makloda, thanks very much for sharing. much appreciated.

Thanks, IASG was the first place I looked. Found figures for the other funds you quoted but not Brummer. Found the Swedish Brummer site too but the English links don't seem to indicate performance figures. Did you find it somewhere or are you an investor already. Is it availability in the US?

Thanks for your reply. The performance for the funds are indeed excellent. However, the minimum investment for Tulip Trend, Winton Futures, and Transtrend is way too high for me. I can't seem to find performance info for Brummers Lynx. Are they available in the US. Can you please provide a...

Bought some back in August after selling in March.

What are some of the better trend-following managed futures funds that you follow?

As of 7/31/08, the series B shares has dropped about 20% from it's high, in the past 2 weeks.

Net of fees, the series B shares are up 54.90% YTD as of 7/15/08.

That's correct. Superfund trades using trend following. But I bought and sold by anticipating trend reversals. Ie. I bought when I felt the funds losing trend would end, and sold when I thought their winning trend may be in jeopardy. Although, keep in mind I still have money in the fund. I just...

Figures are net expenses, ie. already accounted for. Here's the historical NAVs. I own the B shares, click the link for Superfund B: http://www.superfund.com/HP07/Start.aspx?country=us&lg=en&Disclaimer=Show

This time last year, Superfund was sucking wind and the Series B shares were down about -26% for the year. One year later, Series B is up 60% from the end of March. There were negative comments made of the fund at that time; which was understandable, considering the bad start to 2007. But I...

It depends on what you mean by closed and open, I guess. The original Schindler Fund is still in existence but is no longer offered. So it's closed to new investors but the fund is still being managed for existing investors.
