We took a pioneering role in the establishment of alternative (hedge fund) investments as a valuable component of a balanced portfolio, and as a result can pass on the benefits of our extensive experience.

Alternative investments effectively adopt a mirror image approach to the management of traditional investments, and, because of this deliberate lack of correlation, they can reduce the elements risk and volatility to any portfolio, while maintaining a capacity to perform.

Our alternative investment department is optimally sized to achieve the critical mass of a leading hedge fund player, while retaining the flexibility and speed to take a dynamic approach to portfolio reallocation. We combine the detailed understanding of a broad range of sophisticated strategies with an established, extensive network of industry contacts enabling us to gain access to superior managers who are now often closed to new investors.

We offer a wide range of products that continue to demonstrate consistent returns, due both to our proprietary information systems and to our track record in picking outstanding managers.

In selecting alternative investments for your portfolio we are governed by strict criteria for quantitative and qualitative due diligence. This process is now so well suited to its purpose that we are able to identify appropriate products with sufficiently competitive speed, enabling us to take advantage of the full growth potential of the funds we recommend, while keeping our risk exposure to a predefined minimum.
