such other services will not affect its capacity to continue to render services
to the Partnership of the quality and nature contemplated by the Management
Agreement. Further, if trading recommendations must be revised as a result of
the application of speculative position limits, the Advisor is required to
modify such orders in a manner which will not substantially disproportionately
affect the Partnership as compared with the Advisor's other accounts trading
that program. In addition, the Advisor represents and agrees that it will not
knowingly or deliberately use trading strategies for the Partnership which are
inferior to those used for any other client or account nor favor any other
account over the Partnership in any way, although certain Advisors may offer
different trading programs and the Advisor's trading will not necessarily
experience the same results as other accounts managed by the Advisor due to
differences in such variables including the portfolio selected (which may differ
from the trading programs selected and allocations utilized by other accounts);
the proportion of funds utilized as margin in the markets; brokerage commissions
and management and incentive fees (which may be higher or lower than other
accounts under the Advisor's management); and changes in the Advisor's trading
methodology, including the size and degree of diversification in terms of the
number of and differences in commodities traded at a particular time.
 
     The Agreement provides that with respect to any action in which the Advisor
is a party arising out of or in connection with the Management Agreement or the
management of the Partnership's assets, the Partnership and the General Partner
shall indemnify and hold harmless the Advisor, subject to receipt of an
independent legal opinion regarding the applicable standard of conduct, against
any loss, liability, damage, cost, expense (including attorneys' and
accountants' fees), judgments and amounts paid in settlement, incurred by such
person in connection with such action if the Advisor acted in good faith and in
a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the Partnership, and if such actions did not involve negligence, intentional
misconduct, or a breach of fiduciary obligations to the Partnership as a
commodity trading advisor in accordance with applicable law. To the extent that
the Advisor has been successful in defense of any action, no independent legal
opinion is needed.

                            FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY
 
     Duties of the General Partner.  Except as described below, the General
Partner, to the exclusion of all limited partners, conducts and manages the
business of the Partnership including, without limitation, the investment of the
funds of the Partnership. The General Partner may delegate its responsibility
for the investment of the Partnership's assets to one or more qualified trading
advisors. The General Partner monitors the trading and performance of the
Partnership and does not "churn" or permit the "churning" of the Partnership's
account. The General Partner is further authorized to enter into the Customer
Agreement with SSB described herein under "The Commodity
Broker/Dealer -- Customer Agreement" and to cause the Partnership to pay SSB a
brokerage fee that equals up to 9/20 of 1% of month-end Net Assets allocated to
the Advisors (5.4% per year) per month. The General Partner may take such other
actions as it deems necessary or desirable to manage the business of the
Partnership including, but not limited to, the following: opening bank accounts
with state or national banks; paying, or authorizing the payment of,
distributions to the partners and expenses of the Partnership, such as incentive
fees, brokerage fees, legal and accounting fees, printing and reporting fees,
and registration and other fees of governmental agencies; and investing or
directing the investment of funds of the Partnership not being utilized as
margin deposits. The General Partner shall seek the best prices and services
available in its commodity futures brokerage transactions. The General Partner
reviews, not less often than annually, the brokerage rates charged to public
commodity pools which are comparable to the Partnership to determine, to the
extent practicable, that the brokerage fee paid by the Partnership is
competitive with such other rates. See "The Limited Partnership
Agreement -- Management of Partnership Affairs" and "Risk Factors -- Dissolution
of the Partnership; Cessation of Trading".
 
     The General Partner has sole discretion in determining what distributions
(other than on redemptions of Units), if any, the Partnership will make to its
partners. See "The Limited Partnership Agreement -- Sharing of Profits and
Losses". The General Partner takes such actions as it deems necessary or
appropriate at any time to admit new or substituted limited partners to the
Partnership. See "The Limited Partnership Agreement -- Additional Partners" and
"The Limited Partnership Agreement -- Restrictions on Transfer or Assignment".
 
     General Partner as a Fiduciary.  Under New York law, the General Partner
has a responsibility to the limited partners to exercise good faith and fairness
in all dealings affecting the Partnership. The General Partner has fiduciary
responsibility for the safekeeping and use of all funds and assets of the
Partnership. The General Partner shall not permit the limited partners to
contract away the fiduciary obligation owed to the limited partners by the
General Partner under common law. The law of fiduciary duties is a developing
and changing area of the law and limited partners who have questions concerning
the responsibilities of the General Partner should consult their counsel. In the
event that a limited partner believes the General Partner has violated its
fiduciary responsibility to the limited partners, he may seek legal relief for
himself or on behalf of the Partnership, if the General Partner has refused to
bring the action, or if an effort to cause the General Partner to bring the
action is not likely to succeed, or may have a right to bring a class action on
behalf of all of the limited partners, under applicable laws, including
partnership, commodities or securities laws, to recover damages from or require
an accounting by the General Partner. Limited partners may also be afforded
certain rights for reparations under the CEA for violations of the CEA by the
General Partner. There can be no assurance, however, that adequate remedies will
be available to the limited partners in the event that the General Partner fails
to perform its fiduciary obligations to the Partnership. In addition, a limited
partner may institute legal proceedings against the General Partner if it or a
duly selected trading advisor engages in excessive trading. Limited partners
should be aware that it would be difficult to establish that commodity trading
has been excessive due to the broad trading authority given to the General
Partner under the Limited Partnership Agreement and the Advisors under the
Management Agreements, the scarcity of judicial decisions providing standards
defining excessive trading, and the exculpatory provisions in the Limited
Partnership Agreement.
 
     The Limited Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership shall
indemnify and hold harmless the General Partner or its affiliates, subject to
receipt of an independent legal opinion regarding the applicable standard of
conduct, against any loss, liability, expense (including attorneys' and
accountants' fees), judgments and amounts paid in settlement, if the General
Partner (or its affiliate) determined in good faith
                                       79
<PAGE>   86
 
that the course of conduct which caused the loss or liability was in the best
interests of the Partnership, the General Partner (or its affiliate) was acting
on behalf of or performing services for the Partnership and if such loss or
liability was not the result of negligence or misconduct. The General Partner
would be able to defend itself on that basis if it were involved in a lawsuit,
as established in New York law. No indemnification of the General Partner or its
affiliates is permitted for losses resulting from a violation of the Securities
Act of 1933 or of any state securities law. In addition, indemnification of the
General Partner and its affiliates in connection with any action against the
General Partner may only be made if consistent with applicable provisions of the
New York Revised Limited Partnership Act. The provisions of the Limited
Partnership Agreement are consistent with New York standards of fiduciary duty.
 
     The Limited Partnership Agreement provides further that the General Partner
shall not be personally liable for the return or repayment of all or any portion
of the capital or profits of any partner (or assignee), it being expressly
agreed therein that any such return of capital or profits made pursuant to the
Limited Partnership Agreement shall be made from the assets (which shall not
include any right of contribution from the General Partner) of the Partnership.
 
     The effect of the above provisions may be that an investor in the Units
would have a more limited right of action than would be the case had such
provisions not existed. The CFTC has issued a statement of policy relating to
indemnification of officers and directors of a futures commission merchant and
its controlling persons under which it has taken the position that whether such
indemnification is consistent with the policies expressed in the CEA will be
determined by the CFTC on a case-by-case basis.
 
     The limited partners may be afforded certain rights for reparations under
the CEA. The CFTC has adopted rules implementing the reparations provisions of
the CEA which provide that any person may file a complaint for a reparations
award with the CFTC for violation of the CEA against a floor broker, a futures
commission merchant and its associated persons, a commodity trading advisor or a
commodity pool operator. The General Partner is registered with the CFTC as a
commodity pool operator and a commodity trading advisor; each of the Advisors is
registered with the CFTC as a commodity trading advisor; and SB is registered
with the CFTC as a futures commission merchant. In addition, the NFA has adopted
certain arbitration rules which, in appropriate circumstances, might provide
rights to limited partners. The General Partner, the Advisors and SSB are
members of the NFA.
 
                          THE COMMODITY BROKER/DEALER
 
     Salomon Smith Barney Inc., the Partnership's selling agent and commodity
broker/dealer through which the Partnership executes its trades, is a clearing
member of The Board of Trade of the City of Chicago, the Chicago Mercantile
Exchange, and other principal U.S. commodity exchanges. It is also registered
with the SEC as a securities broker-dealer and with the CFTC as a futures
commission merchant, and is a member of the NFA, the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. and major securities exchanges, including the New York
Stock Exchange. SSB has approximately 500 domestic and international offices and
over 10,000 Financial Consultants. Its principal office is located at 390
Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10013; telephone (212) 816-6000.
 
     SSB provides commodity brokerage and clearing services for both retail and
professional participants in the commodity futures markets, including clearing
services for other commodity pools and other members of the commodity exchanges
of which it is a clearing member.
 
     BROKERAGE FEES.  The Partnership has entered into a non-exclusive Customer
Agreement (as described below) with SSB pursuant to which SSB executes trades on
behalf of the Partnership. Pursuant to the Customer Agreement, the Partnership
will pay SSB (i) a monthly brokerage fee equal to 9/20 of 1% of month-end Net
Assets allocated to Eagle, Eckhardt and Rabar (5.4% per year) in lieu of per
transaction fees and regardless of how many or how few trades are executed
during a month and (ii) $54 per round-turn for transactions entered into by
Campbell, to be paid monthly, provided that round-turn commissions will be
capped at .45% per month (5.4% of Net Assets per year). The foregoing fees do
not include exchange, floor brokerage, user, give-up, clearing and NFA fees
which will be paid by the Partnership with respect to futures
 
                                       80
<PAGE>   87
 
and options transactions. The Partnership shall seek the best price and services
available in its commodity futures brokerage transactions. SSB acts as principal
on any spot and forward transactions entered into by the Partnership. Such
transactions are entered into at prices quoted by SSB which reflect a spread
between the bid and ask (which spread includes anticipated profits and costs to
SSB as dealer), but does not include a mark-up. The spread charged on related
party trades will be at competitive market prices. SSB pays a portion of its
brokerage fee to its Financial Consultants who are registered as associated
persons of a futures commission merchant and who have sold Units in this
offering so long as they are still employed by SSB. Such Financial Consultants
provide ongoing services to investors including (i) answering questions
regarding daily net asset value and computations thereof, monthly statements,
annual reports and tax information provided by the Partnership; (ii) providing
assistance to investors in deciding whether and when to redeem their Units or
purchase additional Units; and (iii) general servicing of accounts. Such
Financial Consultants receive a portion of the fees attributable to Units for
the sale of which they were responsible. For this purpose fees are deemed to be
attributable to Units sold by a Financial Consultant in the proportion which the
number of such Units bears to the number of all Units outstanding at any time.
For example, if a Financial Consultant were responsible for the sale of 200
Units and there were 40,000 Units outstanding, .5% (200 divided by 40,000) of
the aggregate amount available for such payments would be attributable to the
Units sold by a Financial Consultant and the Financial Consultant would
currently be credited with approximately 83.33% of the amount attributable to
the Units sold by him.
 
     The brokerage fee charged to the Partnership may not equal the lowest rates
which SSB charges to any speculative account, including the accounts of its
employees, and may not be as low as rates which might be charged by other
commodity broker/dealers because different accounts require different levels of
service and monitoring based upon the number of advisors and the volume and
complexity of trading. In addition, pursuant to its Customer Agreement with SSB,
the Partnership will receive several administrative services, such as account
reconcilement, payment of fees and expenses, crediting interest income and
assistance with preparation of all regulatory filings and monthly reports. These
types of services may not be provided to other speculative accounts of SSB and
may account for the possibly higher rates charged to the Partnership. Since the
Customer Agreement is nonexclusive, and since the Partnership is not permitted
to enter into an exclusive brokerage agreement, the Partnership would have the
right to seek lower brokerage rates from other broker/dealers. The General
Partner believes that the arrangements between SSB and the Partnership are
consistent with arrangements made between comparable commodity pools and other
broker/dealers and are fair to the Partnership. Therefore, the General Partner
does not intend to negotiate with any other broker/dealers for services to the
Partnership nor does it intend to negotiate with SSB to obtain a better rate.
However, the General Partner will review, at least annually, the brokerage rates
charged to other comparable commodity pools to the extent practicable, to
determine that the brokerage rates being paid by the Partnership are competitive
with such other rates. The General Partner will renegotiate the Customer
Agreement if its fiduciary duties so require. In accordance with the Limited
Partnership Agreement, limited partners owning more than 50% of the outstanding
Units may terminate the Customer Agreement with SSB (an affiliate of the General
Partner) on sixty days' notice without penalty. See "Conflicts of Interest".
 
     CUSTOMER AGREEMENT.  The Partnership has entered into a Customer Agreement
with SSB pursuant to which SSB executes transactions for the Partnership's
accounts in accordance with orders placed by the Advisors. In addition to
specifying the services performed by SSB, which include the execution of orders
and the rendering of bookkeeping and clerical assistance to the Partnership and
the General Partner, the Customer Agreement provides that SSB will pay monthly
interest to the Partnership on 80% of the average daily equity maintained in
cash in the Partnership's trading account at SSB during each month (i.e., the
sum of the daily cash balances in such accounts divided by the total number of
calendar days in that month) at a 30-day Treasury bill rate determined weekly by
SSB based on the average non-competitive yield on 3-month U.S. Treasury bills
maturing in 30 days (or on the maturity date closest thereto) from the date on
which such weekly rate is determined.
 
     The Customer Agreement also provides that with respect to any action in
which SSB or its affiliates is a party (other than an action by or in the right
of the Partnership), the Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless such
person, subject to receipt of an independent legal opinion regarding the
applicable standard of
 
                                       81
<PAGE>   88
 
conduct, against any loss, liability, damage, cost, expense (including
attorneys' and accountants' fees), judgments and amounts paid in settlement, if
the indemnified person acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed
to be in the best interests of the Partnership, and if such actions did not
involve negligence, misconduct, or a breach of fiduciary obligations. To the
extent that the indemnified party has been successful in defense of any action,
no independent legal opinion is needed.
 
     LITIGATION.  There have been no administrative, civil or criminal actions
pending, on appeal or concluded against SSB or any of its individual principals
within the past five years that are material to a decision whether to invest in
the Partnership, except as follows.
 
     In September 1992, Harris Trust and Savings Bank (as trustee for Ameritech
Pension Trust ("APT")), Ameritech Corporation, and an officer of Ameritech filed
suit against Salomon Brothers Inc ("SBI") and Salomon Brothers Realty
Corporation ("SBRC") in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of
Illinois (Harris Trust Savings Bank, not individually but solely as trustee for
the Ameritech Pension Trust, Ameritech Corporation and John A. Edwardson v.
Salomon Brothers Inc and Salomon Brothers Realty Corp.). The second amended
complaint alleges that three purchases by APT from defendants of participation
interests in net cash flow or resale proceeds of three portfolios of motels
owned by Motels of America, Inc. ("MOA"), as well as a fourth purchase by APT of
a similar participation interest with respect to a portfolio of motels owned by
Best Inns, Inc. ("Best"), violated the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
("ERISA"), and that the purchase of the participation interests for the third
MOA portfolio and for the Best portfolio violated the Racketeer Influenced and
Corrupt Organization Act ("RICO") and state law. SBI had acquired the
participation interests in transactions in which it purchased as principal
mortgage notes issued by MOA and Best to finance purchases of motel portfolios;
95% of three such interests and 100% of one such interest were sold to APT for
purchase prices aggregating approximately $20.9 million. Plaintiffs' second
amended complaint seeks (i) a judgment on the ERISA claims for the purchase
prices of the four participation interests (approximately $20.9 million), for
rescission and for disgorgement of profits, as well as other relief, and (ii) a
judgment on the claims brought under RICO and state law in the amount of $12.3
million, with damages trebled to $37 million on the RICO claims and punitive
damages in excess of $37 million on certain of the state law claims as well as
other relief. SBI and SBRC answered the second amended complaint in part, moved
to dismiss in part and asserted counterclaims against plaintiff Ameritech Corp.
In August 1993 the Court (i) dismissed the RICO claims as well as plaintiffs'
claims for breach of contract and unjust enrichment; (ii) denied SBI's motion to
dismiss one of the ERISA claims (which alleges that SBI participated in a
fiduciary's breach); and (iii) denied Ameritech's motion to dismiss SBI's
counterclaims.
 
     In June 1996, the Court (i) granted in part defendants' motion for summary
judgment on the ERISA claims, dismissing Counts I and III of the second amended
complaint and any claims contained in Count II that are premised on an alleged
breach of fiduciary duty; (ii) otherwise denied defendants' motion for summary
judgment as it related to the remaining portions of the claims in Count II;
(iii) denied plaintiffs' motion for partial summary judgment with respect to
Count II; and (iv) granted plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment dismissing
defendants' counterclaims against Ameritech for contribution. In September 1997,
the Court granted defendants' alternative motion for summary judgment on
plaintiffs' remaining state law claims, dismissing Counts VIII-X of the second
amended complaint. In January 1998, the Court certified for interlocutory appeal
that portion of its June 1996 order denying defendants' motion for summary
judgment on Count III. Also in January 1998, defendants filed, in the U.S. Court
of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, a petition for permission to appeal, and
that petition remains pending. The petition was granted and oral argument of the
appeal will be held on November 30, 1998.
 
     Both the Department of Labor and the Internal Revenue Service have advised
SBI that they were or are reviewing the transactions in which APT acquired such
participation interests. With respect to the Internal Revenue Service review,
Salomon Smith Barney Holdings Inc. ("SSBHI"), SBI and SBRC have consented to
extensions of time for the assessment of excise taxes that may be claimed to be
due with respect to the transactions for the years 1987, 1988 and 1989. In
August 1996, the IRS sent SSBHI, SBI and SBRC what appeared to be draft "30-day
letters" with respect to the transactions and SSBHI, SBI and SBRC were given an
opportunity to comment on whether the IRS should issue 30-day letters, which
would actually commence
                                       82
<PAGE>   89
 
the assessment process. In October 1996, SSBH, SBI and SBRC submitted a
memorandum setting forth reasons why the IRS should not issue 30-day letters
with respect to the transactions.
 
     Between May 1994 and the present, SBI, SSB and The Robinson Humphrey
Company, Inc. ("R-H"), all currently subsidiaries of SSBHI, along with a number
of other broker-dealers, were named as defendants in approximately 25 federal
court lawsuits and two state court lawsuits, principally alleging that companies
that make markets in securities traded on NASDAQ violated the federal antitrust
laws by conspiring to maintain a minimum spread of $.25 between the bid and
asked price for certain securities. The federal lawsuits and one state court
case were consolidated for pre-trial purposes in the Southern District of New
York in the fall of 1994 under the caption In re NASDAQ Market-Makers Antitrust
Litigation, United States District Court, Southern District of New York No.
94-CIV-3996 (RWS); M.D.L. No. 1023. The other state court suit, Lawrence A. Abel
v. Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. et al.; Superior Court of San Diego, Case No.
677313, has been dismissed without prejudice in conjunction with a tolling
agreement.
 
     In the consolidated action, the plaintiffs purport to represent a class of
persons who bought one or more of what they currently estimate to be
approximately 1,650 securities on NASDAQ between May 1, 1989 and May 27, 1994.
They seek unspecified monetary damages, which would be trebled under the
antitrust laws. The plaintiffs also seek injunctive relief, as well as
attorney's fees and the costs of the action. (The state cases seek similar
relief.) Plaintiffs in the consolidated action filed an amended consolidated
complaint that defendants answered in December 1995. On November 26, 1996, the
Court certified a class composed of retail purchasers. A motion to include
institutional investors in the class and to add class representatives was
granted. In December 1997, SBI, SSB and R-H, along with several other
broker-dealer defendants, executed a settlement agreement with the plaintiffs.
This agreement was approved by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District
of New York on September 30, 1998.
 
     On July 17, 1996, the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice filed
a complaint against a number of firms that act as market makers in NASDAQ
stocks. The complaint basically alleged that a common understanding arose among
NASDAQ market makers which worked to keep quote spreads in NASDAQ stocks
artificially wide. Contemporaneous with the filing of the complaint, SBI, SSB
and other defendants entered into a stipulated settlement agreement, pursuant to
which the defendants would agree not to engage in certain practices relating to
the quoting of NASDAQ securities and would further agree to implement a program
to ensure compliance with federal antitrust laws and with the terms of the
settlement. In entering into the stipulated settlement, SBI and SSB did not
admit any liability. There are no fines, penalties, or other payments of monies
in connection with the settlement. In April 1997, the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New York approved the settlement. In May 1997,
plaintiffs in the related civil action (who were permitted to intervene for
limited purposes) appealed the district court's approval of the settlement. The
appeal was argued in March 1998 and was affirmed in August 1998.
 
     The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") is also conducting a review
of the NASDAQ marketplace, during which it has subpoenaed documents and taken
the testimony of various individuals including SBI and SSB personnel. In July
1996, the SEC reached a settlement with the National Association of Securities
Dealers and issued a report detailing certain conclusions with respect to the
NASD and the NASDAQ market.
 
     In December 1996, a complaint seeking unspecified monetary damages was
filed by Orange County, California against numerous brokerage firms, including
SSB, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California.
Plaintiff alleged, among other things, that the defendants recommended and sold
to plaintiff unsuitable securities. The case (County of Orange et al. v. Bear
Stearns & Co. Inc. et al.) has been subject to a stay by agreement of the
parties. In August 1998, the stay was lifted.
 
     In the course of its business, SSB, as a major futures commission merchant
and broker-dealer is a party to various claims and routine regulatory
investigations and proceedings which the General Partner believes do not have a
material effect on the business of SSB.

                               INCOME TAX ASPECTS
 
     The General Partner has been advised by its counsel, Willkie Farr &
Gallagher, that, in its opinion, the following summary describes the material
federal income tax consequences to a United States taxpayer who invests in the
Partnership, subject to the uncertainties referred to herein. The legal opinions
appearing in this section are the legal opinions of Willkie Farr & Gallagher.
The following summary is based upon the Code, and rules, regulations and
existing interpretations relating thereto, any of which could be changed at any
time, possibly with retroactive effect. A complete discussion of all federal,
state and local tax aspects of an investment in the Partnership is beyond the
scope of the following summary, and prospective investors should consult their
own tax advisers particularly as respects the effect of their own individual tax
characteristics.
 
CLASSIFICATION AS A PARTNERSHIP
 
     Treasury Regulations (the "check-the-box regulations") that were adopted in
1996 permit the Partnership to elect treatment as a partnership for federal
income tax purposes. Even if the Partnership does not affirmatively elect
treatment as a Partnership, the check-the-box regulations provide that the
Partnership will be classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes
so long as it has two or more partners.
 
     Pursuant to Code Section 7704, "publicly traded partnerships" are taxed as
corporations. If the Partnership were treated as an association taxable as a
corporation for federal income tax purposes, the income of the Partnership would
be taxed to the Partnership at corporate rates, no Partnership losses could be
used by the Partners to offset their own income and all or a portion of any
distribution by the Partnership to the partners would be taxed to them as
dividends to the extent of the current and accumulated earnings and profits of
the Partnership. See "Application of 'Publicly Traded Partnership' Rules to the
Partnership". The discussion which follows assumes that the Partnership will be
treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes.
 
IN GENERAL
 
     The Partnership will pay no federal income tax. Rather in the opinion of
Willkie Farr & Gallagher, each limited partner will report on his federal income
tax return his distributive share of the Partnership's income, gains, losses,
deductions, credits and other items for the Partnership's taxable year ending
with or within the partner's taxable year. A limited partner's distributive
share of such items for federal income tax purposes will be determined under the
Limited Partnership Agreement generally on a pro rata basis in accordance with
his capital account. A limited partner must report (and pay taxes on) his share
of partnership income for a particular taxable year whether or not any cash is
actually distributed to him for that year.
 
                 SUMMARY OF THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
                FOR UNITED STATES TAXPAYERS WHO ARE INDIVIDUALS
 
     The following discussion applies only to limited partners who are citizens
or residents of the United States for federal income tax purposes, and who are
taxed as individuals. Corporate limited partners should consult their own tax
counsel as to the federal, state and local tax aspects of an investment in the
Partnership and, in particular, should consider the discussion of the New York
State corporate franchise tax under "State, Local and Other Taxes" below.
 
ALLOCATION OF TAX ITEMS
 
     Limited partners will be allocated their proportionate share of the taxable
income or losses realized by the Partnership during the period of the
Partnership's taxable year that Units were owned by them. For this purpose,
transfers or assignments of Units will be effective only as of the first day of
the month after the month in which the General Partner consents to such transfer
or assignment. The allocation of taxable income for federal income tax purposes
by the Partnership may differ from the way in which the benefits of the income
have been allocated among the partners for financial purposes as a consequence
of new limited partners joining the Partnership and existing partners adding
capital to, or withdrawing capital from, the Partnership during a
 
                                       84
<PAGE>   91
 
taxable year of the Partnership. For example, a partner may redeem Units at a
time at which the Partnership has realized gains which are offset by unrealized
losses. The unrealized losses will reduce the amount paid to the partner on
redemption but, when later realized, may not be allocated for tax purposes to
the redeemed partner. Alternatively, if a partner redeems Units when there are
net unrealized gains, the redeemed partner will be paid for his share of such
gain, but when they are later realized any resulting tax liability may have to
be borne by the remaining partners.
 
     Unrealized gains/losses on many commodity interests held by the Partnership
at the end of its taxable year must be included in income under the
"mark-to-market" rule described below. For federal income tax purposes, these
gains/losses will be allocated to partners in proportion to their respective
capital accounts. The General Partner will determine each partner's share of the
Partnership's gain or loss for tax purposes by marking to market the
Partnership's investments as of the end of each month of the taxable year and by
allocating the resulting gain or loss to those partners who were partners of the
Partnership during the month to which such gain or loss relates. Some ambiguity
exists under current law regarding the application of the mark-to-market rules
to partners who redeem or transfer their interests other than at the end of the
Partnership's taxable year. Mark-to-market gains and losses might be allocated
only to those partners holding interests in the Partnership at the end of the
Partnership's year and the Partnership may not be entitled to a basis adjustment
with respect to gains and losses on "Section 1256 contracts" (defined below in
"Commodity Provisions") regardless of whether the gains or losses may be
allocated monthly.
 
LIMITATIONS ON DEDUCTIONS
 
     (1) Basis:  A partner may not deduct Partnership losses to the extent they
exceed his basis in the Partnership as of the time he seeks to take that
deduction. A limited partner's initial tax basis for his interest in the
Partnership will be the amount of money he contributes to the Partnership and
will be increased by additional contributions. This initial basis will be
increased by the Partnership's income previously allocated to him for tax
purposes and will be reduced by the Partnership's losses previously allocated to
him for tax purposes, and by any distributions previously made to him by the
Partnership. Losses denied under this limitation are suspended and may be
carried forward and deducted in subsequent taxable years, subject to this and
all other applicable limitations.
 
     (2) At Risk:  Similarly, a partner may not deduct Partnership losses for
tax purposes for a particular taxable year to the extent they exceed the amount
he has "at risk" for his interest in the Partnership at the end of that year. At
the end of a taxable year, a limited partner will be "at risk" for tax purposes
to the extent of the total of all money he has contributed to the Partnership
(except to the extent that the money contributed has been borrowed by the
limited partner either without recourse to the limited partner or from a person
with an interest in the Partnership or a person related to such a person), plus
his share of Partnership income for tax purposes previously allocated to him,
reduced by the amount of the Partnership's losses previously allocated to him
and reduced by the amount of any prior distributions to him. Losses denied under
this limitation are suspended and may be carried forward and deducted in
subsequent taxable years, subject to this and all other applicable limitations.
 
     (3) Capital Losses:  An allocable share of the Partnership's capital losses
may be used to offset short-term or long-term capital gains realized by a
partner, plus (for taxpayers other than corporations) up to $3,000 ($1,500 in
the case of a married individual filing a separate return) a year of ordinary
income. Generally, noncorporate taxpayers may carry forward, but may not carry
back, unused net capital losses. A noncorporate taxpayer may elect, however, to
carry unused net capital losses from trading in Section 1256 contracts back to
each of the three preceding years to the extent of the capital gain net income
for such preceding year from trading in Section 1256 contracts (or of overall
capital gain net income for the year, if less).
 
     (4) Passive Activity:  The Partnership's income will not be treated as a
"passive activity" for purposes of the limitation on the deduction of passive
activity losses.
 
     (5) Miscellaneous Itemized Deductions:  If the Partnership is treated as
engaged merely in an investment activity (and not in a trade or business), a
limited partner taxed as an individual would be allowed
                                       85
<PAGE>   92
 
a deduction for his share of general partnership expenses (which could include
management fees, incentive fees and legal and audit expenses but not commodity
trading expenses) only to the extent that the total of all of his investment and
other miscellaneous expenses exceeds 2% of his adjusted gross income. Whether
the Partnership will be engaged in a trade or business or in an investment
activity will depend on the extent and nature of the Partnership's trading
activity in any taxable year and could vary from year to year. However, based on
the contemplated extent of trading of the Partnership, the General Partner has
been advised by its legal counsel that the Partnership's activities should be
classified as a trade or business, rather than as an investment activity. It is
often difficult to distinguish among investment, trading and dealership
activities, and it is possible that the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") could
conclude, based on its independent examination of the facts regarding the
Partnership's operations, that the Partnership's transactions constitute dealer
transactions or investing in securities. Such determinations on the part of the
IRS may significantly alter the tax consequences of a limited partner's
investment in the Partnership as described herein.
 
     Section 68 of the Code further limits an individual partner's ability to
deduct certain itemized deductions that otherwise are deductible against taxable
income. Specifically, for regular income tax purposes (but not for alternative
minimum tax purposes), the amount of itemized deductions that non-corporate
partners (other than estates and trusts) having adjusted gross income in excess
of a "threshold" amount (as defined below) will be allowed to deduct is reduced
by an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 3% of such partner's adjusted gross
income or (ii) 80% of the amount of the otherwise allowable itemized deductions
for the taxable year. The "threshold" amount for 1998 is $124,500 ($62,250 for
married persons filing separately). For purposes of Section 68, itemized
deductions are determined after application of the other loss disallowance rules
of the Code and do not include any deductions for medical expenses, investment
interest expense or for certain losses under Section 165(a) of the Code.
 
     (6) Syndication Fees:  Neither the Partnership nor any partner will be
entitled to any deduction for syndication expenses, that is, amounts paid or
incurred in connection with issuing and marketing the Units. There is a risk
that some portion of the brokerage fees to be paid to SB would be treated as a
nondeductible payment by the Partnership of syndication expenses.
 
     (7) Investment Interest:  A noncorporate taxpayer may deduct the total of
all his interest expense incurred or continued to purchase or carry "property
held for investment" only to the extent of his net "investment income" from all
such property he holds. A Unit of the Partnership should be considered "property
held for investment", and the interest expense incurred by a limited partner to
purchase or carry a Unit and such limited partner's distributive share of
Partnership investment interest expense should generally be subject to this
limitation.
 
     The deduction of investment interest that is disallowed under these rules
is not lost permanently but may be claimed as an investment interest deduction
in succeeding taxable years subject to the limitation. A limited partner's net
investment income will not include that portion of investment income derived
from long-term capital gains unless the partner elects to treat such gains as
short-term gains.
 
     Under the Code, a taxpayer may not deduct interest on indebtedness incurred
or continued to purchase or carry obligations, the interest on which is exempt
from tax. In the case of a limited partner owning tax-exempt obligations, the
IRS might take the position that the limited partner's allocable portion of any
interest expense of the Partnership should be viewed in whole or in part as
incurred to enable the limited partner to purchase or carry the tax-exempt
obligations and that the deduction of any interest by the limited partner should
be denied in whole or in part.
 
CAPITAL GAIN
 
     The trading activities of the Partnership will, as a general rule, generate
capital gain and loss, and ordinary income. Partnership transactions would
result in ordinary income if the Partnership were considered to hold property
for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business. The
Partnership does not expect to hold its commodity interests for sale to
customers, and in particular does not expect to effect transactions in physical
commodities (other than spot and forward currency transactions), on a regular
basis. Certain foreign currency transactions could result in ordinary income as
discussed below.
                                       86
<PAGE>   93
 
INTEREST INCOME
 
     SSB will pay interest on a portion of the average daily cash equity in the
brokerage account. Interest paid to the Partnership will be taxable currently to
the limited partners as ordinary income. In addition, any interest earned by an
investor on any subscription amounts that may be held in escrow will also be
taxable as ordinary income to him and should be reported in accordance with his
regular method of accounting.
 
COMMODITY PROVISIONS
 
     The Partnership will engage in speculative trading in commodities,
commodity options and commodity futures contracts on all major United States and
certain foreign commodity exchanges and will trade in forward contracts in
foreign currencies. The Advisors may from time to time employ trading strategies
such as spreads or straddles on behalf of the Partnership. Special tax rules
generally apply to transactions in commodity interests.
 
     (1) Mark-to-Market:  Under the Code, all positions in Section 1256
contracts held by the Partnership at the end of its taxable year will be marked
to their market value, and any unrealized gain or loss on those positions will
be included in the income of the partners as if each position had been sold for
its fair market value on the last day of the Partnership's taxable year. (If,
however, the taxable year of the Partnership is different from the taxable year
of a partner, the operation of the mark-to-market rule is unclear, and the
treatment described herein may be challenged by the IRS.) The General Partner
will mark to market the Partnership's investments as of the end of each month of
the taxable year. Section 1256 contracts generally include (i) regulated futures
contracts ("RFCs"), which are futures contracts traded on regulated United
States (and certain foreign) exchanges (including cash settlement contracts such
as Eurodollar or stock index contracts), (ii) most foreign currency forward
contracts traded in the interbank market (hereinafter "interbank contracts"),
and (iii) domestic (and certain foreign) exchange-traded options on commodities,
including options on RFCs, debt securities and stock indices. Accordingly, it is
expected that the mark-to-market rule will apply to many of the Partnership's
transactions in commodity interests. However, the mark-to-market rules will not
apply to the Partnership's positions in futures contracts on most foreign
exchanges and in foreign currency forward contracts not in the interbank market,
unless the Partnership elects such treatment under the provisions of Code
Section 988, as discussed below. The Partnership intends to make that election
in 1998.
 
     After positions in Section 1256 contracts held by the Partnership at the
end of its taxable year are marked to market, the resulting gain or loss will be
combined with any gain or loss realized by the Partnership from positions in
Section 1256 contracts closed during that year. Provided such positions were
held as capital assets and were not part of a "hedging transaction", nor part of
a "straddle" (see below), 60% of the resulting net gain or loss will be treated
as a long-term capital gain or loss and 40% of such net gain or loss will be
treated as a short-term gain or loss, regardless of the period of time
particular positions were actually held by the Partnership. (However, gain or
loss from positions treated as Section 1256 contracts under the Code Section 988
election provisions, if elected by the Partnership, would be treated entirely as
short-term capital gain or loss.)
 
     (2) Straddles:  If the Partnership incurs a loss upon the disposition of
any position which is part of a "straddle" (i.e., two or more offsetting
positions), recognition of that loss for tax purposes will be deferred until the
Partnership recognizes the gain in the offsetting position of the straddle. This
rule would apply to all of the positions in a straddle which includes one or
more Section 1256 contracts but which does not consist entirely of Section 1256
contracts (a "mixed straddle"), but not to a straddle all of the positions of
which are Section 1256 contracts. (Depending upon whether the Partnership makes
certain elections, the Section 1256 contract components of a mixed straddle may
be treated as not subject to the mark-to-market rules.) This provision would
also apply to the Partnership's positions in futures contracts on most foreign
exchanges and in forward contracts on foreign currency (other than interbank
contracts), which could result in the deferral of deductions for losses
resulting from the disposition of such positions or from the disposition of
Section 1256 contracts which offset those positions. The Partnership can
specifically identify particular positions as being components of a straddle, in
which case a realized loss would be allowable only upon the liquidation of all
of
 
                                       87
<PAGE>   94
 
the components of the identified straddle. The Partnership's trading strategies
may include the use of spreads or straddles, with or without making such
identifications.
 
     Interest and other carrying charges allocable to positions which are part
of a straddle must be capitalized, rather than deducted currently.
 
     (3) Wash and Short Sale Rules:  The "short sale" rules may apply to
positions held by the Partnership so that what might otherwise be characterized
as long-term capital gain would be characterized as short-term capital gain or
potential short-term capital loss as long-term capital loss. Furthermore, "wash
sale" rules, which prevent the recognition of a loss from the sale of a security
where a substantially identical security is (or has been) acquired within a
prescribed time period, also apply where certain offsetting positions (other
than identified straddle positions) are entered into within the prescribed
period.
 
     (4) Section 988:  Currency gain or loss from transactions in (i) bank
forward contracts not traded in the interbank market and (ii) currency futures
contracts traded on a foreign exchange may be treated as ordinary income or loss
under Code Section 988. The Partnership may elect, in effect, to recognize gain
or loss from instruments described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding
sentence under the mark-to-market rules of Code Section 1256. Pursuant to that
election, gain or loss from such positions would be treated entirely as
short-term capital gain or loss. The Partnership will make the election
necessary to gain such treatment if such election is otherwise in the best
interests of the Partnership. The Partnership intends to make the election
necessary to gain such treatment in 1998. If the Partnership does not make the
election, the partners may individually elect to have their share of foreign
currency gain or loss from certain of the Partnership's Section 1256 contracts
treated as ordinary income or loss, rather than 60% long-term and 40% short-term
capital gain or loss.
 
     (5) Partner-Partnership Positions:  It is unclear to what extent the loss
deferral, short sale, capitalization and wash sale rules would apply to
straddles consisting of Partnership transactions and transactions by a partner
in his individual capacity. Each prospective limited partner should review the
application of these rules to his own particular tax situation, with special
regard to the potential interaction between Partnership operations and
commodities transactions entered into by the prospective limited partner in his
individual capacity.
 
APPLICATION OF 'PUBLICLY TRADED PARTNERSHIP' RULES TO THE PARTNERSHIP
 
     Under Code Section 7704, certain publicly traded partnerships are treated
as corporations for federal income tax purposes. Publicly traded partnerships,
as defined in Code Section 7704(b), are partnerships the interests in which are
traded on an established securities market or are readily tradeable on a
secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof).
 
     Even if a partnership is considered to be publicly traded, Code Section
7704(c) provides that such a partnership will not be treated as a corporation
for federal income tax purposes if, as to each taxable year of its existence,
(i) with certain exceptions to be prescribed by forthcoming Treasury
Regulations, the partnership is not required to register under the 1940 Act, and
(ii) at least 90% of its gross income is "qualifying income," such as interest,
dividends, gains from the disposition of stock or securities, and, in the case
of a partnership that has as a principal activity the buying and selling of
commodities and commodity instruments, income and gains from such commodities
transactions.
 
     On the basis of its examination of the Partnership's objectives and trading
policies as described herein, Willkie Farr & Gallagher has concluded that at
least 90% of the annual gross income of the Partnership will consist of
qualifying income, as defined above. Based on that conclusion, the Partnership
could be expected to satisfy the gross income requirement in each of its taxable
years, beginning with the current taxable year. Further, Willkie Farr &
Gallagher has concluded that, so long as the Partnership is engaged primarily in
commodity trading, it will not be required to register under the 1940 Act.
Therefore, the Partnership does not expect to be taxed as a corporation under
Code Section 7704 even if it were to be viewed as publicly traded.
 
     Should the aforementioned facts, assumptions and representations fail to be
accurate for any reason, the IRS may take the position that the Partnership
should be treated as an association taxable as a corporation for
                                       88
<PAGE>   95
 
federal income tax purposes. The continued treatment of the Partnership as a
partnership also is dependent upon existing Code provisions, regulations
promulgated thereunder and administrative interpretations thereof, all of which
are subject to change. Therefore, no assurances can be given that the
Partnership's classification for federal income tax purposes may not be changed
during the term of its existence.
 
PARTNERSHIP AUDIT PROCEDURES
 
     The Partnership's federal income tax information return may be audited.
While partners have certain rights to participate in a partnership audit, some
of these rights are not available to partners owning less than a 1% profit
interest in a partnership with more than 100 partners. Accordingly, a limited
partner may not be able to participate in an audit of the Partnership's
information return, but could nevertheless be bound by a settlement reached in
that audit unless he has filed a timely pre-settlement notice with the Service
stating that he will not be bound by the settlement. An audit of the
Partnership's returns may result in an audit of a limited partner's tax return
and lead to adjustments of income and loss unrelated to an investment in the
Partnership.
 
REDEMPTION OF UNITS
 
     To the extent of his tax basis in his Units, cash distributed to a limited
partner by the Partnership upon redemption of Units will constitute a return of
capital that will not be reportable as taxable income, but will reduce his tax
basis in his Units. To the extent that cash distributions exceed a limited
partner's tax basis in his Units, an event which should only arise upon
redemption, such distributions will be taxable to him as gain from the sale or
exchange of the Units. Upon complete redemption of all of a limited partner's
Units, the limited partner may recognize loss to the extent of any unrecovered
basis in the redeemed Units. If the limited partner is not a "dealer" with
respect to the Units and has held his Units for more than one year, any gain or
loss on their redemption will be long-term capital gain or loss.
 
BROKER REPORTING AND BACKUP WITHHOLDING
 
     The subscription documents require each prospective investor in the
Partnership to furnish the investor's "taxpayer identification number." If the
number furnished is not correct, the investor may be subject to penalties
imposed by the Service and payments to the investor in redemption of Units (and,
possibly, other Partnership distributions) may become subject to 31% backup
withholding.
 
     The Partnership is not required to treat either its commodities
transactions or redemptions of Units as requiring separate reporting to
investors under Code Section 6045, since the information required to be
furnished by that section is identical to that furnished to each investor on
Schedule K-1 of Form 1065. The same information will be furnished to the IRS on
Form 1065. Accordingly, investors will not receive separate Forms 1099-B with
respect to such transactions.
 
ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX
 
     The alternative minimum tax for individuals is imposed on "alternative
minimum taxable income" ("AMTI") in excess of an exemption amount of $33,750
($45,000 for married individuals filing a joint return and $22,500 for married
individuals filing separate returns). A 26% rate applies to the first $175,000
of a taxpayer's AMTI in excess of the exemption amount, and a 28% rate applies
to AMTI more than $175,000 above the exemption amount. The exemption amount is
phased out at a rate of 25 cents on the dollar for AMTI in excess of $112,500
($150,000 for married individuals filing a joint return and $75,000 for married
individuals filing separate returns). AMTI consists of taxable income determined
with certain adjustments and increased by the amount of items of tax preference.
AMTI may not be offset by certain interest deductions, including (in certain
circumstances) interest incurred to purchase or carry Units in the Partnership.
Corporations are also subject to an alternative minimum tax.

<PAGE>   96
 
                   TAX CONSEQUENCES FOR EXEMPT ORGANIZATIONS
 
     The following is a brief summary of the federal income tax consequences to
entities otherwise exempt from such tax (such as employee benefit plans,
individual retirement plans, individual retirement accounts and charitable
organizations) ("Exempt Organizations").
 
     In general, an investment in the Partnership is not expected to result in
"unrelated business income." If, however, any portion of an Exempt
Organization's allocable share of Partnership income is treated as "unrelated
business taxable income", the Exempt Organization will be liable for a tax on
that amount (plus all other unrelated business taxable income for the taxable
year), minus applicable modifications and deductions, at the rates applicable to
corporations.
 
     Unrelated business income includes certain income derived from
"debt-financed property." Such "debt-financed property" generally will include
securities purchased on margin. However, the IRS has stated in private rulings
that margin accounts maintained with respect to certain commodities trading do
not create indebtedness and therefore such commodities traded on margin do not
constitute "debt-financed property." However, there is no published authority
for this view, private rulings have no value as precedent and the Partnership
will not seek a ruling from the IRS on this issue. Therefore, there is a risk
that the Partnership's income could be viewed as generated from debt-financed
property and would therefore constitute unrelated business income.
 
     If the Partnership were to purchase physical commodities with borrowed
funds (whether upon delivery under a futures or forward contract or otherwise)
and to sell those commodities at a gain, such gain would likely constitute
unrelated business income. The Partnership is entitled to engage in such
leveraged purchases of physical commodities. See "Trading Policies."
 
                          STATE, LOCAL AND OTHER TAXES
 
     In addition to federal income taxes, limited partners may be subject to
other taxes, such as state or local income taxes, and estate, inheritance or
intangible property taxes which may be imposed by various jurisdictions. A
non-New York corporate limited partner that is not otherwise subject to New York
State or New York City taxation may become subject to the New York State
Corporate Franchise Tax and the New York City General Corporate Tax. The current
minimum New York State corporate franchise tax ranges between $1,500 and $325,
based on gross payroll, and the tax liability could be greater depending on the
application of alternate statutory formulas for determining the amount of the
corporate partner's net income that is allocable to New York State. The current
minimum General Corporate Tax is $300, although the actual tax liability could
be greater depending on how the corporate partner's income is allocated to New
York City.
 
     In general, such non-New York corporate limited partners will be subject to
the Franchise Tax and the General Corporate Tax on their income allocable to New
York unless (1) at least 90% of the Partnership's gross income is from
dividends, interest, securities loans and gains from the sale of stock or
securities or foreign currencies, or other income (including but not limited to
income and gains from commodities and gains from options, futures, or forward
contracts) derived with respect to the Partnership's investments in stock,
securities or currencies, or (2) such partner's partnership interest is less
than 1% or the tax basis in the interest does not exceed $1,000,000. While the
Partnership expects to satisfy the 90% income test described above, no assurance
can be given as to whether an investment in the Partnership will create a
Franchise Tax or a General Corporate Tax liability. Non-New York corporate
limited partners that are subject to New York taxes solely as a result of their
investment in the Partnership may make an irrevocable election to be subject to
New York taxes only on their share of Partnership income allocable to New York.
 
     The Partnership expects to take the position that it trades for its own
account and is exempt from the New York City Unincorporated Business Tax.
 
     Each prospective limited partner should consult his own tax counsel with
regard to state, local and other taxes.

                SUMMARY OF THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX
                      CONSEQUENCES FOR NON-U.S. TAXPAYERS
 
     A non-resident alien individual, foreign corporation or foreign partnership
not otherwise engaged in a United States trade or business or acting as a dealer
in commodities will not be deemed to be engaged in a United States trade or
business by virtue of an investment as a limited partner in the Partnership.
Capital gains earned by the Partnership and allocated to such a foreign limited
partner will, as a general rule, not be subject to United States federal income
taxation or withholding, but may be subject to taxation by the jurisdiction in
which such foreign limited partner is resident, organized or operating. Interest
income earned by the Partnership on its margin account with SSB and interest
earned by limited partners on escrow deposits will, as a general rule, likewise
not be subject to the United States federal income tax or withholding, but may
be subject to tax in other jurisdictions to which such foreign limited partner
is connected. Prospective foreign limited partners who are engaged in a United
States trade or business or who act as dealers in commodities may be subject to
United States income tax and should consult their tax advisors before investing
in the Partnership.
 
                     BASIS OF SUMMARY OF INCOME TAX ASPECTS
 
     Except as otherwise set forth, the foregoing statements regarding the
federal income tax consequences to partners of an investment in the Partnership
are based upon the provisions of the Code as currently in effect and the
existing administrative and judicial interpretations thereunder. No assurance
can be given that administrative, judicial or legislative changes (other than
those discussed above) will not occur that would make the foregoing statements
incorrect or incomplete. Further, the foregoing discussion is not intended as a
substitute for careful tax planning, particularly since certain of the income
tax consequences of an investment in the Partnership may not be the same for all
taxpayers. Accordingly, prospective investors in the Partnership are urged to
consult their tax advisers with specific reference to their own tax situation
under federal law and the provisions of applicable state, local and municipal
laws before subscribing for Units.
 
                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
     The Units are offered by the Partnership through its selling agent, SSB,
pursuant to a Selling Agreement between the Partnership and SSB. SSB may permit
other member firms of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
("NASD") and certain foreign brokers to participate in the offering. The Units
will be offered on a best efforts basis without any firm underwriting commitment
(so that neither SSB nor any other underwriter has agreed to purchase any
Units). See "Risk Factors -- Sales and Distribution Risks -- No Assurance That
Units Will Be Sold." The Partnership will pay no selling commissions to SSB or
any such members. The General Partner is an affiliate of SSB. SSB receives
brokerage fees from the Partnership in its capacity as commodity broker/dealer
for the Partnership. Such fees may be deemed to be underwriting compensation.
SSB pays a portion of its brokerage fees to its Financial Consultants who sell
Units in the offering. Any additional firm (other than a foreign broker who
offers solely to non-U.S. clients) selected by SSB that receives continuing
compensation in the form of a portion of the commodity brokerage fees paid by
the Partnership will be registered with the NFA as a futures commission merchant
or an introducing broker. Further, any associated person of SSB or such other
firm who receives continuing compensation in the form of a portion of the
commodity brokerage fees paid by the Partnership will be registered with the NFA
as an associated person of a futures commission merchant or an introducing
broker (qualified as an associated person by having taken the Series 3 or 31
Commodities Exam or having been "grandfathered" as an associated person
qualified to do commodity brokerage). In connection with the sale of Units, SSB
may implement sales incentive and promotional programs for its Financial
Consultants who sell Units. Such programs may offer Financial Consultants bonus
compensation and/or gift items based on sales of Units. No such programs will be
offered to Financial Consultants unaffiliated with SSB. SSB will submit any
proposed sales incentive program to the NASD for approval prior to its
implementation. In no event will the total compensation paid to SSB, its
employees and any participating member firms in connection with the distribution
of Units exceed 10% of the proceeds of the offering. (For this purpose, "total
compensation" does not include brokerage fees.)
 
                                       91
<PAGE>   98
 
     Units will be offered at $1,000 for a period of 90 days from the date
hereof, subject to earlier termination or to extension for a period of up to an
additional 60 days by the General Partner acting in its sole discretion and for
any reason. Units offered after the Initial Offering Period will be sold at Net
Asset Value per Unit as of the end of each quarter, until the earlier of the
sale of all 100,000 Units and two years from the date of this Prospectus (the
"Continuous Offering"). The initial Net Asset Value per Unit will be $1,000. Net
Asset Value per Unit may increase or decrease after the Initial Offering Period.
The General Partner may determine to increase the number of Units offered, not
to sell Units in a particular quarter (as a result of extraordinary
circumstances in which the Advisors (or potential Advisors) are unable to accept
additional assets) or to register additional Units in a subsequent offering. All
subscriptions will be held in an escrow account by European American Bank, New
York, New York until the end of the Initial Offering Period or after trading
commences, the first day of the quarter beginning at least 6 days after receipt
of the subscription, on which day subscription funds will be transferred to the
Partnership's trading accounts at SSB. If subscriptions for 15,000 or more Units
have been received and accepted by the General Partner upon the termination of
the Initial Offering Period, the subscriptions held in escrow will be
transferred to the Partnership, and it will commence futures trading. If
subscriptions for fewer than 15,000 Units have been received and accepted by the
General Partner by the termination of the Initial Offering Period, then the full
amount of all subscriptions will be promptly returned to subscribers within four
business days, together with a proportionate share of any earned interest. If
the General Partner, in its sole discretion, determines not to offer Units
during a particular quarter in the Continuous Offering, subscriptions will
remain in escrow until the beginning of the next quarter on which sales will be
effective. Subscribers will be paid a pro rata share of the interest earned on
the subscriptions during the escrow period. The General Partner may permit
purchases more frequently than quarterly in its sole discretion on the advice of
counsel that applicable regulations would permit more frequent sales.
 
     Because Net Asset Value fluctuates daily, during the Continuous Offering
subscribers will not know the purchase price of their Units at the time their
subscription is made. Similarly, Limited Partners will not know the redemption
value of their Units at the time their notice of redemption is submitted. Final
month-end Net Asset Value per Unit is determined approximately 10 business days
after the month-end. Net Asset Value, or Net Assets, is defined as the total
assets of the Partnership including all cash, plus Treasury securities at
accrued interest and the market value of all open commodity positions maintained
by the Partnership less brokerage charges accrued and less all other liabilities
of the Partnership, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles under the accrual basis of accounting.
 
     The General Partner, acting in the best interests of the limited partners,
may at any time select a different escrow agent, provided that such escrow agent
is not affiliated with the General Partner or SSB. Any such escrow agent would
be directed by the General Partner to invest subscriptions in legally
permissible interest bearing investments including direct United States
government obligations, certificates of deposit or bank money market accounts.
However, since such investments carry different minimum dollar amounts and
varying interest rates, the amount of interest, if any, that will be earned on a
subscription cannot be calculated.
 
     The General Partner may reject any subscription for any reason within a
reasonable time. During the Continuous Offering, a subscriber may revoke his
subscription if the General Partner determines not to offer Units as of the end
of a quarter.
 
                            INVESTMENT REQUIREMENTS
 
     The minimum initial investment in the Partnership is $5,000 except that
investments by employee-benefit plans may be made for a minimum of $2,000
(subject to higher minimums in certain states). See Exhibit C hereto and "ERISA
Considerations". Investors who are already limited partners may purchase
additional Units with a minimum of $1,000 (except in Maine, where the minimum
additional subscription will be $5,000).
 
     Each investor must represent and warrant in the Subscription Agreement
attached hereto as Exhibit B that he either has (i) a net worth of at least
$150,000 (exclusive of home, furnishings and automobiles) or
 
                                       92
<PAGE>   99
 
(ii) a net worth of at least $45,000 and an annual income of $45,000. Certain
states have higher suitability requirements which are set forth in Exhibit C to
this Prospectus.
 
     BY EXECUTING THE SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT, INVESTORS ARE NOT WAIVING ANY
RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.
 
     Each investor, by executing and returning the Subscription Agreement,
represents and warrants that (1) he has received a copy of the Prospectus as
appropriately supplemented; (2) he meets all applicable suitability standards as
set forth in the Prospectus as appropriately supplemented; (3) he consents to
the execution and delivery of a Customer Agreement between SSB and the
Partnership and to the payment to SSB of fees as described in the Prospectus;
and, (4) if he is not a citizen or resident of the United States for federal
income tax purposes, that he is not a dealer in commodities and he agrees to pay
or reimburse the General Partner or SSB for any taxes imposed as a result of his
status as a limited partner.
 
     All of the representations and warranties are primarily intended to assure
and confirm that the investor is fully aware of and understands the elements of
the Partnership's structure and operation prior to making his investment. In
addition, they are intended to enable the Partnership, the General Partner and
SSB to comply with certain requirements under the Commodity Exchange Act and
various state securities laws.
 
     In addition, each of Representations (1) through (3) above is intended to
foreclose to the investor the possibility of alleging the opposite of such
representation and warranty in litigation by the investor against the General
Partner, the Partnership or SSB. The General Partner, the Partnership and SSB
would rely on such representations and warranties to respond to arguments made
to the contrary in the event of such litigation.
 
     Representation (4) is intended to require a non-U.S. investor subject to
that representation to be responsible for any taxes imposed as a result of that
investor's status as a limited partner and enable the Partnership and General
Partner to comply with federal tax laws. Each investor must also be either a
citizen or a resident of the United States for U.S. tax purposes or must agree
to reimburse SSB or the Partnership for any taxes, including but not limited to
withholding tax, incurred in connection with the investor's interest in the
Partnership. See "Income Tax Aspects -- Summary of United States Federal Income
Tax Consequences for Non-U.S. Taxpayers."
 
     The General Partner may reject a subscription for any reason within a
reasonable time (within four business days of receipt of payment by the General
Partner).
 
     POTENTIAL INVESTORS SHOULD CONSIDER THE UNITS AS A LONG-TERM (AT LEAST TWO
YEAR) INVESTMENT TO PERMIT THE TRADING METHODS TO BE EMPLOYED IN MANAGING THE
PARTNERSHIP'S INVESTMENTS TO FUNCTION OVER A SIGNIFICANT PERIOD OF TIME. SEE
"RISK FACTORS -- COMMODITY TRADING RISKS -- COMMODITY TRADING IS SPECULATIVE",
"RISK FACTORS -- COMMODITY TRADING RISKS -- RISKS INHERENT IN TRADING
STRATEGIES" AND THE DISCUSSION OF EACH ADVISOR'S TRADING STRATEGY IN "THE
ADVISORS".
 
                             SUBSCRIPTION PROCEDURE
 
     In order to purchase Units, an investor must complete and execute a copy of
the Subscription Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B and deliver and/or mail
the Subscription Agreement to any branch office of SSB or another selling agent.
 
     Payment for subscriptions may be made by the subscriber authorizing his
Financial Consultant to debit his SSB account for a minimum of $5,000 (or for a
minimum of $2,000 for subscriptions made by employee-benefit plans). During the
Continuous Offering, $5,000 will purchase a number of Units determined by their
Net Asset Value as of the effective date of the purchase (the first day of the
quarter beginning at least 6 days after receipt and acceptance of the
subscription). The General Partner may determine not to offer Units during any
particular quarter. Subscribers who authorize SSB to debit their securities
account must have their subscription payment in their account on the specified
settlement date and such account will be debited on the settlement date which
will occur not later than five business days following notification to SSB and
the subscriber of the acceptance of the subscription. That notification will
occur within a reasonable time.
 
                                       93
<PAGE>   100
 
     Subscribers who do not maintain an account with SSB should consult their
brokers for instructions as to payment. Such payment will be made either by
debiting such subscriber's securities account in the manner described herein or
by delivery to the broker of a check made payable to European American Bank,
Escrow Agent for GDFF, Subscribers' Escrow Account No. 002-067155.
 
                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
     The net proceeds to the Partnership from this offering are estimated at
$100,000,000 assuming that all 100,000 Units were sold during the Initial
Offering Period at $1,000 per Unit. No selling commissions or organizational and
offering expenses related to the Initial Offering Period will be paid by the
Partnership. As used in this Prospectus, organizational and offering expenses
include legal and accounting fees, marketing and printing expenses, escrow
charges and filing, registration and recording fees. Such offering and
organizational expenses are estimated at $700,000 for the registration of Units
included in this Prospectus. These expenses of the Initial Offering Period (plus
interest at the prime rate) are to be paid initially by SSB and will be
reimbursed by the Partnership in 24 equal monthly installments beginning with
the month in which trading begins. The Partnership is responsible for the
expenses of the Continuous Offering. In no event will such expenses exceed 15%
of the total amount of the offering. Escrow charges consist of the following:
(i) a $2,500 fee per escrow account, (ii) all maintenance fees incurred in the
cost of operating the bank money market account, (iii) a wire charge of
$5.00-$22.00 and (iv) miscellaneous distributions and subscription charges.
 
     The proceeds from the offering will be deposited in the Partnership's
commodity trading accounts at SSB and will be used for trading in commodity
futures contracts, forward contracts and other commodity interests in accordance
with the trading techniques and policies described under the captions "Trading
Policies" and "The Advisors." See also "Risk Factors -- Commodity Trading
Risks." All of the assets of the Partnership are maintained in cash and
segregated as customer funds under the CEA, except that margin with respect to
certain non-U.S. futures and options transactions are maintained in separate
secured amount accounts at U.S. banks not affiliated with the General Partner as
required by CFTC regulations. The General Partner estimates that approximately
80-95% of the Partnership's assets will be segregated as customer funds. The
Partnership's funds held in connection with contracts on U.S. contract markets
that are priced and settled in a foreign currency may be held in accounts
denominated in a foreign currency with a depository located outside the United
States or its territories, although SSB currently does not intend to do so. See
"Risk Factors." SSB will deposit the assets of the Partnership (other than
margin for non-U.S. futures and options) in segregated bank accounts as required
by the CFTC. The banks will not pay interest on such accounts. However, SSB will
pay monthly interest to the Partnership on 80% of the average daily equity
maintained in cash in the Partnership's account at SSB during each month (i.e.,
the sum of the daily cash balances in such accounts divided by the total number
of calendar days in that month) at a 30-day Treasury bill rate determined weekly
by SSB based on the average non-competitive yield on 3-month U.S. Treasury bills
maturing in 30 days (or on the maturity date closest thereto) from the date on
which such weekly rate is determined. Such interest will be paid from SSB's own
funds. The interest paid by SSB to the Partnership will be credited to the
Partnership's accounts at SSB monthly and consequently will be available to the
Partnership for trading purposes. The Partnership will make no loans. The assets
of the Partnership will not be commingled with the assets of any other entity,
nor used as margin for any other account. Deposit of assets with a commodity
broker as margin shall not constitute commingling. The Partnership estimates
that its margin-to-equity ratio will generally be in the range of 10% to 40%.
 
                       THE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
 
     This Prospectus contains an explanation of the material terms and
provisions of the Limited Partnership Agreement, a copy of which is attached as
Exhibit A hereto and is incorporated herein by this reference. Each prospective
investor should read this summary and the Limited Partnership Agreement
thoroughly before investing. The following description is a summary only and is
not intended to be complete.
 
                                       94
<PAGE>   101
 
LIABILITY OF LIMITED PARTNERS
 
     The Partnership was formed on June 15, 1998 under the laws of the State of
New York. Under the New York Revised Limited Partnership Act ("New York Act"),
only a Limited Partner's capital contribution to the Partnership, and its share
of assets and undistributed profits, are subject to the risks of the
Partnership's business. Under the New York Act, a limited partner is otherwise
entitled to limited liability and is not responsible for the Partnership's
obligations if its activities in connection with the business of the Partnership
are limited to the exercise by it, in accordance with the provisions of the
Limited Partnership Agreement, of the rights granted it therein. Certain states
where the Partnership anticipates doing business have statutes providing for the
same limitations on limited partner liability, but in those states that do not
have such statutes and where judicial precedents are unclear, a limited partner
may not have the benefit of such limitations. Under the New York Act, if a
limited partner participates in the control of the Partnership's business, which
it is prohibited from doing by the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement,
it may lose the limitation of liability afforded by the New York Act and become
liable as a general partner to persons who transact business with the
Partnership reasonably believing, based upon the limited partner's conduct, that
the limited partner is a general partner.
 
     Section 121-607 of the New York Act prohibits a limited partnership from
making a distribution to a partner to the extent that, at the time of the
distribution and after giving effect thereto, all liabilities of the limited
partnership (other than liabilities to partners on account of their partnership
interests and liabilities for which the recourse of creditors is limited to
specified property of the limited partnership) exceed the fair value of the
assets of the limited partnership. For purposes of this limitation, the fair
value of property that is subject to a liability for which recourse of creditors
is limited is included in the assets of a limited partnership only to the extent
that the fair value of the property exceeds that liability. Under the New York
Act, a limited partner who received such a prohibited distribution and who knew
that the distribution violated the New York Act is liable to the limited
partnership for the amount of the distribution for a period of three years from
the date of the distribution. This section of the New York Act does not affect
any obligation or liability of a limited partner under the Limited Partnership
Agreement or other applicable law (including relevant fraudulent conveyance
acts) for the amount of a distribution.
 
MANAGEMENT OF PARTNERSHIP AFFAIRS
 
     The limited partners will not participate in the management or control of
the Partnership. Under the Limited Partnership Agreement, responsibility for
managing the Partnership is vested solely in the General Partner. The General
Partner may select one or more trading advisors to direct all trading for the
Partnership. Other responsibilities of the General Partner include, but are not
limited to, the following: determining whether the Partnership will make
distributions of profits to partners; administering redemptions of limited
partners' Units; preparing monthly and annual reports to the limited partners;
preparing and filing necessary reports with regulatory authorities; calculating
the Net Asset Value; executing various documents on behalf of the Partnership
and the limited partners pursuant to powers of attorney; and supervising the
liquidation of the Partnership if an event causing dissolution of the
Partnership occurs.
 
     The Limited Partnership Agreement requires the General Partner to cause the
Partnership to dissolve at any time that Net Asset Value per Unit falls below
$400 as of the end of a trading day.
 
SHARING OF PROFITS AND LOSSES
 
     Partnership Accounting.  Each partner will have a capital account, and its
initial balance will be the amount he paid for his Units or, in the case of the
General Partner, its capital contribution (which shall be treated as Units of
General Partnership Interest). Any increase or decrease in the Net Assets of the
Partnership will be allocated among the partners on a monthly basis and will be
added to or subtracted from the accounts of the partners in the ratio that each
account bears to all accounts. The General Partner is not personally liable for
return of capital contributions or profits to the limited partners.
 
     Federal Tax Allocations.  At the end of each fiscal year the Partnership's
realized capital gain or loss, aggregate capital gain or loss resulting from the
monthly mark-to-market system, and ordinary income or loss,
                                       95
<PAGE>   102
 
will be allocated among the partners, and each partner will be required to
include in his personal income tax return his share of such items. Allocations
will be pro rata for short-term capital gain or loss, long-term capital gain or
loss, and net ordinary income or loss realized by the Partnership; however, each
partner's share of the Partnership's capital gain or loss from "Section 1256
Contracts" and certain other contracts for tax purposes will be determined by
marking to market the Partnership's investments as of the end of each month of
the taxable year and by allocating the resulting gain or loss to those partners
who were partners during the month to which such gain or loss relates.
 
     For any limited partner who redeems or acquires Units during any fiscal
year, his proportionate share of the capital gain or loss and ordinary income
and loss will be that which was realized by the Partnership during the period
that such Units were owned by such limited partner. Transfers or assignments of
Units will be effective as of the first day of the month following the month in
which notice of such transfer or assignment is given to the General Partner. For
purposes of determining the Net Asset Value of Units, gains and losses will be
allocated among those persons who are partners when unrealized gains or losses
occur due to changes in the value of open positions. For federal income tax
purposes, gains and losses are allocated among those who are partners when
positions are closed and the gains or losses are realized. Therefore, if a
partner's proportionate interest in the Partnership should increase, as a result
of redemptions of Units by other partners, between the time an unrealized gain
occurs and the time the gain is realized by the Partnership, the partner's share
of taxable gain for the fiscal year may exceed his economic gain as reflected in
the Net Asset Value of his Units.
 
     Upon dissolution of the Partnership, (and after satisfaction of all
liabilities of the Partnership), the assets of the Partnership will be
distributed to each partner in the ratio that his capital account bears to the
capital accounts of all partners.
 
ADDITIONAL PARTNERS
 
     The General Partner has the sole discretion to determine whether to offer
for sale additional Units and to admit additional limited partners. There is no
limitation on the number of Units which may be outstanding at any time. All
Units offered by the Partnership after commencement of trading operations must
be sold at the Partnership's then current Net Asset Value per Unit (plus selling
commissions, if any). The General Partner may make arrangements for the sale of
additional Units or partial Units in the future. See "Plan of Distribution". The
General Partner may also consent to the admission of any assignee of Units as a
substituted limited partner.
 
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT
 
     The Limited Partnership Agreement provides that a limited partner may
assign his Units upon notice to the General Partner. No assignment of Units will
be effective against the Partnership or the General Partner until the
commencement of the next month after the General Partner receives such notice.
Without the consent of the General Partner (which consent may be withheld at its
sole and absolute discretion for the purpose of preserving the Partnership's tax
status or to avoid adverse legal consequences to the Partnership), no assignee
may become a substituted limited partner. An assignee who becomes a substituted
limited partner will be subject to all of the rights and liabilities of a
limited partner of the Partnership. An assignee who does not become a
substituted limited partner will be entitled to receive the share of the profits
or the return of capital to which his assignor would otherwise be entitled, but
will not be entitled to vote, to an accounting of Partnership transactions, to
receive tax information, or to inspect the books and records of the Partnership.
Under the New York Act, an assigning limited partner remains liable to the
Partnership for any amounts for which he may be liable under such law regardless
of whether any assignee to whom he has assigned Units becomes a substituted
limited partner.
 
DISSOLUTION OF THE PARTNERSHIP
 
     The Partnership shall dissolve and its affairs shall be wound up as soon as
practicable upon the first to occur of the following: (i) December 31, 2018;
(ii) the vote to dissolve the Partnership by limited partners owning more than
50% of the Units; (iii) assignment by the General Partner of all of its interest
in the
 
                                       96
<PAGE>   103
 
Partnership or withdrawal, removal, bankruptcy or any other event that causes
the General Partner to cease to be a general partner under the New York Act
unless the Partnership is continued as described in the Limited Partnership
Agreement; (iv) Net Asset Value per Unit falls to less than $400 as of the end
of any trading day; or (v) the occurrence of any event which shall make it
unlawful for the existence of the Partnership to be continued, such as the entry
of a decree of judicial dissolution.
 
REMOVAL OR ADMISSION OF GENERAL PARTNER
 
     The General Partner may be removed and successor general partners may be
admitted upon the vote of a majority of the outstanding Units.
 
AMENDMENTS; MEETINGS
 
     The Limited Partnership Agreement may be amended if approved in writing by
the General Partner and limited partners owning more than 50% of the outstanding
Units. The General Partner may amend the Limited Partnership Agreement without
the consent of the Limited Partners in order to (i) clarify any clerical
inaccuracy or ambiguity or reconcile any inconsistency (including any
inconsistency between the Limited Partnership Agreement and the Prospectus);
(ii) delete or add any provision of or to the Limited Partnership Agreement
required to be deleted or added by the staff of any federal or state agency; or
(iii) make any amendment to the Limited Partnership Agreement which the General
Partner deems advisable (including but not limited to amendments necessary to
effect the allocations proposed herein or to change the name of the Partnership)
provided that such amendment is not adverse to the Limited Partners, or is
required by law. Any Units purchased by the General Partner, the Advisors or
their affiliates will not be entitled to any of the voting rights to which such
Units would otherwise be entitled under Section 17 of the Limited Partnership
Agreement, except as required by law. Limited partners are entitled to vote by
proxy.
 
     Any limited partner, upon written request addressed to the General Partner,
may obtain from the General Partner a list of the names and addresses of record
of all limited partners and the number of Units held by each limited partner.
Upon receipt of a written request delivered in person or by certified mail,
signed by limited partners owning at least 10% of the outstanding Units, that a
meeting of the Partnership be called to consider any matter upon which limited
partners may vote pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreement, the General
Partner, by written notice to each limited partner of record mailed within 15
days after such receipt, must call a meeting of the Partnership. Such meeting
must be held at least 30 but not more than 60 days after the mailing of such
notice and the notice must specify the date, a reasonable time and place, and
the purpose of such meeting.
 
     At any such meeting, upon the approval by an affirmative vote of limited
partners owning more than 50% of the Units, the following actions may be taken:
(i) the Limited Partnership Agreement may, with certain exceptions, be amended;
(ii) the Partnership may be dissolved; (iii) the General Partner may be removed
and a new general partner may be admitted immediately prior to the removal of
the General Partner provided that the new general partner shall continue the
business of the Partnership without dissolution; (iv) a new general partner or
general partners may be admitted if the General Partner elects to withdraw from
the Partnership immediately prior to the withdrawal of the General Partner,
provided that the new general partner shall continue the business of the
Partnership without dissolution; (v) any contracts with the General Partner or
any of its affiliates or any trading advisor may be terminated without penalty
on 60 days' notice; and (vi) the sale of all assets of the Partnership may be
approved.
 
REPORTS TO LIMITED PARTNERS
 
     The books and records of the Partnership will be maintained at its
principal office and the limited partners have the right at all times during
reasonable business hours to have access to and copy the Partnership's books and
records. Within 30 days of the end of each month, the General Partner will
provide the limited partners with a financial report containing information
relating to the Net Assets and Net Asset Value of a Unit as of the end of such
month as well as such other information relating to the operations of the
Partnership which is required to be reported to the limited partners by CFTC
regulations. In addition, if any of the following events
 
                                       97
<PAGE>   104
 
occur, notice thereof will be mailed to each limited partner within seven
business days of such occurrence: a decrease in the Net Asset Value of a Unit to
50% or less of the Net Asset Value most recently reported; a decrease in assets
maintained in cash to 50% or less of the amount most recently reported; any
change in advisors; any change in commodity brokers; any change of the General
Partner; any material change in the Partnership's trading policies or any
material change in an advisor's trading strategies. In addition, a certified
annual report of financial condition will be distributed to the limited partners
not more than 90 days after the close of the Partnership's fiscal year. Not more
than 75 days after the close of the fiscal year, tax information necessary for
the preparation of the limited partners' annual federal income tax returns will
be distributed to the limited partners.
 
POWER OF ATTORNEY
 
     To facilitate the execution of various documents by the General Partner on
behalf of the Partnership and the limited partners, the limited partners will
appoint the General Partner, with power of substitution, their attorney-in-fact
by executing a Subscription Agreement (including the Power of Attorney) attached
hereto as Exhibit B. Such documents include, without limitation, the Limited
Partnership Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership and amendments
and/or restatements thereto, and customer agreements with SB.
 
INDEMNIFICATION
 
     The Limited Partnership Agreement provides that with respect to any action
in which the General Partner or any of its affiliates is a party because of its
relationship to the Partnership, the Partnership shall indemnify and hold
harmless such person, subject to receipt of an independent legal opinion
regarding the applicable standard of conduct, against any loss, liability,
expense (including attorneys' and accountants' fees), judgments and amounts paid
in settlement, incurred by it in connection with such action, if the indemnified
person acted in good faith, the course of conduct which caused the loss or
liability was in the best interests of the Partnership, the General Partner (or
its affiliate) was acting on behalf of or providing services for the Partnership
and if such actions did not involve negligence or misconduct. No indemnification
of the General Partner or its affiliates is permitted for losses resulting from
a violation of the Securities Act of 1933 or any State securities law. In
addition, no indemnification of the General Partner or its affiliates may be
made in connection with any action against them if it would be inconsistent with
the New York Act.
 
                                  REDEMPTIONS
 
     Beginning at the end of six full months after the commencement of trading,
a limited partner may cause some or all of his Units to be redeemed by the
Partnership at the Net Asset Value thereof as of the last day of a month ending
at least 3 months after those Units were issued (the "Redemption Date") on 10
days' notice to the General Partner. No fee is charged for redemptions. Because
Net Asset Value fluctuates daily, Limited Partners will not know the Net Asset
Value applicable to their redemption at the time a notice of redemption is
submitted. Payment for the redeemed Units will be made within 10 business days
following the Redemption Date by crediting the investor's SSB account. The Net
Asset Value of a Unit is defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement to equal
the Net Assets of the Partnership divided by the number of units of limited and
general partnership interest outstanding. Net Assets of the Partnership is
defined to mean the total assets of the Partnership, including all cash,
Treasury Bills, accrued interest and the market value of all open commodity
positions, less all liabilities of the Partnership, determined in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. For the purpose of a redemption,
any accrued liability for reimbursement of offering and organizational expenses
for the Initial Offering Period will not reduce Net Asset Value per Unit. The
General Partner reserves the right to permit the redemption of Units more
frequently than monthly (but no more frequently than daily), provided that such
action is in the best interest of the Partnership taking into account potential
tax consequences to Limited Partners.
 
     Except as set forth below, all requests for redemption will be honored, and
the Partnership's positions in commodity contracts will be liquidated to the
extent necessary to effect redemptions. The right to redeem is contingent upon
the Partnership having property sufficient to discharge its liabilities on the
Redemption Date
 
                                       98
<PAGE>   105
 
and upon receipt by the General Partner of a written or oral request for
redemption at least 10 days prior to the Redemption Date. The General Partner
may temporarily suspend redemptions if necessary in order to liquidate positions
in an orderly manner. No partial redemptions are permitted if after giving
effect to the redemption a Limited Partner would own fewer than three Units.
 
     Federal income tax aspects of redemptions are described under "Income Tax
Aspects". Under New York law, a limited partner who has received a distribution
upon redemption of Units may under certain circumstances be liable for any
amount, not exceeding the amount of such distribution. See "The Limited
Partnership Agreement -- Liability of Limited Partners."
 
                              ERISA CONSIDERATIONS
 
     The Units in the Partnership which are offered hereby may be purchased by
employee benefit plans subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended ("ERISA"), and/or Section 4975 of the Code. The phrase
"employee benefit plan" refers to plans of various types including corporate
pension and profit-sharing plans (including 401(k) plans), "simplified employee
pension plans," so-called "Keogh" (H.R. 10) plans for self-employed individuals,
including partners, and "individual retirement accounts" or "IRAs" (including
"Roth IRAs") for persons (including employees and self-employed persons) who
receive compensation income.
 
     Notwithstanding the general requirement that investors in the Partnership
must invest a minimum of $5,000, a minimum investment of $2,000 has been set for
qualified employee benefit plans (see "Investment Requirements"). Greater
minimum purchases may be mandated by the securities laws and regulations of
certain states, and investors should consult the Subscription Agreement which is
attached as Exhibit B to this Prospectus and any supplement affixed hereto to
determine the requirements applicable to them.
 
     Units may not be purchased by an employee benefit plan if the selling agent
or its Financial Consultants, the General Partner or their affiliates (a)
exercise any discretionary authority or discretionary control respecting
management of such employee benefit plan, (b) exercise any authority or control
respecting management or disposition of the assets of such employee benefit
plan, (c) render investment advice for a fee or other compensation, direct or
indirect, with respect to any moneys or other property of such employee benefit
plan, (d) have any authority or responsibility to render investment advice with
respect to any moneys or other property of such employee benefit plan, or (e)
have any discretionary authority or discretionary responsibility in the
administration of such employee benefit plan. For the purposes of this
paragraph, "investment advice" shall mean rendering investment advice as to the
value of securities or other property, or making recommendations as to the
advisability of investing in, directly or indirectly, and either (i) having
discretionary authority or control, whether or not pursuant to an agreement,
arrangement or understanding, with respect to purchasing or selling securities
or other property for the plan, or (ii) rendering such investment advice on a
regular basis to the employee benefit plan pursuant to a mutual agreement,
arrangement or understanding, written or otherwise, between such person and the
employee benefit plan or a fiduciary with respect to such employee benefit plan,
that such services will serve as a primary basis for investment decisions with
respect to assets of the employee benefit plan, and that such person will render
individualized investment advice to the employee benefit plan based on the
particular needs of the employee benefit plan regarding such matters, as, among
other things, investment policies or strategy, overall portfolio composition, or
diversification of plan investments. This prohibition is designed to prevent
violations of certain provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code.
 
     Under ERISA, a fiduciary of an employee benefit plan is required, among
other things, to discharge his duties toward such plan with the care, skill,
prudence and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent
person acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the
conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like aims. In considering
an investment in the Partnership of a portion of the assets of an employee
benefit plan, a fiduciary should consider (i) whether the investment is in
accordance with the documents and instruments governing and plan; (ii) whether
the investment satisfies the diversification rules of Section 404(a)(1)(C) of
ERISA, if applicable; (iii) whether the investment will result in unrelated
business taxable income to the plan; (iv) whether the investment provides
sufficient liquidity;
                                       99
<PAGE>   106
 
(v) the need to value the assets of the plan annually; and (vi) whether the
investment is prudent. A fiduciary should consult regulations of the Department
of Labor to determine whether he or she has made appropriate consideration of
relevant factors in investing in the Partnership.
 
     Assets of employee benefit plans ("plan assets") are generally subject to
the fiduciary duty provisions of ERISA and the prohibited transaction provisions
of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code. ERISA does not define "plan assets";
however, the Department of Labor has published a final regulation defining the
term "plan assets" (the "Final Regulation") for purposes of Title I of ERISA and
Section 4975 of the Code. Under the Final Regulation, generally, when a plan
makes an equity investment in another entity, the underlying assets of that
entity will be considered plan assets unless (1) the equity interest is a
"publicly-offered" security or a security issued by an investment company
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, (2) the entity is an
"operating company," or (3) equity participation in the entity by benefit plan
investors is not "significant."
 
     Under the Final Regulation, a "publicly-offered" security is a security
that is (i) freely transferable, (ii) part of a class of securities that is
owned by 100 or more investors independent of the issuer and of one another, and
(iii) either (A) a part of a class of securities registered under section 12(b)
or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or (B) sold to the plan as part
of an offering of securities to the public pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933 and the class of securities of which
such security is part is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
within 120 days (or such later time as may be allowed by the Securities and
Exchange Commission) after the end of the fiscal year of the issuer during which
the offering of such securities to the public occurred.
 
     For purposes of this definition, whether a security is "freely
transferable" is a factual question to be determined on the basis of all
relevant facts and circumstances. If a security is part of an offering in which
the minimum investment is $10,000 or less, however, certain customary
restrictions (enumerated in the Final Regulation) imposed on the transfer of
partnership interests necessary to permit partnerships to comply with applicable
federal and state laws, to ensure favorable treatment under federal or state tax
laws, and to meet reasonable administrative needs will not, alone or in
combination, affect a finding that such securities are freely transferable.
Although no assignee may become a substituted limited partner without the
consent of the General Partner, a limited partner may assign the economic
benefits of ownership of Units upon notice to the General Partner (see "Use of
Proceeds -- Restrictions on Transfer or Assignment" above). Because these
restrictions are among the permissible restrictions enumerated in the Final
Regulation, the Units should be deemed to be freely transferable.
 
     Inasmuch as the Units should be deemed to be freely transferable, the Units
are or will be registered under the federal securities laws as set forth in the
Final Regulations and assuming that the Units will be held by over 100 persons,
the Units should qualify as "publicly-offered" securities within the meaning of
the Final Regulation. As a result, under the Final Regulation the underlying
assets of the Partnership should not be treated as plan assets.
 
     In the unlikely event that the Partnership were deemed to hold plan assets,
prohibited transactions could arise under ERISA and the Code. In addition,
investment by a fiduciary of an employee benefit plan could be deemed an
improper delegation of investment authority, and the fiduciary could be liable
either directly, or under the co-fiduciary rules of ERISA, for the acts of the
General Partner of the Partnership. Additional issues relating to the "plan
assets" and "prohibited transaction" concepts of ERISA and the Code arise by
virtue of the General Partner's ownership of interests in the Partnership and
the possible relationship between an Affiliate of the General Partner and any
employee benefit plan which may purchase Units. Further, certain transactions
between the Partnership and the General Partner and certain Affiliates of the
General Partner could be prohibited transactions.
 
     It should be noted that even if the Partnership's assets are not deemed to
be plan assets, the Department of Labor has stated in Interpretive Bulletin 75-2
(29 C.F.R. sec.2509.75-2, as amended by the Final Regulation) that it would
consider a fiduciary who makes or retains an investment in a partnership for the
purpose of avoiding the application of the fiduciary responsibility provisions
of ERISA to be in contravention of the fiduciary provisions of ERISA. The
Department of Labor indicated further that if a plan invests in or retains
                                       100
<PAGE>   107
 
its investment in a partnership and as part of the arrangement it is expected
that the partnership will enter into a transaction with a party in interest to
the plan (within the meaning of ERISA) which involves a direct or indirect
transfer to or use by the party in interest of any assets of the plan, the
plan's investment in the partnership would be a prohibited transaction under
ERISA.
 
     A prohibited transaction may result in the imposition of potential personal
liability upon fiduciaries of employee-benefit plans subject to ERISA and an
excise tax under Section 4975 of the Code upon the "disqualified person" with
respect to the plan. A fiduciary that has engaged in a prohibited transaction
would be personally liable to (i) restore to the employee benefit plan any
profit realized on the transaction and (ii) make good to the employee benefit
plan any losses suffered by the employee benefit plan as a result of the
transaction. A prohibited transaction may also result in the imposition of an
excise tax under the Code upon "disqualified persons" (as defined in Section
4975 of the Code) with respect to the employee benefit plan. The disqualified
persons involved would be liable to pay an excise tax equal to 15% of the amount
involved in the prohibited transaction for each year during which the investment
is in place, and would be required to eliminate the prohibited transaction by
reversing the transaction and making good to the employee benefit plan any
losses resulting from the prohibited transaction. If the transaction is not
corrected within a certain time period, the disqualified person involved could
also be liable for an additional excise tax in an amount equal to 100% of the
amount involved. In the case of an IRA (including a Roth IRA), certain
prohibited transactions do not result in an imposition of excise tax, but
instead result in a disqualification of the IRA and a taxable distribution of
IRA assets to the beneficiary.
 
     In addition to liability for employee benefit plan losses, ERISA imposes a
civil penalty against fiduciaries of employee benefit plans who breach the
prudence and other fiduciary standards of ERISA, and against non-fiduciaries who
knowingly participate in the transaction giving rise to the breach of the ERISA
fiduciary standards. The civil penalty is equal to 20 percent of the amount
recovered from a fiduciary or non-fiduciary with respect to such breach or
knowing participation pursuant to a settlement agreement with the United States
Secretary of Labor or a court order resulting from a proceeding instituted by
the Secretary. The penalty may be waived and, in any event, would be offset to
the extent of the responsible party's liability for excise tax under the Code.
 
     Each limited partner will be furnished with monthly statements and annual
reports which include the Net Asset Value per Unit. The General Partner believes
that these statements will be sufficient to permit plan fiduciaries to provide
an annual valuation of plan investments as required by ERISA; however,
fiduciaries should note that they have the ultimate responsibility for providing
such valuation. Accordingly, plan fiduciaries should consult with their
attorneys or other advisors regarding their obligations under ERISA with respect
to making such valuations.
 
     Plan fiduciaries should understand the potentially illiquid nature of an
investment in the Partnership and that a secondary market is not expected to
exist for a Unit. Accordingly, plan fiduciaries should review both anticipated
and unanticipated liquidity needs for their respective plans, particularly those
for a participant's termination of employment, retirement, death or disability
or plan termination. Plan fiduciaries should be aware that distributions to
certain participants may be required to commence in the year after the
participant attains age 70 1/2.

                               COMMODITY MARKETS
 
COMMODITY FUTURES
 
     Commodity futures contracts are contracts made on a commodity exchange
which provide for the future delivery of various agricultural commodities,
industrial commodities, foreign currencies or financial instruments at a
specified date, time and place. The contractual obligations may be satisfied
either by taking or making physical delivery of an approved grade of the
commodity (or cash settlement in the case of certain futures contracts) or by
entering into an offsetting contract to purchase or sell the same commodity on
the same exchange prior to the designated date of delivery. As an example of an
offsetting transaction in which the physical commodity is not delivered, the
contractual obligations arising from one contract to sell December 1998 wheat on
a commodity exchange may be fulfilled at any time before delivery of the
commodity is required by entering into one contract to purchase December 1998
wheat on the same exchange. In such instance the difference between the price at
which the futures contract to sell was entered into and the price paid for the
offsetting contract, after allowance for the brokerage commission or fees and
exchange and clearing fees, represents the profit or loss to the trader.
 
     Futures exchanges have expanded throughout the world in response to the
globalization of the world's economy. This gives investors the opportunity to
participate in global markets and economic trends.
 
     Since 1980, the presence of financial futures traded on futures exchanges
has dramatically increased as illustrated in the chart below. Financial futures,
which include interest rates, currencies and stock indices, has increased from
18.10% in 1980 to 77.73% in 1997, reflecting the importance of capital flows in
today's economy.

     The futures volume figures and market sector distributions presented above
include both speculative and hedging transactions, as well as options on
futures. Source: Futures Industry Association. A significant portion of currency
trading is done in the forward rather than in the futures markets, and,
accordingly, it is not reflected in the foregoing chart.
 
FORWARD CONTRACTS
 
     Currencies may be purchased or sold for future delivery through banks or
dealers pursuant to what are commonly referred to as "forward contracts." In
such instances, the bank or dealer generally acts as principal in the
transaction and includes its anticipated profit and costs of the transaction in
the prices it quotes. Mark-ups and/or commissions may also be charged on such
transactions. The Partnership will trade foreign currency forward contracts to a
significant extent. The forward markets are substantially unregulated. See
"-- Regulation," below. Unlike futures contracts, forward contracts are not of
any standard size. Rather, they are the subject of individual negotiation
between the parties involved. Moreover, because there is no clearinghouse system
applicable to forward contracts, forward contracts are not fungible, and there
is no direct means of "offsetting" a forward contract by purchase of an
offsetting position on the same (or a linked) exchange as one can a futures
contract. The forward markets provide what has typically been a highly liquid
market for currency trading, and in certain cases the prices quoted for forward
contracts may be more favorable than those quoted for comparable futures
positions on the International Monetary Market of the Chicago Mercantile
Exchange. Unlike futures contracts traded on United States exchanges, no daily
settlements of unrealized profit or loss are made in the case of open forward
contract positions.
 
     Commodity future and forward prices are highly volatile and are influenced
by, among other things, changing supply and demand relationships, government
agricultural, commercial and trade programs and policies, national and
international political and economic events, weather and climate conditions,
insects and plant disease, purchases and sales by foreign countries and changing
interest rates.
 
USES OF COMMODITY MARKETS
 
     Two broad classifications of persons who trade in commodity futures and
forwards are "hedgers" and "speculators". Commercial interests, including
farmers, which market or process commodities use the commodities markets
primarily for hedging. Hedging is a protective procedure designed to minimize
losses which may occur because of price fluctuations. For example, a
merchandiser or processor may hedge against price fluctuations between the time
he makes a contract to sell a raw or processed commodity and the time he must
perform the contract as follows: at the time he contracts to sell the commodity
at a future date, he simultaneously enters into futures contracts to buy the
necessary equivalent quantity of the commodity and, at the time for performance
of the contract, he either accepts delivery under his futures contracts or buys
the
 
                                       103
<PAGE>   110
 
actual commodity and closes out his futures position by entering into an
offsetting contract to sell the commodity. Similarly, a processor may need to
purchase raw materials abroad in foreign currencies in order to fulfill a
contract for forward delivery of a commodity or byproduct in the United States.
Such a processor may hedge against the price fluctuation of foreign currency by
entering into a futures (or forward) contract for the foreign currency. Thus the
commodity markets enable the hedger to shift the risk of price fluctuations to
the speculator. The usual objective of the hedger is to protect the profit which
he expects to earn from his farming, merchandising or processing operations,
rather than to profit from his commodity trading.
 
     The speculator, unlike the hedger, generally expects neither to deliver nor
receive the physical commodity. Instead, the speculator risks his capital with
the hope of profiting from price fluctuations in commodity futures contracts.
The speculator is, in effect, the risk bearer who assumes the risks which the
hedger seeks to avoid. Speculators rarely take delivery of the physical
commodity but usually close out their futures positions by entering into
offsetting contracts. Because the speculator may take either long or short
positions in the commodity market, it is possible for him to make profits or
incur losses regardless of the direction of price trends. Commodities trades
made by the Partnership will be speculative rather than for hedging purposes.
 
     A very large number of firms and individuals trade in the commodities
markets as hedgers or speculators, many of whom have assets greatly in excess of
the Partnership's.
 
OPTIONS
 
     The CFTC permits domestic exchanges to apply for licensing for the trading
of options on futures contracts and on physical commodities. The Partnership may
trade in such commodity options as are established on domestic exchanges.
Trading policies of the Partnership place no limitation on the percentage of Net
Assets which may be invested in options, and the Partnership may write options.
The Partnership may trade over-the-counter currency options to the extent
permitted by CFTC regulations.
 
     The risks involved in trading commodity options on exchanges are similar to
those involved in trading futures contracts, in that options are speculative and
highly leveraged. Specific market movements of the commodity or futures contract
underlying an option cannot be predicted. Options are bought and sold on the
trading floor of a commodity exchange. The purchaser of an option pays a premium
and may be charged commissions and other fees. The writer of an option must make
margin deposits and may be charged commissions and other fees. Exchanges provide
trading mechanisms so that an option once purchased can later be sold and an
option once written can later be liquidated by an offsetting purchase. However,
there can be no assurance that a liquid offset market will exist for any
particular option or at any particular time. In such case, it might not be
possible to effect offsetting transactions in particular options. Thus in the
case of an option on a future, to realize any profit, a holder would have to
exercise his option and have to comply with margin requirements for the
underlying futures contract. A writer could not terminate his obligation until
the option expired or he was assigned an exercise notice.
 
REGULATION
 
     Commodity exchanges provide centralized market facilities for trading in
futures contracts relating to specified commodities. Among the principal
exchanges in the United States are the Chicago Board of Trade, the Chicago
Mercantile Exchange (including the International Monetary Market) and the New
York Mercantile Exchange, Inc.
 
     Commodity exchanges in the United States are subject to regulation under
the Commodity Exchange Act (the "CEA") by the CFTC. Under the amendments to the
CEA effected by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission Act of 1974, the CFTC
has become the governmental agency having responsibility for regulation of U.S.
commodity exchanges and commodity futures trading. The function of the CFTC is
to implement the objectives of the CEA of preventing price manipulation and
excessive speculation and promoting orderly and efficient commodity futures
markets. Such regulation, among other things, provides that futures trading in
commodities must be upon exchanges designated as "contract markets", and that
all trading on such exchanges must be done by or through exchange members. Under
the 1974 amendments to
                                       104
<PAGE>   111
 
the CEA, futures trading in all commodities traded on domestic exchanges is
regulated. In addition, on September 8, 1981, the CFTC adopted rules regulating
trading of commodity options which had previously been banned by the CFTC.
However, trading in spot commodities and forward contracts may not be within the
jurisdiction of the CFTC and may therefore be effectively unregulated. Investors
should note that various government agencies have investigated practices engaged
in on the floors of the Chicago Board of Trade, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange
and certain New York exchanges and in this connection a number of floor brokers
on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange have been indicted and some have been
convicted for certain trading practices.
 
     The CFTC also has exclusive jurisdiction to regulate the activities of
"commodity pool operators" and "commodity trading advisors". The General Partner
is registered as a commodity pool operator and a commodity trading advisor and
all of the Advisors are registered as commodity trading advisors. Registration
as a commodity pool operator or as a commodity trading advisor requires annual
filings setting forth the organization and identity of the management and
controlling persons of the commodity pool operator or commodity trading advisor.
In addition, the CFTC has authority under the CEA to require and review books
and records of, and review documents prepared by, a commodity pool operator or a
commodity trading advisor. The CFTC has adopted regulations which impose certain
disclosure, reporting and record-keeping requirements on commodity pool
operators and commodity trading advisors. The CFTC is authorized to suspend a
person's registration as a commodity pool operator or commodity trading advisor
if the CFTC finds that such person's trading practices tend to disrupt orderly
market conditions, that any controlling person thereof is subject to an order of
the CFTC denying such person trading privileges on any exchange, and in certain
other circumstances.
 
     SSB, the commodity broker/dealer for the Partnership, is also subject to
regulation by and registration with the CFTC as a "futures commission merchant".
With respect to domestic futures and options trading, the CEA requires all
futures commission merchants to meet and maintain specified fitness and
financial requirements, account separately for all customers' funds, property
and positions, and maintain specified books and records on customer transactions
open to inspection by the staff of the CFTC. The CEA authorizes the CFTC to
regulate trading by commodity brokerage firms and their employees, permits the
CFTC to require exchange action in the event of market emergencies, and
establishes an administrative procedure under which commodity traders may
institute complaints for damages arising from alleged violations of the CEA.
Under such procedures, limited partners may be afforded certain rights for
reparations under the CEA. For a discussion of such rights, see "Fiduciary
Responsibility".
 
     Most exchanges (but currently not the foreign currency futures markets
other than during the first fifteen minutes of a trading day or the foreign
currency forward market) normally have regulations which limit the amount of
fluctuation in commodity futures contract prices during a single trading day.
These regulations specify what are referred to as "daily price fluctuation
limits" or, more commonly, "daily limits". The daily limits establish the
maximum amount the price of a futures contract may vary from the previous day's
settlement price at the end of the trading session. Once the daily limit has
been reached in a particular commodity, no trades may be made at a price beyond
the limit. Positions in the commodity could then be taken or liquidated only if
traders are willing to effect trades at or within the limit during the period
for trading on such day. The "daily limit" rule does not limit losses which
might be suffered by a trader because it may prevent the liquidation of
unfavorable positions. Also, commodity futures prices have moved the daily limit
for several consecutive trading days in the past, thus preventing prompt
liquidation of futures positions and subjecting the commodity futures trader to
substantial losses. See "Risk Factors -- Commodity Trading Risks -- Commodity
Trading May Be Illiquid".
 
     The CFTC and U.S. exchanges have established limits, referred to as
"position limits", on the maximum net long or net short position which any
person, or group of persons acting together, may hold or control in particular
commodities. The position limits established by the CFTC apply to grains,
soybeans, cotton, eggs and potatoes. U.S. exchanges have established speculative
position limits for all commodity contracts for which no such limits have been
established. The CFTC has adopted a statement of policy with respect to the
treatment of positions held by a commodity pool, such as the Partnership, under
its rules relating to the aggregation of futures positions for purposes of
determining compliance with speculative position limits. In
 
                                       105
<PAGE>   112
 
connection therewith, futures positions of the Partnership are allocated only to
the person or entity controlling trading decisions for the Partnership and not
to the limited partners. Currently, all of the positions held by all accounts
owned or controlled directly or indirectly by the Advisors and their principals
will be aggregated with the Partnership's positions. Depending upon the total
amount of funds being managed in both the Partnership's account and other
accounts controlled directly or indirectly by the Advisors, such position limits
may affect the ability of the Advisor to establish particular positions in
certain commodities for the Partnership or may require the liquidation of
positions.
 
     In addition, pursuant to authority in the CEA, the NFA has been formed and
registered with the CFTC as a self-regulatory body in order to relieve the CFTC
of the burden of direct regulation of commodity professionals. The NFA is
required to establish and enforce for its members training standards and
proficiency tests, minimum financial requirements and standards of fair
practice. Pursuant to permission granted in the CEA, the CFTC has delegated some
of its registration functions to the NFA. The Advisors, the General Partner and
SSB are each members of the NFA.
 
     The above-described regulatory structure may be modified by rules and
regulations promulgated by the CFTC or by legislative changes enacted by the
Congress. Furthermore, the fact of CFTC registration of the General Partner and
SSB does not imply that the CFTC has passed upon or approved this offering or
their qualifications to act as described in this Prospectus.
 
MARGINS
 
     Commodity futures contracts are customarily bought and sold on margins
which range upward from as little as less than one percent of the purchase price
of the contract being traded. Because of these low margins, price fluctuations
occurring in commodity futures markets may create profits and losses which are
greater than are customary in other forms of investment or speculation. Margin
is the minimum amount of funds which must be deposited by the commodity futures
trader with his commodity broker in order to initiate futures trading or to
maintain his open positions in futures contracts. A margin deposit is not a
partial payment, as it is in connection with the trading of securities, but is
like a cash performance bond; it helps assure the trader's performance of the
commodity futures contract. Since the margin deposit is not a partial payment of
the purchase price, the trader does not pay interest to his broker on a
remaining balance. The minimum amount of margin required in regard to a
particular futures contract is set from time to time by the exchange upon which
such commodity futures contract is traded and may be modified from time to time
by the exchange during the term of the contract. Brokerage firms carrying
accounts for traders in commodity futures contracts may increase the amount of
margin required as a matter of policy in order to afford further protection for
themselves. SSB intends to require the Partnership to meet its standard customer
margin requirements, which are generally greater than exchange minimum levels.
 
     When the market value of a particular open commodity futures position
changes to a point where the margin on deposit does not satisfy the maintenance
margin requirements, a margin call will be made by the trader's broker. If the
margin call is not met within a reasonable time, the broker is required to close
out the trader's position. Margin requirements are computed each day by the
trader's commodity broker. With respect to the Partnership's trading, the
Partnership, and not the limited partners personally, will be subject to the
margin calls.
 
     SSB will not require the Partnership to meet and maintain margin on its
forward contracts.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. PARTNERSHIP ORGANIZATION:
 
     Salomon Smith Barney Global Diversified Futures Fund L.P. (the
"Partnership") is a limited partnership which was organized on June 15, 1998
under the partnership laws of the State of New York to engage in the speculative
trading of a diversified portfolio of commodity interests including futures
contracts, options, forward contracts and physicals. The commodity interests
that will be traded by the Partnership are volatile and involve a high degree of
market risk. The Partnership has not yet commenced operations. The only
transactions to date are the original capital contributions of $1,000 by the
General Partner, Smith Barney Futures Management Inc. and $1,000 by the Initial
Limited Partner. The General Partner has agreed to make capital contributions so
that its General Partnership interest will be the greater of (i) 1% of the
partners' contributions to the Partnership or (ii) $25,000. The Limited
Partnership Agreement provides that 15,000 units of limited partnership interest
("Units") must be sold at $1,000 per Unit prior to commencement of trading
activities. All subscriptions plus interest earned thereon are to be refunded
should less than 15,000 Units be sold during the subscription period or
extension thereof. The minimum subscription is $5,000 except that subscriptions
for employee benefit plans can be made for a minimum of $2,000. The Partnership
is authorized to sell 100,000 Units.
 
     The General Partner is an affiliate of Salomon Smith Barney Inc. ("SSB"),
the Partnership's commodity broker (see Note 3c). The General Partner and each
limited partner will share in the profits and losses of the Partnership in
proportion to the amount of partnership interest owned by each except that no
limited partner shall be liable for obligations of the Partnership in excess of
his initial capital contribution and profits, if any, net of distributions.
 
     The Partnership will be liquidated upon the first to occur of the
following: December 31, 2018; the net asset value of a Unit decreases to less
than $400 as of a close of any business day; or under certain other
circumstances as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement.
 
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
     a. All commodity interests (including derivative financial instruments and
derivative commodity instruments) are used for trading purposes. The commodity
interests will be recorded on trade date and open contracts will be recorded in
the statement of financial condition at market value for those commodity
interests for which market quotations are readily available or at fair value on
the last business day of the period. Investments in commodity interests
denominated in foreign currency will be translated into U.S. dollars at the
exchange rates prevailing on the last business day of the period. Realized gain
(loss) and
 
                                       108
<PAGE>   115
 
changes in unrealized values on commodity interests will be recognized in the
period in which the contract is closed or the changes occur and will be included
in net gains (losses) on trading of commodity interests.
 
     b. Income taxes will not be provided as each partner is individually liable
for the taxes, if any, on his share of the Partnership's income and expenses.
 
     c. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
 
3. AGREEMENTS:
 
     a. Limited Partnership Agreement:
 
     The General Partner administers the business and affairs of the Partnership
including selecting one or more advisors to make trading decisions for the
Partnership.
 
     b. Management Agreements:
 
     The General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, has entered into
Management Agreements with Campbell & Company, Inc. ("Campbell"), Eagle Trading
Systems Inc. ("Eagle"), Eckhardt Trading Company ("Eckhardt") and Rabar Market
Research, Inc. ("Rabar") (collectively, the "Advisors"), registered commodity
trading advisors. The Advisors are not affiliated with one another and none is
affiliated with the General Partner or SSB and are not responsible for the
organization or operation of the Partnership. The Partnership will pay each
Advisor a monthly management fee equal to 1/6 of 1% (2% per year) of month-end
Net Assets allocated to the Advisor (Eagle's management fee will be reduced by
its pro rata share of administrative and filing fees). In addition, the
Partnership is obligated to pay each Advisor an incentive fee payable annually
equal to 20% of the New Trading Profits earned by each Advisor for the
Partnership (except Eagle, which will receive an incentive fee of 23% of New
Trading Profits).
 
     c. Customer Agreement:
 
     The Partnership has entered into a Customer Agreement which provides that
the Partnership will pay SSB (i) a monthly brokerage fee equal to 9/20 of 1%
(5.4% per year) of month-end Net Assets, as defined, allocated to Eagle,
Eckhardt and Rabar, in lieu of brokerage commissions on a per trade basis, and
(ii) brokerage commissions of $54.00 per round turn on trades executed by
Campbell. SSB will pay a portion of brokerage fees to its financial consultants
who have sold Units in this Partnership. Brokerage fees will be paid for the
life of the Partnership, although the rate at which such fees are paid may be
changed. The Partnership will pay for National Futures Association ("NFA") fees,
exchange, clearing, user, give-up and floor brokerage fees. SSB has agreed to
pay the Partnership interest on 80% of the average daily equity maintained in
cash in the Partnership's account during each month at a 30-day U.S. Treasury
bill rate determined weekly by SSB based on the average non-competitive yield on
3-month U.S. Treasury bills maturing in 30 days (or on the maturity date closest
thereto) from the date on which such weekly rate is determined. The Customer
Agreement provides that SSB and the Partnership have the right to offset any
unrealized gains and losses on the Partnership's open positions and to net any
open orders for the purchase or sale of any property of the Partnership. The
Customer Agreement may be terminated upon notice by either party. The
Partnership will reimburse SSB for the Partnership's organizational and offering
expenses in equal installments over the first 24 months of trading (see Note 5).
 
4. DISTRIBUTIONS AND REDEMPTIONS:
 
     Distributions of profits, if any, will be made at the sole discretion of
the General Partner and at such times as the General Partner may decide.
Beginning with the end of the sixth full month ending after trading commences, a
limited partner may require the Partnership to redeem his Units at their
Redemption Net Asset Value as of the last day of each month ending at least 3
months after their issuance on 10 days' notice to the General Partner. No fee
will be charged for redemptions. Redemption Net Asset Value differs from Net
Asset
 
                                       109
<PAGE>   116
 
Value calculated for financial reporting purposes in that the accrued liability
for reimbursement of offering and organization expenses will not be included in
the calculation of Redemption Net Asset Value.
 
5. ORGANIZATION AND OFFERING EXPENSES:
 
     SSB will initially bear the Partnership's organization and offering
expenses (estimated at $700,000) incurred in connection with the issuance and
distribution during the Initial Offering Period of the securities being
registered. SSB will be reimbursed the offering and organization expenses
(together with interest at the prime rate quoted by The Chase Manhattan Bank) by
the Partnership in equal installments over the first 24 months of trading. These
expenses will be charged to Partners' Capital upon the commencement of
operations; however, the accrued liability for reimbursement of offering and
organization expenses will not reduce Net Asset Value per Unit for any purpose
(other than financial reporting), including calculation of advisory and
brokerage fees and the redemption value of Units.
 
6. TRADING ACTIVITIES AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISK
 
     The Partnership was formed for the purpose of trading contracts in a
variety of commodity interests, including derivative financial instruments and
derivative commodity instruments. All of the commodity interests owned by the
Partnership will be held for trading purposes; however, the Partnership has not
yet commenced operations and currently owns no commodity interests.
 
     The Partnership may be party to financial instruments with off-balance
sheet risk, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity
instruments, in the normal course of its business. These financial instruments
include forwards, futures, options and physicals, whose value is based upon an
underlying asset, index, or reference rate, and generally represent future
commitments to exchange currencies or cash flows, to purchase or sell other
financial instruments at specific terms at specified future dates, or, in the
case of derivative commodity instruments, to have a reasonable possibility to be
settled in cash or with another financial instrument. These instruments may be
traded on an exchange or over-the-counter ("OTC"). Exchange traded instruments
are standardized and include futures and certain option contracts. OTC contracts
are negotiated between contracting parties and include forwards and certain
options. Each of these instruments is subject to various risks similar to those
related to the underlying financial instruments including market and credit
risk. In general, the risks associated with OTC contracts are greater than those
associated with exchange traded instruments because of the greater risk of
default by the counterparty to an OTC contract.
 
     Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial
instruments traded by the Partnership due to market changes, including interest
and foreign exchange rate movements and fluctuations in commodity or security
prices. Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the
markets in which the related underlying assets are traded.
 
     Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may occur due to the failure of
a counterparty to perform according to the terms of a contract. The Partnership
expects that its sole counterparty with respect to OTC contracts will be SSB.
Credit risk with respect to exchange traded instruments is reduced to the extent
that an exchange or clearing organization acts as a counterparty to the
transactions. The Partnership's risk of loss in the event of counterparty
default is typically limited to the amounts recognized in the statement of
financial condition and not represented by the contract or notional amounts of
the instruments. The Partnership will have concentration risk because the sole
broker with respect to the Partnership's assets will be SSB.
 
     The General Partner will monitor and control the Partnership's risk
exposure on a daily basis through financial, credit and risk management
monitoring systems and, accordingly, believes that it has effective procedures
for evaluating and limiting the credit and market risks to which the Partnership
will be subject. These monitoring systems allow the General Partner to
statistically analyze actual trading results with risk adjusted performance
indicators and correlation statistics. In addition, on-line monitoring systems
provide account analysis of futures, forwards and options positions by sector,
margin requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral positions.

                   NOTES TO STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
1. ORGANIZATION
 
     Smith Barney Futures Management Inc. (the "Company") is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Salomon Smith Barney Holdings Inc. ("SSBHI") which is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Travelers Group Inc. ("Travelers"). On November 28,
1997 Smith Barney Holdings Inc. was merged with Salomon Inc to form SSBHI. The
Company is registered as a commodity pool operator with the Commodity Futures
Trading Commission. The Company was organized and is authorized to act as a
general partner for the management of investment funds. At December 31, 1997,
the Company is the general partner for 21 limited partnerships (the "limited
partnerships") with total assets of $758,485,796, total liabilities of
$17,676,281 and total partners' capital of $740,809,515. The limited
partnerships are organized to engage in the speculative trading of commodity
futures contracts and other commodity interests. The Company's responsibilities
as the general partner are described in the various limited partnership
agreements. The Company has a general partner's liability which is unlimited
(except to the extent it may be limited by the limited partnership agreement)
with respect to the limited partnerships.
 
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     The statement of financial condition is prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles which requires the use of management's
best judgment and estimates. Estimates may vary from actual results.
 
     Investments in limited partnerships, at equity, are valued at the Company's
proportionate share of the net asset values as reported by the limited
partnerships and approximate fair value. The limited partnerships value
positions at the closing market quotations on the last business day of the year.
 
     The carrying value of all other financial instruments in the statement of
financial condition approximate their fair values as they are either short term
in nature or interest-bearing at floating rates.
 
     Under the terms of each of the limited partnership agreements for which it
is a general partner, the Company is solely responsible for managing the
partnership. Other responsibilities are disclosed in each limited partnership
agreement. The Company is required to make a capital contribution to each such
limited partnership. The limited partnership agreements generally require the
general partner to maintain a cash investment in the limited partnerships equal
to the greater of (i) an amount which will entitle the general partner to an
interest of 1% in each material item of partnership income, gain, loss,
deduction or credit or (ii) the greater of (a) 1% of the aggregate capital
contributions of all partners or (b) a minimum of $25,000. While it is the
general partner thereof, it may not reduce its percentage interest in such
limited partnerships to less than such required level, as defined in each
limited partnership agreement.
 
     Consistent with the limited partnership agreements, the Company received an
opinion of counsel that it may maintain its net worth, as defined in the limited
partnership agreements (excluding its investment in each such limited
partnership), at an amount not less than 5% of the total contributions to the
limited partnerships by all partners. SSBHI will contribute such amounts of
additional capital to the Company, all or part of which may be contributed by a
note (see Note 3), so that the Company may maintain its net worth requirement.
This requirement was met at December 31, 1997.
 
     Receivable from limited partnerships includes deferred offering costs which
represent payments made by the Company on behalf of certain limited partnerships
during their original offering, such as legal fees, printing costs, etc. These
costs are deferred until the limited partnerships commence operations and then
are reimbursed over a period varying from eighteen to twenty-four months or as
interest income is earned by the limited partnership in accordance with the
limited partnership's prospectus. The deferred offering costs at December 31,
1997 were $615,400. Repayment of these costs is not contingent upon the
operating results of

the limited partnerships. In addition, as general partner, the Company earns
monthly management fees and commissions from the limited partnerships as defined
by the limited partnership agreements. Management fees and commission
receivables at December 31, 1997 were $3,909,654.
 
3. NOTE RECEIVABLE
 
     The note receivable consists of a $58,000,000 demand note dated June 22,
1994 which is non-interest bearing. The demand note was issued to the Company by

                                    GLOSSARY
 
     The following glossary may assist the prospective investor in understanding
the terms used in this Prospectus. It should be noted preliminarily that
commodity futures contracts are contracts made on or through a commodity
exchange, and generally provide for future delivery of agricultural and
industrial commodities, foreign currencies and financial instruments. Such
contracts are uniform for each commodity and vary only with respect to price and
delivery time. A commodity futures contract to accept delivery (buy) is referred
to as a "long" contract; conversely a contract to make delivery (sell) is
referred to as a "short" contract. Until a commodity futures contract is
satisfied by delivery or offset it is said to be an "open" position. Other terms
used herein include the following:
 
          Advisor.  Any person who for any consideration engages in the business
     of advising others, either directly or indirectly, as to the value,
     purchase, or sale of commodity contracts or commodity options.
 
          Affiliate.  An affiliate of a person means (a) any person directly or
     indirectly owning, controlling or holding with power to vote 10% or more of
     the outstanding voting securities of such person; (b) any person 10% or
     more of whose outstanding voting securities are directly or indirectly
     owned, controlled or held with power to vote, by such person; (c) any
     person, directly or indirectly, controlling, controlled by, or under common
     control of such person; (d) any officer, director or partner of such
     person; or (e) if such person is an officer, director or partner, any
     person for which such person acts in such capacity.
 
          Churning.  Engaging in excessive trading with respect to a commodity
     account for the purpose of generating brokerage commissions.
 
          Commission.  The fee charged by a broker for executing a trade in a
     commodity account of a customer. SB charges most customers, but not the
     Partnership, commissions per futures contract on a "round-turn" basis,
     i.e., only upon the closing of an open position.
 
          Commodity.  The term commodity refers to goods, wares, merchandise,
     produce and in general everything that is bought and sold in commerce,
     including financial instruments. Out of this large class, certain
     commodities have been selected as appropriate vehicles for trading on
     various national and international exchanges located in principal marketing
     and commercial areas. Among the commodities currently traded are wheat,
     corn, oats, hogs, sugar, cotton, lumber, copper, silver, gold, T-Bills,
     stock indices and foreign currency.
 
          Commodity Broker.  Any person who engages in the business of effecting
     transactions in commodity contracts for the account of others or for his
     own account.
 
          Commodity Contract.  A contract or option thereon providing for the
     delivery or receipt at a future date of a specified amount and grade of a
     traded commodity at a specified price and delivery point.
 
          Daily price fluctuation limit.  The maximum permitted fluctuation
     (imposed by an exchange and approved by the CFTC) in the price of a futures
     contract for a given commodity that can occur on an exchange on a given day
     in relation to the previous day's settlement price. Such maximum permitted
     fluctuation is subject to change from time to time by the exchange.
 
          Delivery.  The process of satisfying a commodity futures contract by
     transferring ownership of a specified quantity and grade of a cash
     commodity to the purchaser thereof. Certain financial instrument futures
     contracts are not settled by delivery of the financial instrument, but
     rather are settled in cash.
 
          Forward contract.  A contract relating to the purchase and sale of a
     physical commodity for delivery at a future date. It is distinguished from
     a futures contract in that it is not traded on an exchange and it contains
     terms and conditions specifically negotiated by the parties.
 
          Limit order.  An order to execute a trade at a specified price or
     better. As contrasted with a stop order, a limit order does not become a
     market order when the limit price is reached.
 
          Margin.  Good faith deposits with a broker to assure fulfillment of a
     purchase or sale of a commodity futures contract. Commodity margins do not
     involve the payment of interest.
 
                                       116

                                NOTES TO TABLE C
 
     The Compound Annual Rate of Return and the Hypothetical Compound Annual
Rate of Return for each year is calculated by applying on a compound basis each
of the Composite of Actual Monthly Rates of Return and each of the Hypothetical
Composite Weighted Average Pro Forma Rates of Return for such month, not by
adding or averaging such monthly rates of return. For purposes of this table,
November 1997 was used as the starting month since it was the common date that
all programs (that will be traded for the Partnership) were trading.
 
     The Hypothetical Composite Adjusted Performance Record was prepared by the
General Partner and is a result of (a) making certain pro forma adjustments to
the historical performance records of the five Advisors' programs to be used for
the Partnership in an attempt to approximate the brokerage fees, management
fees, incentive fees, other expenses, and interest income calculated in
accordance with the fee and income structure of the Partnership as opposed to
the corresponding fees, expenses or income actually charged or earned in the
historical performance records (for purposes of the calculation of Partnership
interest income, historical 30-day Treasury bill rates of the time period
presented on Tables B-1 and, where applicable, B-2 were used. Such rates may be
higher than current 30-day Treasury bill rates that will be used to calculate
Partnership interest income. The application of historical rates may compare
more closely to the Advisors' interest income which was most likely earned at
the prevailing interest rates of a particular time period), (b) assuming the
following initial allocation of Partnership assets is made to the Advisors:
Campbell -- 35%; Eagle -- 20%; Eckhardt -- 10% and Rabar -- 35%. In the case of
Eagle, their allocable share of Partnership assets was then allocated to two
separate portfolios as follows: two-thirds Eagle-Global System and one-third
Eagle-FX, (c) calculating a combined weighted average pro forma rate of return,
and (d) applying on a compound basis each of the monthly Hypothetical Composite
Weighted Average Pro Forma Rates of Return to an assumed hypothetical investment
of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period. For example, Campbell's initial
allotment of $350 to the Financial, Metal and Energy Small Portfolio was
multiplied by its Pro Forma Monthly Rate of Return from Table B-1. In November
1997, Campbell's Pro Forma Monthly Rate of Return was 0.25% which resulted in a
increase of $1 for the first month and a corresponding increase to its trading
allotment to $351. Next, this process was repeated for each program or portfolio
traded by the Advisors for the Partnership, then added to reach a net asset
value as of the end of the month of $1,003, an increase of 0.33% over the
initial $1,000. Finally, these computations were repeated each month, beginning
with last month's assets allocated to each program or portfolio plus trading
profits or losses. The Composite of Actual Monthly Rates of Return is similarly
calculated using each of the Advisor's actual performance data for the same
period.
 
     The Hypothetical Composite Adjusted Performance Record does not reflect how
the Partnership may operate, but is based instead upon estimates and assumptions
considered by the General Partner to be reasonable. Prospective investors must
note, however, that there are other methods by which the Hypothetical Composite
Adjusted Performance Record could have reasonably been calculated. Such
alternative methods may have produced different composite performance results.
 
     Irrespective of the limitations of the pro forma adjustments that have been
made to the Advisors' historical records, any composite of different trading
approaches that have never, in fact, traded an account together is necessarily
artificial and hypothetical in some respects. Such hypothetical presentations
are also subject to the fact that they can be designed with the benefit of
hindsight.
 
     The hypothetical $1,000 unit column represents the net asset value of a
hypothetical unit as of the end of each month.
 
     The Hypothetical Composite Adjusted Performance Record is based on pro
forma adjustments to actual trading results; it contains no simulated
performance. However, the table is nevertheless hypothetical in that no single
account has been managed by the Advisors utilizing all five programs in the same
proportions as the Partnerships' assets will be allocated. CFTC and NFA
regulations require that the following cautionary legend accompany all
hypothetical trading records: THIS COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE RECORD IS HYPOTHETICAL
AND THE ADVISORS' TRADING PROGRAMS HAVE NOT BEEN TRADED TOGETHER IN THE MANNER
SHOWN IN THE COMPOSITE. HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE
                                       120
<PAGE>   127
 
RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW. NO
REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY MULTI-PROGRAM MANAGED ACCOUNT OR POOL WILL
OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE A COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE RECORD SIMILAR TO THAT SHOWN. IN
FACT, THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN A HYPOTHETICAL COMPOSITE
PERFORMANCE RECORD AND THE ACTUAL RECORD SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED.
 
     ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF A HYPOTHETICAL COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE RECORD IS
THAT DECISIONS RELATING TO THE SELECTION OF TRADING PROGRAMS AND THE ALLOCATION
OF ASSETS AMONG THOSE TRADING PROGRAMS WERE MADE WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT
BASED UPON THE HISTORICAL RATES OF RETURN OF THE SELECTED TRADING PROGRAMS.
THEREFORE, COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE RECORDS INVARIABLY SHOW POSITIVE RATES OF
RETURN. ANOTHER INHERENT LIMITATION ON THESE RESULTS IS THAT THE ALLOCATION
DECISIONS REFLECTED IN THE PERFORMANCE RECORD WERE NOT MADE UNDER ACTUAL MARKET
CONDITIONS AND, THEREFORE, CANNOT COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL
RISK IN ACTUAL TRADING. FURTHERMORE, THE COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE RECORD MAY BE
DISTORTED BECAUSE THE ALLOCATION OF ASSETS CHANGES FROM TIME TO TIME AND THESE
ADJUSTMENTS ARE NOT REFLECTED IN THE COMPOSITE.
 
     The above table must be read in conjunction with the description of the
manner in which the Pro Forma Rates of Return for each program were calculated
set forth under "The Advisor -- Notes to Tables B-1 and B-2 for all Advisors."
The Hypothetical Composite Adjusted Performance Record, for the period November
1997 through August 31, 1998, has been calculated on the basis of Pro Forma
Monthly Rate of Return figures only and Rate of Return may not be an accurate
indication of actual performance due to the effect of additions and withdrawals
and other factors. Investors should be careful to consider the monthly rates of
return and volatility before determining whether to invest. In any event, past
results are no guarantee of future performance and no representation is made
that the Partnership is likely to achieve profits similar to those shown in the
Hypothetical Composite Adjusted Performance Record.
 
     Although the General Partner believes that the Hypothetical Composite
Adjusted Performance Record provides information pertinent to evaluating the
desirability of investing in the Partnership, prospective investors must
carefully consider (a) the manner in which the individual program's Pro Forma
Monthly RORs have been calculated, (b) weighted averages of these Pro Forma
Monthly RORs have been derived for purposes of producing the Hypothetical
Composite Adjusted Performance Record in assessing the importance of either of
the above Tables to such investor's decision whether to purchase Units and (c)
the starting period is used in the table.

                         LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
 
     This Limited Partnership Agreement dated as of June 15, 1998, by and
between Smith Barney Futures Management Inc., 390 Greenwich Street, New York,
New York 10013 (the "General Partner"), and David J. Vogel (the "Initial Limited
Partner") and those other parties who shall execute this Agreement, whether in
counterpart or by attorney-in-fact, as limited partners (the Initial Limited
Partner and such other parties are collectively, the "Limited Partners") (the
General Partner and Limited Partners may be collectively referred to herein as
"Partners"),
 
                             W I T N E S S E T H :
 
     WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to form and continue a limited
partnership for the purpose of trading in commodity interests including futures
contracts, options and forward contracts;
 
     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:
 
1. FORMATION AND NAME.
 
     The parties hereto hereby form a limited partnership under the New York
Uniform Limited Partnership Act. The name of the limited partnership is Salomon
Smith Barney Global Diversified Futures Fund L.P. (the "Partnership"). The
General Partner shall execute and file a Certificate of Limited Partnership in
accordance with the provisions of the New York Revised Uniform Limited
Partnership Act and execute, file, record and publish, as appropriate, such
amendments, restatements and other documents as are or become necessary or
advisable, as determined by the General Partner.
 
2. PRINCIPAL OFFICE.
 
     The principal office of the Partnership shall be 390 Greenwich Street, New
York, New York 10013 or such other place as shall be designated by the General
Partner.
 
3. BUSINESS.
 
     (a) The Partnership business and purpose is to trade, buy, sell or
otherwise acquire, hold or dispose of interests in commodities of all
descriptions, including futures contracts, commodity options, forward contracts
and any other rights or interests pertaining thereto.
 
     (b) The objective of the Partnership business is appreciation of its assets
through speculative diversified trading. The Partnership shall not:
 
          (1) engage in the pyramiding of its positions by using unrealized
     profit on existing positions as margin for the purchase or sale of
     additional positions in the same or related commodities;
 
          (2) utilize borrowings except short-term borrowings if the Partnership
     takes delivery of cash commodities, provided that neither the deposit of
     margin with a commodity broker nor obtaining and drawing on a line of
     credit with respect to forward contracts shall constitute borrowing; or
 
          (3) permit the churning of its account.
 
4. TERM, DISSOLUTION AND FISCAL YEAR.
 
     (a) Term.  The term of the Partnership shall commence on the date the
Certificate of Limited Partnership is filed in the office of the Secretary of
State of the State of New York, and shall end upon the first to occur of the
following: (1) December 31, 2018; (2) receipt by the General Partner of an
election to dissolve the Partnership at a specified time by Limited Partners
owning more than 50% of the Units of Limited Partnership Interest then
outstanding, notice of which is sent by registered mail to the General Partner
not less
 
                                       A-1
<PAGE>   131
 
than 90 days prior to the effective date of such dissolution; (3) assignment by
the General Partner of all of its interest in the Partnership, withdrawal,
removal, bankruptcy, or any other event that causes the General Partner to cease
to be a general partner under the Partnership Act (unless the Partnership is
continued pursuant to Paragraph 17); (4) any event which shall make it unlawful
for the existence of the Partnership to be continued; or (5) if Net Asset Value
falls below $400 as of the end of any business day after trading.
 
     (b) Dissolution.  Upon the dissolution of the Partnership, the assets of
the Partnership shall be distributed to creditors, including any Partners who
may be creditors, to the extent otherwise permitted by law, in satisfaction of
liabilities of the Partnership (whether by payment or the making of reasonable
provision for payment thereof) other than liabilities for which reasonable
provision for payment has been made and liabilities for distributions to
Partners; to Partners and former Partners in satisfaction of liabilities for
distributions; and to Partners first for the return of their contributions and
second respecting their partnership interests, in the proportions in which the
Partners share in distributions. Following distribution of the assets of the
Partnership, a Certificate of Cancellation for the Partnership shall be filed as
required by the Partnership Act.
 
     (c) Fiscal Year.  The fiscal year of the Partnership will commence on
January 1 and end on December 31 each year ("fiscal year"). Each fiscal year of
the Partnership is divided into four fiscal quarters commencing on the first day
of January, April, July and October ("fiscal quarter").
 
5. NET WORTH OF GENERAL PARTNER.
 
     The General Partner agrees that at all times after the termination of the
initial offering period of the Partnership's Units of Limited Partnership
Interest described in Paragraph 11 hereof (the "Public Offering"), so long as it
remains the General Partner of the Partnership, it will maintain a Net Worth (as
defined below but excluding its capital contribution to the Partnership) equal
to the greater of (a) 5% of the total contributions (including contributions by
the General Partner) to all limited partnerships to which it is a general
partner (including the Partnership) plus (prior to the termination of the Public
Offering) 5% of the Units being offered for sale in the Partnership or (b)
$50,000. In no event will the General Partner be required to maintain a net
worth in excess of the greater of (i) $1,000,000 or (ii) the amount which the
General Partner is advised by counsel as necessary or advisable to ensure that
the Partnership is taxed as a partnership for federal income tax purposes.
 
     For the purposes of this Paragraph 5, Net Worth shall be based upon current
fair market value of the assets of the General Partner. The requirements of this
Paragraph 5 may be modified if the General Partner obtains an opinion of counsel
for the Partnership that a proposed modification will not adversely affect the
classification of the Partnership as a partnership for federal income tax
purposes and will not violate any state securities or blue sky laws to which the
Partnership may be subject from time to time.
 
6. CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND UNITS OF PARTNERSHIP INTEREST.
 
     The General Partner shall contribute to the Partnership, immediately prior
to the time the Partnership commences trading activities and as necessary
thereafter, an amount which shall at least equal the greater of (a) 1% of
capital contributions or (b) $25,000. The General Partner's contribution shall
be evidenced by "Units of General Partnership Interest." The General Partner may
not make any transfer or withdrawal of its contribution to the Partnership while
it is General Partner which would reduce its percentage interest in the
Partnership to less than such required interest in the Partnership. Any
withdrawal of any such excess interest by the General Partner may be made only
upon not less than 30 days' notice to the Limited Partners prior to the end of a
fiscal quarter.
 
     Interests in the Partnership, other than those of the General Partner,
shall be evidenced by "Units of Limited Partnership Interest" which the General
Partner on behalf of the Partnership shall, in accordance with the Prospectus
included in the Registration Statement referred to in Paragraph 11, sell to
persons desiring to become Limited Partners. For each Unit of Limited
Partnership Interest purchased prior to the commencement of trading operations,
a Limited Partner shall contribute $1,000 to the capital of the Partnership. For
any Unit (or partial unit rounded to four decimal places) of Limited Partnership
Interest
 
                                       A-2
<PAGE>   132
 
purchased thereafter, a Limited Partner shall contribute to the capital of the
Partnership an amount equal to the Net Asset Value of a Unit (or partial unit,
as the case may be) of Limited Partnership Interest as of the close of business
on the day preceding the effective date of such purchase, and shall pay in
addition any selling commission which must be paid with respect to such
purchase. For purposes of such purchases, any accrued liability for
reimbursement of offering and organizational expenses will not reduce Net Asset
Value per Unit. The aggregate of all contributions shall be available to the
Partnership to carry on its business, and no interest shall be paid on any such
contribution. The General Partner may, in its discretion, split the Units at any
time, provided that any such action will not adversely affect the capital
account of any limited partner. All subscriptions for Units of Limited
Partnership Interest made pursuant to the Public Offering of the Units of
Limited Partnership Interest must be on the form provided in the Prospectus.
 
     The proceeds from the sale of the Units of Limited Partnership Interest
pursuant to the Public Offering shall be placed in an escrow account and shall
not be contributed to the capital of the Partnership prior to the termination of
the Initial Offering Period (as defined in the Prospectus). If subscriptions for
at least 15,000 Units of Limited Partnership Interest shall not have been
received and accepted by the General Partner when the Initial Offering Period is
terminated, this Agreement shall terminate, the full amount of all subscriptions
shall be promptly returned to the subscribers, and the Certificate of Limited
Partnership shall be cancelled. If subscriptions for at least 15,000 Units of
Limited Partnership Interest shall have been received and accepted by the
General Partner prior to the termination of the Initial Offering Period, the
proceeds thereof shall be contributed to the capital of the Partnership and the
Partnership shall thereafter commence trading operations. All subscribers shall
receive the interest earned on their subscriptions while held in escrow. All
subscribers who have been accepted by the General Partner shall be deemed
admitted as Limited Partners at the time they are reflected as such on the books
and records of the Partnership.
 
7. ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES.
 
     (a) Capital Accounts.  A capital account shall be established for each
Partner. The initial balance of each Partner's capital account shall be the
amount of his initial capital contribution to the Partnership.
 
     (b) Allocations.  As of the close of business on the last day of each month
during each fiscal year of the Partnership, the following determinations and
allocations shall be made:
 
          (1) The Net Assets of the Partnership (as defined in Paragraph
     7(d)(1)) before any management and incentive fees payable by the
     Partnership as of such date shall be determined.
 
          (2) Monthly management fees, if any, payable by the Partnership as of
     such date shall then be charged against Net Assets.
 
          (3) Incentive fees, if any, shall then be charged against Net Assets.
 
          (4) Any increase or decrease in Net Assets as of the end of the month
     (after the adjustments in subparagraphs (2) and (3) above) shall then be
     credited or charged to the capital accounts of each Partner in the ratio
     that the balance of each account bears to the balance of all accounts.
 
          (5) The amount of any distribution to a Partner, any amount paid to a
     Limited Partner on redemption of Units of Limited Partnership Interest, and
     any amount paid to the General Partner on redemption of Units of General
     Partnership Interest, shall be charged to that Partner's capital account.
 
     (c) Allocation of Profit and Loss for Federal Income Tax Purposes.  The
Partnership's realized capital gain or loss and ordinary income or loss shall be
allocated among the Partners in the ratio that each Partner's capital account
bears to all Partners' capital accounts. Any Partner who redeems Units of
Limited or General Partnership Interest during any fiscal year will be allocated
his proportionate share of the capital gain or loss and ordinary income or loss
realized by the Partnership during the period that such Units of Limited or
General Partnership Interest were owned by such Partner, based on the ratio that
the capital accounts allocable to such acquired or redeemed Units of Limited or
General Partnership Interest bear to the capital accounts allocable to all
Partners' Units of Limited or General Partnership Interest for such period. Any
Partner who transfers or assigns Units of Limited or General Partnership
Interest during any fiscal year shall
 
                                       A-3
<PAGE>   133
 
be allocated his proportionate share of the capital gain or loss and ordinary
income or loss realized by the Partnership through the end of the month in which
notice of such transfer or assignment is given to the General Partner in
accordance with Paragraph 10(b) hereof, and the transferee or assignee of such
Units shall be allocated his proportionate share of the capital gain or loss and
ordinary income or loss realized by the Partnership commencing with the month
next succeeding the month in which notice of transfer or assignment is given.
The method of allocating gains and losses for tax purposes may be changed by the
General Partner upon receipt of advice from counsel to the Partnership that such
change is required by applicable law or regulations.
 
     (d) Definitions:
 
          (1) Net Assets.  Net Assets of the Partnership shall mean the total
     assets of the Partnership including all cash, plus Treasury Bills at
     market, accrued interest, and the market value of all open commodity
     positions maintained by the Partnership, less brokerage charges accrued and
     less all other liabilities of the Partnership, determined in accordance
     with generally accepted accounting principles under the accrual basis of
     accounting.
 
          (2) Net Asset Value per Unit.  The Net Asset Value of each Unit of
     Limited Partnership Interest and each Unit of General Partnership Interest
     shall be determined by dividing the Net Assets of the Partnership by the
     aggregate number of Units of Limited and General Partnership Interest
     outstanding.
 
          (3) Capital Contributions.  Capital contributions shall mean the total
     investment in the Partnership by a Partner or by all Partners, as the case
     may be.
 
          (4) New Trading Profits.  The excess, if any, of Net Assets managed by
     the Advisor at the end of the fiscal period over Net Assets managed by the
     Advisor at the end of the highest previous fiscal period or Net Assets
     allocated to the Advisor at the date trading commences, whichever is
     higher, and as further adjusted to eliminate the effect on Net Assets
     resulting from new capital contributions, redemptions, reallocations or
     capital distributions, if made during the fiscal period decreased by
     interest or other income, not directly related to trading activity, earned
     on the Partnership's assets during the fiscal period, whether the assets
     are held separately or in margin accounts.
 
          (5) Organizational and Offering Expenses.  Organizational and offering
     expenses shall mean all expenses incurred by the Partnership in connection
     with and in preparing for registration and subsequent offering and
     distributing it to the public, including but not limited to, total
     underwriting and brokerage discounts and commissions (including fees of the
     underwriter's attorneys), expenses for printing, engraving, mailing,
     salaries of employees while engaged in sales activities, charges of
     transfer agents, registrars, trustees, escrow holders, depositories,
     experts, expenses of qualification of the sale of its Units of Limited
     Partnership Interest under federal and state law, including taxes and fees,
     accountants' and attorneys' fees.
 
          (6) Valuation Date.  The date as of which the Net Assets of the
     Partnership are determined.
 
          (7) Valuation Period.  A regular period of time between Valuation
     Dates.
 
          (8) Advisor.  Any person who for any consideration engages in the
     business of advising others, either directly or indirectly, as to the
     value, purchase, or sale of commodity contracts or commodity options.
 
          (9) Commodity Contract.  A contract or option thereon providing for
     the delivery or receipt at a future date of a specified amount and grade of
     a traded commodity at a specified price and delivery point.
 
          (10) Pyramiding.  A method of using all or a part of an unrealized
     profit in a commodity contract position to provide margin for any
     additional commodity contracts of the same or related commodities.
 
          (11) Sponsor.  Any person directly or indirectly instrumental in
     organizing the Partnership or any person who will manage or participate in
     the management of the Partnership, including a commodity broker who pays
     any portion of the organizational expenses of the Partnership, the General
     Partner and any other person who regularly performs or selects the persons
     who perform services for the Partnership.
 
                                       A-4
<PAGE>   134
 
     Sponsor does not include wholly independent third parties such as
     attorneys, accountants and underwriters whose only compensation is for
     professional services rendered in connection with the offering of the
     Units. The term "Sponsor" shall be deemed to include its Affiliates.
 
     (e) Expenses and Limitation Thereof.  Subject to the limitations set forth
below in this Paragraph 7(e), the Partnership shall bear all commodity brokerage
fees and shall be obligated to pay all liabilities incurred by it, including,
without limitation, all expenses incurred in connection with its trading
activities, and any management and incentive fees. The General Partner shall
bear all other operating expenses except legal, accounting, filing, data
processing and reporting fees and extraordinary expenses. Appropriate reserves
may be created, accrued and charged against Net Assets for contingent
liabilities, if any, as of the date any such contingent liability becomes known
to the General Partner. The aggregate annual expenses of every character paid or
incurred by the Partnership, including management fees, advisory fees and all
other fees, except for incentive fees, commodity brokerage commissions, the
actual cost of legal and audit services and extraordinary expenses, when added
to the customary and routine administrative expenses of the Partnership, shall
in no event exceed, on an annual basis, 1/2 of 1% of Net Assets per month. For
the purpose of this limitation, customary and routine administrative expenses
shall include all expenses of the Partnership other than commodity brokerage
commissions, incentive fees, the actual cost of legal and audit services and
extraordinary expenses. All expenses of the Partnership shall be billed directly
to and paid by the Partnership. If necessary, the General Partner will reimburse
the Partnership, no less frequently than quarterly, for the amount by which
aggregate fees and expenses exceed, on an annual basis, 1/2 of 1% of Net Assets
per month. Reimbursements to the General Partner or its affiliates shall not be
allowed, except for reimbursement of actual cost of legal and audit services
used for or by the Partnership and charges incidental to trading. Expenses
incurred by the General Partner in connection with administration of the
Partnership including but not limited to salaries, rent, travel expenses and
such other items generally falling under the category of overhead, shall not be
charged to the Partnership. In no event will organizational and offering
expenses exceed 15% of the Partners' initial capital contributions. For this
purpose, organizational and offering expenses include interest on loans from SSB
to the Partnership for payment of organizational and offering expenses, if any.
 
     (f) Limited Liability of Limited Partners:
 
          (1) Each Unit of Limited Partnership Interest, when purchased by a
     Limited Partner, subject to the qualifications set forth below, shall be
     fully paid and non-assessable.
 
          (2) A Limited Partner will have no liability in excess of his
     obligation to make contributions to the capital of the Partnership and his
     share of the Partnership's assets and undistributed profits, subject to the
     qualifications provided in New York law.
 
     (g) Return of Limited Partners' Capital Contribution.  Except to the extent
that a Limited Partner shall have the right to withdraw capital through
redemption of Units of Limited Partnership Interest or shall be entitled to
distributions in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, no Limited Partner
shall have any right to demand the return of his capital contribution or any
profits added thereto, except upon dissolution of the Partnership. In no event
shall a Limited Partner be entitled to demand and receive property other than
cash.
 
     (h) Distributions.  The General Partner shall have sole discretion in
determining what distributions (other than on redemption of Units of Limited
Partnership Interest), if any, the Partnership will make to its Partners.
Distributions shall be pro rata in accordance with the respective capital
accounts of the Partners.
 
8. MANAGEMENT OF THE PARTNERSHIP.
 
     Except as hereinafter provided, the General Partner, to the exclusion of
all Limited Partners, shall conduct, manage and control the business of the
Partnership including, without limitation, the investment of the funds of the
Partnership. The General Partner shall have fiduciary responsibility for the
safekeeping and use of all funds and assets of the Partnership. The Partnership
shall not permit the limited partners to contract away the fiduciary obligation
owed to the limited partners by the General Partner under common law. Except as
provided herein, no Partner shall be entitled to any salary, draw or other
compensation from the
 
                                       A-5
<PAGE>   135
 
Partnership. Each Limited Partner hereby undertakes to advise the General
Partner of such additional information as may be deemed by the General Partner
to be required or appropriate to open and maintain an account or accounts with
commodity brokerage firms for the purpose of trading in commodity contracts.
 
     The General Partner may delegate its responsibility, in whole or in part,
for the investment of the Partnership's assets to one or more qualified trading
advisors and may delegate trading discretion to such persons. If the General
Partner decides to direct trading for the Partnership itself, the General
Partner may nonetheless render advisory services to other clients or accounts
and may use the same trading strategies which are utilized in managing the
Partnership's investments. However, the General Partner agrees and represents
that any such other services will not affect its capacity to continue to render
services to the Partnership of the quality and nature contemplated by this
Agreement. If the General Partner determines to delegate its responsibility for
trading decisions to one or more trading advisors, it may negotiate and enter
into one or more management agreements with the advisor(s) on behalf of the
Partnership, including a management agreement under which the General Partner is
one of the advisors. Any such agreement could obligate the Partnership to pay
management and incentive fees to the advisors in amounts determined by the
General Partner acting in the best interests of the Partnership; provided,
however, that such fees will in no event exceed those permitted under NASAA
Guidelines for the Registration of Commodity Pools (the "Guidelines") and that
neither the General Partner nor any affiliate of the General Partner shall
receive an incentive fee in excess of 15% of New Trading Profits or a management
fee if it or any of its affiliates receives any portion of the brokerage
commissions paid by the Partnership. Specifically, except to the extent
permitted by future changes to the Guidelines, incentive fees paid by the
Partnership to an Advisor shall never exceed 15%, increased by an additional 2%
for each 1% by which the Partnership's aggregate annual expenses are reduced
below 6% annually, of New Trading Profits, calculated not more often than
quarterly on the Valuation Date, over the highest previous Valuation Date.
 
     The General Partner shall monitor the trading and performance of any
trading advisor for the Partnership and shall not permit the "churning" of the
Partnership's account. The General Partner shall calculate the Net Assets of the
Partnership daily and shall make available, upon the request of a Limited
Partner, the Net Asset Value of a Unit of Limited Partnership Interest. The
Partnership shall seek the best price and services available in its commodity
futures brokerage transactions. The Partnership may not enter into an exclusive
brokerage contract. The General Partner is authorized to enter into the Customer
Agreement with Salomon Smith Barney Inc. ("SSB") described in the Prospectus and
to cause the Partnership to pay SSB a monthly brokerage fee equal to up to 9/20
of 1% of month-end Net Assets (5.4% per year) or $54 per round-turn transaction
(exclusive of fees incurred in connection with trading including exchange,
clearing, floor brokerage, give-up and NFA fees) and to negotiate Customer
Agreements in the future on these or other terms. Any interest or other income
derived from any portion of the Partnership's assets whether held in the
Partnership's margin account or otherwise shall accrue solely to the benefit of
the Partnership except as otherwise provided in the Guidelines. Neither the
General Partner nor any affiliate of the General Partner shall directly or
indirectly pay or award any commissions or other compensation to any person
engaged to sell Units of Limited Partnership Interests or to give investment
advice to a potential Limited Partner, provided, however, that neither the
General Partner nor any affiliate of the General Partner is prohibited from
paying to a registered broker-dealer or other properly licensed person a normal
sales commission, including trail commissions, for selling Units of Limited
Partnership Interests. The General Partner may take such other actions as it
deems necessary or desirable to manage the business of the Partnership
including, but not limited to, the following: opening bank accounts with state
or national banks; paying, or authorizing the payment of, distributions to the
Partners and expenses of the Partnership, such as management fees, brokerage
commissions or fees, legal and accounting fees, printing and reporting fees, and
registration and other fees of governmental agencies; and investing or directing
the investment of funds of the Partnership not being utilized as margin
deposits. Only those goods and services enumerated in the Limited Partnership
Agreement will be those provided by the General Partner to the Partnership.
Except as provided in the Prospectus, the General Partner shall not take any
action with respect to the assets or property of the Partnership which does not
benefit the Partnership.
 
                                       A-6
<PAGE>   136
 
     The General Partner shall review, not less often than annually and to the
extent practicable, the brokerage rates charged to public commodity pools which
are comparable to the Partnership to determine that the brokerage fees being
paid by the Partnership are competitive with such other rates. The General
Partner may in its discretion, acting in the best interests of the Partnership,
negotiate with SSB to amend the Customer Agreement so that the Partnership is
charged brokerage commissions on a round-turn basis instead of the monthly fee
initially contemplated; provided that the commission rate agreed to is
comparable to rates charged to comparable public commodity pools and further
provided that such commissions, including pit brokerage fees will not exceed the
limitation set forth in the Guidelines.
 
     The General Partner shall maintain a list of the names and addresses of,
and interests owned by, all Partners, a copy of which shall be furnished to
Limited Partners upon request either in person or by mail and upon payment of
the cost of reproduction and mailing, and such other books and records relating
to the business of the Partnership at the principal office of the Partnership.
The General Partner shall retain such records for a period of not less than six
years. The Limited Partners shall be given reasonable access to the books and
records of the Partnership.
 
     The Partnership shall not enter into any contract with the General Partner
or any of its affiliates or with any trading advisor which has a term of more
than one year. The Partnership shall make no loans. Assets of the Partnership
will not be commingled with assets of any other entity. Deposit of assets with a
commodity broker or dealer shall not constitute commingling. Except as provided
herein, no person may receive, directly or indirectly, any Net Asset fee for
investment advice or management who shares or participates in any commodity
brokerage commissions or fees from transactions for the Partnership; no broker
(including the General Partner and its affiliates) may pay, directly or
indirectly, rebates or give ups to any trading advisor; and such prohibitions
shall not be circumvented by any reciprocal business arrangements. On loans made
available to the Partnership by the General Partner or any of its affiliates,
the lender may not receive interest in excess of its interest costs, nor may the
lender receive interest in excess of the amounts which would be charged the
Partnership (without reference to the lender's financial abilities or
guarantees) by unrelated banks on comparable loans for the same purpose and the
lender shall not receive points or other financing charges or fees regardless of
the amounts.
 
     Subject to Paragraph 5 hereof, the General Partner may engage in other
business activities and shall not be required to refrain from any other activity
nor disgorge any profits from any such activity, whether as general partner of
additional partnerships for investment in commodity futures contracts or
otherwise. The General Partner may engage and compensate (consistent with the
Guidelines) on behalf of the Partnership from funds of the Partnership, such
persons, firms or corporations, including any affiliated person or entity, as
the General Partner in its sole judgment shall deem advisable for the conduct
and operation of the business of the Partnership.
 
     No person dealing with the General Partner shall be required to determine
its authority to make any undertaking on behalf of the Partnership, nor to
determine any fact or circumstance bearing upon the existence of its authority.
 
9. AUDITS AND REPORTS TO LIMITED PARTNERS.
 
     The Partnership books and records shall be audited annually by independent
accountants. The Partnership will cause each Partner to receive (i) within 90
days after the close of each fiscal year, audited financial statements including
a balance sheet and statements of income and partners' equity for the fiscal
year then ended, and (ii) within 75 days after the close of each fiscal year,
such tax information as is necessary for him to complete his federal income tax
return. In addition, within 30 days of the end of each month the Partnership
will provide each Limited Partner with reports showing Net Assets and Net Asset
Value per Unit of Limited and General Partnership Interest as of the end of such
month, as well as information relating to the advisory and brokerage fees and
other expenses incurred by the Partnership during such month. Both annual and
monthly reports shall include such additional information as the Commodity
Futures Trading Commission may require under the Commodity Exchange Act to be
given to participants in commodity pools such as the Partnership. The General
Partner shall calculate the Net Asset Value per Unit of Limited and General
 
                                       A-7
<PAGE>   137
 
Partnership Interest daily and shall make such information available upon the
request of a Limited Partner for a purpose reasonably related to such Limited
Partner's interest as a limited partner in the Partnership. The General Partner
will submit to state securities law administrators any information which such
administrators require to be filed, including, but not limited to, copies of the
annual and monthly reports to be provided to Limited Partners.
 
     In addition, if any of the following events occur, notice of such event
shall be mailed to each Limited Partner within seven business days of the
occurrence of the event: (i) a decrease in the Net Asset Value of a Unit of
Limited Partnership Interest to 50% or less of the Net Asset Value most recently
reported; (ii) a decrease in assets maintained in cash to 50% or less of the
amount most recently reported; (iii) any material change in contracts with
advisors including any change in advisors or any modification in connection with
the method of calculating the incentive fee; (iv) any change in commodity
brokers or any change to payment or brokerage commissions on a round turn basis;
(v) any change in the General Partner; or (vi) any material change in the
Partnership's trading policies or in any advisor's trading strategies; and (vii)
any other material change affecting the compensation of any party. Any notice
sent pursuant to this paragraph will include a description of the Limited
Partners' voting rights and/or redemption rights under this Agreement.
 
10. TRANSFER AND REDEMPTION OF UNITS.
 
     (a) Initial Limited Partner.  As of the day after trading commences, the
Initial Limited Partner may redeem his Unit for $1,000 and withdraw from the
Partnership.
 
     (b) Transfer.  Each Limited Partner expressly agrees that he will not
assign, transfer or dispose of, by gift or otherwise, any of his Units of
Limited Partnership interest or any part or all of his right, title and interest
in the capital or profits of the Partnership without giving written notice of
the assignment, transfer or disposition to the General Partner and that no
assignment, transfer or disposition shall be effective against the Partnership
or the General Partner until the first day of the month next succeeding the
month in which the General Partner receives the written notice described below.
Any assignment, transfer or disposition by an assignee of Units of Limited
Partnership Interest of his interest in the capital or profits of the
Partnership shall not be effective against the Partnership or the General
Partner until the first day of the month next succeeding the month in which the
General Partner receives the written notice described below. If the General
Partner receives an opinion of counsel to the effect that a transfer should be
prohibited in order to protect against treatment as a publicly traded
partnership, such transfer shall be prohibited. Upon advice of counsel, the
General Partner shall eliminate or modify any restrictions on substitutions or
assignment at such time as the restriction is no longer necessary. If an
assignment, transfer or disposition occurs by reason of the death of a Limited
Partner or assignee, such written notice may be given by the duly authorized
representative of the estate of the Limited Partner or assignee and shall be
supported by such proof of legal authority and valid assignment as may
reasonably be requested by the General Partner. The written notice required by
this paragraph shall specify the name and residence address of the assignee, the
date of assignment, shall include a statement by the assignee that he agrees to
give the above-described written notice to the General Partner upon any
subsequent assignment, and shall be signed by the assignor and assignee. The
General Partner may, in its sole discretion, waive receipt of the
above-described notice or waive any defect therein. Any such assignee shall
become a substituted Limited Partner only upon the consent of the General
Partner (which consent may only be withheld for the purpose of preserving the
Partnership's tax status or to avoid adverse legal consequences to the
Partnership), upon the execution of a Power of Attorney by such assignee
appointing the General Partner as his attorney-in-fact in the form contained in
paragraph 13 hereof. The estate or any beneficiary of a deceased Limited Partner
or assignee shall have no right to withdraw any capital or profits from the
Partnership except by redemption of Units of Limited Partnership Interest. Upon
the death of a Limited Partner, his estate shall have any rights of inventory,
accounting, appraisal or examination of Partnership records as are granted by
law. A substituted Limited Partner shall have all the rights and powers and
shall be subject to all the restrictions and liabilities of a Limited Partner of
the Partnership. A substituted Limited Partner is also liable for the
obligations of his assignor to make contributions to the Partnership, but
 
                                       A-8
<PAGE>   138
 
shall not be liable for the obligations of his assignor under the Partnership
Act to return distributions received by the assignor, provided, however, that a
substituted Limited Partner shall not be obligated for liabilities unknown to
him at the time he became a substituted Limited Partner and which could not be
ascertained from this Agreement. Each Limited Partner agrees that with the
consent of the General Partner any assignee may become a substituted Limited
Partner without the further act or approval of any Limited Partner. If the
General Partner withholds consent, an assignee shall not become a substituted
Limited Partner and shall not have any of the rights of a Limited Partner except
that the assignee shall be entitled to receive that share of capital or profits
and shall have that right of redemption to which his assignor would otherwise
have been entitled. An assigning Limited Partner shall remain liable to the
Partnership as provided in the Partnership Act, regardless of whether his
assignee becomes a substituted Limited Partner. The transfer of Units of Limited
Partnership Interest shall be subject to all applicable securities laws. The
transferor or assignor shall bear the cost related to such transfer or
assignment. Certificates representing Units of Limited Partnership Interest may
bear appropriate legends to the foregoing effect. Except for transfers by gift,
inheritance, intrafamily transfers, family dissolutions and transfers to
affiliates, no transfer may be made that results in either the transferor or the
transferee holding fewer than three Units.
 
     (c) Redemption.  After the end of six full months after the commencement of
trading operations, a Limited Partner (or any assignee thereof) may withdraw
some or all of his capital contribution and undistributed profits, if any, from
the Partnership in multiples of the Net Asset Value of a Unit of Limited
Partnership Interest (such withdrawal being herein referred to as "redemption")
as of the last day of a calendar month ending at least 3 months after that
capital contribution was made (the "Redemption Date") after a request for
redemption has been made to the General Partner; provided, that all liabilities,
contingent or otherwise, of the Partnership, except any liability to Partners on
account of their capital contributions, have been paid or there remains property
of the Partnership sufficient to pay them. For the purpose of a redemption, any
accrued liability for reimbursement of offering and organizational expenses will
not reduce Net Asset Value per Unit. As used herein, "request for redemption"
shall mean a letter or oral request in a form specified by the General Partner
received by the General Partner at least 10 days in advance of the Redemption
Date. No partial redemptions are permitted if after giving effect to the
redemption a Limited Partner would own fewer than three Units. Upon redemption a
Limited Partner (or any assignee thereof) shall receive, per Unit of Limited
Partnership Interest redeemed, an amount equal to the Net Asset Value of a Unit
of Limited Partnership Interest as of the Redemption Date, less any amount owing
by such Partner (and his assignee, if any) to the Partnership. If redemption is
requested by an assignee, all amounts owed by the Partner to whom such Unit of
Limited Partnership Interest was sold by the Partnership as well as all amounts
owed by all assignees of such Unit of Limited Partnership Interest shall be
deducted from the Net Asset Value of such Unit of Limited Partnership Interest
upon redemption by an assignee. Payment will be made within 10 business days
after the Redemption Date. The General Partner may temporarily suspend
redemptions if necessary in order to liquidate commodity positions in an orderly
manner, and may, in its discretion, in a particular case, permit redemptions
before the end of any applicable holding period, partial redemptions, or at
times other than month-end.
 
     The General Partner may, in its sole discretion and upon notice to the
Limited Partners, declare a special redemption date on which Limited Partners
may redeem their Units at Net Asset Value, provided that the Limited Partner
submits a request for redemption in a form acceptable to the General Partner.
The General Partner shall declare such a special redemption date whenever the
Partnership experiences a decline in net asset value per unit as of the close of
business on any business day to less than 50% of the net asset value per unit on
the last valuation date. The Partnership shall suspend trading during such
special redemption period.
 
11. PUBLIC OFFERING OF UNITS OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST.
 
     The General Partner on behalf of the Partnership shall (i) cause to be
filed a Registration Statement, and such amendments thereto as the General
Partner deems advisable, with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission for the registration and public offering of the Units of Limited
Partnership Interest, and (ii) qualify the Units of Limited Partnership Interest
for sale under the securities laws of such States of the United States or
foreign countries as the General Partner shall deem advisable.
 
                                       A-9
<PAGE>   139
 
     The General Partner may make such arrangements for the sale of the Units of
Limited Partnership Interest as it deems appropriate, including, without
limitation, the execution on behalf of the Partnership of a selling agreement
with SSB as an agent of the Partnership for the offer and sale of the Units of
Limited Partnership Interest as contemplated in the Prospectus.
 
12. ADMISSION OF ADDITIONAL PARTNERS.
 
     After the Public Offering of the Units of Limited Partnership Interest has
been terminated by the General Partner, no additional General Partners will be
admitted to the Partnership except as described in Paragraph 17(c). The General
Partner may take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate at any time to
offer new Units or partial Units and to admit new Limited Partners to the
Partnership. Any new Limited Partners accepted by the General Partner shall be
deemed admitted as Limited Partners at the time they are reflected as such on
the books and records of the Partnership.
 
13. SPECIAL POWER OF ATTORNEY.
 
     Each Limited Partner does irrevocably constitute and appoint the General
Partner and each other person or entity that shall after the date of this
Agreement become a general partner of the Partnership with the power of
substitution, as his true and lawful attorney-in-fact, in his name, place and
stead, to execute, acknowledge, swear to, file and record in his behalf in the
appropriate public offices and publish (i) this Agreement and Certificate of
Limited Partnership including amendments and/or restatements thereto; (ii) all
instruments which the General Partner deems necessary or appropriate to reflect
any amendment, change or modification of the Partnership in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement; (iii) Certificates of Assumed Name; and (iv) Customer
Agreements with SSB or other commodity brokerage firms. The Power of Attorney
granted herein shall be irrevocable and deemed to be a power coupled with an
interest and shall survive and not be affected by the subsequent incapacity,
disability or death of a Limited Partner. Each Limited Partner hereby agrees to
be bound by any representation made by the General Partner and by any successor
thereto, acting in good faith pursuant to such Power of Attorney; provided,
however, that the action taken was determined to be in the best interest of the
Partnership and did not constitute negligence or misconduct of the General
Partner or any successor thereto. In the event of any conflict between this
Agreement and any instruments filed by such attorney pursuant to the Power of
Attorney granted in this Paragraph, this Agreement shall control.
 
14. WITHDRAWAL OF A PARTNER.
 
     The Partnership shall be dissolved and its affairs wound up upon the
assignment by the General Partner of all of its interest in the Partnership,
withdrawal, removal, bankruptcy or any other event that causes the General
Partner to cease to be a general partner under the Partnership Act (unless the
Partnership in continued pursuant to Paragraph 17). The General Partner shall
not withdraw from the Partnership without giving the Limited Partners one
hundred twenty (120) days' prior written notice. The death, incompetency,
withdrawal, insolvency or dissolution of a Limited Partner shall not (in and of
itself) dissolve the Partnership, and such Limited Partner, his estate,
custodian or personal representative shall have no right to withdraw or value
such Limited Partner's interest in the Partnership except as provided in
Paragraph 10 hereof. Each Limited Partner (and any assignee of such Partner's
interest) expressly agrees that in the event of his death, he waives on behalf
of himself and his estate, and he directs the legal representative of his estate
and any person interested therein to waive, the furnishing of any inventory,
accounting, or appraisal of the assets of the Partnership and any right to an
audit; provided, however, that this waiver in no way limits the rights of the
Limited Partners or their representatives to have access to the Partnership's
books and records as described in Paragraph 8 hereof.
 
     If a General Partner withdraws as general partner and the Limited Partners
elect to continue the Partnership, the withdrawing General Partner shall pay all
expenses incurred as a result of its withdrawal. If the Partnership is continued
pursuant to Paragraph 17, the General Partner will be responsible for all
expenses resulting from its withdrawal or removal as a general partner. In the
event of removal or withdrawal of the
 
                                      A-10
<PAGE>   140
 
General Partner, the General Partner is entitled to a redemption of its interest
in the Partnership at its Net Asset Value on the next Redemption Date following
the date of General Partner removal or withdrawal.
 
15. NO PERSONAL LIABILITY FOR RETURN OF CAPITAL.
 
     The General Partner, subject to paragraph 16 hereof, shall not be
personally liable for the return or repayment of all or any portion of the
capital or profits of any Partner (or assignee), it being expressly agreed that
any such return of capital or profits made pursuant to this Agreement shall be
made solely from the assets (which shall not include any right of contribution
from the General Partner) of the Partnership.
 
16. INDEMNIFICATION.
 
     (a) The General Partner and its Affiliates shall have no liability to the
Partnership or to any Partner for any loss suffered by the Partnership which
arises out of any action or inaction of the General Partner or its Affiliates if
the General Partner determined in good faith that the course of conduct which
caused the loss or liability was in the best interest of the Partnership, the
General Partner (or its affiliate) was acting on behalf of or performing
services for the Partnership and such loss or liability was not the result of
negligence or misconduct of the General Partner or its Affiliates. The General
Partner and its Affiliates shall be indemnified by the Partnership against any
losses, judgment, liabilities, expenses and amounts paid in settlement of any
claims sustained by them in connection with the Partnership, provided that the
General Partner shall have determined in good faith that such course of conduct
was in the best interests of the Partnership and such loss or liability was not
the result of negligence or misconduct on the part of the General Partner or its
Affiliates.
 
     (b) Notwithstanding (a) above, the General Partner and its Affiliates and
any person acting as a Broker-Dealer shall not be indemnified for any losses,
liabilities or expenses arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal
or state securities laws.
 
     (c) The Partnership shall not incur the cost of that portion of any
insurance which insures any party against any liability the indemnification of
which is herein prohibited.
 
     (d) For purposes of this Paragraph 16, the term "Affiliates" shall mean (a)
any person directly or indirectly owning, controlling or holding with power to
vote 10% or more of the outstanding voting securities of such person; (b) any
person 10% or more of whose outstanding voting securities are directly or
indirectly owned, controlled or held with power to vote, by such person; (c) any
person, directly or indirectly, controlling, controlled by, or under common
control of such person; (d) any officer, director or partner of such person; or
(e) if such person is an officer, director or partner, any person for which such
person acts in such capacity.
 
     (e) The provision of advances from Partnership funds to the General Partner
and its Affiliates for legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of
any legal action initiated against the General Partner or its Affiliates is
prohibited.
 
     (f) Indemnification under this Agreement is recoverable from the assets of
the Partnership and not from the Limited Partners.
 
17. AMENDMENTS; MEETINGS.
 
     (a) Amendments with Consent of the General Partner.  If at any time during
the term of the Partnership the General Partner shall deem it necessary or
desirable to amend this Agreement (including the Partnership's basic investment
policies set forth in paragraph 3(b) hereof) such amendment shall be effective
only if approved in writing by the General Partner and by Limited Partners
owning more than 50% of the Units of Limited Partnership Interest then
outstanding and if made in accordance with the Partnership Act. Any such
supplemental or amendatory agreement shall be adhered to and have the same
effect from and after its effective date as if the same had originally been
embodied in and formed a part of this Agreement. The General Partner may amend
this Limited Partnership Agreement without the consent of the Limited Partners
in order to (i) clarify any clerical inaccuracy or ambiguity or reconcile any
inconsistency (including any inconsistency between this Limited Partnership
Agreement and the Prospectus); (ii) delete or add any provision of or to the
Limited Partnership Agreement required to be deleted or added by the staff of
any
 
                                      A-11
<PAGE>   141
 
federal or state agency; or (iii) make any amendment to the Limited Partnership
Agreement which the General Partner deems advisable (including but not limited
to amendments necessary to effect the allocations proposed herein or to change
the name of the Partnership) provided that such amendment is not adverse to the
Limited Partners, or is required by law.
 
     (b) Meetings.  Upon receipt of a written request, signed by Limited
Partners owning at least 10% of the Units of Limited Partnership Interest then
outstanding, delivered in person or by certified mail that a meeting of the
Partnership be called to vote upon any matter which the Limited Partners may
vote upon pursuant to this Agreement, the General Partner shall, by written
notice, either in person or by certified mail, to each Limited Partner of record
mailed within fifteen days after receipt of such request, call a meeting of the
Partnership. Such meeting shall be held at least thirty but not more than sixty
days after the mailing of such notice, and such notice shall specify the date, a
reasonable place and time, and the purpose of such meeting.
 
     (c) Amendments and Actions without Consent of the General Partner.  At any
meeting called pursuant to Paragraph 17(b), upon the approval by an affirmative
vote (which may be in person or by proxy) of Limited Partners owning more than
50% of the outstanding Units of Limited Partnership Interest, the following
actions may be taken: (i) this Agreement may be amended in accordance with the
Partnership Act; (ii) the Partnership may be dissolved; (iii) the General
Partner may be removed and a new general partner may be admitted immediately
prior to the removal of the General Partner provided that the new general
partner of the Partnership shall continue the business of the Partnership
without dissolution; (iv) if the General Partner elects to withdraw from the
Partnership a new general partner or general partners may be admitted
immediately prior to withdrawal of the General Partner provided that the new
general partner of the Partnership shall continue the business of the
Partnership without dissolution; (v) any contracts with the General Partner, any
of its affiliates or any commodity trading advisor to the Partnership may be
terminated on sixty days' notice without penalty; and (vi) the sale of all the
assets of the Partnership may be approved.
 
     (d) Continuation.  Upon the assignment by the General Partner of all of its
interest in the Partnership, the withdrawal, removal, bankruptcy or any other
event that causes the General Partner to cease to be a general partner under the
Partnership Act, the Partnership is not dissolved and is not required to be
wound up by reason of such event if, within 90 days after such event, all
remaining Partners agree in writing to continue the business of the Partnership
and to the appointment, effective as of the date of such event, of a successor
General Partner. In the event of the withdrawal by the General Partner and the
continuation of the Partnership pursuant to this paragraph, the General Partner
shall pay all expenses incurred as a result of its withdrawal.
 
18. GOVERNING LAW.
 
     The validity and construction of this Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York including,
specifically, the New York Revised Uniform Partnership Act, as amended (without
regard to its choice of law principles); provided, however, that causes of
action for violations of federal or state securities laws shall not be governed
by this Section 18.
 
19. MISCELLANEOUS.
 
     (a) Priority among Limited Partners.  No Limited Partner shall be entitled
to any priority or preference over any other Limited Partner with regard to the
return of contributions of capital or to the distribution of any profits or
otherwise in the affairs of the Partnership.
 
     (b) Notices.  All notices under this Agreement, other than reports by the
General Partner to the Limited Partners, shall be in writing and shall be

postage prepaid, addressed to the last known address of the party to whom such
notice is to be given, upon the deposit of such notice in the United States
mail. Reports by the General Partner to the Limited Partners shall be in writing
and shall be sent by first class mail to the last known address of each Limited
Partner.

the parties, their successors, permitted assigns, custodians, estates, heirs and
personal representatives. For purposes of determining the rights of any Partner
or assignee hereunder, the Partnership and the General Partner may rely upon the
Partnership records as to who are Partners and assignees and all Partners and
assignees agree that their rights shall be determined and that they shall be
bound thereby, including all rights which they may have under Paragraph 17
hereof.

                             SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
 
Dear Sirs:
 
    A. SUBSCRIBER PROVISIONS.
 
    1. Subscription for Units.  I hereby subscribe for the amount indicated
below of units of limited partnership interest ("Units") of SALOMON SMITH BARNEY
GLOBAL DIVERSIFIED FUTURES FUND L.P. (the "Partnership") at $1,000 per Unit
during the Initial Offering Period and at Net Asset Value per Unit during the
Continuous Offering (as that term is defined under "Plan of Distribution") (with
a minimum investment of $5,000, except $2,000 for employee-benefit plans,
subject to higher minimum in certain states). A SUBSCRIPTION MAY BE REVOKED BY A
SUBSCRIBER FOR FIVE BUSINESS DAYS FOLLOWING THE INVESTOR'S SUBSCRIPTION DURING
THE INITIAL OFFERING PERIOD FOR ANY REASON. DURING THE CONTINUOUS OFFERING A
SUBSCRIPTION MAY BE REVOKED BY A SUBSCRIBER FOR FIVE BUSINESS DAYS FOLLOWING THE
INVESTOR'S SUBSCRIPTION IF THE GENERAL PARTNER DETERMINES NOT TO OFFER UNITS AS
OF THE END OF A QUARTER.
 
    2. Representations and Warranties.  BY EXECUTING THIS SUBSCRIPTION
AGREEMENT, I AM NOT WAIVING ANY RIGHTS UNDER THE FEDERAL OR STATE SECURITIES
LAWS. As an inducement to the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership to
sell me the Units for which I have subscribed, I (either in my individual
capacity or as an authorized representative of an entity, if applicable) hereby
represent and warrant to the General Partner and the Partnership as follows:
 
        (A) I HAVE RECEIVED A COPY OF THE PROSPECTUS AND DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT OF
    THE PARTNERSHIP, INCLUDING THE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT (AS
    SUPPLEMENTED BY STICKER SUPPLEMENTS, IF ANY) AND A COPY OF THE MOST RECENT
    MONTHLY STATEMENT AND ANNUAL REPORT, IF ANY, RELATING TO AND DESCRIBING THE
    TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS OFFERING OF UNITS ("PROSPECTUS").
 
        (B) I MEET THE APPLICABLE INVESTOR SUITABILITY REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH IN
    EXHIBIT C TO THE PROSPECTUS, IF I AM A COLLECTIVE INVESTMENT VEHICLE, I AM
    IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE FEDERAL REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS INCLUDING
    THOSE OF THE COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION AND I REPRESENT THAT ALL
    THE INFORMATION SET FORTH WITH RESPECT TO MY FINANCIAL POSITION IS CORRECT
    AND COMPLETE AS OF THE DATE OF THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT, AND IF THERE
    SHOULD BE ANY MATERIAL CHANGE IN SUCH INFORMATION PRIOR TO MY ADMISSION AS A
    LIMITED PARTNER, I WILL IMMEDIATELY FURNISH SUCH REVISED OR CORRECTED
    INFORMATION TO THE GENERAL PARTNER.
 
        (c) I hereby consent to the execution and delivery of the Customer
    Agreement between the Partnership and SSB and to the payment to SSB of fees
    as described in the Prospectus.
 
        (d) If I am not a citizen or resident of the United States for federal
    income tax purposes, I represent that I am not a dealer in commodities and I
    agree to pay the General Partner or SSB for any taxes, including but not
    limited to withholding tax, imposed as a result of my status as a limited
    partner.
 
    3. Employee-Benefit Plans.  The undersigned individual, employer or trustee
who has investment discretion over the assets of the subscribing
employee-benefit plan ("Director") represents and agrees as follows:
 
        (a) Either (A) or (B): (A) neither SSB nor any of its employees or
    affiliates (i) manages any part of the investment portfolio of the
    subscribing employee-benefit plan (the "Plan"), or (ii) has an agreement or
    understanding, written or unwritten, with the Fiduciary under which the
    Fiduciary regularly receives information, recommendations or advice
    concerning investments which are used as a primary basis for the Plan's
    investment decisions and which are individualized to the particular needs of
    the Plan.
 
        or (B) The relationship between the Plan and SSB or any of its employees
    or affiliates comes within (i) or (ii) above with respect to only a portion
    of the Plan's assets and the investment in the Partnership is being made by
    the Fiduciary from a portion of Plan assets with respect to which such
    relationship does not exist.
 
        (b) Although an SSB Financial Consultant may have suggested that the
    Director consider the investment in the Partnership, the Director has
    studied the Prospectus and has made the investment decision solely on the
    basis of the Prospectus and without reliance on such suggestion.
 
        (c) The Plan is in compliance with all applicable Federal regulatory
    requirements.
 
    4. Acceptance of Limited Partnership Agreement and Power of Attorney.  I
hereby apply to become a limited partner as of the date the sale of my Units
becomes effective, and I hereby agree to each and every term of the Limited
Partnership Agreement as if my signature were subscribed therein.
 
    I hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint Smith Barney Futures Management
Inc., the General Partner of the Partnership, as my true and lawful
Attorney-in-Fact, with full power of substitution, in my name, place and stead,
to execute, acknowledge, swear to, file and record on my behalf in the
appropriate public offices (i) the Limited Partnership Agreement of the
Partnership and a Certificate of Limited Partnership, including amendments and
restatements thereto; (ii) all instruments which the General Partner deems
necessary or appropriate to reflect any amendment, change, modification or
restatement of the Limited Partnership Agreement in accordance with the terms of
the Limited Partnership Agreement, as amended, including any instruments
necessary to dissolve the Partnership; (iii) certificates of assumed name; and
(iv) customer agreements with any commodity brokerage firm. The power of
attorney granted hereby shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest and shall
be irrevocable and survive the death, disability or incapacity of the
undersigned.
                               ------------------
 
    B. GOVERNING LAW.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except for matters arising
under federal and state securities laws.
 
                               ------------------
 
    C. RISK DISCLOSURE.
 
        1. Investment in the Partnership is speculative and includes the risks
    summarized under "Risk Factors" in the Prospectus. Each investor must be
    able to afford the risks of an investment in the Partnership.
 
        2. Smith Barney Futures Management Inc., the General Partner, is an
    affiliate of Salomon Smith Barney Inc. ("SSB"). SSB is the Selling Agent and
    the Commodity Broker/Dealer and recipient of brokerage fees. Therefore,
    conflicts of interest exist (see "Conflicts of Interest" and "The Commodity
    Broker/Dealer" in the Prospectus). SSB will receive substantial brokerage
    fees from the Partnership regardless of the Partnership's trading
    performance (see "Fees and Expenses to the Partnership" in the Prospectus).
 
        3. An Investor may redeem his Units only as of the last day of a
    calendar month and only after three months from their issuance, all as set
    forth in the Limited Partnership Agreement.
 
        4. The offering of Units is made solely on the information in the
    Prospectus and Exhibits thereto. No person is authorized to make any
    representations not contained in the Prospectus.

Partnership Agreement as if my signature were subscribed therein.
 
    I hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint Smith Barney Futures Management
Inc., the General Partner of the Partnership, as my true and lawful
Attorney-in-Fact, with full power of substitution, in my name, place and stead,
to execute, acknowledge, swear to, file and record on my behalf in the
appropriate public offices (i) the Limited Partnership Agreement of the
Partnership and a Certificate of Limited Partnership, including amendments and
restatements thereto; (ii) all instruments which the General Partner deems
necessary or appropriate to reflect any amendment, change, modification or
restatement of the Limited Partnership Agreement in accordance with the terms of
the Limited Partnership Agreement, as amended, including any instruments
necessary to dissolve the Partnership; (iii) certificates of assumed name; and
(iv) customer agreements with any commodity brokerage firm. The power of
attorney granted hereby shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest and shall

                               ------------------
 
    B. GOVERNING LAW.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except for matters arising
under federal and state securities laws.
                               ------------------
    C. RISK DISCLOSURE.
 
        1. Investment in the Partnership is speculative and includes the risks
    summarized under "Risk Factors" in the Prospectus. Each investor must be
    able to afford the risks of an investment in the Partnership.
 
        2. Smith Barney Futures Management Inc., the General Partner, is an
    affiliate of Salomon Smith Barney Inc. ("SSB"). SSB is the Selling Agent and
    the Commodity Broker/Dealer and recipient of brokerage fees. Therefore,
    conflicts of interest exist (see "Conflicts of Interest" and "The Commodity
    Broker/Dealer" in the Prospectus). SSB will receive substantial brokerage
    fees from the Partnership regardless of the Partnership's trading
    performance (see "Fees and Expenses to the Partnership" in the Prospectus).
 
        3. An Investor may redeem his Units only as of the last day of a
    calendar month and only after three months from their issuance, all as set
    forth in the Limited Partnership Agreement.
 
        4. The offering of Units is made solely on the information in the
    Prospectus and Exhibits thereto. No person is authorized to make any
    representations not contained in the Prospectus.
