If you’re looking for an in depth dive into what makes a successful manager in the alternative investment space, you’ll want to download our Alternative Analysis whitepaper on EMC Capital Advisors.
EMC Capital Advisors have certainly changed since its legendary beginning at the start of Managed Futures and the story of the turtle traders. It’s been three years since the passing of the great, Liz Cheval, and now President John Krautsack has steered the firm in the direction of research infrastructure and has since launched three new investment programs (one as sub-advisor to a liquid alternative mutual fund), while making tweaks to the Classic private fund.
The numbers speak for themselves. These programs, EMC Alpha and Alpha Plus, have generated double digit yearly returns, while the flagship program has established a 19% annual return over the past three decades {Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. These returns were not derived without drawdowns}. Put that all together, and it’s easy to understand EMC’s assets jumped from $70 million to $260 million in just under three years.
The growth in assets certainly catches onlookers, but what are John and his team doing to ensure their programs stay on top? Why are investors choosing EMC from the hundreds of the new alternative mutual funds? Enter our Alternative Analysis series (Download here), where we ask the why, when, and how questions that are only natural to those about to entrust their hard earned money to a manager; but rarely covered in the analytical ‘fact sheets’ which don’t have the room to cover the human element.
PS – If you like listening to the managers themselves, we have an upcoming webinar, February 10th, you can subscribe to, here.
