In our meeting we tried to define Managed Futures and distinguish them from other (hedge fund) strategies, compared systematic to discretionary approaches, looked at performances and the relation of a funds size to its performance. We talked about coding, the “black box” (mis-) conception, the role of technology, CTA investor skill and needs, how different investor groups approach Managed Futures and other topics.

The format chosen to compose the summary of the meeting intends to let the reader participate as close as possible and “listen in” to the discussion among industry professionals in their own words. Enjoy getting some “Nordic Insights” to Managed Futures. The paper is available for download free of charge following this link:
