Abstract

In this article we study and compare the investment performance and portfolio diversification benefits of passive and active long-only energy futures investment. We apply simple trend-capturing rules to dynamically reallocate capital into and out of the market. We find that active long-only investment may considerably increase absolute and risk-adjusted return, reduce the volatility inherent in energy futures, and provide significant downward protection in periods of extreme negative performance of the underlying energy markets.
