MANAGED FUTURES
The benefits of professionally managed accounts within a well-balanced portfolio include:
-
Opportunity for reduced portfolio volatility (risk).
-
Potential for enhanced portfolio returns.
-
Ability to profit in any economic environment
-
Opportunity to participate easily in global markets.
"Portfolios...including judicious investments...in leveraged managed futures accounts show substantially less risk at every possible level of expected return than portfolios of stocks (or stocks and bonds) alone" --Dr. John Lintner, Harvard Univ.
Professionally managed accounts may make sense if:
-
You have the stomach for higher volatility.
-
You seek profits from both up & down markets.
-
You haven't the time or expertise to trade yourself.

The Benefits of Managed Futures:
In actuality, the benefits of managed futures in a traditional securities portfolio fat outweigh their advantages as an independent investment. A great deal do academic research has been done on the effects of managed futures on investment portfolios. Dr John Lintner of Harvard University wrote that, "the combined portfolios of stocks (or stocks and bonds) after including judicious investments...in leveraged managed futures accounts show substantially less risk at every possible level of expected return than portfolios of stocks (or stocks and bonds) alone." In other words, add professionally managed futures and portfolio risk is reduced substantially.
Also, according to Nobel Prize winning economist Dr Harry M. Markowitz, more efficient investment portfolios can be created by diversifying among asset categories with low to negative correlations. Because of the lack of correlation between managed futures and stocks and bonds, adding managed futures to an investment portfolio can decrease volatility risk and simultaneously increase performance. In other word, add futures and not only can risk be reduced - comparing well with other asset classes - but returns can increase.
