One of the many advantages managed futures offer is that their returns have low correlations with the returns of other traditional asset classes-even though they can entail significant costs. This monograph provides an overview of the industry, discusses the advantages and disadvantages of managed futures, reviews their historical performance record, presents a method for evaluating their performance in a portfolio, and lays out how to establish a managed futures program.

<p>Catherine "CJ" McCarter seems like she's got it all together. President of a university, accomplished economist, married to her college sweetheart, and mother of a beautiful and intelligent college-age daughter, from the outside, her life is the picture of success. But doubts about her husband's faithfulness and recurring thoughts about a young male PhD candidate are about to disrupt her tightly controlled existence and cause her to do things she's never dreamed of. Becoming embroiled in an academic scandal and being threatened by blackmail that could end her career and dismantle everything she's worked so hard for, CJ is forced to reckon with parts of her life--and herself--that have long been left unexamined.</p>
