What are Managed Futures?

In today's volatile and increasingly challenging investment markets, investors have sought to more effectively manage overall portfolio risk through diversification. One way to potentially diversify your portfolio is to incorporate Hedge Funds and Managed Futures into the traditional portfolio. These investment vehicles are increasingly being recognized as important investment alternatives that can potentially enhance the diversified portfolio.

The term Managed Futures describes an industry made up of professional money managers known as Commodity Trading Advisors (CTAs). These trading advisors manage client assets on a discretionary basis using global futures markets as an investment medium.

Managed Futures provides direct exposure to international financial asset sectors while offering a means to gain exposure to risk and return patterns not easily accessible with investment in traditional stock and bond portfolios.

At Brewer Financial Services, we endeavor to develop long-term relationships with skilled advisors based on our evaluation and due diligence guidelines. In addition, we attempt to identify and monitor new emerging advisors we believe have the potential to reach successful benchmarks. The review process includes examining a CTA's character, integrity and the breadth of the trading program. It also looks at the long-term business plan and capitalization of the company. Our experienced professionals will assist you in finding a managed program that suits your financial objectives and risk parameters.
