Managed Futures Rankings

Our managed futures program rankings have developed over the years into a comprehensive tool which ranks commodity trading advisors (CTAs) across over 25 different metrics measuring performance, risk, experience, and more. The rankings are designed to measure which programs are the best across several statistics, then see which are consistently among the top ranked on each set of rankings - and therefore the best overall.

The page defaults to showing page 1 of Attain's Recommended list of 30 programs. You can view the additional pages of programs on this list by using the pagination links or 'next' arrow at the bottom of the table. To view different lists, use the Most Searched or Recently Featured links in the blue 'Filter By' column on the left. Click on All Programs in the same blue 'Filter By' column to view a listing of all 846 programs in our database, or use the 'search' box on the top left of the page to find a specific program.

The Watchlist link will change the table to show only those programs in saved your watchlist. To add programs to your watchlist, place a check in the box to the left of each CTA's name, and then click the 'Add to Watchlist' button at the bottom of the table. You can also 'Compare' the checked programs, jump to your watchlist in your MyAttain screen, or Create a Portfolio with the programs you have checked.

You can also use the blue 'Filter By' column to change the period on which the performance statistics are run (12mos, 36mos, 5yrs, 10yrs, All Time), sort the table by different metrics, and filter out programs by the minimum, strategy type, or correlation with the stock market.
