Managed Funds
"Portfolios...including judicious investments...in leveraged managed
futures accounts show substantially less risk at every
possible level of expected return than portfolios of stock (or stocks
and bonds) alone."
Dr. John Litner
Harvard University
The only guarantee in markets is they will fluctuate, sometimes severely.
Investment prudence dictates that diversification across
non-correlated asset classes has the potential to manage
financial portfolio risks better. The principal of diversifying
risk is done by businesses worldwide everyday whether they
achieve this by having a highly diversified client base or a
company which produces a wide variety of products from pianos to
motorcycles for example. By using Managed Futures the principal
of diversifying risk can be applied to financial portfolios and
obtain the benefits described above in Dr. Litner's above quote.
Whether you are located in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana or Illinois
of the Eastern Corn Belt of the Midwestern United States or
around the world the alternative of Managed Futures can provide
your portfolio the diversification you need to "weather" the
volatility of present and future economic financial storms.

Advisors) can be used to diversify risk across a broad
spectrum of financial assets some of which are:
Individual accounts
