Investing in hedge funds
Our holistic approach to constructing a hedge fund solution integrates rigorous manager research; extensive operations and market risk analytics; as well as active and disciplined portfolio management. Our goal is to exceed your expectations.
Why invest in hedge funds?
One of the main benefits of hedge fund investments are to provide diversification at the total portfolio level. The return potential is another attractive characteristic. Studies show that adding uncorrelated assets to a portfolio reduces total portfolio risk and therefore may improve the risk adjusted return of traditional portfolios.
We recognize the money we manage represents the hard work and savings of real people like you. Or, if you represent a non-profit organization, the money needs to be there in the long run to fulfill important missions. We understand what's at stake. That's why we work to deliver real, lasting value. And that's why we're committed to our purpose: improving financial security for people.

Please remember that all investments carry some level of risk, including the potential loss of principal invested. They do not typically grow at an even rate of return and may experience negative growth. As with any type of portfolio structuring, attempting to reduce risk and increase return could, at certain times, unintentionally reduce returns.
In general, alternative investments involve a high degree of risk, including potential loss of principal; can be highly illiquid and can charge higher fees than other investments. Hedge strategies and private equity investments are not subject to the same regulator requirements as registered investment products. Hedge strategies often engage in leveraging and other speculative investment practices that may increase the risk of investment loss.
