Autumn Gold Portfolio Management LP Announces Managed Futures Fund with Transparency and Liquidity

March 26, 2009 - PRLog -- Scottsdale, AZ -- In the current economic environment there is a driving need for investment products that provide both transparency and liquidity.  A Scottsdale investment firm has developed a new futures fund designed to address these two requirements.  Autumn Gold Portfolio Management, LLC has announced the launch of the Autumn Gold Multi-Advisor Fund LP, a 4.7 Exempt fund designed to provide the opportunity for market returns that are non-correlated to the traditional stock/bond portfolio with the addition of transparency, daily valuations, and weekly liquidity.

With the volatility in the financial markets since September 2008, investors have been looking for calmer waters to ride out the storm.  Many people are looking to move capital from stocks and hedge funds into other investment classes that are non-correlated to equities.  Transparency and long-term lockups are a concern for all investors.  

The majority of futures funds report their trading performance after month-end.  Investors wishing to redeem often are limited to monthly or quarterly withdrawals with 15 days or more notice

The team at Autumn Gold Portfolio Management has created a fund that offers solutions to the limitations of the funds of the past.  Their new Multi-Advisor Fund will provide investors with a daily valuation of the fund.  Investors will also be able to see the fund’s aggregate daily positions, including the number of long and short contracts.  Additionally, investors will have the ability to make subscriptions and redemptions on a weekly basis.

The Managing Member of Autumn Gold Portfolio Management, LLC is Kim Avery.  Ms. Avery will be responsible for the selection of commodity trading advisors for the fund using a proprietary system that she has developed throughout her thirty-year career in the futures industry.  In her book “Building Wealth with Managed Futures”, she explains the statistical methods for evaluating a commodity trading advisor and how to select traders for a diversified portfolio.  These methods of evaluating risk, limiting leverage, and diversifying across trading styles and markets traded are some of the fundamental strategies that she employs.

Ms. Avery is also the Managing Member and founder of AutumnGold.com LLC, a financial services website that provides statistical analysis of alternative investments.  AutumnGold.com has tracked commodity trading advisors and hedge funds since 1997, when Ms. Avery realized that investors needed a central hub of information that was not biased towards any particular brokerage firm or trader.
