FAQs
Common Questions About Managed Futures SMAs
What is a Managed Futures SMA? A Managed Futures SMA is an investment account in your name, traded by a professional CTA using futures and options on futures. Unlike pooled funds, you retain full ownership, control, and visibility into every position.
How is this different from a managed fund? With an SMA, you own the underlying futures positions directly at the FCM. There are no redemption gates, lock-ups, or pooled fund restrictions—offering true transparency and liquidity.
What are the key benefits of a Managed Futures SMA?
Radical Transparency – View every trade and position in real time.
Absolute Control – Add, remove, or change managers at any time.
Capital Efficiency – Use notional funding to achieve leverage without borrowing.
Tax Efficiency – U.S. futures benefit from 60/40 capital gains treatment.
Valuation Clarity – Daily mark-to-market pricing ensures objectivity.
How much does it cost to use the RCM SMA Platform? The platform itself is free to RCM clients. RCM earns a portion of the brokerage and margin costs charged by the clearing firm, not from additional platform fees.
Who can open an SMA? Our SMA platform serves qualified eligible persons (QEPs), including high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and institutional investors. Minimums vary by manager, typically ranging from $500,000–$1 million nominal.
Can I work with multiple managers through one account? Yes. Our platform supports multi-manager portfolios, with consolidated reporting and risk management across all accounts and FCMs.
