As a division of GAIN Capital, FOREX.com offers access to GAIN Capital Asset Management's Managed Account (MAC) Program, which accommodates the needs of institutional and individual investors interested in allocating a portion of their risk capital to the Foreign Exchange (Forex) market.
Established in October 2000, the MAC program focuses solely on spot trading in the Foreign Exchange (Forex) market. Only the most liquid currencies are traded - including the US Dollar, Japanese Yen, Euro, British Pound, Swiss Franc, Canadian Dollar, New Zealand and Australian Dollar.
Depending on a managed program's trading strategy and leverage use, studies of published professionally managed forex programs show uncorrelated returns compared to most other asset classes, including the major equity indices. Such uncorrelated returns mean a partial allocation to managed currencies can reduce a portfolio's total return volatility and provide for better total return consistency over time.
