The Biggest Investment Secrets Major Brokerage Firms Don't Want You To Know!

The secret is out! Major brokerage firms have failed to be as fair and open with their "cherished" retail clients as they should. Major brokerages have also, as a general policy, withheld from you the investment that studies have repeatedly shown, can potentially increase performance and reduce risk in an overall portfolio!

Ask yourself: Why have many of the largest brokerage houses attempted to keep this investment under wraps? Just as major brokerages avoided losing investment banking business by issuing sell recommendations on companies from whom they derive substantial revenues, so too, we believe, will they avoid telling you about this established investment because they fear losing business from you, their retail customer. Most major brokerages stick to their bread-and-butter stocks and don't offer this investment! Yet institutions and savvy investors have, for quite some time, made a place for this investment in their portfolios to the tune of over $234 billion dollars!

The investment we are referring to is professionally Managed Futures!

Surprised? Don't be. There is a big difference in the results between amateurs and professionals trading futures. If an unskilled person attempted to practice law or medicine, they'd probably perform quite poorly, just like many non-professional, amateur futures traders. So it comes as no surprise that in the highly complex and challenging world of futures trading, the vast majority of non-professional, amateur futures traders do lose. However, experienced professional commodity trading advisors (CTAs), have been shown to achieve consistent returns through prudent money management. Bear in mind that the risk of loss exists no matter who is managing your money, and that the potential exists in futures trading to lose more than your initial investment.

Commodities Are The Place To Be!

Commodity indices have far outperformed stocks, bonds and real estate since 1998, where the Rogers International Commodity Index has risen over 100%. The Goldman Sachs Commodity Index (GSCI) returned 491% in the 10- year period ending May 2008, compared to 13% for the S&P 500. Since 1970 the GSCI average annual return has outperformed the S&P.

Led by gold, copper, crude oil, cattle, soybeans and other raw materials, leading commodity indices are making new highs. Commodity markets also include trading in the US Dollar, Swiss Franc, Japanese Yen, Euro Currency, Stock Indices, US Treasury Bonds and Notes.

Many believe we are at the beginning stages of a major new primary bull market in commodities.....one that comes along only every 20 to 30 years! With practically a zero correlation to stocks, and the ability to capitalize on both rising and falling markets, commodities are an excellent alternative investment to add profound diversification to an overall portfolio!

What are 'CTAs' and How Can They Help You?

Commodity Trading Advisors (CTAs) are professional commodity traders licensed by the U.S. government and its appropriate regulatory agencies. CTAs manage investor's assets using futures market-related investments, similar to a stock fund manager who invests his client's assets in a variety of stocks. However, unlike many stock fund managers, CTAs can potentially capitalize on rising, falling and lackluster markets. CTAs bring to futures trading many of the same professional money management benefits that equity managers bring to the management of stock and bond funds.

Modern Portfolio Theory and its Implication for You

Pension funds and sophisticated investors have long relied on Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) in attempting to obtain the highest returns with the lowest level of risk. The premise underlying Modern Portfolio Theory tells us that the risk of any investment can be reduced and performance increased by holding a number of non-correlated investments in a variety of differing asset classes. Non-correlated investments, by design, do not move in lockstep with one another. The father of MPT, Dr. Harry Markowitz, cautioned investors, "holding securities that tend to move in concert with each other does not lower risk." Dr. Markowitz concluded that a diversified portfolio comprised of investments not correlated with securities could provide the highest returns with the least amount of risk.

Offering almost a zero correlation versus stocks, professionally Managed Futures fit this description quite nicely.

Managed Futures and Portfolios: A Provocative Statement

Managed Futures have long been employed in connection with diversifying institutional portfolios. One such example is prestigious Harvard University! Jack Meyer, the chief executive of that school's endowment fund, regularly includes commodity and financial futures-related instruments in the portfolio. In fact, this proponent of Modern Portfolio Theory has placed himself on record by stating, "Holding commodities offers protection against the ups and downs of stocks and bonds; they're the most diversifying asset in the portfolio. The benefits of diversification are indisputable; diversification rules. It's powerful and our portfolio is a good deal less risky [with commodities] than with only the S&P 500!"

Isn't it both wise and prudent to shift one's investment focus to the areas that can potentially provide the greatest investment opportunities? Some experts liken commodities to stocks and bonds in the early 1980s. Both embarked on one of the great bull markets after a long period of sluggishness. Think opportunity and think long term. Led by ever increasing demand from China, and an unstable political situation in the Middle East, many believe we're at the "sweet spot" of the economic cycle for raw materials, representing a classic opportunity for investors.
