ProfEx Managed Futures Fund
Fed up with Insurance and most Mutual Fund returns? So were we. After nearly 4 years of work we can now provide a solution. Good returns with only modest risk.
It is no use pretending there is no risk - life itself is a risk but risk should be manageable and paleatable. The Profex fund looks at investing from the other end of the telescope - lets talk about how much you are prepared to risk to make substantial gains.
The answer maybe nil for a large portion of your savings (we would certainly advise this) - but if you have a lump sum of $20,000 or more that you are prepared to be more speculative then take a look at the possible returns with a leveraged fund such as ours.
We ask you merely to advise us how much of this would you be prepared to lose (15% minimum up to a maximum loss of 50%) in order to gain.
Our performance record speaks for itself. Without using our sophisticated money management scheme $20,000 has now turned into $72,000 since January 2003.
We DO NOT see this kind of stellar perfomance continuing (how often do you hear that?) but we do feel very confident that this will produce a long term growth of around 15% per annum - the last year's performance for instance has only made 12% so far on a rolling basis.
However, we also show you the downside - what is the maximum pain you would have gone through to get to this point. That figure currently stands at $6,405 per $20,000.
Had this happened from the very beginning it would be 32% of your capital - however the lowest recorded decline in a year is a mere 11%

Profits in both Rising and Falling Markets
The ability to make profits in both rising and falling markets is one of the areas most denied the public/personal investor. Unless you are prepared to take huge risk and cost through the options/ futures/commodities or forex markets it is generally only available to the professional. To trade options successfully for instance requires real time information on prices web sites are coming on stream to do this but they are all American based where the fundamentals of web connection are different (Most USA citizens do not pay call charges to log on to the Internet and benefit from a generally more advanced technology) More importantly the average investor has neither the time nor the inclination to study prices 8 hours of each day.
The Solution
The inclusion of a properly constructed managed futures component in a traditional investment portfolio of stocks and bonds, can provide significant overall benefits without significantly increasing costs or sacrificing liquidity. Managed futures can generate a smoother, richer return curve for the portfolio as a whole.
For those clients with significant capital assets (minimum £50,000 or $75,000) the role of managed futures cannot be overstressed. These strategies are similar to traditional funds except that instead of investing in stocks and bonds, they invest in portfolios of futures, options, commodities and foreign exchange. These markets posses characteristics that make them attractive investments:
- Long or short positions can be established with equal ease
- A wide range of global markets are available for investments
- They offer variable leverage, which can be controlled
- They are generally liquid and can be bought and sold efficiently
