“I have had quite a bad track record when it comes to managed accounts. Some managers have scammed me and others have been really sub-par. The Trading Club, however, was able to connect me with a great manager that I still work with to this day.”

What is a Managed Account?

A managed account is essentially one that is owned by an individual investor but which is looked after by a seasoned and experienced professional money manager such as a Commodity Trading Advisor (CTA). These accounts should not be confused with mutual funds in which an account is owned by numerous investors and are taken care of by an investment team.

Such services are provided to individual investors, small businesses as well as institutional clients and are some of the most advanced professional investment solutions. They also use some of the same investment strategies that are employed within the hedge fund industry.

Managed accounts attempt to provide their clients with meaningful investments based on realistic goals and risk management levels all of which are detailed by the CTA. These services can deal in currencies, stocks, commodities and indices depending on the trader’s preferences.

Advantages of a Managed Account

Professional Managed Accounts have only recently started to become more prevalent among online investment circles. Most traders have viewed investment manager solutions as either a large scale mutual fund or smaller yet much more expensive hedge funds. Managed accounts fit well between these two options and have the following advantages:

  • Professional TradersThere comes a great deal of confidence that the investor has knowing that their money is being looked after by professional traders who use time tested and effective strategies. They also have sophisticated risk management protocols in order to limit any adverse account movements.
  • Bespoke SolutionUnlike Mutual funds and hedge funds, with a Managed Account there is more opportunity for the trader to request certain trading parameters. These include such factors as the assets being traded, the volume of daily trades as well as the risk controls that the trader should use.
  • Liquid AccountsWith a managed account solution, there is more scope for use of liquid accounts. This of course depends on manager conditions but some managed traders allow full withdrawal privileges for their clients. This is advantageous for those clients who would like the freedom of having access to funds.
  • Personal InteractionThis is where managed accounts can indeed stand out compared to other investment solutions. Some managed account traders are more willing to keep an ongoing dialogue with their investors. This could be beneficial for the investor that would like to get some insight into trading and leave with more than just returns.
  • Smaller Capital RequirementsUnlike other alternative investment solutions such as hedge funds, managed accounts don’t require such large capital injections. They are more for retail investors who would like to achieve similar returns on their money that was previously only available to high net worth individuals.

Beware of Scams!

We have all seen them, the fake client testimonials, the supposed monthly guaranteed returns. A managed account “professional” with promises that are too good to be true, and no one else to verify the performance with. Unlike most investment managers which have to disclose audited financial reports, Binary Options Managed Account providers are not beholden to the same standards. Our members have shared some unfortunate stories about Managed Account scammers who have colluded with brokers to show impressive returns. Then, upon a larger investment by the client, the provider loses all of the client’s money to the benefit of the broker and the provider.

You also should be wary of any managed account solution that purports to use “revolutionary” and “extremely profitable” software to trade automatically. Despite all of the money at stake in research, well automated software still has not replaced the human trader. Moreover, binary option robot software is often nothing more than marketing gimmick to lure unsuspecting traders into the hands of an unscrupulous broker.

This is why it can sometimes be hard to find the best managed options account. As most seasoned investors would tell you, any Managed Account service has to be properly vetted with solid due diligence undertaken. This is not something that can be done in an instant. Essentially, it requires a great amount of time to cut through the noise and truly find the best Managed Account solution.

How are Managed Accounts Verified?

If you are considering a managed account solution then you may be interested in how you can verify whether their returns and whether they are legitimate. This is indeed no easy feat as managed account returns can be easily doctored these days with no way for an independent third party verification. That is where we come in.

If there is a manager that would like to present his services to our members we ask for extensive information on his previous returns. For example, we ask for access to their MYFXbook profile in order to independently verify past returns. This is the only way that you can see the exact trades that the trader made and confirm the performance of his previous managed accounts.

We also ask that the account manager do a trial period with us on a separately linked “phantom API” portfolio. What this does is track the managers returns in real time and monitor the trades that are been made. We will trial the manager for a period of 3 months to get a reasonable picture of the average monthly returns. If the account manager is up to his stated return benchmarks, we include him in our roster.

Of course, we all know that past performance cannot be indicative of future returns. That is why we actively monitor the traders that we are currently recommending to members. We also encourage comprehensive feedback from our members in order for us to get a good idea of which managers are providing the best overall service.
