Our read on HFMF
DManaged futures, replicated. HFMF aims at the return profile of the managed futures hedge fund sector as a whole, going long and short broad ETFs and futures across global markets, at the category's median fee.
The Fund seeks capital appreciation. It seeks managed-futures-like return characteristics through long and short positions in broad-based ETFs and futures contracts, with at least 80% of assets allocated to that strategy.
Why people hold it
- Targets the managed futures corner of the hedge fund industry, with at least 80% of assets in long and short positions across broad-based ETFs and futures contracts.
- The 0.95% expense ratio sits right at the median for managed futures ETFs, a category where nothing comes cheap.
- Global and multi-asset by design: long and short exposure assembled from exchange-listed futures and ETFs, all inside a standard 1940 Act fund.
Worth knowing
- Cheaper options sit in the same peer group: DBMF charges 0.85% and CTA 0.75%, and those longer-established names currently lead this small category.
- Launched in October 2024, so there is only a brief live record, and any read on its risk profile rests on that short history.
- Assets are modest and trading is light, which can mean wider bid-ask spreads than the category's most heavily traded funds.
