With interest rates near all-time lows, and equity valuations stretched, investors are searching for sources of absolute returns that can simultaneously serve as a portfolio diversifier.

The Simplify Managed Futures Strategy ETF (CTA) seeks long term capital appreciation by systematically investing in futures in an attempt to create an absolute return profile, that also has a low correlation to equities, and can provide support in risk-off events.

To this end, CTA deploys a suite of systematic models that have been designed by Altis Partners, a commodity trading advisor with over 20 years of experience.
