Abstract: Abstract Some investment advisors and reference services include managed futures as a type of hedge fund and report its performance along with other hedge fund strategies. There are, however, important differences between a managed futures fund or program and a traditional hedge fund. First, managed futures are generally proprietary and offered as an optional service by broker-dealer firms; whereas hedge funds are independently operated by a professional money manager.
