Lindner Capital Advisors Offers Managed Futures for Retail Investors

MARIETTA, Ga., Sept. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Lindner Capital Advisors (LCA) announced today that it is now offering a managed futures solution for non-accredited investors. Using the MutualHedge instrument from Equinox Fund Management, LCA is incorporating a managed futures component into its Contemporary Portfolio Series™, designed to offset downside risk.

MutualHedge is a portfolio of actively managed Commodity Trading Advisor (CTA) programs structured as a mutual fund. "With this fund, we can bring our unique investment approach to non-accredited investors," said LCA President Randal Langdon. "Retail investors can now incorporate managed futures into their portfolios just like institutional investors."

MutualHedge has distinct advantages over other alternative asset class investments such as limited partnerships. With its diversified access to the world's commodity, interest rate, equity and currency markets, it provides an investment class that is designed to deliver negative correlation to equities, bonds and other traditional investments. In this way, it may offer profit potential in bull and bear markets by exposure to both long and short strategies. It also offers daily liquidity and pricing.  

"We feel a tremendous sense of accomplishment in gaining Lindner Capital Advisors as an enthusiastic adopter of MutualHedge Frontier Legends Fund, as they acknowledge the value of MutualHedge and its objective of lowering volatility and providing non-correlation, both of which are essential to managing a successful investment portfolio in this uncertain economic climate," said Bob Enck, President and CEO of Equinox Fund Management.

LCA introduced its Contemporary Portfolio Series in 2009, which initially was available only to accredited investors through qualified registered investment advisors. With the inclusion of MutualHedge, the Contemporary Portfolio option is also available to non-accredited investors.  

"The effective use of managed futures and alternative investment asset classes requires a portfolio commitment of about 25% of the portfolio. While an overall portfolio too heavy in managed futures may be inadvisable for individual investors, one that's too light, or under-weighted, lacks a sufficient impact against volatile and fast-moving markets," Langdon said.
