The managed futures industry makes up a significant component of the global hedge fund industry assets under management, approaching 10% according to the most recent BarclayHedge data. With a total of US$3,826 billion hedge fund assets under management at the end of 2020, (more than doubling since 2011), the managed futures industry is worth US$301.5 billion; fluctuating between US$301.5 billion and nearly US$359 billion during the past 10 years¹.

Within this sphere, there has been a significant increase in the demand for separately managed accounts and managed account platforms, in particular to reduce risks from commingled funds, while gaining greater flexibility and operational efficiency. As advances in financial technology continue to modernise the investment funds industry, more opportunities are created for a broader scope of investors.
