Managed futures trading accounts may be appropriate for any portfolio containing stocks, bonds, cash and real estate. Managed futures trading accounts are non-correlated to traditional investments and this non-correlation allows for true diversification.
Managed futures as an alternative investment asset class have shown healthy performance numbers in bull and bear markets because it helps diversify an investment portfolio. This increased performance has been attributed to the fact that managed futures accounts show a low or even negative correlation to traditional investments such as stocks, bonds and real estate. Diversification is considered by most investment professionals as a crucial component to any investment portfolio.

Unlike stocks, bonds and real estate, managed futures trading accounts have shown the ability to produce returns in any type of economic environment whether it is deflationary or inflationary. Managed accounts can also generate investment returns in recessions and times of prosperity.

Usually, as one asset class goes up another asset class goes down. Managed futures accounts typically invest over a wide spectrum of asset classes. When used in combination with traditional asset classes, managed futures may reduce risk and at the same time potentially increase investment returns.
