Introduction
The unique benefits of managed futures include professional management, the potential ability to profit from up, down and sideways markets and the simple fact that managed futures are not strongly correlated to other asset classes.
Asset growth has resulted in the increase of the number of traders that make up this industry, but it has also provided investors with a much more difficult process when it comes to selecting the right commodity trading advisor (CTA). So, while managed futures as an asset class might make sense, not all traders are alike. The returns of the traders are based on several different factors. Here, we'll take a look at some other ways that CTAs differ and how these differences can affect returns for investors.
Trading futures and options involves substantial risk of loss and is
not suitable for everyone. There is risk of loss no matter who is
managing your money. Selling options involves unlimited risk of loss.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.
