In early 2026, while broad equity indexes fell due to tariff escalation and macro uncertainty, three managed futures ETFs—KMLM, DBMF, and CTA—posted gains of 7-8%. These funds use trend-following strategies across commodities, currencies, and interest rates to capture sustained market moves, providing crisis alpha by performing well during equity selloffs.

These funds demonstrate how managed futures can reduce portfolio drawdowns and improve risk-adjusted returns during market stress.
