Institutions and Corporations
Our client roster
encompasses many of the world’s leading
financial institutions and major
industrial companies. They rely on MF
Global to provide them with access to an
array of markets. Some of our
institutional clients are taking a view
on market movements in the hopes of
achieving attractive investment returns.
Other clients look to us for the risk
management support we provide, as they
seek to hedge positions they may have in
commodities, foreign exchange, or
financial markets.
Asset Managers and Hedge Funds
Our asset manager
clients include managers of large mutual
funds, commodity trading advisors (CTAs)1,
commodity pool operators (CPOs)2,
and other investment advisors. Our hedge
fund clients include a range of
alternative investment companies.
1 CTAs are individuals or firms registered with the
Commodity Futures Trading Commission that receive compensation for providing
investors with advice on options, futures, and the actual trading of managed
futures accounts.
2 A CPO collects funds from investors and invests
them in futures and commodity options.
