Overview

Established in 1985, The Bornhoft Group Corporation (formerly Hart-Bornhoft Group) and its predecessor companies have, for more than 25 years, specialized in designing, implementing and managing multi-advisor managed futures portfolios for both institutional investors and [publicly-offered] funds. We strive to generate excellent risk-adjusted returns for our diverse client base through innovation, persistence and the application of state-of-the-art technology across all aspects of our business.

Our portfolios use managed futures, with its inherent absolute return and portable alpha characteristics, in different ways — including asset allocation, portfolio overlay and enhanced indexing — to meet clients’ specific needs.

The Bornhoft Group is guided by its Christian heritage and values, which is the foundation of its success.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Managed Futures and Options are speculative, involve a high degree of risk and may not be suitable for all investors.

A Pioneer in Managed Futures

The Bornhoft Group is among the most experienced firms in its specialty, whereby the founding principals launched their first multi-advisor managed futures fund in 1983. It currently manages approximately $1,224,789,000 as of March 1, 2011 and, over its history, has allocated more than $2 billion to managed futures advisors. It has structured managed futures portfolios for nearly twenty of the largest banking organizations, U.S. public pension plans and Fortune 500 corporations in the world. 1

The Bornhoft Group is also a founding principal of Equinox Fund Management, an SEC-registered investment advisor and manager of The Frontier Fund, the first publicly-offered US managed futures fund offered in a mutual fund type structure with daily liquidity.

The Bornhoft Group was responsible for the first index-linked managed futures product — the MAR Trading Advisor Index Fund, launched in 1999 — and was later a founding principal of Morningstar Hedge.

Knowledgeable

The Bornhoft Group has performed due diligence, advisor selection, portfolio construction, ongoing risk monitoring and management of multi-advisor managed futures portfolios since 1985. The Bornhoft Group monitors the performance of more than 1500 of the world’s leading managed futures advisors, with its extensive database tracking both performance and qualitative due diligence factors. This resource, supported by proprietary investment analysis and asset allocation software, is the basic tool in The Bornhoft Group’s investment design, implementation and monitoring armory.

Client-Oriented

The goal of The Bornhoft Group is to provide institutions with managed futures portfolios that are distinguished by their low (and often negative) correlation with traditional investments and may provide attractive risk-adjusted returns, improving overall portfolio performance and enhancing strategic asset allocation. We have long experience in successfully developing portfolios structured to meet the risk/reward parameters and investment goals of our institutional clients. Managed Futures and Options are speculative, involve a high degree of risk and may not be suitable for all investors.

Once an investment program is implemented, The Bornhoft Group acts as the registered investment advisor, providing ongoing management of the multiple-advisor portfolio, as well as daily valuation, reporting and related administrative services, providing institutional investors with a high level of transparency.

Past performance is not indicative of future results.
