Utilizing Managed Futures to Enhance Returns and Reduce Risk
In past investment landscapes, many alternative asset classes were often deemed
“too risky” or unnecessary for mainstream investors. In today’s investment
world however, some of these alternative asset classes are becoming an essential
part of any astute investor’s portfolio. Managed futures have proven themselves
to be one of these most valuable classes. Managed futures offer a family’s
portfolio the opportunity to reduce downside exposure to stock market sell-offs
and political uncertainty. As an extremely regulated industry, managed futures
protect against the fraud and ponzi scheme scenarios that were front page news
in 2008. With all of the challenges that exist in today’s investment landscape,
managed futures do have an important role to play in every family’s portfolio
–and now, more than ever, sophisticated investors must do their homework so they
can make the smart decisions in asset allocation. Don’t miss this educational
session on Managed Futures, which closely examines these key issues:
- Managed Futures 101 -This alternative asset class might not be what you think
- Overall risk is actually reduced with managed futures - Historical performance trends
- How futures are regulated – and why they aren’t forced over the same hurdles as hedge funds and other alternatives
- Segregated Accounts and transparency – It’s true! What you see really is what you get.
