Now Could Be The Time For Managed Futures Funds

FYI: (Click On Article Title At Top Of Google Search)
Commodity trading advisors offer investors a chance to diversify their portfolios to include currencies, metals, grains, and interest-rate swaps—in addition to stock and bond indexes—that they can’t access in a plain-vanilla mutual fund. Their funds generally pay close attention to price trends in many markets to determine which futures instruments to trade and when to trade them. Because their long-term performance isn’t closely linked to stock or bond returns, these funds—known as managed futures funds, or sometimes just CTAs—may be a good hedge to a traditional portfolio.
