Fund Fact Sheet

An alternative approach to navigating the investment ocean.Longboard is an asset management firm specializing in trend following managed futures strategies. The firm’s principals have been investing in and researching trend following strategies since the late 1990s.

Financial advisors and their clients increasingly understand the need to further diversify their portfolios with alternative strategies such as managed futures. Historically, access to managers in this space has largely been limited to hedge funds offering their services to institutions and ultra-high net worth investors in the form of private limited partnerships.

Today, Longboard is rethinking managed futures by offering direct access to our flagship Pure Trend™ managed futures trend following strategy with the convenience of a traditional mutual fund.
