Minneapolis, MN (July 11, 2024) – LoCorr Funds, a leader in low-correlating alternative investments, today announced the LoCorr Market Trend Fund (LOTIX) reached its 10-year anniversary on June 30, 2024.

The LoCorr Market Trend Fund is ranked 4 out of 45 funds in the Morningstar Systematic Trend Category for the 10-year period as of June 30, 2024, based on total returns, and holds a 4-star Overall Morningstar Rating. (The LoCorr Long/Short Commodities Strategy Fund, LCSIX, LCSAX and LCSCX hold the top three positions in the Category for the 10-year period ending June 30, 2024.) The Market Trend Fund features a global macro-oriented strategy that seeks to provide low correlation to nearly all asset classes, offering strong diversification benefits and positive absolute returns while mitigating downside risk.

“We are thrilled to celebrate the 10th anniversary of LoCorr Market Trend Fund, which is a significant milestone, and to see it recognized as a 4-star fund by Morningstar during this time period,” said Kevin Kinzie, CEO of LoCorr Funds. “We launched the Market Trend Fund a decade ago based on the belief that low-correlating strategies with daily liquidity belong in every client portfolio. That conviction still rings true today and we are excited to offer the top four funds in the Morningstar Systematic Trend Category.”

“In addition, we are proud to have launched the Market Trend Fund with Graham Capital Management (Graham) as the sub-advisor offering advisors and their clients access to an esteemed institutional manager through a ‘40 Act fund. We are grateful for Graham’s continuing commitment to a strategy that provides diversification through its distinct return stream and seeks to help create a smoother ride for clients.”

“We are honored to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the LoCorr Market Trend Fund and our long-standing partnership with LoCorr,” said Brian Douglas, Chief Executive Officer of Graham Capital Management. “This milestone is a testament to our shared commitment to delivering exceptional value to clients. Over the past decade, the Fund has provided valuable diversification to investors, particularly in recent years which have been marked by significant turbulence for both stocks and bonds. We look forward to continuing our collaboration and supporting the Fund’s success in the years to come.”

With a sequence of returns typically different from traditional stock and bond investments, LoCorr Market Trend Fund was launched in response to advisor demand for diversifying strategies that seek portfolio stability and growth in an ever-changing investment landscape. Since its inception on June 30, 2014, the Fund has a 0.05 correlation with the S&P 500 Index and a -0.24 correlation with the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.
