The Worldwide program currently trades 29 domestic & international commodity interests, 12 of which are either long or short interest rate contracts reflecting interest rates in the US, EMU, the UK and Australia. Also followed are several U.S. and Non-U.S. currencies, grains, softs, meats, metals and fuels. The number of models used in this program is currently 9. The time-frame focus is a blend of intermediate and long-term. Notional funding available.

Managed Futures are typically for high networth investors. The popularity of Managed accounts have grown at an amazing rate over the last several years due in part to the liquidity, transparency, and their ability to compliment and enhance existing portfolios. Managed Futures accounts are traded by liscenced CTA'S or Commodity Trading Advisors. Typically CTA's are looking to return LONG-TERM steady growth for their clients. There are endless types of strategies and markets that can be traded, many that are non-correlated to the equity markets. For example, a CTA could trade everything form Grains, to Financials, to Metals, to Energies and more.  For More information on Managed Futures feel free to contact me.
