Commodity Trading Advisors

Managed futures are investments that allow investors to access the world's futures markets through professional money managers known as commodity trading advisors (CTAs). CTA’s are a type of professional trader. They are typically registered with the National Futures Association and give advice regarding the buying and selling of futures or options contracts. The manager makes all the decisions on the clients’ behalf through a revocable power of attorney. Alternative investments utilize a wide range of financial instruments and are flexible in their investment options. You can choose between managers who specialize in certain areas or managers who take advantage of a wide variety of opportunities.

We offer multiple choices for CTAs to trade their clients’ accounts. Our commission rates are among some of the lowest in the industry. CTA’s can take advantage of our low rates by grouping their clients and receiving a group discount on rates. The CTA may choose from a variety of trading platforms so it can maximize its trading needs.

We offer high end trade allocation systems that allocate your trades automatically with no extra cost involved to you or the customer. You can trade any number of accounts you choose and have all trades allocated to those accounts on a timely and efficient manner.

Our reporting systems are fantastic and easy for you and your clients. Each day and at the end of the month both you and the client will receive statements via email. We make sure all reporting is accurate in order to make your business easier.

Are you looking for a CTA to manage your money?

Managed futures programs are a great way to diversify your portfolio. The global futures markets can give you exposure to investments that otherwise would be unavailable.

Unlike the equity markets, where profits depend solely on price appreciation, opportunities in futures exist in both rising and falling markets. There also lies opportunity in flat or neutral markets.
