Commodity Trading Advisors (CTAs)

They use research, technical analysis, and market strategies to attempt to profit from price movements in commodities, financial instruments, and other assets. CTAs typically operate under regulatory oversight, providing clients with transparency and managed exposure to diverse markets. Their goal is to generate returns through active trading while managing risks, making them a key component of alternative investment portfolios for investors seeking exposure beyond traditional stocks and bonds.
