Trading in Foreign Exchange

Trading in Foreign Exchange is the smarter alternative to achieving higher absolute returns on your hard earned capital.

The smarter alternative to boost your investment portfolio’s performance:

• With foreign exchange trading you have a diversified investment portfolio with an acceptable level of risk
• Allocate some risk capital to be invested in Managed FOREX accounts. Research indicates that active trading of   FOREX in a portfolio reduces the overall porfolio volatility risk whilst enhancing portfolio returns. Real diversification should include some asset classes with low correlation to each other 
• Bank of International Settlements Triennial Survey: The average daily turnover in April 2010 in global activity on the foreign exchange markets was 4.0 trillion dollars (USD)  
• The unique benefits of trading in foreign exchange with a FOREX account are derived from the risk and reward opportunities that these accounts may offer in addition to other traditional assets such as mutual funds, bonds, equities, money market funds and real estate
• Along with high net worth individuals, a growing number of corporate and institutional investors have been allocating part of their portfolios to FOREX trading. 
• FOREX is the Ultimate Trading Market and offers unmatched profit opportunities. It surpasses the volatility and leverage of futures and commodities markets with more liquidity and without several of its drawbacks (limit ups or downs, contract rollovers, market maker manipulations)
• One major advantage of the FOREX is the tendency of currencies to establish long trends allowing for high reward/low risk strategies

Why Managed Futures

A Managed OTC Foreign Exchange account falls within the category of "Managed Futures". The Managed Futures industry is comprised of professional money managers known as Commodity Trading Advisors (CTAs), and/or Commodity Pool Operators (CPOs) that manage client assets utilizing a variety of investment theories.  Managed Futures are often viewed as an "Alternative Investment" or one of a number of trading/investment strategies listed under the heading of "Hedge Funds."

Some Managed Futures accounts invest primarily based on market technical characteristics; some invest based on fundamental analyses of underlying assets and global economic events.  The industry has seen tremendous growth in recent years as investors recognize the potential for Managed Futures to diversify traditional portfolios containing stocks and bonds.  This diversification results from Managed Futures historical lack of correlation to global equity and fixed income markets.  In other words, Managed Futures performance tends to be independent of, and unrelated to, factors that influence stock and bond performance.  For further information on the characteristics of Managed Futures Accounts, please click on the links below or view our Investment Strategies:
