Managed Futures Asset Allocation
When your hard-earned
dollars are on the line, investing and trading can
be a very nerve-racking endeavor.
Experienced traders know that the best way to

and lows of trading, is to follow a disciplined set
of trading rules. That’s why 1st Futures Broker /

sophisticated computer programs are critical in tying together, in

Today, a variety of academic evidence demonstrates the
potential benefit of using managed futures to create a better balance for a
stock and bond portfolio.As an asset class, commodities
offer strong opportunities to fine-tune a
portfolio’s risk and return characteristics.
Although any investment involves risk, common sense
suggests that qualified investors should consider
including the Commodity Asset Class as a reasonable
portion of a well-balanced portfolio.
Why invest in commodities? Two of the most
compelling reasons to add commodities to a
traditional portfolio are their ability to provide
both diversification and low correlation (low
volatility). Diversification and low correlation are
fundamental principles of Modern Portfolio Theory,
which won Markowitz the Noble Peace Prize in
Economics.Because commodities
have historically low correlations to financial
assets such as stocks and bonds, adding commodities
actually reduces the risk (volatility) in your
portfolio – and can also significantly improve
portfolio performance.
Here are what a few Industry Leaders have to say about
using commodities to better balance your trading portfolio.
“By allocating only 10% of a securities portfolio
to commodities, investors can vastly improve their
performance.” – Study by Goldman Sachs, covering a
25 year period
“In addition to impressive historical returns,
commodities provide positive returns when they
were needed most.” Strategic Asset Allocation and
Commodities, Ibbotson & Associates, 2006
“Combined portfolios of stocks (or stocks and
bonds), after including judicious investments in
managed [commodity] futures accounts, show
substantially less risk at every possible level of
expected return than portfolios of stocks (or
stocks and bonds) alone” – The Potential Role of
Managed Commodity Financial Futures Accounts, a
landmark study by Dr John Lintner, Harvard
University
“Portfolios with as much as 20% of assets in
managed futures yield up to 50% more than a
portfolio of stocks and bonds.” – Study conducted
by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange
