Multi Strategy

This market-neutral, alternative strategy invests across a diversified set of bottom-up strategies combined with a top-down "protection" strategy.

Overview

ABOUT THIS STRATEGY

The team believes that investor constraints, behavioral biases, structural inefficiencies and capital flows lead to persistent investment opportunities. They seek to capitalize on these opportunities by investing globally across a diversified set of skill-based, market-neutral strategies.

A bottom-up, risk-aware approach to capital allocation aims to target the most attractive investment opportunities in any given environment, while top-down risk controls anchored on a protection strategy seek to manage total portfolio risk.

The result is a strategy designed to deliver positive absolute returns regardless of market conditions, at moderate levels of volatility with low correlation to both traditional and alternative asset classes.

The value of an investment and the income from it can fall as well as rise as a result of market and currency fluctuations and you may not get back the amount originally invested. Past performance does not predict future returns.

Please be aware that while the Protection strategy aims to reduce downside risk, it does not commit to provide capital protection over any time period, and particularly over the shorter term the strategy may demonstrate periods of negative returns. Consequently capital is at risk.
