Full-Service Account. A full-service account offers CFOS/FX clientele the best of all worlds.

(a) In-depth research, analysis and trading recommendations
(b) Order tracking, position analysis and ongoing account equity reviews

Self-Directed Account. Our self-directed account plan offers commodity futures trading at discounted commission rates. This plan is designed for traders who are self-reliant when making commodity futures trading decisions and tracking trades. This plan also includes personal service and attention of a CFOS commodity broker at the client's request, though limited.
Experienced commodity futures traders may either call in their orders to our commodity brokerage desk or may take advantage of online commodity futures trading platforms offered by our FCM's. The self-directed account plan offers special access directly to the trading floor for qualified accounts and additional commission discounts for active traders.

Managed Futures Account. Managed Futures accounts are for the individual or institutional investor who is simultaneously performance oriented and risk conscious when considering portfolio investments. Portfolio diversification may reduce portfolio volatility and risk while potentially enhancing returns, and Managed Futures can be used to either establish a new portfolio or complement an existing one. Please be aware that investments in managed futures accounts typically start around $20-30K, and many money manages may have required minimum investments of six or seven figures.
Managed Futures accounts utilize the abilities of professional Commodity Trading Advisors (CTA's) with experience, discipline, and track records of past and present trading results in the commodity markets. CTA's must register with the CFTC and are regulated by the CFTC and NFA. Unlike unregulated hedge funds, CTA's are required by the federal regulatory agencies to provide trading results and account statements on a frequent basis. Virtually all aspects of the CTA's investment program are covered in a "Disclosure Document" that each and every investor must acknowledge, understand and agree to prior to acceptance into the respective CTA investment program.
Since 1988, CFOS has seen the managed futures sector explode with a tremendous influx of new investor funds. However, with the Managed Futures sector growing exponentially over the last decade, so have the number of commodity investment programs. Knowing what to look for and how to compare so many different managed commodity investments is no easy task. The experienced professionals at CFOS can assist you to ensure the proper selection of a futures money manager, with your individual financial objectives and risk considerations in mind.
