What are Forex Managed Accounts
TheFXHelpers offers Forex managed accounts as alternative investments to diversify your portfolio with. They have absolute returns, so even during times when the market is in a downturn you can still make money. For investors that don’t have enough money to invest in a hedge fund but are looking for hedge fund like returns a Forex Managed Account is a great option.
You don’t trade stocks for yourself you have a stock broker. You don’t trade mutual funds by yourself you have a financial advisor for that.
So why should you trade Forex for yourself?
Trading for yourself in the Forex market is at best a difficult proposition. In order to become a successful Forex trader you must follow market movements 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Many Forex investors do not have the experience, time or desire to trade with this intensity themselves. Hence, Forex Managed Accounts were created as alternative investments to diversify your portfolio with, for investors with risk capital who do not necessarily want to trade on their own. They have absolute returns, so even during times when the market is in a downturn you can still make money.
In a Forex Managed Account the owner of the account grants permission to the professional trader to trade on his/her behalf. Unlike mutual funds or hedge funds which commingle your funds with other investors, a Forex Managed Account is in your name and all or part of your funds can be redeemed at the end of the trading period. There is no lock up period.
The managed account allows you to monitor the activity in your account. Based on your long-term goals, risk tolerance and time horizon, you may want to invest with one of our managed accounts.
