Managed Futures by itself can be a high risk/high return investment (actually when compared to stock portfolios, its no riskier), but when added to your overall liquid portfolio, it can actually reduce the entire risk of your portfolio dramatically. We highly recommend you read, the article below for a quick education on managed futures assets; what they are and how they can help you.
Managed Futures have proven to be a great investment ( especially creating your own "fund" and diversifying with many CTA's ), but choosing the right managers and CTA's can be the most daunting part of the process, and requires a great deal of due diligence and review.
Disclaimer Not all investors are suitable for commodity trading in futures and options, even if managed by at CTA. In some cases, managed commodity accounts are subject to substantial charges for management and advisory fees. It may be necessary for those accounts that are subject to these charges to make substantial trading profits to avoid depletion or exhaustion of their assets. The disclosure document contains a complete description of the principal risk factors and each fee to be charged to your account by the Commodity Trading Advisor (CTA). Please read through all the risks involved, all applicable fees charged as well as the performance record reading thoroughly the Disclosure Documents of each Commodity Trading Advisor you are interested in investing with.
