Alaron can show you how to combine the very best investment talent and returns in a highly personalized portfolio. Consistent double digit past returns- using the very same investment approaches often adopted by pension funds, hedge funds and institutions and successfully profiled in recent studies from Harvard University, Yale and Stanford.Balancing Portfolio Performance. An investment in managed futures is, in our opinion, the best path to highly lucrative global market opportunities- one of the fastest growing alternative investment strategies*. Alaron works everyday with Commodity Trading Advisors like FCI, Dighton and Rosetta Capital who have demonstrated the capability to generate double-digit past annual returns using state-of-the-art systematic and discretionary models & approaches. Accessing Global Markets - Skilled Managers. Experienced and specialized Commodity Trading Advisors (CTAs) working on your behalf to give you global exposure and diversification across a wide range of markets through Managed Futures- and because investment positions are disclosed on a daily basis, you get the highest possible transparency, flexibility, and convenience plus the protection of a segregated account. Growing Acceptance. *Illustrating the growing acceptance of managed futures, the total assets invested in managed futures over the past 22 years, from 1980 to 2003 grew to 57.4 billion. By the end of 2006, the total assets invested in managed futures grew to $170 billion according to leading industry sources. A three fold increase in just three years.Why Now? Managed Futures offers potential protection in periods when the stock markets are not performing well. Studies have shown Commodity Trading Advisors (CTAs) often perform well during times of instability and uncertainty. Now is such a time and the very best trading advisors have the experience, skill, and discipline to calibrate investment risk within suitable tolerances designed especially for you-a true hedge for traditional portfolios.Why Us? We believe no intelligent investor should have to risk their financial future on a portfolio that depends on stock investments that are largely correlated with one another. That's why we assess the performance characteristics of each and every recommended trading advisor including risk/ reward ratios, portfolio composition, trading strategy, relative volatility, correlations, drawdowns, and return distributions. Backed by the knowledge, experience, and resources of Chicago's leading futures firm, we have the knowhow and the solutions to help you achieve your financial goals within your tolerance for riskThe Alaron Difference? Consistent, risk-adjusted performance inspires us and our clients- not the relative "buy & hold" returns of a "muddle through economy" which can frustrate investor expectations for many months to come. Place the management of your investments in the hands of professionals. Even sophisticated investors are hard pressed to manage their own assets in today's complex market environment. Let Alaron find the very best talent, build and monitor the activity of performance-driven managers on your behalf.What We Do. In the past, investments in stocks and bonds was enough. But today's financial world is more complex. Investors often require more sophisticated investment approaches and active asset management. We have a disciplined four-step client engagement process- with a special focus on risk capital alternatives. We work together first by getting to know your objectives and then develop, implement, and monitor a composite portfolio of Managed Futures tailored to your specific needs.How We Do It. A proprietary framework is used to develop our recommendations. Our objective is to optimize the mix of advisors to gain broad exposure across strategies and markets to achieve an attractive return and to mitigate risk. The framework helps clients adopt more pragmatic and tactical market perspectives, more efficient macro economic investment themes and professionally managed investment solutions. When you establish a managed account with Alaron, CTAs will manage your own personal segregated account.What's Next? If you are unsure about long-term stock market performance and /or lack conviction about market direction- choose instead to put your money to work in more active, performance-driven alternatives, and consider Managed Futures. An Alternative Asset Allocation Framework can help you assess various dimensions of investment objectives in light of the many alternative investment styles and managers. Request a Managed Futures Allocation Proposal. Clients typically request that we tailor one of three Composite Portfolios � Conservative (Global), Moderate (Strategic) and Aggressive (Tactical) designed to balance return objectives and tolerance for risk/ drawdown together with the need for protection against major event risk and overall portfolio size.
