    CTAs are back…what has changed?

    This paper is the first of a new series, Just the FAQs, addressing those questions we are receiving most often from our investors. Through the end of May 2022, CTAs are off to their best start to a calendar year since 1995 using the Barclay CTA Index as a proxy, exceeding early returns from 2008. Consequently, both those who have recently benefited from a trend-following allocation and others considering new investments are now asking the same question: “What has changed?”

    Managing the Future

    EXPLORING RESPONSIBLE INVESTING AND THE ABILITY OF CTAS TO EFFECT POSITIVE CHANGE

    This new discussion paper from the Lynx Sustainability Forum – Managing the Future – explores the challenges and opportunities for CTAs to incorporate ESG and sustainability principles in their approach. As active participants in the global futures markets, CTAs contribute to a sustainable financial system by enhancing transparency and allowing businesses and investors to hedge their risks efficiently. However, responsible investing techniques developed for equity and debt securities cannot be readily translated to managed futures since contracts do not convey legal ownership or control of the underlying assets. Additionally, there is no broadly accepted framework in place to classify futures contracts using environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles.

    The paper is meant to raise relevant questions and inspire conversations, rather than draw definitive conclusions. We welcome your feedback and look forward to having those conversation with you.
