Strategy & Benefits
Strategy Description
- A 40 Act, non K-1 generating approach to commodity investing
- Exposure to 12 commodities that can individually be long or flat (if a short signal is triggered the position is moved to cash)
- The ability to make position changes intra-month based on trends
- Month-end review where the position size of each component is modified if volatility exceeds certain predetermined risk levels
- A “smart” contract roll approach designed to select cost effective futures contracts to roll into upon expiration of current contract.
Most traditional commodity funds can only benefit if commodity prices rise. However, these long-only commodity strategies have shown to be inconsistent over time because:
- Commodity returns are typically cyclical and sporadic
- Individual commodity sub-sectors tend to perform dissimilarly in different market environments
- Significant draw-downs can be damaging to the long-term performance of a portfolio
Within the inherently volatile commodity markets, a long/flat approach is potentially more adaptive to whip-sawing market conditions.
