Managed futures, much like the anticipation of summer following spring, offer a strategic pathway to financial growth and reward. This investment approach involves professional management of futures contracts, allowing investors to potentially capitalize on market trends and volatility. As spring’s blossoms herald the abundant days of summer, managed futures aim to transform strategic insights into substantial returns. Embracing this method means trusting in expert foresight and diligent planning to navigate the financial markets, much like a seasoned gardener preparing for a bountiful summer harvest. This month in the Comhla Connection we dig down into the who's who and what's what of the Managed Futures world.

Our Numbers
The Average Annual Return of the Renaissance Fund (before fees)
Jim Simons, a mathematician who founded the most successful quantitative hedge fund of all time, passed away at 86 years old, on Friday in New York City, his foundation announced on its website.
Pioneering mathematical models and algorithms to make investment decisions, Simons left behind a track record at Renaissance Technologies that rivaled that of legends such as Warren Buffett and George Soros. His flagship Medallion Fund enjoyed annual returns of 66% between 1988 to 2018, according to Gregory Zuckerman's book "The Man Who Solved the Market."
Billion Dollars in the Managed Futures Market
The growth of money flowing into managed futures over the past several decades has been truly spectacular. Managed futures had less than $10 million in Assets Under Management (AUM) in 1980. In 2023 however, AUM reached $357 billion.
Trading futures involves significant risk of loss and is not suitable for everyone. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
The risk of loss associated with trading commodity futures contracts (commodities and futures) is substantial. Therefore, you need to carefully consider whether trading in the commodity futures markets is appropriate for you in light of your personal circumstances, risk tolerance, and overall financial situation. Trading in the futures markets is highly leveraged and brings with it large potential risks even though it can bring you potential rewards. You need to fully understand the risks associated with this type of trading and derivative product and you need to ensure you ask questions about these risks. Once a decision has been made to invest after you have asked all your questions and have full knowledge of all the risks, you need to be willing and able to accept the risks in order to invest in the futures or commodities markets. If you lose your entire investment and are asked to put up more money to cover debits in your account and this will impact your personal life in financial terms, you should not be trading with money you cannot afford to lose. This communication is not solicitation or an offer to buy or sell commodity, futures or any other financial interests. You may be told that putting orders in with certain risk measures such as stop-loss or stop-limits orders will protect you. Please note that the use of any stop-loss or stop-limit orders may not limit your losses and you could lose more than your intended amount of money at risk. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to any discussed here. Past Performance of any trading or methodology is not necessarily indicative of future results. Any and all systems, forecasts, methodologies, products, options, materials, services or other communications are for informational, illustrative and educational purposes only and are not to be construed as specific advisory recommendations. We are not responsible for any trades that you may take or any losses that you may incur. Any trades that you may take are taken at your own risk. Like any investment, you should consult your broker or financial adviser before deciding to invest and when placing any trades.
