Opalesque Starts Premium Managed Futures Newsletter
Opalesque, the world's largest subscription-based publisher in the alternative investments area, has launched Opalesque Futures Intelligence to meet the needs of the managed futures industry and investors.
New York, NY, February 13, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The idea for the publication came from members of this growing community, which includes commodity trading advisers, fund managers and investors. Industry experts agreed to contribute analysis, commentary and data. Despite the financial and economic turmoil, managed futures did exceptionally well in 2008 and will likely continue to be an attractive investment. Yet people often have misconceptions about this strategy.
Opalesque Futures offers sophisticated analysis and commentary to illuminate various aspects of managed futures and help people understand it better. It is a must-read for anyone interested in this area, whether as investor or as manager.
Published every two weeks, the newsletter includes insights from industry pioneers and original research by experienced practitioners. In the first issue, Martin Lueck talks about last year’s trades and this year’s prospects. Mr. Lueck, currently president and head of research at Aspect Capital, was one of the three founders of AHL, the long-running futures program that became the flagship of Man Group.
Sol Waksman, the founder of Barclay Hedge and builder of the first database of commodity trading advisors, explains what’s behind the returns and how to approach managed futures investing.
Also in the first issue, Tim Merryman, a CTA, managed futures consultant and Opalesque Futures editorial advisor, looks at the impact of having managed futures in a portfolio. Contributor Walt Gallwas argues for the benefits of separate accounts, especially in view of fraud and redemption risks.
Among the regular features are comparisons of CTA indexes and summaries of recent regulatory developments and futures-related news. A special section mines different databases for the top managers.
The editor, Chidem Kurdas, has been writing about hedge funds since 2000. She has held positions as research analyst at Thomson Reuters, New York bureau chief at HedgeWorld and news editor at Infovest21. Earlier in her career she taught economics at Pennsylvania State University and published a book about technology investing. She writes for a number of blogs and publications.
Opalesque Futures Intelligence (OFI) will be a venue for the managed futures industry and affiliated businesses, tracking the latest developments and presenting the views and concerns of industry people.
About Opalesque:
In 2003, with the publication of its daily Alternative Market Briefing, Opalesque successfully launched an information revolution in the hedge fund media space: "Opalesque changed the world by bringing transparency where there was opacity and by delivering an accurate professional reporting service." - Nigel Blanchard, Culross. This hybrid financial news service, which combines proprietary industry news stories and filtered third party reports, has been credited by many industry insiders with delivering precise, accurate, and vital information to a notoriously guarded audience.
Each week, Opalesque publications are read by more than 610,000 industry professionals in over 130 countries. Opalesque is the only daily hedge fund publisher which is actually read by the elite managers themselves (http://www.opalesque.com/op_testimonials.html).
