Whew – we made it through 2020. From the Red Wedding in March to somewhat unbelievable rallies across stock indices in the second half of the year, there was something for across 2020.

 

Commodities notably ended the year pretty deep in the red,  even with the major upswings in quarters 2, 3, and 4. And U.S. Stocks pulled itself off the Q1 mat to fight back and perform as the top performer for the year, securing the top spot for two years running. Our go to alternative managed futures didn’t knock it out of the park during the Covid Crash – but they kept their head above water and were one of the best Q4 performers.

 

2021 – whatcha got for us?
