    Given the persisting global economic crisis, it's essential for individuals to focus on diversifying their income streams independent of governmental reliance. This involves exploring options such as stocks, gold, silver, and digital currencies. Despite the adversity in the economy, now is an opportune moment to contemplate these investment avenues.

      I do not disagree, there are strategies that could be put in place for solid gains regardless of economy or market condition, but such executions are usually carried out by investment experts or advisors I speak from experience.

      I've shuffled through investment coaches and yes, they can be positively impactful to an individual's portfolio, but do your due diligence to find a coach with grit, one that withstood the 08' crash. For me, Jane Nina Pickett turned out to be better and smarter than all the advisors I ever worked with till date, I’ve never met anyone with as much conviction.

      @@nastynate4481 the point of non-correlated investments is to have something in your portfolio that ziggs when everything else like the S&P zaggs. So conceptually if you add managed futures to your portfolio you should improve the risk adjusted returns over a full cycle. Most everything you own will correlate during a market crash, managed futures funds, if executed well will go up in that environment.

I know he is going on vacation but one thing he has always said that has helped me a lot as far as what to pay attention to as far as news and products is what are the people you are listening to trying to sell. What do they gain from what they are saying? Obviously Andrew as incentive to try to get people to invest into his ETF as he gets increased gains than. This does not mean that it is not a good investment or that he is not trying to help the little guy but it is important to understand this side of it as well.

    Managed futures are also known as trend following strategies. Simplify Asset Management have a EFT called CTA and their website have a good explainer video. Personally I like the idea of putting 5% into this sort of strategy and if stocks and bonds go down, you have something that might go up.

  • @hwshaeffer
    @hwshaeffer หลายเดือนก่อน

    Agree the interview with Andrew Beer left much to be desired! The problem is, you can't pin down "managed futures" as a substantive trade. All it really means is, "using futures to pursue opportunistic long/short positions in debt, equities, currencies and commodities". In other words, it can be used to pursue any number of potentially contradictory trades. So, the key word is "managed". You need to do your own research to get a sense of the investment philosophy of the particular managers and their acumen in reading trends and choosing trades and markets. Though self-directed investors can find this hard to accept, it is sometimes necessary to delegate discretion if you want to participate in markets that are hard to access. The good news is, with an ETF you're not locked in. It's easy to monitor performance. And you can get out in a hurry if you don't like what's happening!

    Hmm my layman's understanding of this investment class was biased towards a literal interpretation of the word "hedge", meaning allocation of multiple (potentially conflicting) positions to scatter risk, prevent asset concentration and generally pursue a blended but nimble strategy for generating returns, and the strategies could use non-mainstream tactics (shorting, derivatives) and shift around very rapidly to capitalize on fast-developing data trends. From your guests description, sounds like it was always more about the investment 'talent'/mind share than the strategies.

    He talks about how we are better off with smart people managing our money for us and collecting only 0.85% in fees, but if I look at the DBMF ticker it has greatly trailed the S&P 500.
    He is truthful when he said that he beat the S&P 500 in 2022, but that was after a very steep decline in the end of 2021. I am sticking with VOO with 0.03% in fees.

    I enjoyed it. Thanks Adam. I would never invest in a fund like this, but appreciate the opportunity to learn about new investment opportunities.
    On a side note, I am curious how volatile the stocks are that they are buying future options are. If it is truly based on a mathematic algorithm, it makes you wonder if they are simply buying calls and puts on meme stocks. Future options are all about risk/reward, and so maybe they are buying options on gold, but my hunch is they are much more riskier than they let on. However, it is impossible to know unless they disclose it…

    Looking at the returns, however, I was truly disappointed. If even I can do better than this expert, with very little experience with what I find to be a very conservative portfolio..
    If his etf would have had consistent single digit gains without big drawdowns, I would have said, cool thus guy has found something. however, the very correlated dips render a lot of his explanation difficult to believe.
    Nice to hear a alternative voice though!

  • @jarrettwhite5020
    @jarrettwhite5020 หลายเดือนก่อน

    You don’t hear a lot about managed futures because there isn’t much to say. They are systematic trend following funds. There is no story to tell. This is why you don’t see many managers get interviewed, they have nothing to say. They all have their secret sauce, but at the end of the day, if an asset class is trending up, they buy, if it is trending down they sell short. It really is that simple, but it is systematic, very little or no discretion. So they are boring interviews. Q: “Why did you buy gold?” A: “because it was going up”

    Hmmm... this appears to be the creation of a less mindless giant robot to exploit the inadequacies of the OG giant robot. If, as AB says, hedge funds invested in innovative ideas, then this iteration of a hedge fund is innovative in as much as it is meta-play on the settings of the OG giant robot BUT it still relies on someone, somewhere creating actual new value in which that OG giant robot mindlessly invests. Which is what the OG hedge funds did. They invested in actual new ideas.
    The next step then is for someone to start meta-meta hedgefund that anticipates AB's hedgefund and preemptivelu buys up what his hedgefund is about to buy and so on... the basic problem here is that wealth, real wealth, is a safer, healthier, more fulfilling life. This is why we invest in educating our children. AB's fund is, in the true sense of the word: derivative. It is not innovative beyond that derivative step. It will probably be wildly successful.

      @charlesbrown9213 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I agree the presenter should be more practiced in vocalizing/advocating for his product.
      Managed futures place bets on stocks, bonds, interest rates, currencies and commodities. They use the futures markets to make those bets. Their bets can be long or short any particular asset. So they may be making dozens of long or short bets on different markets at any time. As long and short positions are combine, their volatility tends to be tamped down somewhat. The expectation/hope is, that more of the bets they place go up, rather than down.
      Generally speaking, they tend to perform inversely to the S&P. AHLPX and PQTAX are 2 examples of OEFs in the space.
