2
Takes active positions in 10-15 highly liquid futures contracts.
3

DBi’s approach to managed futures
The iMGP DBi Managed Futures Fund seeks to replicate the pre-fee performance of a representative basket of leading managed futures hedge funds.
Investment strategy
The iMGP DBi Managed Futures Fund seeks to replicate the pre-fee performance of a representative basket of leading managed futures hedge funds.
Factor analysis is used to determine the current positions of the managed futures hedge funds.
The positions are then replicated using highly liquid futures contracts in equity, fixed income, currencies and commodities.
This approach is a smart and efficient way to gain exposure to managed futures, with the aim of outperforming the representative basket by 300-400 bps per annum, net of fees.
Through this strategy, the fund aims to mitigate three key investment risks:
Concentration Single Manager, Single fund, industry, geography
Human Biases Selection bias, etc.
Fee reduction is the purest form of alpha
The strategy seeks to optimize net returns to investors by approximating the main exposures that drive performance, minimizing trading and implementation costs, and offering lower all-in fees.
Strategy Performance vs Comparators
DBi’s Managed Futures strategy has demonstrated its ability to meet its objectives since inception and during periods of market stress in equity and bond markets.
