Mutual Fund Performance: July 2022

August 12, 2022 rcm-alternatives 0 comment Like

Chart of the Week, Managed Futures

July provided a relief rally for the still-correlated stocks and bonds much to the chagrin of doomsday prophets. Volatility fell most every day of the month providing a good test for long volatility strategies. Commodity markets were mixed in performance and choppy, lacking a coherent theme (Natural Gas the notable exception). This proves difficult for strategies that need a trend or momentum. The best-performing mutual funds below had some long exposure to stocks/bonds or were able to catch a technical move in commodities. Even the losers this month were mild and all of them are still positive YTD.
