FAQ
This frequently asked questions section will give you clarity on Aurelius Commodities roles and responsibilities, investment strategy, fee structure & the benefits of collaborating with us.
When considering investing in commodities, it’s crucial to understand the minimum investment needed. Commodity trading advisors (CTAs) often have specific entry requirements. These can vary significantly based on the type of commodity, the trading strategy, and the CTA’s policies.
Some CTAs may have a minimum account size, which could range from a few thousand dollars to several million. Others might allow smaller investments.
It’s essential to inquire about these requirements upfront to ensure they align with your financial capacity and investment goals.
A thorough understanding of the CTA’s investment strategy is vital. Ask for detailed explanations of how they approach commodity markets.
Common strategies include trend-following, mean-reversion, and spread trading. Trend-following CTAs aim to capitalize on price trends, while mean-reversion strategies seek to profit from price reversals.
Inquire about risk management techniques, position sizing, and how they analyze market trends. Understanding their decision-making process will help you assess their suitability for your investment portfolio.
CTAs charge fees for managing your investment. These fees can impact your overall returns.
The fee structure typically includes a management fee (based on assets under management) and a performance fee (a percentage of profits). Some CTAs may also charge additional fees for administrative costs.
Clarify whether fees are calculated monthly, quarterly, or annually. Also, ask about high-water marks (where performance fees apply only if new highs are reached) and hurdle rates (minimum performance required before performance fees kick in).
