The Alternative Investment Strategy of our partner Alpinum Investment Management AG is currently working exceptionally well in this environment, as its absolute return philosophy and draw down risk management is in full effect.
The Alpinum Alternative Investment Strategy is up YTD +3.2%, thanks to selective allocations in differentiating, defensive and low correlation strategies, such as global macro, long short or arbitrage exposures. Thus, the strategy has lived up to its mandate of providing diversification in troubled times without being sidelined in positive markets, which makes it an ideal building block for a portfolio.
