Managed futures are diverse strategies that trade commodity futures contracts, forward contracts and options in global markets. The value of a contract is tied to an underlying commodity, such as agricultural products, metals, petroleum, currencies, market indices and financial instruments.

Objectives:

• Risk Reduction and Return Enhancement: These funds seek to generate positive returns that have low correlation with traditional assets regardless of market direction.

Key Features:

• Broad range of investment choices—indices, currencies, interest rates, commodities and options throughout the globe.
• Potential to enhance portfolio returns due to historically low-to-negative correlation with equity and fixed-income markets.
• The ability to profit from diverse investment environments because commodity trading advisors can purchase or sell short futures in anticipation of rising or falling markets.
