Trading 1256 contracts (for tax reasons) Return stacking (getting the risk-free rate PLUS the return from the trade) Portfolio margining (for a lot of reasons) I am a new money manager and I've seen experienced money managers deploy the tactics above for better overall performance. What other tactics or techniques am I missing?
All kidding aside, 1256 Contracts are not better for every manager and the same for leverage. Many managers have a longer term outlook, not looking for any short term gains. Then they can do tax harvesting. I have no idea what Return stacking is. I'll have to look that up.
