So-called managed futures funds — which trade the futures contracts of stocks, bonds, currencies and commodities — gained an average of 15.2 percent last year, according to Societe Generale unit Newedge. This probably isn't obvious to people outside of the trading world, but Newedge is a massive futures broker. This article is basically a puff piece quoting a big futures broker telling you how great it is to trade futures. I wouldn't read too much more into it than that.
