Kenmar Advisory Corp. manages the Fund's trading by allocating its assets among multiple commodity trading advisors using different trading strategies. The Fund's objective is to achieve significant profits while controlling performance volatility and the risk of loss. Units of beneficial interest are issued as of the beginning of each month. Units may be redeemed as of the last day of each month, beginning with the first month-end following their sale. Effective June 1, 2004, Units redeemed on the 1st month-end through the 3rd month-end after sale are subject to a 3.5% redemption charge, Units redeemed on the 4th month-end through the 6th month-end after sale are subject to a 2.625% redemption charge, Units redeemed on the 7th month-end through the 9th month-end after sale are subject to a 1.75% redemption charge and Units redeemed on the 10th month-end through the 12th month-end after sale are subject to a 0.875% redemption charge. After the end of the 12th month, there will be no charge for redemption. Units purchased from March 1 through and including May 1, 2004 are subject to the same redemption fee schedule described in the immediately preceding paragraph, except that such Units are subject to a 3% redemption charge for Units redeemed on the 1st month-end through the 3rd month-end after sale.

Through the end of the twelfth and eighteenth full months after their sale, Units purchased prior to March 1, 2004 will be subject to redemption charges equal to 3% and 2%, respectively, of the Net Asset Value per Unit as of the date of redemption. The Selling Agents will use their best efforts to sell the Units offered. THE RISKS THESE ARE SPECULATIVE SECURITIES. BEFORE YOU DECIDE WHETHER TO INVEST, READ THIS ENTIRE PROSPECTUS CAREFULLY AND CONSIDER "THE RISKS YOU FACE" BEGINNING ON PAGE 10. o THE FUND IS SPECULATIVE AND LEVERAGED.

SEE "PART TWO -- STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION -- INVESTMENT FACTORS -- ADDITIONAL ADVANTAGES OF MANAGED FUTURES INVESTMENTS" AT PAGE 94 AND "REDEMPTIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS" AT PAGE 38. RISK FACTORS AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUND IS SPECULATIVE AND INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. o PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS; ALL OR SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF AN INVESTMENT COULD BE LOST. SEE "COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION--RISK DISCLOSURE STATEMENT" AT PAGE II AND "THE RISKS YOU FACE -- (1) INVESTORS MUST NOT RELY ON THE PAST PERFORMANCE OF EITHER KENMAR OR THE FUND IN DECIDING WHETHER TO BUY UNITS" AND "THE RISKS YOU FACE -- (2) POSSIBLE TOTAL LOSS OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUND" AT PAGE 10. o THE FUND'S TRADING IS HIGHLY LEVERAGED AND TAKES PLACE IN VERY VOLATILE MARKETS. SEE "THE FUND AND ITS OBJECTIVES" AT PAGE 15 AND "THE RISKS YOU FACE -- (3) SPECULATIVE AND VOLATILE MARKETS; HIGHLY LEVERAGED TRADING" AT PAGE 10. o THE FUND IS SUBJECT TO SUBSTANTIAL CHARGES AND WILL BE SUCCESSFUL ONLY IF SIGNIFICANT PROFITS ARE ACHIEVED. THE FUND MUST GENERATE TRADING PROFITS OF 11.65% PER ANNUM, BEFORE ANY APPLICABLE REDEMPTION CHARGE, TO BREAKEVEN. AN INVESTOR WHO REDEEMS IN THE FIRST YEAR WILL BE ASSESSED A REDEMPTION PENALTY AND, THUS, OVERALL TRADING PROFITS OF APPROXIMATELY 12.427% OF THE FUND'S AVERAGE BEGINNING OF MONTH NET ASSETS MUST BE EARNED DURING THE FIRST YEAR OF TRADING IN ORDER TO BREAKEVEN. (THIS ASSUMES THAT THE UNITS WHICH ARE PURCHASED ON AND AFTER JUNE 1, 2004 AND ARE REDEEMED ON THE 10TH THROUGH THE 12TH MONTH-END FOLLOWING SALE AND, THEREFORE, ARE SUBJECT TO A 0.875% REDEMPTION CHARGE. REDEMPTIONS ON THE 1ST THROUGH 3RD MONTH-END ARE SUBJECT TO A 3.5% REDEMPTION CHARGE, REDEMPTIONS ON THE 4TH THROUGH 6TH MONTH-END ARE SUBJECT TO A 2.625% REDEMPTION CHARGE AND REDEMPTIONS ON THE 7TH THROUGH 9TH MONTH-END ARE SUBJECT TO A 1.75% REDEMPTION CHARGE.) SEE "-- BREAKEVEN TABLE," AT PAGE 8, "CHARGES" AT PAGE 31 AND "THE RISKS YOU FACE-- (4) FEES AND COMMISSIONS ARE CHARGED REGARDLESS OF PROFITABILITY AND ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE" AT PAGE 10. UNITS PURCHASED FROM MARCH 1 THROUGH AND INCLUDING MAY 1, 2004 ARE SUBJECT TO THE SAME REDEMPTION FEE SCHEDULE DESCRIBED IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING PARAGRAPH, EXCEPT THAT SUCH UNITS ARE SUBJECT TO A 3% REDEMPTION CHARGE FOR UNITS REDEEMED ON THE 1ST MONTH-END THROUGH THE 3RD MONTH-END AFTER SALE. UNITS PURCHASED PRIOR TO MARCH 1, 2004 REMAIN SUBJECT TO THE PREVIOUS SCHEDULE OF REDEMPTION CHARGES AND MAY ONLY BE REDEEMED BEGINNING ON OR AFTER THE END OF THE SIXTH MONTH AFTER SALE. THROUGH THE END OF THE -5-

TWELFTH AND EIGHTEENTH FULL MONTHS AFTER THEIR SALE, UNITS PURCHASED PRIOR TO MARCH 1, 2004 WILL BE SUBJECT TO REDEMPTION CHARGES EQUAL TO 3% AND 2%, RESPECTIVELY, OF THE NET ASSET VALUE PER UNIT AS OF THE DATE OF REDEMPTION. o CERTAIN GENERAL TYPES OF MARKET CONDITIONS -- IN PARTICULAR, TRENDLESS PERIODS WITHOUT MAJOR PRICE MOVEMENTS -- SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE POTENTIAL FOR CERTAIN ADVISORS TO TRADE SUCCESSFULLY. SEE "THE RISKS YOU FACE -- (5) IMPORTANCE OF MARKET CONDITIONS TO PROFITABILITY" AT PAGE 10. THE FUND AND ITS OBJECTIVES The Fund is a multi-advisor, multi-strategy managed futures investment portfolio. The Fund trades under the management of multiple Advisors selected from time to time by Kenmar. Kenmar has substantial experience in managing multi-advisor portfolios, implementing both quantitative and qualitative methods of individual advisor selection and asset allocation, as well as overall portfolio design. The Advisors trade entirely independently of each other, implementing proprietary strategies in the markets of their choice. The Fund has access to global futures, forward and options trading with the ability rapidly to deploy and redeploy its capital across different sectors of the global economy. In addition to selecting and allocating and reallocating Fund assets among Advisors, Kenmar monitors and adjusts the overall leverage at which the Fund trades. The Fund's commitment to the Advisors may exceed 100% of total Fund equity should Kenmar decide to strategically allocate notional equity to the Advisors. There are periods in the markets during which it is unlikely that any Advisor or group of Advisors will achieve profitability. By having the ability to deleverage the Fund's market commitment to below its actual equity during such periods, Kenmar could help preserve capital while awaiting more favorable market cycles. Under the Fund's Fourth Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, Wilmington Trust Company, the Fund's Trustee, has delegated to Kenmar the exclusive management and control of all aspects of the business of the Fund. The Trustee will have no duty or liability to supervise or monitor the performance of Kenmar, nor will the Trustee have any liability for the acts or omissions of Kenmar. THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE FUND WILL ACHIEVE ITS RATE OF RETURN OR DIVERSIFICATION OBJECTIVE OR AVOID SUBSTANTIAL LOSSES. KENMAR ADVISORY CORP. Kenmar, a Connecticut corporation originally formed in 1983 as a New York corporation, and its affiliates have been sponsoring and managing single- and multi-advisor funds for over a decade. As of February 29, 2004, Kenmar and its affiliates were acting as trading manager for commodity pools and accounts with total capital (excluding "notional" funds) of approximately $1.2 billion, of which approximately $26 million was invested in commodity pools operated by Kenmar. The principal office of the Fund is c/o Kenmar Advisory Corp., Two American Lane, Greenwich, Connecticut 06831. The telephone number of the Fund and Kenmar is (203) 861-1000. SEE "PERFORMANCE OF KENMAR GLOBAL TRUST" FOR PAST PERFORMANCE OF THE FUND ON PAGE 49. SEE "PERFORMANCE OF COMMODITY POOLS OPERATED BY KENMAR" FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF OTHER COMMODITY POOLS MANAGED BY KENMAR. THE ADVISORS The Advisors are all well-established in the managed futures industry and have, in the past, demonstrated the ability to make substantial profits in a wide range of different market conditions. These Advisors, collectively, represent a range of technical, systematic, fundamental and discretionary methodologies, with extensive experience trading both proprietary and client capital. PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS. THE FACT THAT AN ADVISOR HAS TRADED SUCCESSFULLY IN THE PAST DOES NOT MEAN THAT SUCH ADVISOR WILL DO SO IN THE FUTURE. As of February 29, 2004, the core Advisors were collectively managing approximately $6.9 billion (excluding notional funds, except with respect to Graham Capital Management, L.P.) in managed futures accounts in which their clients (and in certain cases the core Advisors themselves) had invested approximately $2.6 billion in the trading programs being used for the Fund. See "The Fund and its Objectives -- Investment Philosophy" at page 15. TAX STATUS OF THE FUND In the opinion of counsel, the Fund is properly classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Unitholders will pay tax each year on -6-

SUMMARY (CONT'D) their allocable share of the Fund's taxable income, if any, whether or not they receive any distributions from the Fund or redeem any Units. Substantially all of the Fund's trading gains and losses will be treated as capital gains or losses for tax purposes; interest income received by the Fund will be treated as ordinary income. See "Federal Income Tax Consequences" at page 42. "BREAKEVEN TABLE" The "Breakeven Table" on the following page indicates the approximate percentage and dollar returns required for the redemption value of an initial $5,000 investment in the Units to equal the amount originally invested twelve months after issuance (assuming the Units are purchased on and after June 1, 2004 and redeemed on the 10th through the 12th month-end following sale and, therefore, are subject to a 0.875% redemption charge). Units purchased on and after June 1, 2004 and redeemed between the 1st through 3rd month-end are subject to a 3.5% redemption charge, redemptions on the 4th through 6th month-end are subject to a 2.625% redemption charge and redemptions on the 7th through 9th month-end are subject to a 1.75% redemption charge. Redemptions after the 12th month-end are at Net Asset Value (no charge). Units purchased from March 1 through and including May 1, 2004 are subject to the same redemption fee schedule described in the immediately preceding paragraph, except that such Units are subject to a 3% redemption charge for Units redeemed on the 1st month-end through the 3rd month-end after sale. Units purchased prior to March 1, 2004, remain subject to redemption charges and may only be redeemed beginning on or after the end of the sixth month after sale. Through the end of the twelfth and eighteenth full months after their sale, Units purchased prior to March 1, 2004 will be subject to redemption charges equal to 3% and 2%, respectively, of the Net Asset Value per Unit as of the date of redemption. THE "BREAKEVEN TABLE," AS PRESENTED, IS AN APPROXIMATION ONLY AND MAY BE AFFECTED TO A CERTAIN EXTENT AS THE SIZE OF THE FUND EXCEEDS $25 MILLION. THE FUND'S CAPITALIZATION DOES NOT DIRECTLY AFFECT THE LEVEL OF ITS CHARGES AS A PERCENTAGE OF NET ASSET VALUE, OTHER THAN (I) ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES (WHICH ARE ASSUMED IN THE "BREAKEVEN TABLE" TO EQUAL THE MAXIMUM ESTIMATED PERCENTAGE OF THE FUND'S AVERAGE BEGINNING OF MONTH NET ASSETS) AND (II) BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS, AS DESCRIBED FURTHER IN FOOTNOTE 3.

Calculations are based on $5,000 as the Net Asset Value per Unit. See "Charges" at page 31 of the Prospectus for an explanation of the expenses included in the "Breakeven Table." (2) Paid to Kenmar each month. Kenmar pays all floor brokerage, exchange, clearing and NFA fees, selling compensation, trailing commissions and Advisors' Consulting Fees from this amount. (3) Effective March 1, 2004, once Net Assets reach $25 million, the annual Brokerage Commission rate will be reduced to a blended rate for all Net Assets based on 10% of the first $25 million and 9% on any Net Assets over that amount. A reduction in the annual Brokerage Commission rate will reduce the percentage return required to breakeven. (4) Administrative expenses are paid as incurred. For this "Breakeven Table" such expenses are at historical amounts. (5) Profit Shares are calculated quarterly on the basis of each Advisor's individual performance, not the overall performance of the Fund. Consequently, it is not possible to determine the amount of Profit Shares, if any, that would be payable in a "breakeven" year. Kenmar believes that 2.00% of average beginning of month Net Assets is a reasonable estimate for such Profit Shares, but the actual Profit Shares paid in a "breakeven" year could substantially exceed such estimate. (6) No Incentive Fee might, in fact, be due. See "Charges -- Profit Shares and Incentive Fees" at page 32. However, for purposes of the "Breakeven Table," the Incentive Fee has been estimated at 5% of the 0.883% gain referred to below. (7) Redemption charges for purposes of this "breakeven" analysis equal 0.883% of the initial $5,000 (0.875% of the $5,044.15 Net Asset Value required so that after subtraction of the 0.875% redemption charge, the investor would receive net redemption proceeds of $5,000). (8) For the purposes of this Breakeven Table, it has been assumed that Units have been purchased on or after June 1, 2004 and the redemption charge is based on the applicable redemption charge for Units redeemed on the 10th through 12th month-end. FOR UNITS REDEEMED ON THE 1ST THROUGH 3RD MONTH-END THE REDEMPTION CHARGE WOULD BE 3.5%; FOR UNITS REDEEMED ON THE 4TH THROUGH 6TH MONTH-END THE REDEMPTION CHARGE WOULD BE 2.625%; AND FOR UNITS REDEEMED ON THE 7TH THROUGH 9TH MONTH-END THE REDEMPTION CHARGE WOULD BE 1.75%. (9) Units purchased from March 1 through and including May 1, 2004 are subject to the same redemption fee schedule described in the immediately preceding footnote, except that such Units are subject to a 3% redemption charge for Units redeemed on the 1st month-end through the 3rd month-end after sale. Units purchased prior to March 1, 2004, remain subject to redemption charges and may only be redeemed beginning on or after the end of the sixth month after sale. Through the end of the twelfth and eighteenth full months after their sale, Units purchased prior to March 1, 2004 will be subject to redemption charges equal to 3% and 2%, respectively, of the Net Asset Value per Unit as of the date of redemption. For the purposes of the Breakeven Table the applicable redemption charge for Units redeemed as of the twelfth month-end would be 3% and therefore the percentage return required to breakeven would be 14.65%. (10) Interest income is estimated based on current rates. -8-

SUMMARY (CONT'D) ---------------- SUITABILITY THE FUND TRADES AT A HIGH DEGREE OF LEVERAGE IN HIGHLY VOLATILE MARKETS. AN INVESTMENT IN THE UNITS IS SPECULATIVE AND INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE FUND WILL ACHIEVE ITS OBJECTIVES. NO SUBSCRIBER MAY INVEST MORE THAN 10% OF HIS OR HER NET WORTH (IN ALL CASES EXCLUSIVE OF HOME, FURNISHINGS AND AUTOMOBILES) IN THE FUND. SUBSCRIBERS MUST BE PREPARED TO LOSE ALL OR SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF THEIR INVESTMENT. SEE EXHIBIT B OF THIS PROSPECTUS FOR A LISTING OF THE SPECIFIC SUITABILITY REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO AN INVESTMENT IN THE UNITS. THE UNITS ARE SPECULATIVE AND INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK.

THE RISKS YOU FACE (1) INVESTORS MUST NOT RELY ON THE PAST PERFORMANCE OF EITHER KENMAR OR THE FUND IN DECIDING WHETHER TO BUY UNITS The future performance of the Fund is not predictable, and no assurance can be given that the Fund will perform successfully in the future. Prospective investors should note that Kenmar replaced most of the Advisors as of December 2, 1999 and has altered its allocation strategy to include a core group of Advisors as well as a non-core group of Advisors. Kenmar anticipates actively reallocating Fund assets among the non-core Advisors. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. (2) POSSIBLE TOTAL LOSS OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUND Futures and forward contracts have a high degree of price variability and are subject to occasional rapid and substantial changes. Consequently, you could lose all or substantially all of your investment in the Fund. (3) SPECULATIVE AND VOLATILE MARKETS; HIGHLY LEVERAGED TRADING The markets in which the Fund trades are speculative, highly leveraged and involve a high degree of risk. Each Advisor's trading considered individually involves a significant risk of incurring large losses, and there can be no assurance that the Fund as a whole will not incur such losses. Futures and forward prices are volatile. Volatility increases risk, particularly when trading with leverage. Trading on a highly leveraged basis, as does the Fund, even in stable markets involves risk; doing so in volatile markets necessarily involves a substantial risk of sudden, significant losses. MARKET VOLATILITY AND LEVERAGE MEAN THAT THE FUND COULD INCUR SUBSTANTIAL LOSSES, POTENTIALLY IMPAIRING ITS EQUITY BASE AND ABILITY TO ACHIEVE ITS LONG-TERM PROFIT OBJECTIVES EVEN IF FAVORABLE MARKET CONDITIONS SUBSEQUENTLY DEVELOP. In addition to the leveraged trading described above, Kenmar may further increase the Fund's leverage by allocating notional equity to the Advisors, which would then permit the Advisors to trade the Fund's account as if more equity were committed to such accounts than is, in fact, the case. (4) FEES AND COMMISSIONS ARE CHARGED REGARDLESS OF PROFITABILITY AND ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE The Fund is subject to substantial charges payable irrespective of profitability in addition to performance fees which are payable based on the Fund's profitability. Included in these charges are brokerage fees and operating expenses. On the Fund's forward trading, "bid-ask" spreads are incorporated into the pricing of the Fund's forward contracts by its counterparties in addition to the brokerage fees paid by the Fund. It is not possible to quantify the "bid-ask" spreads paid by the Fund because the Fund cannot determine the profit its counterparty is making on the forward trades into which it enters. Consequently, the Fund's expenses could, over time, result in significant losses to your investment. (5) IMPORTANCE OF MARKET CONDITIONS TO PROFITABILITY The trading systems used by certain Advisors for the Fund are technical, trend-following methods. The profitability of trading under these systems depends on, among other things, the occurrence of significant price trends which are sustained movements, up or down, in futures and forward prices. Such trends may not develop; there have been p
