| The secret is out! Major
brokerage firms have failed to be as fair and open with their
"cherished" retail clients as they should. Major brokerages have
also, as a general policy, withheld from you the investment that
studies have repeatedly shown, can potentially increase performance
and reduce risk in an overall portfolio!

Ask yourself: Why have many of the
largest brokerage houses attempted to keep this investment under
wraps? Just as major brokerages avoided losing investment banking
business by issuing sell recommendations on companies from whom they
derive substantial revenues, so too, we believe, will they avoid
telling you about this established investment because they fear
losing business from you, their retail customer. Most major
brokerages stick to their bread-and-butter stocks and don't offer
this investment! Yet institutions and savvy investors have, for
quite some time, made a place for this investment in their
portfolios-to the tune of over $35 billion dollars!
The
investment we are referring to is professionally managed futures!
Surprised? Don't be. There is a big difference in the results
between amateurs and professionals trading futures. If an unskilled
person attempted to practice law or medicine, they'd probably
perform quite poorly, just like many non-professional, amateur
futures traders. So it comes as no surprise that in the highly
complex and challenging world of futures trading, the vast majority
of non-professional, amateur futures traders do lose. However,
experienced professional commodity trading advisors (CTAs), have
been shown to achieve consistent returns through prudent money
management. Bear in mind that the risk of loss exists no matter
who is managing your money, and that the potential exists in futures
trading to lose more than your initial investment.
Commodities Are The Place To
Be!
Commodity
indices have far outperformed stocks, bonds and real estate since
1998, where the Rogers International Commodity Index has risen over
100%. The Goldman Sachs Commodity Index (GSCI) returned 69% in the 5
year period ending September 2003, compared to 5% for the S&P 500.
Since 1970 the GSCI average annual return has outperformed the S&P.
Led by gold, copper, crude
oil, cattle, soybeans and other raw materials, leading commodity
indices are making new highs. Commodity markets also include trading
in the US Dollar, Swiss Franc, Japanese Yen, Euro Currency, stock
indices, US Treasury Bonds and Notes.
Many believe
we are at the beginning stages of a major new primary bull market in
commodities.....one that comes along only every 20 to 30 years! With
practically a zero correlation to stocks, and the ability to
capitalize on both rising and falling markets, commodities are an
excellent alternative investment to add profound diversification to
an overall portfolio!
What are 'CTAs' and How Can
They Help You?
Commodity Trading Advisors (CTAs) are
professional commodity traders licensed by the U.S. government and
its appropriate regulatory agencies. CTAs manage investors' assets
using futures market-related investments, similar to a stock fund
manager who invests his client's assets in a variety of stocks.
However, unlike many stock fund managers, CTAs can potentially
capitalize on rising, falling and lackluster markets. CTAs bring to
futures trading many of the same professional money management
benefits that equity managers bring to the management of stock and
bond funds.
Modern Portfolio Theory and its
Implication for You
Pension funds and sophisticated
investors have long relied on Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) in
attempting to obtain the highest returns with the lowest level of
risk. The premise underlying Modern Portfolio Theory tells us that
the risk of any investment can be reduced and performance increased
by holding a number of non-correlated investments in a variety of
differing asset classes. Non-correlated investments, by design, do
not move in lockstep with one another. The father of MPT, Dr. Harry
Markowitz, cautioned investors, "holding securities that tend to
move in concert with each other does not lower risk." Dr.
Markowitz concluded that a diversified portfolio comprised of
investments non-correlated with securities could provide the highest
returns with the least amount of risk.
Offering almost a zero correlation versus stocks, professionally
managed futures fit this description quite nicely.
Managed Futures and Portfolios: A
Provocative Statement
Managed futures have long been
employed in connection with diversifying institutional portfolios.
One such example is Harvard University. Jack Meyer, the chief
executive of that school's endowment fund regularly includes
commodity, and financial futures-related instruments in the
portfolio. In fact, this proponent of Modern Portfolio Theory has
placed himself on record by stating, "Holding commodities
offers protection against the ups and downs of stocks and bonds;
they're the most diversifying asset in the portfolio. The benefits
of diversification are indisputable; diversification rules. It's
powerful and our portfolio is a good deal less risky [with
commodities] than with only the S&P 500."
Isn't it both
wise and prudent to shift one's investment focus to the areas that
can potentially provide the greatest investment opportunities? Some
experts liken commodities to stocks and bonds in the early 1980s.
Both embarked on one of the great bull markets after a long period
of sluggishness. Think opportunity and think long term. Led by ever
increasing demand from China, and an unstable political situation in
the Middle East, many believe we're at the "sweet spot" of the
economic cycle for raw materials, representing a classic opportunity
for investors.
