As a whole, the Managed Futures sector did not perform well in January’s market environment, but that doesn’t mean there weren’t outliers. If we ignore risk metrics, RCM’s due diligence, and exclusively sort by returns only, these are the Top 10 programs in January.
(Disclaimer: past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Programs listed consist of those with at least a 3 year track record tracked by RCM Alternatives and do not represent all available programs in the managed futures universe. The Max DD represents the worst drawdown of all time for the listed programs).
