Liquid alternatives – reliable diversification
A practical look at how liquid alternative strategies may complement traditional equity and bond allocations.
Beyond the traditional mix
When equities and bonds move together, portfolios need additional sources of return. Liquid alternatives can provide differentiated exposure while retaining regular dealing and transparent reporting.
Selection matters
Strategies vary considerably in complexity, liquidity and risk. A disciplined review of the manager, mandate and underlying instruments is more important than a broad category label.
A measured allocation
Alternatives should support a clear portfolio objective. Position sizing, costs and stress behaviour should be considered alongside expected returns.
