Liquid Capital Management has announced the launch of its family of alternative investment funds focused on managed futures. 

The Liquid Capital Fund, Liquid Ultra Fund, Liquid SO and Liquid LO funds are closed-end funds that use a statistical approach to taking advantage of volatility in equity markets by trading in futures contracts.  
 
Liquid Capital president and chief investment officer Brian Kim has more than a decade of experience in the financial markets, including positions as a proprietary trader at Heartland Securities, a privately held equity trading firm, as a portfolio manager at First Security Investments, and his current role as founder of Liquid Capital.

The firm says managed futures funds provide consistent performance, attractive liquidity, and low correlation to traditional asset classes and other strategies. They also serve as a potential hedge against inflation.

"As the markets continue to provide investors with an abundance of volatility, we believe managed futures can serve to address the increasing demand from investors seeking to supplement their portfolios with liquid and transparent strategies that have a low correlation with traditional asset classes,' says Kim.
 
The new fund line-up rounds out the existing managed account service offering which provides investors with customized exposure for exchange-traded futures and options. 
 
'The goal is to help our investors diversify from their holdings of underperforming assets and introduce them to market-beating alternatives,' Kim says. 'It is fundamentally important that we continually test liquidity, volatility, and operational risk limits to insure that we can provide consistent out performance with low volatility.'
