Frequently asked questions
How does Cleartree Asset Management structure its investment offering?
Cleartree operates as a multi-manager commodity pool, allocating capital across a roster of external trading advisors rather than running a single in-house strategy. This structure allows the firm to offer investors diversified exposure to managed futures — including trend-following, discretionary macro, and relative-value approaches — within a single fund vehicle. The commodity pool framework is standard for CTAs that aggregate investor capital to deploy across multiple managers.
What markets does Cleartree trade?
Cleartree's mandate spans the global futures universe: equity index futures, government bond futures, currency forwards and futures, energy contracts, metals, and agricultural commodities. This broad opportunity set is typical of multi-manager CTAs that seek non-correlated return streams. Specific weightings across these sectors depend on the composition of the underlying trading teams selected at any given time.
Is Cleartree accessible to individual investors?
As a registered Commodity Pool Operator, Cleartree's pools are typically offered only to qualified eligible participants — institutions and high-net-worth individuals who meet CFTC Regulation 4.7 thresholds. The firm does not appear to operate '40 Act mutual funds or ETFs, which means retail access through standard brokerage accounts is unlikely. This keeps the investor base limited to those who meet the sophistication and net-worth criteria that exempt commodity pools from certain disclosure and reporting requirements.
What is the firm's regulatory standing?
Cleartree Asset Management, Inc. is registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission as a Commodity Pool Operator and Commodity Trading Advisor and is a member of the National Futures Association. Registration can be verified through the NFA's BASIC search system. There are no publicly reported disciplinary actions associated with the firm in CFTC or NFA records.
How does Cleartree source the trading teams it allocates to?
The firm sources CTA talent through industry relationships developed over more than a decade in the managed futures space. Founder David Molnar's network, built partly through proximity to trading hubs in New York and conventional CTA conferences and capital-introduction events, forms the core of deal flow. Because Cleartree is not a public-facing marketing organization, most manager introductions appear to come through private referrals and intermediary relationships.
