Managed Futures Today Magazine

Managed futures investors profited handsomely during the last decade as they saw their investments offset severe losses in the stock market. The bursting of the tech stock bubble in 2000-02 and the financial crisis of 2008 sent the S&P 500 down 46% and 52%, respectively. However, those were some of the best periods for managed futures, as the BTOP50 Index gained 39.5% during the tech stock decline and 17.25% during the 2008 market drop.
