Given historical data, the correct answer to this question is Managed Futures (Trend) and it's not even close.

The fact that only ~27% of people gave that answer means some combination of:
1. Most people don't understand what "risk-adjusted returns" means or how to construct a portfolio.
2. Most people don't know this historical correlation of managed futures/trend to stocks and bonds.

3. Most people have some fundamental reason to believe that managed futures correlations will change dramatically in the future.
I would guess almost everyone is in camps (1) and (2).

Replying to
It's effectively used as a synonym for multi-market trend following.
A super basic example would be something that goes long a particular commodity, stock, or bond market when it crossed above its 200 day MA and goes short when it does the opposite.

It's called manage futures because it's almost always done in futures markets rather than equity markets since you want the commodity exposure.
