A Commodity Trading Advisor (CTA) manages futures trading on behalf of others. At MF Global we clear over 10% of all CTA money invested internationally.

Why Managed Futures?
The performance of managed futures as a stand-alone investment has an enviable track record. In fact many investors use managed futures to diversify their portfolios because managed futures have low-correlation with traditional asset classes.

Many CTAs will manage investments starting from US$50,000. Accounts are managed individually according to the risk reward appetite of the investor.

Selecting a CTA
Institutional Advisory Services Group (IASG) maintains a database of some 2500 CTAs. They record performance, drawdowns, average recovery time, and standard deviation.

In fact IASG aims to match a client's risk reward profile with individual CTAs.

Futures, CFD, Margined Foreign Exchange trading and Spread Betting carries a high level of risk to your capital. A key risk of leveraged trading is that if a position moves against you, the customer, you can incur additional liabilities far in excess of your initial margin deposit. Only speculate with money you can afford to lose. Futures, CFD, Margined Foreign Exchange trading and Spread Betting may not be suitable for all customers, therefore ensure you fully understand the risks involved and seek independent financial advice if necessary.
