Part I
Item 1. Business
IDS Managed Futures, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited
partnership organized on December 16, 1986 under the Delaware
Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act. The Partnership was
formed to speculatively trade commodity interests, including
futures contracts, forward contracts, physical commodities, and
related options thereon pursuant to the trading instructions of
independent trading advisors. The General Partners of the
Partnership are CIS Investments, Inc. ("CISI") and IDS Futures
Corporation ("IDS Futures") (collectively, the "General
Partners"). The General Partners are registered commodity pool
operators under the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended (the "CE
Act") and are responsible for administering the business and
affairs of the Partnership exclusive of trading decisions. CISI
is an affiliate of Cargill Investor Services, Inc. ("CIS"), the
clearing broker for the Partnership. IDS Futures is an affiliate
of American Express Financial Advisors Inc. ("AXP Advisors"),
formerly IDS Financial Services Inc., which acts as the
Partnership's introducing broker and selling agent. Effective
January 1, 1995, IDS Financial Corporation, the parent company of
IDS Financial Services Inc., changed its name to American Express
Financial Corporation and IDS Financial Services Inc. changed its
name to American Express Financial Advisors Inc. These were
solely name changes; the management and structure of each company
did not change. Trading decisions for the Partnership are made
by two independent commodity trading advisors, John W. Henry &
Co., Inc. and Sabre Fund Management Limited.
CIS is a "Futures Commission Merchant", the General Partners are
"Commodity Pool Operators", AXP Advisors is an "Introducing
Broker" and the trading advisors to the Partnership are
"Commodity Trading Advisors" as those terms are used in the CE
Act. As such, they are registered with and subject to regulation
by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") and the
National Futures Association ("NFA"). AXP Advisors and CIS are
also registered as broker-dealers with the National Association
of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") and the SEC.
Units of limited partnership interest ("Units") were offered
initially by AXP Advisors commencing March 27, 1987 and
concluding June 16, 1987. Subsequent offerings commenced March
29, 1993, January 31, 1994 and June 26, 1995. The total amount
of the initial offering was $7,500,000 and the total amount of
the combined reopenings was $80,000,000. Investors affiliated
with the selling agent of the Partnership are not required to pay
selling commissions, and the current offering has varied selling
commission rates depending on the total dollar amount of the
investment. Therefore, the total number of Units authorized for
the Partnership is not determinable and therefore is not
disclosed in the financial statements.
The initial offering of Units was made pursuant to a registration
statement on Form S-18 and Prospectus declared effective with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 27, 1987.
The maximum sales allowed in the offering was $7,500,000. By the
end of the offering period, subscriptions for 29,442 Units
(excluding the Units purchased by the initial Limited Partner)
had been accepted by the Partnership, representing a total
investment of $7,372,260. The minimum subscription size was
$5,000 or 20 Units for investors not affiliated with AXP Advisors
and $4,700 or 20 Units for affiliated investors (affiliated
investors did not have to pay selling commissions of $15 per
unit). In the case of Individual Retirement Accounts and Keogh
Plans the minimum subscription size was $1,000 in most
jurisdictions and $940 for affiliated investors. In June 1987,
$353,280 was paid to AXP Advisors for selling commissions and
$285,822 was reimbursed to the General Partners for organization
and offering expenses which had been incurred on behalf of the
Partnership. The trading advisors commenced trading on June 16,
1987 with $6,733,158.
The Partnership was reopened to additional investment pursuant to
a registration statement on Form S-1 that was declared effective
with the SEC on March 29, 1993. The maximum sales allowed in
this additional offering was $10,000,000. The minimum
subscription size for the reopening was $1,000 for investors not
affiliated with AXP Advisors. On January 31, 1994, a
registration statement on Form S-1 was declared effective with
the SEC for purposes of offering $20,000,000 of Units in the
Partnership in addition to the unsold portion of the $10,000,000
of Units offered pursuant to the Prospectus dated March 29, 1993.
By December 31, 1994, a total of 25,571.16 Units representing a
total investment of $20,033,657 of limited partnership interest
had been sold in the combined offerings. Selling commissions of
$1,145,552 were paid to AXP Advisors by the new limited partners.
All new investors paid organization and offering expenses
totaling $1,202,003.During the period from December 10, 1994
through December 31, 1994, subscriptions for 974.05 Units
representing a total investment of $701,402 of limited
partnership interest were received from investors which were
accepted into the Partnership as of January 31, 1995. These were
the final subscriptions received from investors before the close
of the offering. Selling commissions of $38,670 were paid to AXP
Advisors by the new limited partners and all new investors paid
organization and offering expenses totaling $42,084.
Commencing with the January 31, 1993 offering, the General
Partners modified the method in which they were reimbursed for
offering expenses that they advanced. All offering expenses
incurred in offering Units since March 29, 1993 were treated as a
single reimbursable amount. At the end of the offering (December
31, 1994), any excess of the aggregate Offering Expense charge
received by the General Partners over the actual offering
expenses advanced by them was rebated to those investors who
purchased Units during the entire offering since March 29, 1993.
Rebates were made pro rata based on the number of Units purchased
by each investor and were paid in cash. The payout to investors
equaled $671,399.88 and was paid to investors on approximately
April 1, 1995. Any rebate of less than $15 per investor,
however, was retained by the General Partners.
At the close of business on February 28, 1995 each Unit was
divided into three Units (a "3 for 1 split"), each of which has a
Net Asset Value per Unit equal to the previous Net Asset Value
per Unit divided by three. Accordingly, the total number of
Units outstanding tripled as of that date.
On June 26, 1995, a new registration statement on Form S-1 was
declared effective with the SEC to register $50,000,000 of Units
in addition to the unsold portion of the $20,000,000 offered
pursuant to the Prospectus dated January 31, 1994. The minimum
subscription size for the new offering is $1,000 for investors
not affiliated with AXP Advisors. By December 31, 1995, a total
of 18,183.271 Units representing a total investment of $5,133,101
of limited partnership interest had been sold in the new
offering. Selling commissions of $286,212 were paid to AXP
Advisors by the new limited partners. All new investors paid
organization and offering expenses totaling $153,993.
The Offering Expense charged pursuant to the registration
statement effective June 26, 1995 was reduced to 3% from the 6%
which had been charged in the previous two offerings. No rebate
similar to that described above will be made for this current
offering.
During the initial offering, the General Partners each
contributed $50,055 (a total of $100,110) in cash to the capital
of the Partnership, which was approximately 1.36% of the total
contributions to the Partnership (less selling commissions) by
all Partners. The General Partners received in exchange for such
contribution 426 Units of Partnership interest (213 Units each).
This number of Units equals the total General Partners'
contribution divided by $235 (selling price of $250 per unit less
selling commission of $15 per unit). During the offering period
ending December 31, 1994 the General Partners purchased a total
of 214.18 additional Units representing a total investment of
$160,000. In the current offering period the General Partners
have purchased 394.80 Units for a total amount of $102,880.
CIS Financial Services, Inc. ("CISFS") will act as the
Partnership's forward contract broker and in that capacity will
arrange for the Partnership to contract directly for forward
transactions in foreign currencies. CISFS is a direct
participant in the interbank market for foreign currencies. The
Partnership will act as a principal in each transaction entered
into with a bank, and CISFS will act only as the Partnership's
agent in brokering these transactions.
Under the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement, the General
Partners may not select Partnership transactions involving the
purchase or sale of any commodity interests, but must select one
or more advisors to direct the Partnership's trading with respect
thereto. Initially, the General Partners chose and caused the
Partnership to enter into Advisory Contracts with each of John W.
Henry and Co., Inc. ("JWH") and Sabre Fund Management Limited
("Sabre") (collectively, the "Advisors"). Commencing on June 16,
1987, after the conclusion of the offering period with respect to
the Partnership's Limited Partnership Units, the Advisors began
to provide commodity trading instructions to CIS on behalf of the
Partnership. The General Partners felt it appropriate to make a
change in trading advisor systems; 70 percent of the assets
formerly managed by JWH pursuant to its Original Investment
Program were allocated to another program operated by JWH, the KT
Financial and Metals Portfolio, as of February 28, 1989. The
remaining assets in the JWH Original Investment Program were
closed due to disappointing performance as of October 13, 1989.
This money was reallocated to Sabre in early 1990. In February
1991, the General Partners felt it prudent to realign the assets
of the Partnership so that JWH and Sabre were each allocated 50%
of the trading assets.
The General Partners are responsible for the preparation of
monthly and annual reports to the Limited Partners; filing
reports required by the CFTC, the NFA, the SEC and any other
Federal or State agencies having jurisdiction over the
Partnership's operations; calculation of the Net Asset Value
(meaning the total assets less total liabilities of the
Partnership (for a more precise definition, see the Exhibit "The
Registration Statement on Form S-1" hereto)) and directing
payment of the management and incentive fees payable to the
Advisors under the Advisory Contracts.
The General Partners provide suitable facilities and procedures
for handling redemptions, transfers, distributions of profits (if
any) and orderly liquidation of the Partnership. Although CIS,
an affiliate of CISI (one of the General Partners) acts as the
Partnership's clearing broker, the General Partners are
responsible for selecting another clearing broker in the event
CIS is unable or unwilling to continue in that capacity. The
General Partners are further authorized, on behalf of the
Partnership (i) to enter into a brokerage clearing agreement and
related customer agreements with their affiliates, CIS and AXP
Advisors, pursuant to which those firms render clearing and
introducing brokerage services to the Partnership; (ii) to cause
the Partnership to pay brokerage commissions at the rates
provided for in the brokerage agreement (until August 31, 1995
this rate was $50 per round turn trade to CIS which in turn
reallocated $30 per round turn trade to AXP Advisors; effective
September 1, 1995, which was the first business day of the month
following the initial closing of the new offering, the round turn
brokerage commission rate was decreased from $50 to $35 per round
turn trade to CIS which in turn reallocates $20 per round turn
trade to AXP Advisors) and NFA, exchange, clearing, delivery,
insurance, storage, service and other fees and charges including
surcharges on foreign exchanges with higher incremental costs
incidental to the Partnership's trading; and (iii) to receive an
annual administrative fee equal, in the case of IDS Futures, to
1.45% of the Partnership's Net Asset Value ("NAV") on the first
business day of each fiscal year and, in the case of CISI, to
0.3% of the Partnership's NAV on the first business day of each
fiscal year until January 1, 1993. Commencing January 1, 1993,
the annual administrative fee payable to IDS Futures was reduced
to 1.125% and the annual administrative fee payable to CISI was
reduced to 0.25%. Although no increase to brokerage commissions
or administrative fees is anticipated, such fees as allowed in
the Prospectus may be increased at rates equivalent to increases
in the Consumer Price Index or other comparable measure of
inflation.
The Advisory Contracts between the Partnership and the Advisors
provide that the Advisors shall each have sole discretion in and
responsibility for the selection of the Partnership's commodity
transactions with respect to that portion of the Partnership's
assets allocated to it. The initial Advisory Contracts
terminated on June 30, 1988 but were extended with each Advisor
on the same terms for three additional one-year terms. An
Amendment to the Advisory Contract has extended the term of each
Advisory Contract through January 1993 with the automatic
extension of its terms for three additional one-year terms
through January 1996, unless earlier terminated in accordance
with the termination provisions contained therein. The renewal
right is applicable irrespective of any change in Advisors or any
reallocation of Partnership assets among Advisors or to other
trading advisors by the Partnership.
The Advisory Contracts shall terminate automatically with respect
to both Advisors in the event that the Partnership is terminated
in accordance with the Restated and Amended Limited Partnership
Agreement. The Advisory Contracts may be terminated by the
Partnership with respect to any Advisor individually upon written
notice to the Advisor in the event that (i) the Partnership
assets allocated to the Advisor has trading losses in excess of
30% of the assets originally allocated to the Advisor; (ii) the
Advisor is unable, to any material extent, to use its agreed upon
Trading Approach; (iii) the Advisor's registration is revoked or
not renewed; (iv) there is unauthorized assignment of the
Contract by the Advisor (v) the Advisor dissolves, merges,
consolidates with another entity, sells a substantial portion of
its assets, changes control, become bankrupt or insolvent or has
a change in executive officer; or (vi) the General Partners
determine in good faith that such termination is necessary for
the protection of the Partnership.
An Advisor may terminate the Advisory Contract at any time upon
written notice to the Partnership in the event (i) that its
continued trading on behalf of the Partnership would require the
Advisor to become registered as an investment advisor under the
Investment Advisors Act of 1940; (ii) that assets in excess of
50% of the initially allocated assets are reallocated from the
Advisor; (iii) that the registration of either General Partner is
revoked, suspended, terminated or not renewed; (iv) that the
General Partners elect to have the Advisor use a trading approach
which is different from that initially used; (v) that the General
Partners override a trading instruction or impose additional
trading limitations; (vi) that there is an unauthorized
assignment of the Advisory Contract by the General Partners; or
(vii) other good cause is shown to which the written consent of
the General Partners is also obtained. An Advisor may also
terminate the Advisory Contract on 60 days written notice to the
General Partners during any renewal term.
The Advisors will continue to advise other futures trading
accounts. The Advisors and their officers, directors and
employees also will be free to trade commodity interests for
their own accounts provided such trading is consistent with the
Advisors' obligations and responsibilities to the Partnership.
To the extent that the Advisors recommend similar or identical
trades to the Partnership and other accounts which they manage,
the Partnership may compete with those accounts for the execution
of the same or similar trades.
The Partnership initially paid JWH a monthly management fee of
1/4 of 1% of the Partnership's NAV under management as of the end
of the month, whether or not the Partnership was profitable, and
quarterly incentive fee of 18% of trading profits achieved on the
NAV of the Partnership allocated to such Advisor's management
until June 30, 1992. Effective July 1, 1992, the Partnership
began paying JWH 1/3 of 1% of the month end NAV of the
Partnership and a quarterly incentive fee of 15% of the
Partnership's net trading profits, if any, attributable to its
management. The Partnership initially paid Sabre a monthly
management fee of 1/4 of 1% of the Partnership's NAV under
management. As of December 1991 the General Partners reduced
Sabre's management fee from 1/4 of 1% to 1/8% of 1% until such
time as the trading performance for assets allocated to Sabre
reached a 25% performance return. Effective July 1, 1993,
Sabre's management fee was returned to the 1/4 of 1% level as
this performance return had been reached. Further effective
January 1, 1996, Sabre's monthly management fee was again reduced
from 1/4 of 1% to 1/8 of 1% of the Partnership's Net Asset Value
subject to Sabre's management at month end. This reduction in
management fees will continue until such time that the cumulative
trading performance of Sabre reaches a certain level specified by
the General Partners and agreed upon by Sabre. The calculation
and payment of such incentive fees is not affected by the
performance of the other Advisor. See pages 6-8 of Exhibit 10.1
hereto for a description of NAV and trading profits. The
incentive fee is paid to an Advisor only when the cumulative
trading profits for assets allocated to that Advisor at the end
of a quarter exceed the highest previous cumulative trading
profits at the end of a quarter for which an incentive fee was
paid to the Advisor.
Effective March 17, 1995, Sabre Limited, the holding company of
Sabre, changed its share ownership and management structure. On
this date Henderson Administration Group plc and Phoenix
Securities Limited both ceased to be ordinary shareholders in
Sabre Limited. In addition, Mr. Michael J. Grimme purchased a
29.25% share ownership in Sabre Limited. Following these
transactions, the holders of ordinary voting shares in Sabre
Limited are as follows: Robin W. Edwards, 41.5%; Peter G. Swete,
29.25%; and Michael J. Grimme, 29.25%. Also on March 17, 1995,
Michael J. Grimme was appointed to the Board of Directors of
Sabre Limited and became the Managing Director of Sabre.
Effective November 30, 1995, Michael J. Grimme became a
Non-Executive Director of Sabre.
Effective July 7, 1995, Bruce I. Nemirow resigned from his
positions with JWH and effective October 27, 1995 Thomas C.
Bozarth is no longer a principal of JWH. In the year ending
December 31, 1995, the following persons have been added as
principals of JWH: David R. Bailin, Executive Vice President;
Barry S. Fox, Director of Research and Development; David M.
Kozak, Vice President; Christopher E. Deakins, Vice President;
and Nancy O. Fox, Vice President. In addition, Mary Beth Hardy
was promoted to Senior Vice President of JWH.
The Limited Partnership Agreement provides that (i) funds will be
invested only in futures contracts which are traded in sufficient
volume to permit, in the opinion of each Advisor, ease of taking
and liquidating positions; (ii) no Advisor will establish futures
positions in a commodity interest such that the margin required
for those positions, when added to that required for existing
positions for the same commodity interest, would exceed 15% of
the Partnership assets allocated to the Advisor; (iii) it is
expected that 20% to 60% of the Net Assets of the Partnership
will normally be committed to initial margin, however, no Advisor
may commit more than 66 2/3% of the assets under its management
to initial margins; (iv) the Partnership will not generally
enter into an open position for a particular commodity interest
during a delivery month; (v) the Partnership may not trade in
securities or options on securities, commodity futures contracts,
or physical commodities unless such options have been approved
for trading on a designated contract market by the CFTC; the
Partnership may trade in foreign options if permitted under the
CE Act and CFTC regulations; the Partnership may trade in
futures contracts, futures contracts on foreign currencies
through foreign and domestic commodity exchanges and forward
contracts on foreign currencies; (vi) the Partnership may not
engage in pyramiding, but may employ spreads or straddles; (vii)
the Partnership's assets will not be commingled with the assets
of any other person; (viii) Advisor will not be permitted to engage
in churning the assets of the Partnership; and (ix) no rebates or
give-ups may be paid to or received by the General Partners. The
Partnership will not generally utilize borrowing except for
short-term borrowing when the Partnership takes delivery of a
physical commodity. Material changes in these trading policies
must be approved by a vote of a majority of the outstanding
Limited Partnership Units.
The Partnership's net assets are deposited in the Partnership's
account with CIS, the Partnership's clearing broker. CIS
credited the Partnership at month end with interest income on
100% of the Partnership's average monthly cash balance at a rate
equal to 80% of the average yield on the 90-day U.S. Treasury
Bills issued during that month. Effective August 1, 1993, the
rate was changed to 90% of the average yield on the 90-day U.S.
Treasury Bills issued during that month.
The Partnership currently has no salaried employees and all
administrative services performed for the Partnership are
performed by the General Partners. The General Partners have no
employees other than their officers and directors, all of whom
are employees of the affiliated companies of the General
Partners. For these administrative services, the General
Partners received an annual fee, as described above, equal to
1.75% of the NAV on the first day of the Partnership's fiscal
year (paid on a pro rata basis for the first year of the
Partnership's trading). However, after December 31, 1992 the
annual administrative fee for the General Partners was reduced to
1.375% of the NAV on the first day of the Partnership's fiscal
year.
The Partnership's business constitutes only one segment for
financial reporting purposes; it is a limited partnership whose
purpose is to trade, buy, sell, spread or otherwise acquire, hold
or dispose of commodity interests including futures contracts,
forward contracts, physical commodities and related options
thereon. The Partnership does not engage in the production or
sale of any goods or services. The objective of the Partnership
business is appreciation of its assets through speculative
trading in such commodity interests. Financial information about
the Partnership's business, as of December 31, 1995, is set forth
under Items 6 and 7 herein.
For a description of commodity trading and its regulation, see
the Prospectuses filed on Form S-18 and Form S-1 included in the
exhibits hereto as well as the Form S-18 and S-1 Registration
Statements.
The Current Offering
On June 26, 1995, a registration statement on Form S-1 was
declared effective with the SEC to register $50,000,000 of Units
in addition to the unsold portion of the $20,000,000 offered
pursuant to the Prospectus dated January 31, 1994. The
additional interests in the Partnership are offered to the public
exclusively by AXP Advisors on a best efforts basis. The minimum
subscription size for the current offering is $1,000 for
investors not affiliated with AXP Advisors. The first closing of
the current offering was August 31, 1995. As of February 29, 1996
$53,602,065 remained to be sold in the combined offerings of the
Partnership.
Competition
Each Advisor and its principals, affiliates and employees are
free to trade for their own accounts and to manage other
commodity accounts during the term of the Advisory Contract and
to use the same information and trading strategy which the
Advisor obtains, produces or utilizes in the performance of
services for the Partnership. To the extent that the Advisor
recommends similar or identical trades to the Partnership and
other accounts which it manages, the Partnership may compete with
those accounts for the execution of the same or similar trades.
Other trading advisors who are not affiliated with the
Partnership may utilize trading methods which are similar in some
respects to those methods used by the Partnership's Advisors.
These other trading advisors could also be competing with the
Partnership for the same or similar trades as requested by the
Partnership's Advisors.
Item 2. Properties
The Partnership does not utilize any physical properties in the
conduct of its business. The General Partners use the offices of
CIS and AXP Advisors, at no additional charge to the Partnership,
to perform their administration functions, and the Partnership
uses the offices of CIS, again at no additional charge to the
Partnership, as its principal administrative offices.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings

not declared any such distributions to date, and do not currently
intend to declare such distributions.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Most United States commodity exchanges limit the amount of
fluctuation in commodity futures contract prices during a single
trading day by regulations. These regulations specify what are
referred to as "daily price fluctuation limits" or "daily
limits". The daily limits establish the maximum amount the price
of a futures contract may vary either up or down from the
previous day's settlement price at the end of a 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. Because the "daily limit" rule
only governs price movement for a particular trading day, it does
not limit losses. In the past, futures prices have moved the
daily limit for numerous consecutive trading days and thereby
prevented prompt liquidation of futures positions on one side of
the market, subjecting commodity futures traders holding such
positions to substantial losses for those days.
It is also possible for an exchange or the CFTC to suspend
trading in a particular contract, order immediate settlement of a
particular contract, or direct that trading in a particular
contract be for liquidation only.
The Partnership's net assets are held in a brokerage account with
CIS, and as long as CIS acts as the Partnership's clearing
broker, the Partnership initially earned interest on 100% of the
Partnership's average monthly cash balance at a rate equal to 80%
of the average yield on the 90-day U.S. Treasury Bills issued
during that month. However, effective August 1, 1993, the
Partnership began to earn interest at a rate of 90% of the
average yield on the 90-day U.S. Treasury Bills issued during
that month. For the calendar year ended December 31, 1995 CIS
had paid or accrued to pay interest of $1,389,521 to the
Partnership. Similarly, for the calendar year ended December 31,
1994 CIS had paid or accrued to pay interest of $760,250 to the
Partnership.
For the year ended December 31, 1995, investors redeemed a total
of 9,012.50 Units for $2,332,058. In 1994, investors redeemed a
total of 1,940.13 Units for $445,141.
During 1995, investors purchased 21,105.44 Units (including the
General Partners' purchase of 394.80 Units) for $5,834,503.
On December 31, 1995, the Partnership had unrealized profits of
$1,705,569 and cash on deposit of $31,440,196. These positions
required margin deposits at CIS of $3,655,729. The total balance
of the Partnership's account at CIS was $33,145,765. These
figures compare to unrealized profits of $1,340,020, cash on
deposit of $22,041,930, margin requirements of $2,923,318 and
total balance of the Partnership's account of $23,381,950 as of
December 31, 1994. On December 31, 1993, the Partnership had
unrealized profits of $648,483 and cash on deposit at CIS of
$12,986,861. These positions required margin deposits at CIS of
$1,194,246. The total balance of the Partnership's account was
$13,635,344.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, the Partnership
had no credit exposure to a counterparty which is a foreign
commodities exchange which was material.
The Partnership currently only trades on recognized global
futures exchanges. In the event the Partnership begins trading
over the counter contracts, any credit exposure to a counterparty
which exceeds 10% of the Partnership's total assets will be
disclosed.
See Footnote 5 of the Financial Statements for procedures
established by the General Partners to monitor and minimize
market and credit risks for the Partnership. In addition to the
procedures set out in Footnote 5, the General Partners review on
a daily basis reports of the Partnership's performance, including
monitoring of the daily net asset value of the Partnership. The
General Partners also review the financial situation of the
Partnership's Clearing Broker on a monthly basis. The General
Partners rely on the policies of the Clearing Broker to monitor
specific credit risks. The Clearing Broker does not engage in
proprietary trading and thus has no direct market exposure which
provides the General Partners assurance that the Partnership will
not suffer trading losses through the Clearing Broker.
Results of Operations
The Partnership posted positive returns for 1993 and 1995 but
suffered modest losses for its Limited Partners in 1994.
Trading for 1993 was very profitable. The net return for this
period was 38%. These results were achieved primarily through
trading of world financial markets - capitalizing on strong
trends in global bonds and stock indices. Long positions in
European, United States and Pacific Rim bond markets were
generally very profitable as global economic sluggishness
continued to plague many of the world industrialized nations.
Currency markets for the most part stayed within narrow trading
ranges for this period. The one exception to this was the major
movement of the Japanese Yen. Grains had a brief flurry of
activity during the summer as severe flooding hampered crop
development in the Midwest coupled with drought conditions in the
Southeastern United States. As a result of this trading the
Partnership realized a gain for the year of $2,361,949.
The year 1994 was a challenging year for the Partnership, which
posted a loss of 6.9%. Economic and political instability
worldwide created disruptions in the financial markets. The U.S.
Administration was under fire, there was major trade tension
between the U.S. and Japan, instability in Russia, an
assassination in Mexico and conflict in Korea, all resulting in a
sharp decline in global stock and bond prices. The Yen/U.S.
Dollar relationship fluctuated sharply due to the concerns of
trade barriers or a potential trade war with Japan. The U.S.
Dollar declined relative to the European currencies and even
reached the lowest post World War II levels versus the Japanese
Yen. Physical commodities offered a few opportunities. Coffee
had a major rally after a severe freeze devastated the growing
area in Brazil, sugar prices rose to a three year high in October
and there were modest gains in precious metals. The Partnership
ended the year with a loss of $1,530,228.
In 1995 the Advisors were well-positioned to capitalize on many
trading opportunities, especially in the financial sector, which
produced a net gain of 23.03% for the year. The first quarter of
the year was the most profitable for the Partnership. The
February collapse of Barings PLC created opportunities,
especially in the Far Eastern markets. The Barings demise had a
global effect, sending stock prices falling around the world and
driving investors toward the safety of German marks and U.S.
Treasury bonds. The German mark benefited substantially from the
uncertain state of many world economies and gained steadily
versus the U.S. and other European currencies. Long positions in
foreign exchange generated sizable gains, with positions in the
Japanese yen, yen bond and the Nikkei 225 being the most
favorable. The balance of the year was much quieter in terms of
market opportunities, trends and profits. The Partnership ended
the year with a profit of $5,755,268.
To enhance the foregoing comparison of results of operations from
year to year, one can examine, line to line, the Statements of
Financial Condition and Operations. Due to sales of the
Partnership during 1995, position sizes placed in the market by
the Advisors by the end of the year were greater than at the end
of 1994. These larger position sizes caused the Partnership to
reflect the large balance in "Unrealized gain on open futures
contracts". Profitable trading by the Partnership during the
year resulted in the large gain in "Realized gain (loss) on
closed positions". This profitable trading also caused the
increase in incentive fees paid. These increased position sizes
and larger cash balances from sales as well as the profits
enjoyed by the Partnership also caused the Partnership to pay
larger commissions, management fees and General Partner fees
during 1994.
A combination of larger balances and higher interest rates caused
the significant increase in interest income in 1995.
As discussed earlier, the dollar decline versus the Japanese Yen
and the European currencies resulted in the Partnership's
"Foreign currency transaction gain".
The profits enjoyed by the Partnership also required that it
accrue for the Illinois Personal Property Replacement Tax which
caused the increase in Operating Expenses and the higher balance
in accrued Operating Expenses at the end of 1995.
The volume of sales for the month of December 1995 was
significantly less than for 1994. Therefore, the accrued selling
commissions and organization and offering expenses at the end of
1995 were substantially less than 1994.
Inflation
Inflation does have an effect on commodity prices and the
volatility of commodity markets; however, continued inflation is
not expected to have an adverse effect on the Partnership's
operations or assets.

Item 11. Executive Compensation
The Partnership has no officers or directors. The General
Partners, IDS Futures and CISI, administer the business and
affairs of the Partnership (exclusive of Partnership trading
decisions which are made by independent commodity trading
advisors). The officers and directors of the General Partners
receive no compensation from the Partnership for acting in their
respective capacities with the General Partners.
All operating and administrative expenses attributable to the
Partnership are paid by the General Partners except for brokerage
commissions, NFA, clearing and exchange fees, advisory fees,
legal, accounting, auditing, printing, recording and filing fees
and postage charges which are paid directly by the Partnership.
All expenses other than brokerage commissions incurred by the
Partnership and administrative fees are paid to persons not
affiliated with the Partnership. For the services performed
through December 31, 1992 on behalf of the Partnership, the
General Partners received an annual administrative fee totaling
1.75% of the Partnership's net assets. During 1993, this fee was
reduced to 1.375%. The General Partners received a total of
$326,936 in 1995, $203,019 in 1994 and $81,036 in 1993 for this
fee.
CIS, an affiliate of CISI, is the Partnership's clearing broker.
During the year ended December 31, 1995, the Partnership accrued
and paid $701,468 in brokerage commissions to CIS as compared to
$639,227 for 1994 and $367,379 for 1993. Of these commissions,
$30 per round turn trade was paid to AXP Advisors as the
Partnership's introducing broker and $20 was retained by CIS as
clearing broker until August 31, 1995 (based on a commission rate
of $50 per round turn trade). Effective September 1, 1995, $20
per round turn trade is paid to AXP Advisors and $15 is retained
by CIS (based on a reduced commission rate of $35 per round turn
trade).

commissions to CISFS.

Independent Auditors Report
The Partners
IDS Managed Futures, L.P.:
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial
condition of IDS Managed Futures, L.P. as of December 31, 1995
and 1994, and the related statements of operations, partners
capital, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1995. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Partnership s management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of IDS Managed Futures, L.P. as of December 31, 1995 and 1994,
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of
the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1995, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

IDS Managed Futures, L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements
(1) General Information and Summary
IDS Managed Futures, L.P. (the Partnership), a limited
partnership organized on December 16, 1986 under the Delaware
Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, was formed to engage in
the speculative trading of commodity interests including futures
contracts, forward contracts, physical commodities, and related
options thereon pursuant to the trading instructions of
independent trading advisors. The general partners are IDS
Futures Corporation (IDSFC) and CIS Investments, Inc. (CISI).
The clearing broker is Cargill Investor Services, Inc. (Clearing
Broker or CIS), the parent company of CISI.
Each unit of limited partnership interest was divided into three
units ( 3-for-1 split ) at the close of business on February 28,
1995, each unit having a net asset value per unit equal to the
previous net asset value per unit divided by three. Accordingly,
the total number of units outstanding tripled as of that date.
For comparative purposes, the respective prior years unit
amounts and net asset value per unit amounts have been restated
for the 3-for-1 split.
Units of limited partnership interest were offered by IDS
Financial Services Inc. (IDS) (an affiliate of IDSFC) commencing
March 27, 1987. The total amount of the offering was $7,500,000.
There is no definite number of units authorized for the
Partnership because investors affiliated with the Selling Agent
of the Partnership were not required to pay selling commissions.
By June 16, 1987, a total of 88,326 units representing a total
investment of $7,372,260 of limited partnership interest had
been sold. Selling commissions of $353,280 were paid to IDS.
Each of the general partners purchased 639 units. The
Partnership began trading on June 16, 1987.
Units of the limited partnership representing an additional
investment of $10,000,000 were offered by IDS commencing
March 29, 1993. An additional investment of $20,000,000 was
offered by IDS commencing January 31, 1994. Commencing June 26,
1995, American Express Financial Advisors Inc. (AXP Advisors)
(effective January 1, 1995 IDS Financial Services Inc. changed
its name to American Express Financial Advisors Inc.) offered an
additional investment of $50,000,000. By December 31, 1995, a
total of 96,782 units representing a total investment of
$25,605,280 of limited partnership interest had been sold in the
combined offerings. During the offerings, the general partners
purchased a total of 1,037 additional units representing a total
investment of $262,880. Selling commissions of $1,470,434 were
paid to AXP Advisors by the new limited partners. All new
investors paid organization and offering expenses totaling
$1,398,080.
No redemptions are permitted by a subscriber during the first six
months after he or she has been admitted to the Partnership.
thereafter, a Limited Partner may cause any or all of his or her
units to be redeemed by the Partnership effective as of the last
trading day of any month of the Partnership based on the Net
Asset Value per unit on ten days written notice to the General
Partners. Payment will be made within ten business days of the
effective date of the redemption. The Partnership s Limited
Partnership Agreement contains a full description of redemption
and distribution procedures.
The Partnership shall be terminated on December 31, 2006 if none
of the following occur prior to that date: (1) investors holding
more than 50% of the outstanding units notify the general
partners to dissolve the Partnership as of a specific date; (2)
disassociation of the general partners with the Partnership; (3)
bankruptcy of the Partnership; (4) decrease in the net asset
value to less than $500,000; (5) the Partnership is declared
unlawful; or (6) the net asset value per unit declines to less
than $125 per unit and the Partners elect to terminate the
Partnership.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting and reporting policies of the Partnership conform
to generally accepted accounting principles and to general
practices within the commodities industry. The following is a
description of the more significant of those policies which the
Partnership follows in preparing its financial statements.
Financial Accounting Standards Board ( FASB ) Interpretation No.
39 Reporting
Reporting in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 39 (FIN
39) is not applicable to the Partnership and the provisions of
FIN 39 do not have any effect on the Partnership's financial
statements.
Revenue Recognition
Commodity futures contracts, forward contracts, physical
commodities, and related options are recorded on the trade date.
All such transactions are reported on an identified cost basis.
Realized gains and losses are determined by comparing the
purchase price to the sales price when the trades are offset.
Unrealized gains and losses reflected in the statements of
financial condition represent the difference between original
contract amount and market value (as determined by exchange
settlement prices for futures contracts and related options and
cash dealer prices at a pre-determined time for forward
contracts, physical commodities, and their related options) as of
the last business day of the year or as of the last date of the
financial statements.
Prior to August 1, 1993, the Partnership earned interest on 100%
of the Partnership s average monthly cash balance on deposit with
the clearing broker at a rate equal to 80% of the average 90-day
treasury bill rate for treasury bills issued during that month.
Effective August 1, 1993 the rate was changed to 90% of the
average 90-day treasury bill rate for treasury bills issued
during that month.
Commissions
Brokerage commissions and National Futures Association (NFA),
clearing and exchange fees are accrued on a round-turn basis on
open commodity futures contracts. Prior to June 26, 1995 the
Partnership paid CIS commissions on trades executed on its behalf
at a rate of $50.00 per round-turn contract. With the June 26,
1995 offering, the rate was changed to $35.00 per round-turn
contract. The first subscribers to the offering came into the
fund at the end of August. Therefore, the new rate became
applicable in September 1995. The Partnership pays this
commission directly to CIS and CIS then reallocates the
appropriate portion to AXP Advisors.
Foreign Currency Transactions
Trading accounts in foreign currency denominations are
susceptible to both movements in the underlying contract markets
as well as fluctuation in currency rates. Translation of foreign
currencies into U.S. dollars for closed positions are translated
at an average exchange rate for the year, while year-end balances
are translated at the year-end currency rates. The impact of the
translation is reflected in the statements of operations.
Statements of Cash Flows
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash includes cash
on deposit with Clearing Broker in commodity futures trading
accounts.
Use of Estimates
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 and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of increase and decrease in net assets from
operations during the period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
(3) Fees
Management fees are accrued and paid monthly, incentive fees are
accrued monthly and paid quarterly, and general partners
administrative fees are paid annually and amortized monthly.
Trading decisions for the period of these financial statements
were made by the following Commodity Trading Advisors (CTAs):
John W. Henry & Company, Inc. (Henry) and Sabre Fund Management
Limited (Sabre).
Under signed agreement, Sabre will receive a monthly management
fee of 1/4 of 1% of the month-end new asset value of the
Partnership under their management and 18% of the Partnership s
net trading profits, if any, in each quarter attributable to
their trading. Effective December 1, 1991 to June 30, 1993, the
agreement with Sabre was changed to reduce the management fees
paid to them to 1/8th of 1% of the month-end net assets.Under
signed agreement, Henry will receive a monthly management fee of
1/3 of 1% of the month-end new asset value of the Partnership
under their management and 15% of the Partnership s net trading
profits, if any, attributable to their management.
The Partnership pays an annual administrative fee of 1.125% and
.25% of the beginning of the year net asset value of the
Partnership to IDSFC and CISI, respectively.
(4) Income Taxes
No provision for Federal income taxes has been made in the
accompanying financial statements as each partner is responsible
for reporting income (loss) based on the pro rata share of the
profits or losses of the Partnership. The Partnership is
responsible for the Illinois State Partnership Information and
Replacement Tax based on the operating results of the
Partnership. Such tax amounted to $21,393 and $86,546 for the
years ended December 31, 1993 and 1995, respectively, and is
included in operating expenses in the statement of operations.
No such tax was incurred for the years ended December 31, 1994 as
the Partnership sustained net losses.
(5) Financial Instruments with Off-balance Sheet Risk
The Partnership was formed to speculatively trade commodity
interests. The Partnership s commodity interest transactions and
its related cash balance are on deposit with the Clearing Broker
at all times. In the event that volatility of trading of other
customers of the Clearing Broker impaired the ability of the
Clearing Broker to satisfy its obligations to the Partnership,
the Partnership would be exposed to off-balance sheet risk. Such
risk is defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 105 (SFAS 105) as a credit risk. To mitigate this risk, the
Clearing Broker, pursuant to the mandates of the Commodity
Exchange Act, is required to maintain funds deposited by
customers relating to futures contracts in regulated commodities
in separate bank accounts which are designated as segregated
customers accounts. In addition, the Clearing Broker has set
aside funds deposited by customers relating to foreign futures
and options in separate bank accounts which are designated as
customer secured accounts. Lastly, the Clearing Broker is
subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission s Uniform Net
Capital Rule which requires the maintenance of minimum net
capital at least equal to 4% of the funds required to be
segregated pursuant to the Commodity Exchange Act. The Clearing
Broker has controls in place to make certain that all customers
maintain adequate margin deposits for the positions which they
maintain at the Clearing Broker. Such procedures should protect
the Partnership from the off-balance sheet risk as mentioned
earlier. The Clearing Broker does not engage in proprietary
trading and thus has no direct market exposure.
The contractual amounts of commitments to purchase and sell
exchange traded futures contracts was $284,240,048 and
$225,727,635, respectively, on December 31, 1995, and
$367,657,629 and $283,946,414, respectively, on December 31,
1994. The contractual amounts of these instruments reflect the
extent of the Partnership s involvement in the related futures
contracts and do not reflect the risk of loss due to counterparty
performance. Such risk is defined by SFAS 105 as credit risk.
The counterparty of the Partnership for futures contracts traded
in the United States and most non-U.S. exchanges on which the
fund trades is the Clearing House associated with the exchange.
In general, Clearing Houses are backed by the membership and will
act in the event of non-performance by one of its members or one
of the members customers and as such should significantly reduce
this credit risk. In the cases where the Partnership trades on
exchanges on which the Clearing House is not backed by the
membership, the sole recourse of the Partnership for
nonperformance will be the Clearing House.
The average fair value of commodity interests was $1,168,519 and
$859,000 during 1995 and 1994, respectively. Fair value as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994 was $1,705,569 and $1,340,020,
respectively. The net gains or losses arising from the trading
of commodity interests are presented in the statement of
operations.
The Partnership holds futures and futures options positions on
the various exchanges throughout the world. The Partnership does
not trade over the counter contracts. As defined by SFAS 105,
futures positions are classified as financial instruments. SFAS
105 requires that the Partnership disclose the market risk of
loss from all of its financial instruments. Market risk is
defined as the possibility that future changes in market prices
may make a financial instrument less valuable or more onerous.
If the markets should move against all of the futures positions
held by the Partnership at the same time, and if the markets
moved such that the CTAs were unable to offset the futures
positions of the Partnership, the Partnership could lose all of
its assets and the partners would realize a 100% loss. The
Partnership has contracts with two CTAs who make the trading
decisions. One of the CTAs trades a program diversified among
all commodity groups, while the other is diversified among the
various futures contracts in the financial and metals group.
Both CTAs trade on U.S. and non-U.S. exchanges. Such
diversification should greatly reduce this market risk.
At December 31, 1995, the cash requirement of the commodity
interests of the Partnership was $3,655,729. This cash
requirement is met by $30,204,044 held in segregated funds and
$2,941,721 held in secured funds. At December 31, 1994, the cash
requirement of the commodity interests of the Partnership of
$2,923,318 was met by $21,069,467 being held in segregated funds
and $2,312,483 being held in secured funds. At December 31, 1995
and 1994, cash was on deposit with the Clearing Broker which
exceeded the cash requirement amount.
The following chart discloses the dollar amount of the unrealized
gain or loss on open contracts related to exchange traded
contracts for the Partnership at December 31, 1995 and 1994:
Commodity Group 1995 1994
Agricultural $212,081 $542,558
Currency 51,557 (193,887)
Stock Indices 220,579 -
Energies 425,780 30,118
Metals (49,905) 107,205
Interest 845,477 854,026
Total $1,705,569 $1,340,020
The range of maturity dates of these exchange traded open
contracts is January 1996 to December 1996.
