Managed future account
If an individual investor and you are planning to invest in futures you may want to consider a managed future account where you own the account but it is operated by a professional money manager. Rather than being part of a pool of people like a mutual fund, the managed fund is a personalized investment with a portfolio to meet your specific needs.These professional money managers allow you to take positions with profit potential such as using the global futures markets. While these accounts pertain primarily to individual investors, more recently, institutional investors such as pension funds, endowments, trusts and family offices have incorporated managed futures as part of a their portfolio. These investments have the potential to enhance your returns and lower the overall volatility as part a diversified investment portfolio.
