DUNN Capital boasts a research team that includes four PhDs. The firm trades in 54 different futures markets across seven sectors: energy, metals, currencies, interest rates, bond indices, equity indices, and agricultural products. Bergin says he does not recommend individual investors buy or sell futures contracts themselves \\u2013 since only a deposit of 10% is required in most cases, a move of greater than 10% in the wrong direction could incur a loss of greater than 100% of the initial investment. Instead, he recommends investing with quality CTA firms, which are able to diversify risk across a multitude of markets and contracts.'
