Managed Futures
Managed Futures are an asset class in their own right, separate from traditional investments such as stocks and bonds. The term managed futures describes an industry comprised of professional money managers known as commodity trading advisors (CTAs). These trading advisors manage client assets on a discretionary basis using global futures markets as an investment medium. Trading advisors take positions based on expected profit potential and balance this with expected risk.
When choosing a managed futures fund, it is important to ensure the fund manager has a proven track record. Before investing, it is also advisable to check the magnitude and duration of the fund’s worst drawdown, or cumulative loss in value from any peak in performance to the subsequent low.
