Managed Futures

Over the long term, managed futures can represent a class of “alternative investments” which could provide diversification to a traditional portfolio of equities and bonds.¹ Qualified Investors can participate in the futures and commodities markets using managed futures, which can provide:

Potential to lower overall portfolio risk
Opportunity to enhance overall portfolio returns
Broad diversification opportunities
Opportunity to profit in a variety of economic environments

¹Diversification does not ensure a profit or guarantee against loss. It is a method used to manage risk.
