Simplify Managed Futures Strategy ETF (CTA)
About this ETF
The Simplify Managed Futures Strategy ETF (CTA) aims to achieve long-term capital appreciation. It does this by systematically investing in futures contracts, with the objective of generating an absolute return profile. This strategy is designed to have a low correlation to traditional equity markets, offering potential resilience and support during periods of market downturns or 'risk-off' events. The ETF accomplishes these goals by deploying a comprehensive suite of systematic models, which were crafted by Altis Partners, a highly experienced commodity trading advisor boasting over two decades of expertise in the field.
