Methodology of the Opalesque CTA Index

The Opalesque CTA Index tracks the performance of all managed futures strategies listed in this database.

Indexing is based on the following methodology:


FUND SELECTION

- All funds must report monthly returns net of fees

- Funds must be unique. We do not include duplicate share classes, both onshore and offshore version of the same fund, currency denominations, etc.


INDEX CALCULATION

- One month's index performance will be calculated on the 27th of the following month, including only funds that have reported estimated results at that time.

- At the same time, results of the preceding 2 months will be updated. All earlier index results will be locked.


NEW AND SHUT DOWN FUNDS

To ensure that the Managed Futures indices are reliable benchmarks,

- Performance data of new funds will be included starting the month of their addition

- Track records of shut down funds or funds that stop reporting will remain in the index permanently
