KMLM: Two Ways To Boost Portfolio Performance Amid A Turbulent 2026
The KraneShares Mount Lucas Managed Futures Index Strategy ETF offers strong diversification benefits via algorithmic trend-following across commodities, currencies, and global bonds. I see heightened stagflation risks for 2026, making KMLM and managed futures allocations especially timely for portfolios exposed to equities and bonds. Allocating 20% to managed futures like KMLM in a 50-30-20 portfolio historically improved returns, reduced volatility, and softened drawdowns versus traditional 60/40 mixes.
The 5% Yield Is Tempting But You Should Know Something Before Buying
The KraneShares Mount Lucas Managed Futures Index Strategy ETF (NYSEARCA:KMLM) offers a 5% dividend yield based on its most recent annual distribution.
KMLM: An Underappreciated Hedge
Managed future ETFs are funds that attempt to produce positive expected returns and some diversification to equities and fixed income. KraneShares Mount Lucas Managed Futures Index Strategy ETF offers low correlations with the S&P 500 and long-term US government bonds, which is great for diversification. KMLM has performed poorly relative to a couple of its key peers since 2022, making it an underappreciated fund, in my view.

Overview
The fund is designed to offer investors exposure to a mix of commodities, currencies, and global fixed income markets through futures contracts. These investments span both U.S. and foreign exchanges, aiming to replicate or align closely with the constituents of its benchmark index. Utilizing a trend following methodology, the fund's strategy seeks to capitalize on the momentum of these diverse asset classes. It's important to note that the fund is non-diversified, meaning it may invest a larger portion of its assets in fewer positions, potentially increasing its risk and volatility.
Products and Services
- Commodity Futures Contracts:
The fund invests in a variety of commodity futures contracts, which may include energy, metals, and agricultural products. These investments aim to capture the performance of commodity markets, providing a hedge against inflation and diversifying an investment portfolio away from traditional equities and fixed income securities.
- Currency Futures Contracts:
Through currency futures contracts, this fund seeks exposure to foreign exchange markets. This includes major currencies as well as emerging market currencies, potentially benefiting from changes in global interest rates, currency values, and economic indicators.
- Global Fixed Income Futures Contracts:
Investing in global fixed income futures, the fund aims to generate returns from the international bond markets. These investments may involve government, corporate, or other types of bonds, offering investors a way to gain exposure to interest rate movements and credit risks different from those found in the U.S. fixed income market.
- Direct and Indirect Investment in Debt Instruments:
Besides futures contracts, the fund may also directly or indirectly invest in debt instruments, such as bonds or notes. This can include securities from the U.S. or abroad, providing an additional layer of diversification and potential for income through interest payments.
