LAUREL, MD--(Marketwired - Oct 5, 2015) - Arrow Investment Advisors, the advisor to Arrow Funds and ArrowShares, is pleased to announce that it has partnered with DUNN Capital Management, LLC to make institutional-style investing more accessible. The Arrow Managed Futures Strategy Fund (
"At Arrow, we strive to equip financial advisors and their clients with the same types of investment strategies that have long been used by institutional investors to enhance diversification and generate returns," says Joseph Barrato, CEO and Director of Investment Strategy at Arrow. "Today we are excited to begin offering access to one of the managed futures industry's premier and legendary CTAs through the Arrow Managed Futures Strategy Fund."
DUNN's WMA program utilizes a systematic, long-term trend following strategy to invest in a portfolio of financial, energy, metal and agricultural futures. The program invests in more than 50 global market segments and can go long or short in each of the markets. The DUNN approach emphasizes capital growth through the use of a higher volatility strategy when compared to other CTAs and managed futures strategies that place a large emphasis on lower volatility and capital preservation.
Martin Bergin, President of DUNN, maintains that the very nature of the WMA program makes it well-poised to serve as a portfolio diversifier. "It is evident that you can get better risk-adjusted performance by combining a large number of non-correlated markets which provides better diversification, and therefore, a more robust revenue stream," explains Bergin. "We firmly believe in our approach and are proud that more than a third of DUNN's assets under management belong to employees, friends and family."
In addition to providing exposure to DUNN's WMA program, the Arrow Managed Futures Strategy Fund invests in an actively-managed fixed-income portfolio to achieve its objective of providing long-term capital appreciation with absolute returns. Established in 2010, the Fund has evolved from a benchmark-based fund targeting the returns of an index to an actively-managed, multi-investment strategy in an effort to better meet the needs of investors.
