Managed futures are most often associated with commodities but are, in fact, a much broader asset class. Managed futures encompasses commodities, equity indexes, currency, bonds, and options derivatives. A managed futures account may typically contain a mix of any of these financial instruments.
The cornerstones of managed futures as an asset class are transparency, liquidity, and true diversification.
Commodity trading advisors, or CTA's, trade each separately managed account.
Incorporating managed futures into portfolio design has the potential to increase the reward factor while possibly decreasing overall portfolio risk. The efficient frontier dictates that the maximized risk/reward ratio is achieved through a mix of stocks, bonds, and managed futures.
Our assortment of CTA's provides investment programs for a wide array of strategies.
Managed futures programs have the potential to profit in an up, down, and sideways trading market. Because of this, managed futures are increasingly being embraced by wealth managers as a means of providing uncorrelated and absolute returns.
