Description
Summary:Managed futures has been described as "mutual fund"-like programs investing around the world in commodities--oil, gold, corn, or wheat--and financial futures--interest rates, foreign currency, or stock indexes. Investments can even take place in pollution and weather futures. The asset class has no geographic or time-based investment limitation, and, unlike stock mutual funds, strategies can be long, short, or market-neutral. And, unlike hedge funds, managed futures can be transparent, liquid, and tighly regulated--investor protections that should be used as a national template. --
What your financial adviser doesn't know--or isn't telling you--can hurt your portfolio. With government debt at an all-time high and the U.S. dollar's dominant status in question, there's never been a better time to seek a sophisticated modern portfolio that has the potential to profit in both bull and bear markets. Managed futures can do that. High-Performance Managed Futures shows you how. --Book Jacket.
