What They Are Saying About the Book:

“Through this excellent book Mark Melin has reminded us of the virtues of managed futures, how it has prospered during these difficult financial times, and how it has passed the test of time over this last half century. Whether because of its uncorrected nature, its exploitation of market inefficiencies that never go away, or its liquidity, managed futures continues to show itself as a worthwhile strategy for diversifying investment portfolios. Private and institutional investors will be well served in spending some time in perusing this book and becoming acquainted and reacquainted with this robust investment strategy.”

— Dr. Carl Peters, Endowed Chair in Economics, Westminster College; Author, Managed Futures;
