Managed Futures

I received an article regarding managed futures from Albourne Village named "Decoding the Myths of Managed Futures".  In several hedge fund indexes, managed futures are listed as a strategy.  Within the CAIA program, they are a separate category.  The report talks about its recent growth and elaborates on some controversies:

  • Opaqueness regarding their "black box" trading strategy
  • Non-correlation to equity returns
  • Investing in non-commodity instruments
  • Volatility
  • Homogeneity of funds
