Episode notes

A managed futures fund is a special kind of hedge fund that follows an index. These are generally not applied to stock market investments, although they can be. What they're typically applied to are investments in currencies and commodities. All of these things have active futures contracts that are traded on exchanges.

In this episode we answer emails from Thurston Howell VI, MyContactInfo and Keith. We discuss DBMF and managed futures funds generally, my family's rapture with the sport of rowing and how to make basic asset location decisions to minimize taxes.

And THEN we our go through our weekly portfolio reviews of the seven sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio.
