The common view in these troubled financial times is that investors need to take a second look at the true meaning of portfolio diversification.
Diversification no longer means adding a variety of stocks to a portfolio, but is attained by combining non-correlated assets that do not all move in the same direction, or that are not dependent on the stock market. One of these non-correlated assets is managed futures, which have been used by investment management professionals for more than 30 years.
As indicated by the name, managed futures accounts trade futures contracts which are regulated by the U.S, Commodity Futures Trading Commission. In a managed futures account, the account owner grants trading authority to registered Commodity Trading Advisors (CTAs). Futures are different from stocks in that both long and short trading is permitted. One of the benefits of managed futures is that there is the potential to profit in both bull and bear markets. Other potential benefits of managed futures are noted on our website at http://www.brewerfuturesgroup.com/Managedproducts/Managedproducts.htm. Remember, however, that futures trading carries a substantial risk of loss, is not suitable for every investor, and that past performance is not indicative of future results.
Managed futures may be traded through registered pools or as individually managed accounts. Brewer’s primary focus is on individually managed accounts. Brewer maintains a database of many advisors whose trading programs and strategies operate in various market sectors, for instance, treasury products, stock indices, agricultural commodities, precious metals, and energies. Our goal is to assist the client in reviewing programs and finding those that will meet the clients’ unique diversification requirements. To accomplish this goal, Brewer has tools that can be used to compare and contrast individual CTAs.
