A robust and independent alternative investing platform
Designed to address the challenges that the private wealth segment of advisors, brokers, private banks, single family offices and similar institutions, face when investing in Alternative and Private Markets.
We offer:
a) Deep understanding of the different asset classes, strategy types and the types of risk, return and correlations that can be expected.
b) The capability to achieve optimal diversification among and within the various alternative asset classes, strategy types and managers, high quality portfolio construction and tactical cycle-driven positioning to maximize risk-return asymmetries and benefits of low or un-correlation.
c) Embedded management the many on-going funding, operational, monitoring, accounting, tax and reporting complexities of investing in alternatives while reducing their implied costs.
When investing in alternatives, selecting top managers is key, but proper diversification is indispensable
The evidence of historical fund return dispersion in private markets and the possibility of managers underperforming their own historical track-records are facts that demand good alternative portfolio diversification: Proper manager diversification lowers the likelihood of ending up with mediocre returns while increasing that of achieving top-level comparable asset-class returns and capturing the decorrelation benefits that are being pursued.
