About AHLYX
The American Beacon AHL Managed Futures Strategy Fund Y Class is an alternative mutual fund focused on capital growth through a systematic, quantitative investment approach. This fund is managed by AHL, a subsidiary of Man Group, one of the world’s largest publicly listed hedge fund providers. It employs a 100% rules-based trend-following strategy, seeking to benefit from price trends across approximately 120 global markets. The strategy targets four primary asset classes: equities, fixed income, currencies, and commodities, utilizing derivative instruments such as futures, options, swaps, and foreign exchange contracts to gain efficient exposure. The fund’s systematic process avoids discretionary decisions, leveraging advanced quantitative models for trade execution and risk management. With a relatively low correlation to traditional asset classes, it serves as a potential diversifier within a broader portfolio. The fund’s holdings are heavily concentrated in liquid government securities, particularly U.S. Treasury bills, to help manage collateral and liquidity needs. Its institutional share class structure and significant use of derivatives align it with the needs of sophisticated investors seeking exposure to trend-following strategies in global markets.
