Andrew Beer, Founder & Managing Member at Dynamic Beta Investments and Nate Geraci, President of Novadius Wealth Management discuss how this previsouly niche part of the market is emerging as a force against volatility.

LOS ANGELES & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The iMGP DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF has surpassed $5 billion in assets under management (AUM) as of September 18, 2026.

Alternative ETFs and their growing role as portfolio diversifiers were the focus of this week's ETF Prime. Host Nate Geraci welcomed Cinthia Murphy, director of research at VettaFi, followed by Matt Bartolini of State Street Investment Management.

iMGP DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF has dynamic portfolio hedging, preserving CAGRs while dampening bearish phases. DBMF currently holds net long global equity exposure, short US Treasuries, and short EUR/JPY, reflecting CTA positioning. In my opinion, DBMF adapts quickly to trend reversals, reducing idiosyncratic risk and potentially minimizing portfolio CAGR drainage in overextended markets.

Halfway through the year, the U.S. equity market performance is broadening. That said, market concentration remains incredibly high, while equity and bond correlations sit in positive territory — conditions that scream a call for diversification.

For retirees who watched bonds fail to cushion equity losses in 2022, the iMGP DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF (NYSEARCA:DBMF) has changed the conversation by gathering roughly $3 billion in assets and delivering what the 60/40 portfolio failed to deliver then and is again outpacing in 2026: a return stream that does not move in lockstep with stocks and bonds.

Exchange traded fund inflows have topped $750 billion in 2026. This puts the industry on pace to challenge the $1.5 trillion annual record set last year, Todd Rosenbluth, head of research at VettaFi, told host Nate Geraci on this week's ETF Prime.

Managed futures funds spent most of the past decade as a footnote in portfolio construction conversations.

The S&P 500 has shed roughly its worst drawdown in the past 12 months during the early months of 2026, as tariff escalation and macro uncertainty rattled equity markets.

An increase in market volatility is driving ETF innovation around packaging ever-more complex strategies into single instruments. One example is the growth of strategies like managed futures.
