FYI: Most retail portfolios have little exposure to managed futures today. Managed futures mutual funds and ETFs total approximately $.8 billion in assets—a paltry sum given the trillions of dollars invested in stocks and bonds. Investors might want to consider adding more exposure to managed futures. After a 10-plus year bull market in equities and with fixed income yields near historical lows, retail portfolios need strategies with proven diversification benefits, especially those that can deliver strong performance during a bear market. This article explains how asset allocators and advisors could better evaluate managed futures strategies, how to include managed futures in a traditional portfolio, and how best to manage client expectations to avoid selling at the wrong time.
