Kidney Transplant
A kidney transplant is a surgery to replace a diseased or damaged kidney with a donor's kidney. The donor may be a relative or friend. The donor can also be someone who has died and donated the organs.
Reasons for Procedure
A kidney transplant is done to replace a kidney that is no longer working and cannot be fixed. It may also be done if the kidney has been removed. A kidney transplant is only needed if both kidneys are not working. Common causes of kidney failure include:
- Uncontrolled high blood pressure
- Uncontrolled diabetes
- Autoimmune disorders, such as systemic lupus erythematosus
- Interstitial nephritis
- Glomerulonephritis
- Polycystic kidney disease
- Damage from a severe bacterial kidney infection
Some factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
- Smoking
- Pre-existing medical conditions, especially certain heart, lung, and liver diseases
- Autoimmune disease
- Current infection
- HIV infection
- Young age or increased age—of either you or the donor
- Poorly matching tissue between you and the donor
- Prior failed transplant
- Pregnancy
- Cancer
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
- Infection
- Urinary/ureteral obstruction
- Bleeding
- Rejection of the new kidney
- Urine leakage into the body
- Blood clot
- Damage to blood vessels or nerves
- Damage to nearby organs
- Cancer risk due to prolonged use of immunosuppressive drugs
What to Expect Prior to Procedure?
There is a shortage of donors. You may be on a transplant list for some time. You may need to carry a cell phone with you at all times. This will allow the transplant team to reach you if a kidney becomes available.
Your doctor will likely do the following:
- Physical exam
- Review of medications
- Blood tests,
- tissue typing
Tests to check your Heart, Lung fit for transplant.
You need to see multidisciplinary team members to ensure fitness for surgery
- Psychological testing and counseling—to help you to be prepared for the transplant.
Leading up to your procedure:
- Continue dialysis as instructed by your doctor.
- Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to one week before the procedure.
- Take medications as directed. Do not take over-the-counter medications without checking with your doctor.
- Eat a light meal the night before. Do not eat or drink anything after midnight.
- Arrange for someone to drive you home. Also, arrange for someone to help you at home.
General anaesthesia will be used. you will be asleep during the procedure.
Description of the Procedure:
An incision will be made in the lower abdomen. The donated kidney will be connected to your arteries, veins, and ureter, which is the tube that carries the urine to the bladder. In most cases, a diseased kidney will be left in place unless it is causing problems or if a room is needed for the transplant. The incision will be closed. The new kidney may start producing urine right away or within a short time.
Immediately After Procedure:
You will be closely monitored in the intensive care unit (ICU) and will have the following devices:
- Breathing tube until you can breathe on your own
- IV fluids and medication
- Bladder catheter to drain urine
How Long Will It Take?
3-6 hours
How Long Will It Take?
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
Average Hospital Stay
This procedure is done in a hospital setting. The usual length of stay is 1-2 weeks. Your doctor may choose to keep you longer if you have complications.
Post-procedure Care At the Hospital
While you are recovering at the hospital, you will need to:
- Get out of bed the day after surgery.
- Breathe deeply and cough 10-20 times every hour—this will help your lungs work better after surgery.
- Take immunosuppressive drugs—you will need to take these for the rest of your life. These drugs reduce the chance that your body will reject the new kidney.
- Wear compression stockings to reduce the risk of blood clots.
At Home
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
- Take medication as advised by your doctor, which may include:
- Steroids to reduce inflammation and to prevent rejection
- Diuretics to stimulate kidney function and control blood pressure
- Your new kidney needs to be monitored. Have tests and exams done as directed.
- Weigh yourself daily. Also, measure the amount of fluids you take in and the amount of urine you pass.
- Restrict the amount of salt and protein that you eat.
- If advised by your doctor, avoid alcohol for at least one year.
Call Your Doctor
It is important for you to monitor your recovery after you leave the hospital. Alert your doctor to any problems right away. If any of the followings occur, call your doctor:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or discharge from the incision site
- Passing no or only small amounts of urine
- Pain, burning, urgency, frequency of urination, or persistent bleeding in the urine
- Vomiting, black or tarry stools, diarrhoea, or constipation
- Abdominal pain or cramping
- A sore throat or mouth sores
- A cough, shortness of breath, or any chest pain
- Coughing up blood
- Severe headache
- A headache, confusion, lightheadedness, or loss of consciousness
- Pain and/or swelling in your feet, calves, or legs
- Weight gain greater than 3 pounds in one day

Mets - 100 000 002 - 3 6 0Josh Beckett took another huge step towards reasserting himself as the ace of the Red Sox staff. Although it was his own error -- on a pickoff attempt -- that helped the Mets score in the first, it's still considered unearned. (8-5-1-1-5, 117).
Red Sox - 200 000 000 - 2 6 1
Boston returned fire in the home half, as Jacoby Ellsbury and Dustin Pedroia both singled (18-game hit streak for Lyndon!), then pulled off a double steal. After David Ortiz struck out, Kevin Youkilis lined a two-run single to left.
Both starters settled down after that and we had a nifty duel. Pelfrey ended up going seven innings (7-6-2-1-6, 111) and Beckett set down 12 in a row at one point, from the first to the fifth. He also got out of a sticky 1st/3rd, one out jam in the seventh, getting a strike out and liner to center.
Jonathan Papelbon walked Gary Sheffield on five pitches to start the ninth, but roared back to overpower and strike out David Wright and Jeremy Reed, both swinging. But then Omir Santos then drove the first pitch he saw -- 97 fastball right over the plate, maybe a little high -- off the small ledge on the Wall for a two-run home run, though umpire Joe West had to go look at some video before the actual call was made.
Down a run, Youkilis walked to start the home ninth and was forced by Jason Bay. That was a tough play for the Sox, as Wright made a nice backhand to get the ball, then Luis Castillo saved an errant throw at second while still recording the out. J.D. Drew lined out to right and Mike Lowell grounded to shortstop. Lowell's ball was deep in the hole and anyone else on the roster would have beaten it out. But alas.
The Yankees walked off with a 5-4 win over the Phillies and the Blue Jays lost to Atlanta 4-3.
The top of the AL East:
***Blue Jays 27 19 --
Red Sox 25 18 0.5
Yankees 25 18 0.5
Mike Pelfrey (4.61, 95 ERA+) / Josh Beckett (5.85, 84 ERA+)
Pelfrey balked three times in his last start, against the Giants last Saturday. Afterwards, he spoke with a sports psychologist who has helped him in the past:
The mind is pretty powerful, and it controls all your muscles and all those things. So if it happens, then I'll be able to -- in my own little way -- I'll be able to tell my mind what I want to do, and hopefully, all the muscles and everything follow that.Mets manager Jerry Manuel:
That's the way you try to solve things. If he said, "I don't have an issue" and continued to do that, then we've got a problem.In seven starts, Pelfrey has pitched 41 innings, allowing 46 hits and 17 walks, while striking out only 11.
Matchups: David Wright is 1-for-15 against Beckett. No Red Sox batter has ever faced Pelfrey. ... Also: Phillies/Yankees at 4; Blue Jays/Atlanta at 7.

50 Years Later, Mavis Still Hopeful for Change as her Life's Work Moves from the Streets to the Polls
Mavis Staples, the first lady of resistance, is set to release Mavis Staples Live: Hope At The Hideout on November 4th of this year. Fitting that Mavis' record should come out the same day that one of the most momentous elections in U.S history will be decided, as her dedication to social justice and freedom spans over 40 years of modern history; first as lead singer of the Staples Singers, where her voice became the living soundtrack to the Civil Rights Movement , continuing through to 2007 when she won a Free Speech award created to honor artists that have incited discussion and worked against the status quo through their music and their actions.
With the election season kicking into high gear with the Democratic National Convention in Denver CO this week and the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis MN next, Mavis is releasing the first track off Hope At the Hideout today. Entitled "We Shall Not Be Moved," the song is a soulful rendition of a classic freedom song. While the song, which includes lines like "we're fighting for our children / we shall not be moved," could be the theme song for either of the current political campaigns, Mavis puts it squarely into context during an instrumental break-down in the middle of the song. In the South in the 1960s, Mavis drawls, just trying to have a meal in a restaurant was in itself an act of civil disobedience, and when she and her fellow marchers would be forcibly ejected by the police, they sang "We Shall Not Be Moved." By the end of the song, we get a real sense of where this amazing figure has been, and how much we have to learn from her. "We Shall Not Be Moved" is available for streaming or download on the Anti label blog.
Mavis has deep roots in this election. She and Barack Obama attended the same church in their shared hometown of Chicago. Obama, the man Mavis has called "in a way, so much like Dr. King" -and she would know, for Mavis and her family worked side by side with Dr. King fighting for civil rights - will deliver his highly-anticipated speech to the DNC on Thursday, the 45th anniversary of Dr. King's famous "I Have A Dream" speech. Congressman John Lewis, who figured prominently in last night's moving tribute to Senator Ted Kennedy, wrote the liner notes to Mavis' last record We'll Never Turn Back. But her connection goes deeper than personal relationships. In a year where "hope" and "change" are buzzwords of the day, Mavis Staples Live: Hope at the Hideout highlights how those two words are aspirations she has lived her life striving for.

4th of July Win and Nothing But Angels Fireworks Ever Since
Mariano Rivera gracefully bows out of the All-Star Game due to injury and fire balling rookie closer Jordan Walden is named to the AL team in Rivera's place, joining his equally deserving teammates Jered Weaver and Howie Kendrick. Yay! Peter Bourjos injures his hamstring. Oh no!! (Ouch! It didn't look season ending or anything but it sure looked painful.) And Angels #1 prospect, 19-year old Mike Trout gets called up from AA to take Bourjos' place for a few days. Yay!?! The Angels were only a game out of first. Yay! The Angels were tied for first. Yay!!! The Angels are a game out of first again. Eh. Wow, get busy and take a few days away from blogging and the whole world changes!
Well, as excited as I am about Trout debuting – and I wish him one heck of a great game tonight! – I understand this is a temporary move until Bourjos is back on his wing-shoed feet and I think that's probably for the best, unless he just takes off on a tear that is. Trout is 19, after all, and the outfield is really clicking the way it is. So while we wait for this excitement to unfold in a few moments, I'm going to wade back into blogging – after four days off, the horror! 😉 – by posting my photos from the 4th of July game against the Tigers.
Yes, I went to the ballgame again. *big, huge grin* As I mentioned a few posts ago, I am in the middle of a borderline embarrassment of baseball riches in terms of game tickets right now. We have tickets to tomorrow's game and Dierks Bentley concert. And, no, Dierks is not the only one that wants to have some fun tonight…er…tomorrow night. And then, next weekend we will enjoy our Bay Area baseball extravaganza. Crazy fun!
Catcher Jeff Mathis and the evening's starter Joel Pineiro warm up in left field right in front of our seats. I am developing a wallet healthy love for the first row of the upper deck but nothing beats field seats, in my opinion, when you can find someone willing to part with them cheaply. This 4th of July, the stadium was packed, almost as packed as during the Freeway Series earlier in the weekend, and the fans were fantastic. We happened to be sitting near a lot of Tigers fans, all of them pretty cool. Most were on vacation but the couple in our row just moved to Southern California last week. Their new diehard Angels fan neighbor brought them to the game to welcome them to California and give them a taste of home at the same time. All three individuals were really, really nice and I adore their story. Now that's being neighborly:
Ah the dreaded, and ever hilarious rookie reliever backpacks! We caught the Tigers heading toward the pen at the beginning of the game but couldn't get a good shot of the Angels rookies until after the game. Apparently the Tigers prefer pink Hello Kitty for their small dose of rookie humiliation while they Angels go for the slightly more dignified blue. Hey, the Cookie Monster backpack Bobby Cassevah is sporting is actually pretty cool. And, yes, that is our All Star closer modeling the Tinkerbell backpack. Excellent sports all, really, and at least neither team played the Beiber card. I don't know why all of the baseball hazing traditions amuse me so, but they do:
Torii Hunter and Bobby Abreu greet Victor Martinez before the game begins. I like baseball players to be fiercely competitive once the game begins, but I enjoy seeing player fraternization before the game. I like the idea that a lot of the guys are friends outside of the game across team lines. And from what I have seen before Angels games Torii, Bobby and Erick Aybar have friends on every single team in the majors. Besides, aren't the truly competitive more apt to go all out when competing against friends than just random folks they know in passing?:
Like all MLB teams who played at home on Monday, the Angels had special extended pre-game festivities in honor of the 4th of July. I love spending the 4th at a baseball game. It's a wonderful celebration of so many of the things about our country that are great. Last year, after the 4th of July Angels game, my husband told me that was the most fun he had ever had on the 4th of July. And that says a lot because he's an Eagle Scout who spent a lot of great 4ths backpacking and kayaking in truly gorgeous parts of the country:
Joel Pineiro took the mound for the Angels and pitched a great game – one run on five hits and three walks. Pineiro only had one strike out, but the sinkerball appeared to be sinking which was a good sign. This has been tricky for Pineiro this season, largely because of injuries I feel. So less hits, less walks, no homeruns and only one run. Pineiro is definitely getting back on a good track:
Tigers pitcher Charlie Furbush takes the mound in his Major League debut. (And don't think I didn't giggle a little when I typed that. Sometimes I'm still 12.) Regardless of the score, Furbush showed promise. He was not easily flustered and he didn't make very many mistakes…the Angels were just able to take advantage of each mistake he did make, a nice change for a team so often baffled by debuting pitchers:
Torii Hunter "welcomes" Charlie Furbush to the big leagues, knocking a pitch into the bullpens for a one-run homerun. Vernon Wells also went yard in this game and the Angels offense was generally nice and present:
Goofy shenanigans in the Bullpen in the second inning. While I would love to know who said what that had Trevor Bell playing "hear no evil", that will never happen. So I will have to content myself with this wonderfully silly photo:
Peter Bourjos takes a deep lead off third as Erick Aybar takes a swing in the 3rd inning. This shot immediately preceded one of the odder occurrences of the game. The umps charged Furbush with a balk and awarded Bourjos home plate. Personally, I hate the balk call. I have no problem with pitchers being a little deceptive and think that the call is never enforced consistently among the umpires anyway. But, hey, we'll take the run. Bourjos was on a mission this inning. He had just stolen second and third easily and was bound and determined to score even without the balk call:
Mark Trumbo moves to catch the throw down in the 4th as Jhonny Peralta moves back to first base. Peralta was a little tricky for Pineiro, accounting for two of the five hits as well as, on this hit, the Tigers only RBI.
Peter Bourjos makes another great catch. What, can't you tell its Fleet Pete? 😉 No, this isn't the highlight reel game changing catch in the 6th. That photo looks even worse. But it was another good catch. I am crossing my fingers and hoping Bourjos heals quickly and thoroughly because he is something to watch in center and his bat has been great lately too. No, the reason the photo is blurry isn't because Fleet Pete moves too fast…though I suppose that if I'd thought this through a little better I could have passed it off that way. 😉 No, basically, getting good action shots from a distance with powerful zoom is a little like firing a rifle. You have to have excellent breathing control. In fact, again much like a rifle, it's best if you can hold your breath, hold your body perfectly still and lightly press the shutter button. I am pretty good at this for most plays, but when it comes to amazing catches and also double plays, I get way too excited to hold my breath and keep still:
Mark Trumbo successfully steals second in the 6th, sliding under second baseman Ryan Raburn's tag. Trumbo has joked in several interviews that he is "not as fast as the other kids" and he's not…when you're talking about Bourjos. But all jokes aside, Trumbo can move and he's a smart base runner:
Angels fans stand as reliever Michael Kohn goes for the final out of the game. See, Southern California fans can be passionate! We (or rather they, not my husband and certainly not I) may spend way too much time playing with stupid beach balls in the stands, but that doesn't mean we don't care. Kohn did a great job in a non-close situation, getting the last three outs while handily preventing the game from becoming a close situation. And, yes, the Kohn puns are pretty much boundless at the Big A. You Kohn do it! InKohnceivable! Koooooohhhhhhnnnnnnn! And so on. Seriously, fans have scores of them:
And, of course, what would 4th of July be without a heavy dose of simulated rockets' red glare? If the Angels had kept the fireworks show in the same location as last season's display, our seats would have been some of the best in the house. As it was we had the foul pole in the way, but the fireworks show was still pretty darned cool. This season the 4th wasn't a get away day for the Angels so the team, the office staff and their families were able to come sit out on the infield in front of the Angels dugout and enjoy the show with the fans. It sounds silly, but it was cute to catch a glimpse of our tough players just being "dad". I think it would have been disrespectful to take photos of that, especially for a blog. However, Seth took some great shots of the fireworks show itself and this was the best one:

Women have heard for many years that one of the best ways to find breast cancer early is for them to check their own breasts once a month.
One health insurance group also says that women who are taught how to perform the procedure were 10 times more likely to do it correctly.
In the Kaiser Permanente study, they were given a coaching session and two follow-up calls.
"Many women avoid breast self-exams because they are worried about doing them correctly; however, our study showed that with a relatively simple intervention, women can learn the proper technique, and once they feel confident they will continue to do their exams," said lead author Nangel Lindberg.
Before the counseling, about 6 percent of women were performing adequate self-exams, researchers found. One year later, 59 percent of those who got guidance were performing adequate self-exams.
In a similar group of women who just read some materials, only 12 percent were doing it right.
Komen For The Cure says on its Web site that women should especially look for lumps or thickenings, swelling, changes in the size or shape of the breast and dimpling or puckering on the skin.
The site also provides step-by-step insturctions for performing a proper self-examination.

7 air tankers on way, feds say
7 air tankers on way, feds say
22 March 2013
published by www.durangoherald.com
USA — The U.S. Forest Service will award contracts for seven new fire-fighting air tankers soon to update the aging fleet, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said in a letter Friday to Sen. Mark Udall.
Vilsack was responding to a letter from Udall, D-Colo., sent nearly two months ago. Udall had requested an update from the Cabinet secretary the current fleet and the Forest Services attempts to acquire seven next generation large air tankers from private contractors, the Herald previously reported.
Large air tankers drop fire retardant that decreases the intensity and rate of spread, so firefighters on the ground can construct containment lines, said the Forest Service.
The modernization of the fleet which is more than 50 years old is hugely important, Forest Service spokesman Mike Ferris said.
Were talking about the future of supporting wildland fire-fighting, Ferris said.
We recognize and we have recognized that its critical that we continue to work toward that replacement, he said.
The next generation large air tankers were supposed to be brought into service in 2012 and 2013, but the U.S. Forest Service had to re-start the contract process after hang-ups last year.
The resubmitted proposals were due in early November, and contracts will be awarded soon, Vilsack said.
There is still a chance of problems in the process, Vilsack wrote, but he said the Forest Service has worked to reduce the risk of any more delays.
Wildfire is a serious and ongoing threat to communities across Colorado, Udall spokesman Mike Saccone said in an email. Sen. Udall is glad to hear that Secretary Vilsack is committed to preventing red tape and contracting disputes from slowing the acquisition of next-generation air tankers.
Udall, Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., and U.S. Rep. Scott Tipton, R-Cortez, have all lobbied Congress to help prevent and fight wildfires.

The Women's Nike Free Bionic Training Shoes are for those who prefer a more bare-foot feel as they train their bodies, improve in their sport, and enhance their flexibility, whether they do so outdoors or indoors.
The incorporated Free technology means less total construction of the shoe with internal zonal training specific support only in the necessary areas, but with the Bionic Training Shoes, less is more because feet can actually gain natural strength. Nike admits that it'll take some getting use to, but nothing could be better for your feet.
The midsole is made of a lightweight, durable, and cushiony foam, but again, not too much. As these shoes support a natural feel, they offer just enough to absorb shock, but not so much as to overwhelm feet. Give the Bionic a try, and you won't be disappointed.

Director PPD American Portfolios
|Each Print Study Group is comprised of 6 to 10 participants who enjoy sharing their prints with other printers, want to improve the quality of their prints, and are interested in an objective evaluation of their prints. Print Study Groups are known as "portfolios" because each group mails a package (or portfolio) of prints from member to member for review. American Portfolios is comprised of approximately 20 different Print Study Groups. To participate please contact the Director of American Portfolios and describe your interests such as color or monochrome and darkroom or computer processed prints.
OPEN: Open to any kind or type of print: any subject matter - no restrictions - anything goes.
RESTRICTED: Most portfolios are of the restricted type designed to meet the specific interests of the photographers making up the group. For example some portfolios accept only color prints and others only monochrome. Some are for self-made and others are for commercially made prints.
SELF-MADE: Prints created in a darkroom or with a computer by the photographer.
COMMERCIALLY-MADE: Prints created by another person either in a commercial darkroom or by computer.
DARKROOM PRINTED (P): The print is created by chemical means using a darkroom and light sensitive materials.
COMPUTER PRINTED (CMP): The original image would be exposed on light-sensitive material (film or electronic), and printed with an ink jet or similar printer.
MONOCHROME OR COLOR: Restricted to either monochrome or color; some groups accept both.
PRINT SIZE: Maximum size restrictions may be 8x10, 8x12, 8 1/2 x 11, or 11x14.
REGIONAL PORTFOLIOS: These portfolios are for members residing in a particular geographic area and are open to any format. There are two regional portfolios: Greater Northeast Regional (GNER) and Greater Northwest Regional (GNWR).
ASSIGNED SUBJECT (ASG): The subjects are selected in advance and the members submit images that fit the assignment.
NATURE (Nat): The subject matter is limited to nature subjects (e.g., landscapes, seascapes, wildlife, plant life). The American Portfolio Nature prints do not conform to the PSA Nature definition (e.g., cloning is accepted, hand of man is not considered).
Most portfolios have assigned Commentators who are experienced photographers and printmakers. They evaluate each member's work, make constructive comments for improvement, and issue awards for particularly fine prints.
If there is no Model Release available, the image may win but cannot be published. For those who do not have a Model Release, Sample Model Release Form - doc - interactive pdf - both of these forms can be filled out and saved on a mobile or desktop device.
There is no fee for this activity. PSA Membership is required.

It's easy to forget that 2008 was a breakout year for many managed futures strategies. That was the case not because returns for the space were not only positive but also were altogether non-correlated in a historically volatile market. It's easy to forget because the same strategies that were so loved after 2008's performance are now being questioned after their dismal performance across the past two years. That so many investors—many of whom were drawn to the asset class not that long ago—are disappointed today brings to light the misconceptions that continue to surround the managed futures strategy.
It's true that since the beginning of 2011, managed futures have not only lagged global equities and fixed income in a material way, but the category has underperformed hedge funds as well (see chart below).
So why shouldn't investors be upset? They shouldn't because managed futures—unlike equities that tend to follow earnings growth and valuation expansion or fixed income that tracks interest rates—typically employ trend-following strategies that attempt to benefit from either long- or short-term momentum movements across or within global asset classes.
Some strategies have exposure to only one asset class or trend type (which warrants significant due diligence before investing) but in many cases, managed futures managers are trying to buy and sell futures based on a directional trend in multiple asset classes.
Since there have been no major trends across asset classes over the last two years (see chart 2 at left), it should come as no surprise that trend-following strategies, i.e., managed futures, have not performed well.
The fact is that we've had choppy and trendless markets since the beginning of 2011.
A Short-Term Trend Is Not a Friend, but a Long-Term Trend…
The question that really matters, then, is whether exposure to managed futures is warranted in the current market environment.
We know that relying on previous performance is often dangerous when trying to compound capital; just ask anyone who invested in managed futures two years ago. But the category's relative short-term underperformance should not be surprising given its historical results.
Over the last 15 years, managed futures have underperformed global equities on a two-year rolling basis seven times, and by a noticeable amount: 10.6% on average (see chart 3). Yet the category has outperformed global equities by 2.0% over all the rolling time periods for the same 15 years.
In other words, the main tenets for investing in managed futures strategies have not changed. It's true that managed futures strategies need consistent trends before they can produce strong performance, and we know that in the short run markets will not always be trending. But the long-term profitability potential of managed futures not only opens the possibility of creating excess returns in an investor's overall portfolio, it may reduce the volatility of those returns as well.
A Great Diversifier
It could be said that in this era of fiscal cliffs, debt ceilings, quantitative easings, and potential sovereign debt defaults, diversification – for retail and institutional investors alike – is more important than ever.
Managed futures are by no means a complete solution to these issues, but they should warrant heavy consideration in the ongoing task of moving an investment portfolio up and to the left on the efficient frontier.
In addition to the excess returns indicated by chart 3 above, managed futures allow investors to diversify their portfolios, both by virtue of the different markets futures fund managers have at their disposal, as well as the historical independence of managed futures relative to other asset classes. In the U.S. alone, managers can trade everything from stock indexes, currencies, and Treasuries to precious metals, energy, and grains.
More than that, managed futures strategies have the opportunity to branch into global markets, increasing their diversity even more. All of this flexibility means the category may be able to generate positive returns at times when the stock and bond markets are not. Chart 4 shows a snapshot of the low managed futures correlations to four asset classes over multiple time periods.
Worth the Effort
When dealing with managed futures, it's probably fair to say that investor education is crucial, even more so perhaps than most asset classes.
Before making the asset allocation decision, investors need to decide what type of trend-following strategy fits within their portfolio and then begin the important job of performing due diligence on the manager.
Whether the strategy is offered in a limited partnership, mutual fund or ETF structure, the drivers of return for managed futures are common beta exposures that are ever changing, so the task can be a bit onerous.
While there is some debate about whether managed futures warrant investor capital due to their recent performance, there isn't much doubt that trends exist in global markets.
We suggest investors should focus on longer-term results and the potential diversification benefits that the asset class can provide. The bottom line: managed futures offer several potential advantages for investors looking to expand and improve their overall portfolios.

Watch what clients do, not what they say. It seems affluent investors once again like equities for income, but are holding fast to their fixed asset allocations.
A new survey of affluent U.S. investors by Legg Mason finds almost three-quarters (74%) said "now is a good time to be invested in equities" with 52% adding that they are more inclined to use equities to generate investment income.
Combining this optimism with the fact that fully 66% reported that income investing was a "top priority," 40% of respondents reported they were invested in equity income mutual funds, and only 25% of those who use income-generating investments said they planned to increase their allocation to equity income funds over the next 12 months.
Just 9% said they intend to decrease their equity exposure over the next 12 months, and even less (5%) plan to reduce their fixed-income positions. Interestingly, 60% also believed it was a good time to be invested in real estate for income, and 15% intended to increase their allocation to this asset class.
But the survey also notes that although they place an increasingly higher priority on income investing, almost half (48%) said they were generating less income than they had hoped from their portfolios.
The survey opines that this might be less a function of the market and more a result of their expectations; on average, U.S. investors who use income-generating products said that their desired return was 8.5% and that they were receiving on average 5.9%.
"Income-oriented investors need to consider strategies that are focused on outcomes," Matthew Schiffman, managing director and head of global marketing at Legg Mason Global Asset Management, said in a statement. "Start by establishing a realistic rate of return based on long-term goals or the need to satisfy liabilities with income. Our survey is telling us that income-oriented investors in the U.S. are coming up well short of their goals–almost 3% short–and that number could be significant, especially for retired investors who need to live on the income their portfolios generate."
The most significant challenge investors said they faced to income investing was "having to accept risk to obtain good yields"—ranked as the leading challenge among 16 challenges evaluated.
Investors also cited a number of specific factors that gave them anxiety when it came to meeting their income-producing needs. More specifically they cited market volatility (59%) and higher taxes (56%) as the leading producers of anxiety, followed by inflation (55%) and the low-interest-rate environment (52%).
Yet in spite of their trepidation, more than half (51%) said they were willing to take on more risk to achieve greater investment income.
U.S. investors said they had just 11% on average of their income-producing assets invested internationally. As measured against investors from 12 other countries surveyed by Legg Mason, the U.S. investor has the smallest amount invested internationally.
Legg Mason, through Northstar Research Partners, surveyed 500 U.S. investors with at least $200,000 in investable assets.

Once a glowing beacon of heavy industry, this blast furnace ensemble is now a powerhouse of creativity, its landscaped park is a pioneering attraction for the new millennium.
This gigantic cathedral of industry from the early 20th century has its own special charm, and even takes on a romantic aspect at night when bathed in the glow of the light show designed by artist Jonathan Park. A true sight to behold, the blasting hall contains four turbo blowers, formidable relics of a bygone technological age. This hall has been converted into a 700-seat theatre and is now the venue for the Ruhr-Triennale festival. The most impressive structure is the central power plant which is 170 metres long, 34 metres wide and 20 metres high. In 2002, all the former industrial halls were converted into multifunctional performance venues which are hired out for events. From inside blast furnace number 5 you can peer into the gigantic casting hall, and outside it is possible to climb right to the top of the 70m high steel structure and enjoy superb panoramic views. The gasometer has been transformed into a unique diving centre for all abilities, while one of the halls now contains an open-air cinema. The German Mountaineering Association has founded a climbing centre on the site, and there are lots of places to play against the backdrop of the blast furnace, halls and labyrinth of pipes. On the high ropes course, trained instructors offer an enthralling and sometimes surreal three-hour group tour that follows a 'trail' along structures of iron and steel, past flickering lights and above precipitous drops. Public funds have been used to transform an important monument of industrial heritage into a 24-hour multifunction park for all ages, which ranks alongside Cologne Cathedral as one of the most important attractions in the region of North Rhine-Westphalia. Nearby attractions: The Route of Industrial Heritage is a 400km circular route that links various places of interest from 150 years of industrial history in the Ruhr region. The highlights are the 19 anchor points along the route, Grugapark Essen, covering 70 hectares, was established for the Great Ruhrland Garden Show in 1929 and is undoubtedly one of Europe's loveliest recreational parks.
