Opening the world of active commodity trading to the retail investor

Most of the investors I talk to are based in comfortable long-term portfolios. From this position, they can still see a whole other world where prices are fluctuating and commodities are moving and money is being exchanged. What they can’t see is a way into that world that doesn’t leave them completely exposed.

Futures Account allows you to have a hand in active trading without stepping out of your current portfolio or compromising your investment plans. It’s about using a fraction of your wealth to trade tangible commodities in markets that are in constant motion. Safety has its place, but when you have less to lose and more to gain, active trading has a place, too, and it’s not outside your grasp.

“Futures trading is a completely different type of investing. Because it’s so dynamic and fast-paced, the retail investor can be that much more hands-on, and at the same time will see greater benefit from having an expert as a guide.”

The Benefits of a Personal Futures Manager

Freedom and flexibility are important when you’re exploring new territory, so why be bound by restrictions like withdrawal fees, capital minimums or time commitments?

The Managed Futures account replaces these restrictions with guidelines for your personal risk tolerance, time frames and exit strategies. It also pairs you with a personal manager, so that you can be confident you’re avoiding the pitfalls and unnecessary risks.

“I never looked into futures because I didn’t have the time or the know-how to manage a portfolio on my own. What Murray offered was a way in, where I wasn’t worried about making mistakes or taking on too much risk.”

The Explore Futures Approach

Working with a personal money manager means you have a methodical process backing you and specialized advice at arm’s reach. The Explore Futures Approach is a combination of expert method and personal communication that keeps you informed, engaged and hands-on.

STEP 1 One-to-One Future Discussion

We sit down to discuss one or more opportunities, as well as what you hope to achieve by trading in the futures market.

STEP 2 Personal Parameters

We take a close look at your risk tolerance and personal goals in order to set our trading guidelines.

STEP 3 Profit Calculation

Once your risk capital is assigned, I analyze technical, fundamental and probability equations in order to formulate potential trades.

STEP 4 Active Involvement

Monitoring current market activity, I identify opportunities as they come up and engage in active trading.

STEP 5 Regular Notifications

We send you email notifications to keep you up-to-date on the status of your futures trading account.

STEP 6 Re-Evaluation

After set time periods we re-evaluate your risk tolerance against current conditions and adjust if necessary.

“I’ve always been interested in trading, and Murray’s offering allowed me to pursue my interests with the support I needed to stay on track.”

“I would recommend Murray’s services to anyone looking for a better way to invest risk capital. I was relatively unfamiliar with futures when I started working with him, but I could sleep soundly because my account was attuned to my personal needs. My portfolio is truly my own and I know I can pick up the phone and talk to Murray if there is anything I want to know - if he hasn’t already told me.”

Most investors I talk to have traditional long-term portfolios. From this position, they can still see a whole other world where prices are fluctuating and commodities are moving. What I offer is a way into this world that involves only a fraction of your wealth – in other words, a simple way into a unique marketplace with unique opportunities.

An individual futures account allows you to have a hand in active of your current portfolio or compromising your investment plans.

Safety has its place, but when you have less to lose and more to gain, active trading has a place, too, and it could be within your grasp.
