Damien Hatfield, of Triple A Partners Australia, did a road-show with Bill Marr, who runs a CTA (Ramius Trading Systems (RTS)) a few weeks back in both Australian and New Zealand, and found that there was quite a bit of interest from investors in managed futures after all.

“In fact, a number of superannuation funds and fund managers are looking for macro and/or managed futures managers,” he said in his newsletter published yesterday. “To date, I have seen a number of investors place funds in one-off allocations to either Winton (who come up regularly) or Aspect.”

Winton Capital Management is one of the world’s largest CTAs with total AUM of around $13bn. And Aspect Capital is a London-based systematic investment manager, managing around $3.9bn.

However Hatfield thinks that one-off allocations to individual CTAs is not a smart investment decision.

Macro and managed futures should be contained within their own concentrated portfolio. Bill Marr's product has six CTAs and a macro manager.
