Managed Forex Accounts: High Returns And Low Draw Down - Is It Possible?
By Brendan Wilson
In the last 12 months we have been through the worst economic crisis since the great depression, and hopefully we have seen the worst of it. But at the end of the day, as investors or potential investors what have we really learned? I suspect not a lot. Individuals and fund managers will plow back their wealth back into the traditional investment vehicles and life will return to normal, or will it?


So what is the answer to this eternal problem of trying to maximize returns whilst attempting to diversify a portfolio across multiple asset classes? The answer for some investors who have the required risk capital may be a managed forex account or forex fund. Forex is widely recognized as being a high risk, high return investment vehicle that is not co-related to the tradition equity markets. For numerous reasons the forex market behaves in a thoroughly different manner to the stock markets.

Currencies will always have a high residual value, whereas stocks which can literally fall to near zero overnight or they can be subject to a halt of trading or any number of adverse news events that can see their value hit hard, all the while you may have little or no chance to liquidate your equities for a diminished return. Unlike stocks, currencies are backed by a countries central bank, so the whole nation would need to become bankrupt before its intrinsic value becomes in any way diminished.

Never before has it become more apparent that a paradigm shift has occurred where traditional investments such as stocks and bonds and even bank deposits are not as safe as they would have investors believe. The mortgage based derivatives that brought about this whole crisis and the collapse of 72 banks were thought to have been as good as government guaranteed and likewise with the banks, the likes of Wall Street heavy weights Bear Sterns and Lehman Bros.

It was obvious even well before the crisis that many people had far too much exposure to the stock market, especially those that were either retired or looking to retire soon. I only need to look at my own parents situation to know about this reality. Many people are having to face the prospect of returning to work or indefinately delay their retirement. Their dreams of an early and prosperous retirement shattered. As always the answer lies in diversification of your asset portfolio across multiple types of asset classes. The latest asset class is managed forex funds, or managed forex accounts. Once considered to be at the highest end of the risk spectrum it now appears they represent a non-correlated, well considered part of a diversified portfolio.
