The data we have is only a little more than a year and a half, so these correlations might not hold up over time. It certainly does not appear that it's going to be a big driver of returns in your portfolio. I do note for the period last year when we were in that big crisis, this fund actually held up quite well.

In this episode we discuss a "guest request" email I received and complete our analysis of the managed futures fund DBMF that we began in Episode 55.
