Managed Futures
About Managed Futures
What are managed futures?
Managed futures are alternative investment vehicles known to be non-correlated with traditional investments in stocks and bonds. Why is this? From our experience, we have seen managers that are registered as either Commodity Trading Advisors (CTA) or Commodity Pool Operators (CPO) go both long and short on many financial and commodity futures markets around the world whereas traditional stock and bond investments are long only. CTAs and CPOs utilize various strategies, some of which may include:
- Short, medium and long term duration trend following
- Counter trend trading
- Day trading
- Fundamental based trading
- Global macro analysis to trade in energy, grains and soft markets
- Options selling strategies
The potential benefits of managed futures within a well-balanced portfolio include:
- Potential to lower overall portfolio risk.
- Potential opportunity to enhance overall portfolio returns
- Broad diversification opportunities.
- Potential opportunity to profit in a variety of economic environments.
- May limit losses due to a combination of flexibility and discipline.
