Barclay BTOP50 Index
The BTOP50 Index seeks to replicate the overall composition
of the managed futures industry with regard to trading style and overall
market exposure. The BTOP50 employs a top-down approach in selecting
its constituents. The largest investable trading advisor programs,
as measured by assets under management, are selected for inclusion
in the BTOP50. In each calendar year the selected trading advisor
programs represent, in aggregate, no less than 50% of the investable
assets of the Barclay CTA Universe. To be included in the BTOP50,
the following criteria must be met:
- Program must have at least two years of trading activity
- Program's advisor must have at least three years of operating
history
- The BTOP50's portfolio will be equally weighted among the selected
programs at the beginning of each calendar year and will be rebalanced
annually.
