We have recently collaborated with Marex Capital Introductions and Advisory, and we are pleased to provide you with our Contemporary Evaluation of Key Alternative Investments, attached below. Together with Dan Rizzuto, Head of Capital Introductions and Advisory we have considered CTAs, Risk Premia, and Hedge Funds in light of the unprecedented equity markets and an increasingly uncertain geopolitical environment. In the report, we observe:
- An increasing scarcity of diversifying investments relative to equity Beta
- Changes to Risk Premia as the sector has matured
- Negative skew across long-only and alternative strategies
- CTA performance continues to contribute returns and diversification
- Strategy due diligence remains critical, in spite of, and because of, a persistent bullish equity environment
Inflation, central bank policy, technology, geopolitics all seem to be approaching greater levels of change or uncertainty. Historically, these have been environments where active management enjoyed disproportionate amounts of the resultant performance opportunities. We encourage you to review our findings and reach out with any questions and feedback. We look forward to hearing from you.
