REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Unitholders of
Kenmar Global Trust
We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition, including the condensed schedule of investments, of Kenmar Global Trust (the Trust) as of December 31, 2005 and the related statements of operations and changes in Unitholders capital for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trusts management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, including the condensed schedule of investments for 2004, were audited by other auditors whose report dated March 9, 2005, expressed unqualified opinions on those statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trusts internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides 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 the Trust at December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations and changes in its Unitholders capital for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

KENMAR GLOBAL TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. | ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
A. | General Description of the Fund |
Kenmar Global Trust (the Fund) is a Delaware business trust. The Fund is a multi-advisor, multi-strategy commodity pool which trades in United States (U.S.) and foreign futures, options, forward currency and related markets.
B. | Regulation |
As a registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund is subject to the regulatory requirements under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As a commodity pool, the Fund is subject to the regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, an agency of the U.S. government which regulates most aspects of the commodity futures industry; rules of the National Futures Association, an industry self-regulatory organization; and the requirements of the various commodity exchanges where the Fund executes transactions. Additionally, the Fund is subject to the requirements of the futures commission merchants (brokers) and interbank market makers through which the Fund trades.
C. | Basis of Accounting |
The financial statements of the Fund are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Such principles require the Managing Owner 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Commodity futures and forward transactions are reflected in the accompanying statements of financial condition on trade date. Net unrealized gain or loss on open contracts (the difference between contract trade price and market price) is reflected in the statement of financial condition in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 39 Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts. The market value of each contract is based upon the closing quotation on the exchange, clearing firm or bank on, or through, which the contract is traded. Any change in net unrealized gain or loss during the current period is reported in the statement of operations. Realized gains and losses on commodity transactions are recognized in the period in which the contracts are closed. Brokerage commissions paid directly to brokers, reflected as brokerage commissions in the statement of operations, include exchange and other trading fees and are charged to expense when contracts are opened.
The weighted average number of Units outstanding was computed for purposes of disclosing net income (loss) per weighted average Unit. The weighted average Units are equal to the number of Units outstanding at period end, adjusted proportionately for Units subscribed and redeemed based on their respective time outstanding during such period.
The Fund has elected not to provide a Statement of Cash Flows as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 102, Statement of Cash Flows-Exemption of Certain Enterprises and Classification of Cash Flows from Certain Securities Acquired for Resale.

KENMAR GLOBAL TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Note 1. | ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) |
C. | Basis of Accounting (Continued) |
Consistent with standard business practices in the normal course of business, the Fund has provided general indemnifications to the Managing Owner, its Commodity Trading Advisors and others when they act, in good faith, in the best interests of the Fund. The Fund is unable to develop an estimate of the maximum potential amount of future payments that could potentially result from any hypothetical future claim, but expects the risk of having to make any payments under these general business indemnifications to be remote.
Cash represents amounts deposited with clearing brokers, a portion of which are restricted for purposes of meeting margin requirements, which typically range from 0% to 35% of the notional amounts of the derivatives traded, and receives interest on all cash balances held by the clearing brokers at prevailing rates.
D. | Income Taxes |
The Fund is treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes. As such, the Fund is not required to provide for, or pay, any Federal or state income taxes. Income tax attributes that arise from its operations are passed directly to the individual Unitholders including the Managing Owner. The Fund may be subject to other state and local taxes in jurisdictions in which it operates.
E. | Offering Costs |
Offering costs are borne by the Fund and are charged directly to unitholders capital as incurred.
F. | Foreign Currency Transactions |
The Funds functional currency is the U.S. dollar; however, it transacts business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect at the date of the statement of financial condition. Income and expense items denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect during the period. Gains and losses resulting from the translation to U.S. dollars are reported in income currently.
Note 2. | MANAGING OWNER |
The Managing Owner of the Fund is Preferred Investment Solutions Corp. (previously, Kenmar Advisory Corp.), which conducts and manages the business of the Fund. The Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement requires the Managing Owner to maintain a capital account equal to at least 1% of the total capital accounts of the Fund. The Managing Owner has agreed to maintain a net worth of not less than $1,000,000. At December 31, 2005, the Managing Owner has a net worth in excess of $1,000,000.

KENMAR GLOBAL TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Note 2. | MANAGING OWNER (CONTINUED) |
Effective March 1, 2004, the Managing Owner is paid monthly brokerage commissions (Managing Owner Brokerage Commissions) equal to 1/12 of 10% (10% annually) of the Funds beginning of month Net Asset Value on the first $25 million of Net Asset Value and 1/12 of 9% (9% annually) of the Funds beginning of month Net Asset Value in excess of $25 million. During the period May 9, 2003 to February 28, 2004, the Managing Owner brokerage commissions were equal to 1/12 of 10% (10% annually) of the Funds beginning of month Net Asset Value. Prior to May 9, 2003, the Managing Owner brokerage commissions were equal to 1/12 of 11% (11% annually) of the Funds beginning of month Net Asset Value. The Managing Owner, in turn, pays substantially all actual costs of executing the Funds consulting trades, selling commissions and trailing commissions to selling agents, and fees to the commodity trading advisors. Managing Owner brokerage commissions are reduced by brokerage commissions and other trading fees paid directly to brokers by the Fund. For the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, brokerage commissions equated to an approximate round-turn equivalent rate of $68, $58 and $62, respectively. Such approximate round-turn equivalent brokerage commission rate will vary depending on the frequency of trading by the Funds commodity trading advisors.
The Managing Owner is paid an incentive fee equal to 5% of New Overall Appreciation (which is defined in the Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement and excludes interest income) as of each fiscal year-end and upon redemption of Units. No incentive fee was earned by the Managing Owner during 2005, 2004 and 2003.
Note 3. | COMMODITY TRADING ADVISORS |
The Fund has advisory agreements with various commodity trading advisors pursuant to which the Fund pays quarterly profit shares of 20% of Trading Profit (as defined in each respective advisory agreement).
Note 4. | SUBSCRIPTIONS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND REDEMPTIONS |
Investments in Units of Beneficial Interest are made by subscription agreement, subject to acceptance by the Managing Owner. As of February 1, 2006, new subscriptions will not be accepted by the Fund until a new offering document is filed with the SEC.
The Fund is not required to make distributions, but may do so at the sole discretion of the Managing Owner. A Unitholder may request and receive redemption of Units owned, subject to restrictions in the Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement.
Units purchased on or after May 31, 2004 and redeemed prior to the end of the twelfth month after such Units are sold are subject to the following redemption charges paid to the Managing Owner: 3.5% of Net Asset Value redeemed on or after the end of the first and on or before the end of the third month after purchase; 2.625% of Net Asset Value redeemed from the beginning of the fourth and on or before the end of the sixth month after purchase; 1.75% of Net Asset Value redeemed from the beginning of the seventh and on or before the end of the ninth month after purchase; and 0.875% of Net Asset Value redeemed from the beginning of the tenth and on or before the end of the twelfth month after purchase.

KENMAR GLOBAL TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Note 4. | SUBSCRIPTIONS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND REDEMPTIONS (CONTINUED) |
Units purchased on or after February 28, 2004 and prior to May 31, 2004 and redeemed prior to the end of the twelfth month after such Units are sold are subject to the following redemption charges paid to the Managing Owner: 3% of Net Asset Value redeemed on or after the end of the first and on or before the end of the third month after purchase; 2.625% of Net Asset Value redeemed from the beginning of the fourth and on or before the end of the sixth month after purchase; 1.75% of Net Asset Value redeemed from the beginning of the seventh and on or before the end of the ninth month after purchase; and 0.875% of Net Asset Value redeemed from the beginning of the tenth and on or before the end of the twelfth month after purchase.
Units purchased prior to February 28, 2004 may only be redeemed beginning on or after the end of the sixth month after sale. Such units redeemed on or before the end of the twelfth full calendar month and after the end of the twelfth full month but on or before the end of the eighteenth full calendar month after the date such Units begin to participate in the profits and losses of the Fund are subject to early redemption charges of 3% and 2%, respectively, of the Net Asset Value redeemed.
All redemption charges are paid to the Managing Owner. Such redemption charges are included in redemptions in the statement of changes in unitholders capital and amounted to $8,024, $17,240 and $1,845 during 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Note 5. | DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND ASSOCIATED RISKS |
The Fund is exposed to various types of risks associated with the derivative instruments and related markets in which it invests. These risks include, but are not limited to, risk of loss from fluctuations in the value of derivative instruments held (market risk) and the inability of counterparties to perform under the terms of the Funds investment activities (credit risk).
Market Risk
Trading in futures and forward contracts (including foreign exchange) involves entering into contractual commitments to purchase or sell a particular commodity at a specified date and price. The gross or face amount of the contracts, which is typically many times that of the Funds net assets being traded, significantly exceeds the Funds future cash requirements since the Fund intends to close out its open positions prior to settlement. As a result, the Fund is generally subject only to the risk of loss arising from the change in the value of the contracts. As such, the Fund considers the fair value of its derivative instruments to be the net unrealized gain or loss on the contracts. The market risk associated with the Funds commitments to purchase commodities is limited to the gross or face amount of the contracts held. However, when the Fund enters into a contractual commitment to sell commodities, it must make delivery of the underlying commodity at the contract price and then repurchase the contracts at prevailing market prices or settle in cash. Since the repurchase price to which a commodity can rise is unlimited, entering into commitments to sell commodities exposes the Fund to unlimited risk.
Market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including government programs and policies, political and economic events, the level and volatility of interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, the diversification effect among the derivative instruments the Fund holds and the liquidity and inherent volatility of the markets in which the Fund trades.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Note 5. | DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND ASSOCIATED RISKS (CONTINUED) |
Credit Risk
When entering into futures or forward contracts, the Fund is exposed to credit risk that the counterparty to the contract will not meet its obligations. The counterparty for futures contracts traded on United States and most foreign futures exchanges is the clearinghouse associated with the particular exchange. In general, clearinghouse are backed by their corporate members who are required to share any financial burden resulting from the non-performance by one of their members and, as such, should significantly reduce this credit risk. In cases where the clearinghouse is not backed by the clearing members (i.e., some foreign exchanges), it is normally backed by a consortium of banks or other financial institutions. On the other hand, there is concentration risk on forward transactions, entered into by the Fund as the Funds interbank market maker, is the sole counterparty. The Fund has entered into a master netting agreement with its interbank market maker and, as a result, when applicable, presents unrealized gains and losses on open forward positions as a net amount in the statements of financial condition. The amount at risk associated with counterparty non-performance of all of the Funds contracts is the net unrealized gain included in the statements of financial condition; however, counterparty non-performance on only certain of the Funds contracts may result in greater loss than non-performance on all of the Funds contracts. There can be no assurance that any counterparty, clearing member or clearinghouse will meet its obligations to The Fund.
The Managing Owner attempts to minimize both credit and market risks by requiring the Fund and its Commodity Trading Advisors to abide by various trading limitations and policies. The Managing Owner monitors compliance with these trading limitations and policies, which include, but are not limited to, executing and clearing all trades with creditworthy counterparties; limiting the amount of margin or premium required for any one commodity or all commodities combined; and generally limiting transactions to contracts which are traded in sufficient volume to permit the taking and liquidating of positions.
The Funds futures commission merchant, in accepting orders for the purchase or sale of domestic futures contracts, is required by Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) regulations to separately account for and segregate as belonging to the Fund all assets of the Fund relating to domestic futures trading and is not allowed to commingle such assets with its other assets. At December 31, 2005, such segregated assets totaled $9,384,117. Part 30.7 of the CFTC regulations also requires the Funds futures commission merchant to secure assets of the Fund related to foreign futures trading which totaled $(309,187) at December 31, 2005. There are no segregation requirements for assets related to forward trading.
As of December 31, 2005, all of the Funds open futures contracts mature within 24 months.
Note 6. | INDEMNIFICATIONS |
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The Fund expects the risk of any future obligation under these indemnifications to be remote.
