DAILYALTS: The Best And Worst of January: Managed Futures
FYI: Managed futures mutual funds and ETFs bounced back in January, after having a tough month in December. In the first month of 2016, managed futures funds, including “CTAs” (commodity trading advisors), averaged gains of 2.05%. This, in a month when U.S. stocks, commodities and high-yield bonds all saw large drawdowns. Managed futures strategies have often been referred to as “crisis alpha” and January’s performance shows why they have been labeled as such.
