Risk Reduction & Performance Enhancement Benefits
Managed futures trading advisors,
or CTAs, can generate profit in both rising and falling markets due to the their ability to go long (buy) futures positions in anticipation of rising markets or go short (sell) futures positions in anticipation of falling markets. Moreover, CTAs are able
to go long or short with equal ease.
As the above chart illustrates, there is virtual non-correlation with most traditional asset classes, which have resulted in managed futures potentially performing at a generally higher level relative to traditional asset classes.
Trading futures and options involves substantial risk of loss no matter who is managing your money and is not suitable for all investors.  Past performance is not indicative of future results.
