About CTA
Simplify Managed Futures Strategy ETF is an actively managed exchange-traded fund focused on a systematic long/short futures approach. The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by trading a diversified mix of futures contracts, primarily across U.S. Treasury, commodity, equity, and foreign exchange markets, with positions that can shift between trending and weakening markets. Its strategy is designed to provide an absolute-return profile and low correlation to traditional stock and bond portfolios, making it a diversifying tool within broader asset allocation frameworks. Simplify Managed Futures Strategy ETF uses rules-based signals to adjust exposure across liquid futures markets and typically accesses part of its portfolio through a subsidiary structure. The fund serves investors looking for a liquid, exchange-traded way to access managed futures exposure in a single product.
