A managed futures account allows an investor to take advantage of the futures and options markets by employing Investment Managers and Commodity Trading Advisors (CTAs). These professional commodity trading advisors make all trading decisions on your behalf, as is the case with stock fund managers.

 
Our service also includes managed futures accounts as a means to diversify your portfolio from today's volatile stock market.  Independent studies point out, a stock and bond portfolio diversified with only 20% in Managed Futures could increase overall performance as much as 50% with comparable risk.

In a continuing effort to offer our clients a documented road to sound investment management, CFT maintains a database of CTAs, and recommends only those who meet strict selection criteria. Our qualitative and quantitative analysis includes close examination of each advisor's experience, integrity, research methodologies, risk management, and long-term performance history.

If you are the type of trader/investor that does not have the time to track commodities but you would like to take advantage of the opportunities commodities have to offer, then you may want to consider a Managed Futures account. The dollar amount invested in the managed futures industry has increased from approximately 20 billion dollars to approximately 30 billion dollars in one year.

A Managed Futures account can offer diversification from traditional asset classes such as stocks and bonds. Managed Futures offer investors not only an alternative investment approach to traditional security-based portfolios, but also a high leverage, and ability to profit from both up and down sides of the market.
