Alternative Investment Team
Our Alternative Investment portfolios are designed and managed to realise absolute positive returns over a period of years, irrespective of the returns offered by the equity and fixed income markets. Our portfolios are diversified across a number of alternative strategies that, when combined, add positive risk-adjusted returns for investors.
Because the investments are not strongly correlated with securities markets, our offerings can be used to reduce overall portfolio volatility when combined with traditional equity and fixed investments.
Institutional investors can participate in our investment activities in two ways:
Our focus on pure alpha, in other words uncorrelated, market neutral returns, is implemented in two portfolios investing in well-established, stable, alpha producing funds. The two portfolios, AA-rated by S&P, have slightly different risk and return characteristics - however both operate on a truly global basis in terms of client acquisition and sourcing of investment ideas.
We have been seeding and incubating hedge funds since 2003 and today are a leading hedge fund seeder globally. Through our seeding funds, we offer instutitional investors access to exceptional hedge fund seeding opportunities.
In addition, we provide alpha advisory services including tailor-made portfolio advice based on risk-premium analysis to find optimal added value to a portfolio.
Our clients include public and corporate pension funds, insurance companies, asset managers and family offices.
