Why Managed Futures?

Profit Potential in Bull & Bear Markets

Unlike most traditional buy-and-hold strategies, managed futures is an absolute return strategy that can take a long or short position in any market in the portfolio. This flexibility offers profit potential in both bull and bear markets, and in periods of crisis as well as calm. The ability to go short when markets are weak is a hallmark of any managed futures strategy, and is valuable in helping it generate returns that can provide investors with value-added diversification across many different market environments. In fact, going short provides built-in risk management that allows a trend-following strategy to flip its position as trends change. As seen in the chart below, this flexibility has generated drawdowns (peak-to-trough declines in equity) that are significantly smaller and more consistent than most other investment strategies.
