Institutional Investors, including public and corporate pension plans, endowments, and foundations, are rapidly increasing the portion of their assets allocated to commodity investments. The case for commodities is based largely on their historical tendency to offer returns that exhibit a low correlation with those of stock and bond market indices. Although commodities may be volatile, their low correlation with traditional investments can result in a significant diversification benefit.  Investments in managed futures may improve the reward-to-risk ratio for investment portfolios, as the low correlation between commodity futures and equity and fixed -income investments reduces portfolio volatility.  Over long periods of time, investments in commodity futures have a risk–return profile similar to that of stocks, which means that there can be substantial gains or losses in any given month or year.  Commodity futures have a positive correlation with inflation, which can be attractive for pension plans that are required to pay inflation-adjusted benefits to their beneficiaries.  ITS will create a custom portfolio to try to meet all your fund's requirements.   Let ITS show you how managed futures can fit into your portfolio.
