Pimco Brings Its Alt Game

News summary by MFWire's editors

Pimco [profile] is branching out and launching its first managed-futures mutual fund, Pimco Trends Managed Futures Fund, InvestmentNews' Jason Kephart reports. It's an interesting time to launch a managed-futures fund. As Kephart writes, the managed-futures category hasn't performed well in the long term.

Pimco's alternative strategies have grown over the years, from $28 billion in assets in alternative mutual funds in 2008 to $100 billion today, Kephart writes. Not all managed-futures funds have fared poorly, with Aberdeen Asset Management [profile] Credit Suisse Managed Futures Strategy Fund up 7 percent year-to-date and Natixis Global Asset Management [profile] Natixis ASG Managed Futures Strategy Fund up 5 percent, Kephart reports. 361 Funds [profile] 361 Managed Futures Strategy is up 4 percent year to date.
