Institutional investors active in CTA funds up 41% from a year ago

Preqin released a research note last week highlighting the growth of institutional investor interest in commodity trading adviser funds. The number of institutional investors active in such funds has increased 41% this year and 21% annually since 2008. Preqin notes that heightened interest in the strategy has been driven by institutional investors targeting investments that provide transparency and liquidity in their hedge fund portfolios during times of heightened volatility and slow economic growth.
