The strategy seeks to provide investors with a diversified portfolio of alternative assets such as hedge fund strategies, private equity and commodities, with the overall fund having low or modest correlation to movements in equity and bond markets. Within the current environment the team are most bullish on hedge funds, renewable energy funds and property. On hedge funds, the team see the higher volatility environment we’re in to be creating opportunities for unconstrained managers, with the fund having a bias towards uncorrelated and ‘long vol’ profiled strategies. They see the renewable energy attractive due to the government-guaranteed, inflation-linked revenue component, whilst the current conflict in Ukraine will further accelerate the growth of this space. Whilst within the property sector the team are targeting funds with clearly defined reasons for sustained demand and stable cash flows.
