Carefully selected funds,
Dynamically Managed
The goal of our Alternative Strategies is to generate the highest return for the target level of risk associated with that strategy.
- No asset class constraints other than those needed to stay within risk targets
- May be broadly diversified or more highly concentrated
- Asset allocations adjusted to focus on new or better opportunities
- “Benchmark-free” process: not managed to track benchmarks
Strategy Highlights
Actively managed to focus on asset classes that we expect to have the best future risk-to-return characteristics. These strategies are managed without asset class constraints so their asset allocations may shift from broadly diversified to more highly concentrated.
We seek to achieve our objective through:
- Dynamic asset allocation
- Top-quality mutual fund selection
- Skillful combination of funds
- Ongoing strategy management
