The Commodity Trends Strategy Fund


The importance of non-correlation

Non-correlating assets help reduce volatility, while providing diversifica­tion and risk-adjusted returns for your investors' portfolios. Whether market volatility is high or low, investors should consider incorporating alternative assets that have low correlation to traditional investment vehicles into their portfolios.

The graph (below) compares the correlation of traditional asset classes to that of both the S&P 500® Index and the Direxion Commodity Trends Strategy Fund.


Correlation Analysis

As you can see, the Commodity Trends Strategy Fund has historically performed independently of traditional asset classes, such as stocks and bonds. This non-correlation could allow portfolio volatility to be reduced when the fund is included as part of a well-balanced portfolio.
