Differences Between Managed Futures and Other Alternative Investments
All Alternative Investments, other than Managed Futures, whether they are Hedge Funds, Funds of Funds, Private Equity, Venture Capital Funds, Oil and Gas LP’s, are generally not transparent, not liquid, and not regulated..
Managed Futures accounts are highly transparent. Investors can receive trade information daily, and, in many cases, can track accounts online on an intraday basis.
Managed Futures accounts are also highly liquid. In most cases, accounts can be liquidated with very short notice to the manager. This compares favorably with the typical lock-up of all other alternative investment vehicles, which vary from quarterly redemptions to annual, and sometimes even longer. Contact one of our alternative investment advisors for detailed information about redemptions.
Furthermore, Managed Futures accounts are highly regulated by the National Futures Association and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the Federal regulatory agency for the futures industry. This compares to virtually no regulation for most other Alternative Investments.
