Although there's anxiety on Wall Street in the wake of the Federal Reserve's decision this month to raise rates, 361 Capital CIO Cliff Stanton argues in this guest column that the uncertainty will also bring a few bright spots. Specifically, higher interest rates should benefit the managers and investors of some alternative mutual funds, long/short and managed futures in particular. Managed futures' relatively large cash holdings, which have been earning relatively little due to low interest rates, should benefit from the rate increase, while long/short funds' short rebate elements will also provide some added returns, Stanton says.
