FYI: It was just over a year ago when Bloomberg reporter David Evans wrote How Investors Lose 89 Percent of Gains from Futures Funds, an article that essentially painted the entire managed futures industry as a big con game. What a difference a year makes. At that time, many were questioning the viability of managed futures funds as they had struggled to generate meaningful returns following their strong performance in 2008. Advocates of managed futures noted that with a globally coordinated central bank intervention in the capital markets, it was difficult to find divergent markets that would yield a meaningful return.
