Investing in Managed Futures

Managed Futures is for investors seeking sophisticated methods of portfolio diversification through asset management by commodity trading advisors (CTAs). Managed Futures is a growing asset class, and we believe it merits an allocation in many portfolios. Potential benefits, such as non-correlation, portfolio diversification, liquidity and transparency are reasons you may want to consider including managed futures as part of your investment portfolio.

What are Managed Futures?

CME Group answers this question and offers 10 Reasons to Allocate to Managed Futures.

Advantages of Managed Futures

Passive Participation

Participate in the futures markets without the time commitment of a self-directed or broker-assisted account.

Performance Transparency

Monitor performance with unlimited live access to account activity at the account, individual trader, and portfolio levels.

CTA Selection

With access to a database of more than 170 CTAs, match up with the products that are most appropriate for you based on your investing profile and preferences.

Liquidity

Make time-sensitive account changes with precision. With very few exceptions, the CTA database offers products providing daily liquidity.

Portfolio Diversification

The non-correlated exposure to managed futures tends to enhance the risk adjusted performance of a typical client’s more traditional, security-oriented portfolio. Managed futures clients gain access to a wide, often international, array of markets not normally accessible in a traditional portfolio. This diversification can provide respite in crisis periods.

Costs

Our goal is to create long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with our clients. Success in our goal is dependent upon structuring costs in such a way as to benefit all parties involved. To learn more, request a consultation using the button below.

Risk Disclosure

This material is conveyed as a solicitation for entering into a derivatives transaction.

This material has been prepared by a Daniels Trading broker who provides research market commentary and trade recommendations as part of his or her solicitation for accounts and solicitation for trades; however, Daniels Trading does not maintain a research department as defined in CFTC Rule 1.71. Daniels Trading, its principals, brokers and employees may trade in derivatives for their own accounts or for the accounts of others. Due to various factors (such as risk tolerance, margin requirements, trading objectives, short term vs. long term strategies, technical vs. fundamental market analysis, and other factors) such trading may result in the initiation or liquidation of positions that are different from or contrary to the opinions and recommendations contained therein.

Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance. The risk of loss in trading futures contracts or commodity options can be substantial, and therefore investors should understand the risks involved in taking leveraged positions and must assume responsibility for the risks associated with such investments and for their results.

Trade recommendations and profit/loss calculations may not include commissions and fees. Please consult your broker for details based on your trading arrangement and commission setup.

You should carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your circumstances and financial resources. You should read the "risk disclosure" webpage accessed at www.DanielsTrading.com at the bottom of the homepage. Daniels Trading is not affiliated with nor does it endorse any third-party trading system, newsletter or other similar service. Daniels Trading does not guarantee or verify any performance claims made by such systems or service.
