● Who regulates CTAs?
CTA’s are typically registered with a national regulatory body. CTA’s trading futures in the U.S. are regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the National Futures Association (NFA).
● Where is the money deposited when a managed futures account is opened?
If you open an account, the funds in your account will be maintained in a customer segregated funds account.
Liquidity of the CTA Managed Account
‧A managed account offers a high degree of liquidity. Investors can submit partial or full redemption request whenever they want.
‧If money must be withdrawn from a trading account, the manager should be allowed appropriate time to close positions as profitably as possible. The recommended time frame is at least 5 trading days.
Transparency of the Managed Account
You’ll have full accountability to all trading activity in your account 24/7! There are three ways you can track your account.
‧A purchase and sale statement will automatically be sent to your chosen mailing address on every single trade. The Purchase and Sale Statement shows the date and price entered, when you exit a trade, the date, price, net profit or loss on the trade and also your account balance.
‧A complete accounting of all the activity in your account, including the account balance, can be seen 24 hours a day.
‧You may call your managed futures specialist, who receives a daily equity run detailing all your open positions, netting all profits and losses, showing the exact daily balance in your account.
