Institutional Investor's Guide to Managed Futures Programs

by Stephen M. Douglass

Encourages investors for tax-exempt pension plans, foundations, banks, brokerage firms, insurance companies and other institutions to get into a new investment category that is said to gain new exposures, increase returns, and reduce risk. Among the topics are the role of managed futures in the institutional portfolio and using them to reach global markets; the function of such participants as trading advisors and commodity pool operators; and the regulatory and tax aspects.
