Liquid alternative strategies aim to provide consistent returns across market cycles by tapping into differentiated return drivers. By seeking sources of return that are less correlated—or even negatively correlated—with traditional markets, these strategies can enhance portfolio diversification and potentially improve risk-adjusted outcomes.
Risk: Diversification and asset allocation may not fully protect you from market risk.
Liquid alternative strategies are designed to help cushion portfolios during market downturns. By maintaining a low beta to equities, these strategies can offer meaningful diversification when traditional markets decline—providing critical downside protection precisely when it’s needed most.
Risk: Risk management cannot fully eliminate the risk of investment loss.
Incorporating a diverse mix of liquid alternative strategies can help create a more resilient portfolio.
Raffaele Savi: Something very interesting is happening to investment management.
In the last 40 years, the largest managers have systematically, substantially outperformed smaller managers. And I think that the two reasons why that that's been true, one is the role of technology. So as investment processes are becoming more and more efficient at absorbing information and leveraging information and building systems that can scale and multiply the value of those insights, whether it's generative AI where these models are getting larger and larger, or whether it's technology firms where in the last 10 years, there's been the emergence of the trillion dollar market cap firm. The ability to do this at scale is an important advantage.
