Managed Futures Accounts

An approach to fund management that uses positions in government securities, futures contracts, and options on futures contracts in a portfolio. Some managers specialize in physical commodity futures, but most managers find they must trade a variety of financial as well as nonfinancial contracts if they have very much money under management. Physical commodity markets alone will not accommodate a large fund.
