The firm was founded in 1974 by Dr. William A. Dunn, a pioneer in the managed futures industry. Today, based on Dr. Dunn's original revolutionary efforts to apply computer technology to portfolio management, DUNN is the managed futures industry's second-oldest firm and is managing over $1 billion in its strictly quantitative, 100% systematic, computer-based portfolios.
In addition to organising, selling and managing over a dozen private futures funds, DUNN has traded for numerous other public and private funds and private accounts. Over the past 45 years, the firm's composite track record has achieved a net compounded annual rate of return of over 15% for DUNN's investors. No other futures manager has achieved such a high composite rate of return over such an extended period of time.
