DBMF Is Quietly Beating the 60/40 Portfolio in 2026, and This $3 Billion Fund Leads the Pack
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.
DBMF: A Portfolio Idea To Boost Risk-Adjusted Performance
The iMGP DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF has delivered nearly 10% gains in two months, outperforming as a low-correlation portfolio diversifier. DBMF's strong 2025 performance can probably be best attributed to long positions in shorter-duration US government bonds. While DBMF isn't a perfect hedge, its uncorrelated returns make it a valuable component in a diversified, risk-adjusted portfolio strategy.
DBMF: Fortunately, It's Not What You Expect
DBMF offers retail investors access to CTA-like strategies, aiming for low cost. While DBMF's returns lag world indices and classic 60-40 portfolios, its negative correlation might be the real added value. And this kind of hedging is built right into the trend-following strategies or derivatives of CTAs.

Overview
The fund is designed for investors seeking to achieve their investment objective through a combination of strategies that include managed futures, investing in a wholly-owned subsidiary in the Cayman Islands, and direct investment in select debt instruments. Primarily focused on a managed futures strategy, the fund allocates a portion of its assets to its subsidiary for further investment accordance with the fund's goals, while also employing direct debt instrument investments for cash management and other purposes. Notably, it operates as a non-diversified fund, implying a concentration of investments that can lead to greater volatility or risk.
Products and Services
- Managed Futures Strategy
At its core, the fund invests its assets following a managed futures strategy. This approach involves speculating on the future prices of financial instruments and physical commodities, with the aim of generating profits from the changes in these prices. It is a sophisticated investment strategy that may include leveraging, thus it carries a higher level of risk, potentially leading to substantial returns or losses.
- Investment in Wholly-Owned Subsidiary
Up to 20% of the fund's total assets are allocated to its wholly-owned subsidiary, established under the laws of the Cayman Islands. This subsidiary adheres to the same investment objective and policies as the fund and is advised by the Sub-Advisor. This structure allows the fund to engage in investment activities and strategies that may not be wholly permissible directly in certain jurisdictions, thereby potentially enhancing the fund's ability to meet its investment objectives.
- Direct Investment in Select Debt Instruments
Aside from its main strategies, the fund also directly invests in select debt instruments. This facet of the fund's strategy serves both cash management and other operational purposes. Direct investment in debt instruments can provide a stable income stream to the fund, contributing to its overall performance and providing a counterbalance to the more volatile elements of its investment portfolio.
