Focus on Alternatives
Here is what investing in alternatives could mean for you:
Reduced volatility
Alternative investments can reduce the overall risk of a portfolio due to lower sensitivity to market movements.
Increased diversification
Diversification is important when building a resilient portfolio. Alternative investments can play a role in enhancing diversification due to their low correlations with traditional investments.
Different sources of returnOur diverse alternative investment capability range can provide access to different sources of return.

Key Risks
Risk Considerations: There is no assurance that a portfolio will achieve its investment objective or will work under all market conditions. The value of investments may go down as well as up and you may not get back the amount originally invested. Portfolios may be subject to certain additional risks, which should be considered carefully along with their investment objectives and fees.
Illiquidity: An investment in alternatives is a long term illiquid investment. By their nature, the alternatives’ investments will not generally be exchange traded. These investments will be illiquid.
Long term horizon: Investors should expect to be locked-in for the full term of the investment
Economic conditions: The economic cycle and prevailing interest rates will impact the attractiveness of the underlying investments. Economic activity and sentiment also impacts the performance of underlying companies, and will have a direct bearing on the ability of companies to keep up with interest and principal repayments.
Valuation: These investments may have no or a limited liquid market, and other investments including those in respect of loans and securities of private companies, may be based on estimates which cannot be marked to market until sale. The valuation of the underlying investments is therefore inherently opaque.
Strategy Risk: Investments into alternatives may, among other risks, be negatively affected by adverse regulatory developments or reform, credit risk and counterparty risk. The credit market bears idiosyncratic risks such as borrower fraud, borrower bankruptcy, prepayment risk, security enforceability risk, subordination risk and lender liability risk.
Investor’s Capital At Risk: Investors may lose the entirety of invested capital.
Sustainability: means an environmental, social or governance event or condition that, if it occurs, could cause an actual or a potential material negative impact on the value of the investment.
