Managed Futures

Alaron's managed futures services offers clients the ability to get involved with futures trading without having to rely in their own knowledge to make determinations on what is their best option. The industry of managed futures has emerged over the last 20 years as a growing way to invest, both for professional futures traders and their clients. In contrast to traditional commodity trading advice, where perhaps a commission is charged for each trade, managed futures is the process in which these professional investors invest on the behalf of their clients.

Why Choose Managed Futures?

The reason that the system of managed futures has been successful is that both parties are satisfied when a profit is made. Unlike the traditional system of futures investing, where commission is paid to the futures trader regardless of whether or not the investor makes money, managed futures are portfolios that are managed entirely by the futures trader. Managed futures offer both the client and the professional futures trader a mutual benefit when the correct investments are made.

In a continuing effort to offer our clients a documented road to sound investment management, we are proud to offer access to a wide array of CTAs (professional money managers). The most important element in a sound investment strategy is the selection of the appropriate manager (s) that will best fit your investment goals and risk tolerance.

Here are the benefits a managed futures program could provide:

1.) Reduced Portfolio Volatility Risk
2.) Potential for Enhanced Portfolio Returns
3.) Ability to Participate in Opportunities which may arise in any Economic Environment, Bull or Bear Market
4.) Ease of Global Diversification

We at Alaron will assist you with the question: Which CTA or which mix of CTAs should you use to best complement your financial portfolio. With our online CTA directory we can utilize the same research and technical expertise that many large institutional managers have used up until now. We use this software to research past performance, maximum drawdown, standard deviation as well as many other technical elements of an advisor's performance and history.
