Aite Group recently mentioned Currensee as one of the Top 10 Trends in Wealth Management. “Copy Trading” is listed as the #7 trend on the report and shows some very positive signs for 2012.

The report refers to copy trading as “…one emerging financial service holding promise because it improves the outlook of all three pillars of wealth management (asset gathering, trading volume and fees), particularly during this period of low yields and uncertain economic conditions.”

Copy trading allows investors to follow professional traders by mirroring the professional’s trades in their own personal trading account. This allows investors to gain exposure in other markets where they might not have the time or skill to trade on their own. Copy trading is also beneficial to asset managers because it can funnel millions in AUM through their office.  Managers can offer a single trader or combine a group of traders and create a fund for their clients. In short, managers can offer their clients a viable way to invest in the currency market without being a currency specialist.

In an earlier Forbes article, Aite Group goes on to say how Currensee is the leader in educating investors and managing traders. An important part of copy trading is the proper vetting of currency traders that your clients can follow. The vetting process removes unprofessional traders who don’t have the discipline to trade successfully. By only allowing the top traders to be selected, the follower or asset manager only needs to choose few different traders to create a diversified currency investment. Following a group (or fund) of seasoned forex traders can be a nice addition to the standard equity/debt portfolio.

Recently, It seems like everyday is the scariest day in the market. Good news or bad news, it seems that the market has a mind of its own. Why not time the market and jump in and out at the most opportune time? Well, maybe because even the best money managers still haven’t figured it out. Here is a list of the top 3 trading days investors wished never happened.

#3.  9/29/08 -6.98% 

This day was the largest point drop in the Dow’s history and kicked off the worst recession since the Great Depression. The collapse of Lehman Brothers, AIG bailout and the end of Washington Mutual led to the 777-point single day decline. This recession is thought to be caused by a burst in the U.S. housing bubble and a markdown of sub-prime mortgage related securities.  Investors are still spooked from this event.

#2. 10/28/29 -12.82%

October 28^th 1929 started the longest and deepest depression in history.  The Great Depression had drastic effects on the rich and poor throughout the entire world. Even the Rockefellers and the top banks could not artificial prop up the market after this crash. The market didn’t recover from the 1929 peak until 1954.

#1. 10/19/87 -22.61%

This was the largest percentage decline in the history of the Dow Jones average. The drop of over 500 points caused panic throughout the world markets. Top economist predicted that the years following this drop would be worse than the 1930’s depression. Two days later the Dow gained back 10% and ended 1987 in positive territory.

What are the chances of missing the worst Dow declines in history?  Possibly, the same chances of buying before the best trading days in history. Guessing which direction the market is going may be an impossible task. Some investors may be retiring soon and cannot risk going through another Black Monday. Maybe a simpler solution is to diversify your portfolio with an investment that is uncorrelated with the market.

Happy Halloween from the team at Currensee!
