Managed Futures Account

What are Managed Futures?

Managed futures have been used successfully by investment management professionals for more than 30 years. Institutional investors looking to maximize portfolio exposure continue to increase their use of managed futures as an integral component of a well diversified portfolio. With the ability to go both long and short, managed futures are highly flexible financial instruments with the potential to profit from rising and falling markets. Moreover, managed futures programs have virtually no correlation to traditional asset classes, enabling them to enhance returns as well as lower overall volatility.

Growth in managed futures has been substantial. In 1980, $310 million was under management by managed futures trading advisors. By the end of 2010, that number had grown to more than $250 billion.

No longer are managed futures used exclusively by investment professionals. Over the last 10 years, participation in managed futures programs by individual investors has risen sharply. In this piece you will learn more about how managed futures can create portfolio diversification opportunities and lower overall volatility, along with additional statistics on why they have become
