Tough market environments have rendered the traditional investment model obsolete. In our view, the core of an investment portfolio must consist of alternative investments in order to achieve a successful and sustainable risk-adjusted return profile through market cycles.

Alternative investments are essentially investments that offer investors the opportunity to invest in areas and in ways traditional investments cannot, providing the potential for improvement of overall risk-return characteristics of a portfolio.

Their inclusion in a balanced portfolio has proven ample merits over the past decades. Experience from market corrections and related asset destruction shows that carefully constructed portfolios of alternative investments weather storms better than traditional portfolios.
