MFA Update: Meetings with Campbell & Company and EMC
We were pleased to wrap up the MFA conference with two meetings with some great CTAs. Last night, Jeff Eizenberg had the chance to sit down with Andy Schneider (VP Institutional Marketing) and Jon Caplis (Research Manager) from Campbell & Company. With close to 150 employees, $3 billion in assets under management, and a research […]
MFA Update: Meeting with Michael Clarke of Clarke Capital
The oft referenced Clarke Capital stopped by the Attain office to meet with one of our clients, and we were thrilled to catch up with Michael Clarke. He spoke candidly about the Worldwide program, going into detail about the various markets and models traded. The way he explains it is that it is based on […]
MFA Update: Meeting with 2100 Xenon
Had a chance to catch up with Jeff Eizenberg after he took a client to visit 2100 Xenon’s Chicago office. They’ve got a great space set-up on West Erie, and the program’s set-up is pretty impressive as well. Jay Feuerstein heads up the program, and as of this year, has been trading 31 years. They’ve […]
MFA Update: Meeting with Welton Investment Corporation
Jeff Malec and John Cummings met with Managing Director of Business Development Bob Robinson and Senior Managing Director of Portfolio and Trading Operations Brent Hankins, CAIA, of Welton Investment Corporation. Welton has long been one of our favorite CTAs, and we republished one of their research pieces a while back in our newsletter after it […]
MFA Update: Meeting with Sol Waksman of BarclayHedge
Interesting meeting with Sol Waksman of BarclayHedge this morning. We recently defended Waksman after he was baselessly attacked in a CBS article, and it was nice to have a chance to talk about the incident. With a career as long and rich as Waksman’s, it’s understandable why he doesn’t feel the need to defend himself […]
Disclaimers
Managed futures, commodity trading, forex trading, and other alternative investments are complex and carry a risk of substantial losses. As such, they are not suitable for all investors. You should not rely on any of the information as a substitute for the exercise of your own skill and judgment in making such a decision on the appropriateness of such investments.
The entries on this blog are intended to further subscribers understanding, education, and – at times – enjoyment of the world of alternative investments. Unless distinctly noted otherwise, the data and graphs included herein are intended to be mere examples and exhibits of the topic discussed, are for educational and illustrative purposes only, and do not represent trading in actual accounts. Opinions expressed are that of the author.
The mention of specific asset class performance (i.e. +3.2%, -4.6%) is based on the noted source index (i.e. Newedge CTA Index, S&P 500 Index, etc.), and investors should take care to understand that any index performance is for the constituents of that index only, and does not represent the entire universe of possible investments within that asset class. And further, that there can be limitations and biases to indices such as survivorship, self reporting, and instant history.
The performance data for various Commodity Trading Advisor (“CTA”) and Commodity Pools are compiled from various sources, including Barclay Hedge, RCM’s own estimates of performance based on account managed by advisors on its books, and reports directly from the advisors. These performance figures should not be relied on independent of the individual advisor’s disclosure document, which has important information regarding the method of calculation used, whether or not the performance includes proprietary results, and other important footnotes on the advisor’s track record.
The mention of general asset class performance (i.e. managed futures did well, stocks were down, bonds were up) is based on RCM’s direct experience in those asset classes, estimates of performance of dozens of CTAs followed by RCM, and averaging of various indices designed to track said asset classes.
The mention of market based performance (i.e. Corn was up 5% today) reflects all available information as of the time and date of the publication.
The owner of this blog, RCM Alternatives, may receive various forms of compensation from certain investment managers highlighted and/or mentioned within the blog, including but not limited to retaining: a portion of trade commissions, a portion of the fees charged to investors by the investment managers, a portion of the fees for operating a fund for the investment managers via affiliate Attain Portfolio Advisors, or via direct payment for marketing services.
Managed Futures Disclaimer:
Past Performance is Not Necessarily Indicative of Future Results. The regulations of the CFTC require that prospective clients of a managed futures program (CTA) receive a disclosure document when they are solicited to enter into an agreement whereby the CTA will direct or guide the client’s commodity interest trading and that certain risk factors be highlighted. The disclosure document contains a complete description of the principal risk factors and each fee to be charged to your account by the CTA.
