Although stock markets started off 2016 with a historically bad
opening week, liquid alternative funds have demonstrated their
potential value during such periods of instability. For example,
funds in the managed futures category gained 1.21% in the first
week of trading, outperforming all but four of the more than 90
fund categories tracked by Morningstar. Managers say that
strategies aimed at trends in currencies, commodities, interest
rates and stocks aren't affected by the overall direction of
the market, making them an effective addition to investors'
traditional portfolios.
