A great post from Rayna Lesser Hannaway, CFA who manages the small and mid companies strategy with our Partner Polen Capital. It certainly feels like deja vu for small and midcap managers these days yet, as she says, small caps outperformed for years after the tech bubble.

The chart below really demonstrates how different Managed Futures are, even within the hedge fund universe. Using PivotalPath data, the chart created by our Partner DBi shows the correlation of hedge fund strategies to US stocks (horizontal axis) and bonds (vertical axis). You can see that most hedge fund strategies are positively correlated to stocks but with less volatility. So many are clustered in the bottom left-hand corner. Managed Futures aren't however. Positioned in the top right corner, this shows they have less correlation to both stocks and bonds making them very attractive for investors seeking diversification. The chart is also scaled by current assets under management. So you can see that Equity Diversified hedge funds have attracted the most funds whereas Managed Futures, a relatively new option, is still small. Andrew Beer, co-founder of DBi expects this gap to narrow as more investors recognize the benefits of having exposure to an asset that goes against the tide whatever stocks and bonds are doing. #Alternatives #HedgeFunds #CTAs #managedfutures
