Finding Alpha in Hedged Strategies – Absolute Advisers – 11.30.16

Summary:

Now On Demand.

Are your alternative investments doing what you want them to do? The overwhelming majority of advisors cite diversification and risk mitigation as their primary goals for using alternative investments. However, as volatility rises, very few alternative mutual funds meet this objective and even fewer generate the alpha investors expect from actively managed, flexible investments.

Join us for a brief 15 minute discussion examining:

• The importance of low beta and high alpha for diversification and returns.
• A quick look under the hood of alternative strategies to help explain (recent) headwinds and disappointments.
• Analyzing your portfolio and the environment to determine which alternative funds align with your objectives.
