Dear Investor and Advisor,
Our objective is to provide you with:
ACCESS: Leading Alternative Managers at Low Minimums.
PEACE OF MIND: Enhanced Liquidity, Intraday Transparency,
Third Party Valuations.
EASY ONLINE: Allocations, Distributions, & Tracking.
Toward this end we target investments funds backed by formidable due
diligence and exhaustive background checks, real time monitoring, and best
custodial and administrative practices.
In particular we target alternative managed futures
and alternative equity based funds and platforms which provide:
Access:
•
•
To investable liquid, managers a low minimums that would otherwise require direct investments as of much as 1m to 20+m and that represent a significant percentage of the industry’s assets.
To managed investments non-correlated to traditional equity investments.
Mitigation of Fraud:
•
•
•
•
No trader has access to client investment funds.
Traders are monitored on a 24-hour basis.
Estimated valuations are provided on a continuous basis throughout the day
and official Net Asset Values are provided by a third party.
Every manager’s background is investigated and periodically reviewed by experts.
High Liquidity:
•
Monthly and many cases twice-monthly subscriptions and redemptions.
I
n addition we offer an ancillary fund, Hedge Gateway, that facilitates even greater diversification with
less money. Be on the alert for a new monthly Fund Profile & Recovery Report.
In the pages to follow we review, “Why Managed Futures” and “Why an Alternative Investment Platform”.
It reviews the merits and selection criteria for this non-correlated asset class.
Yours for successful investing,
Gary Spitz
Why Managed Futures?
Why Managed Futures
•
Non-Correlation: Managed Futures has fulfilled a key objective of Modern Portfolio Theory: It is a proven, efficient Non Correlated Asset Class which, when added to a traditional portfolio has been shown to improve diversification, return, and
volatility characteristics.
•
Performance: Managed Futures outperformed traditional portfolios over the last 20 years and during every major down (and crisis) market. •
Liquidity: Avoids the illiquidity of many hedge fund strategies and policies.
•
Regulation: Regulated (unlike Hedge Funds) by CFTC and the NFA.
Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Futures trading involves risk
of loss and is not suitable for everyone.
30 Year Comparison
Managed Futures Outperformed Stocks by at least 178%
Consider an initial investment of $10,000 invested in 1980. If placed in a US stock fund
mirroring the S&P 500, the investment would have been worth approximately $288,000 as
of early 2008. The same amount allocated to a basket of international equities reflecting the
Morgan Stanley Capital International Index of world stock would have grown to $120,000.
But the same investment in managed futures, based on the Center for International
Securities and Derivatives Markets weighting, would now be worth more than $513,000.
There are multiple year periods when managed futures were down to flat (1988-1990,
2000-2001, 2004-2006). In 1994-2001 stocks advanced significantly faster than managed
futures. During these periods a stock investor would have fared better than one invested
wholly is managed futures. The programs selected by individual investors could have resulted
in a loss over the same time period. Investment in futures and/or options involves substantial
risk.
Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Futures trading involves
risk of loss and is not suitable for everyone. Indices of managed futures products are not
indicative of the performance of any individual account.
23 Year Record of Managed Futures VS. Traditional Portfolio
During Stock Market Declines
Opportunity to Profit in a Variety of Economic Environments.
Managed futures lack of long term correlation to other asset classes is well accepted. History
shows us that managed futures are historically a better place to be during bear markets.
