The CTA value proposition. Video (EN/DE)

The CTA value proposition

Historically, CTAs show profitability over an entire business cycle, however the return stream can be lumpy. The long-term value proposition of CTAs includes portfolio protection, portfolio diversification, and capital appreciation. In other words, CTAs are like an insurance policy against severe market downturns, only that they also pay a premium.

This graph shows how CTAs are generating long term positive returns and offering portfolio protection during significant market down turns.

Das CTA Nutzenversprechen

​Historisch gesehen generieren CTAs positive Ertraege über einen gesamten Wirtschaftszyklus hinweg, wobei es auch Verlustphasen  gibt. Das langfristige Nutzenversprechen von CTAs beinhaltet Portfilioabsicherung, Portfoliodiversifizierung, und Kapitalzuwachs. In anderen Worten fungieren CTAs wie Versicherungspolicen gegen starke Marktbereinigungen, nur mit dem Unterschied, dass sie darüberhinaus auch noch Gewinne erzielen.

Dieser Graph verdeutlicht die langfristige positive Ertragskraft von CTAs und wie sie als Schutz in schwachen Marktphasen wirken können.
Picture
​Most CTAs use systematic trading strategies. Systematic trading strategies help to reduce behavioural bias and operational risk. The investment process is replicable in nature and they use long data histories for testing. This creates greater investment confidence.
​Die meisten CTAs benutzen systematische Handelsstrategien. Systematische Handelsstrategien schließen den Eingriff menschlicher Emotionen in den Anlageprozess aus, wobei die Zuverlässigkeit der zugrundeliegenden mathematischen Modelle anhand langer historischer Datenreihen getestet wird. Dadurch wird Vertrauen in diese Strategien hergestellt.
