Investment Solutions (SIS) has launched the Schroder
Alternatives Fund, a multi-asset fund which aims to provide
investors within the model portfolios access to a diverse range
of alternative investment strategies.
The fund offers the potential for differentiated returns,
portfolio diversification, and reduced risk; it also aims to give
investors access to alternative assets on retail investment
platforms, the firm said in a statement.
One of the benefits of the fund is that it allows investors to
access alternative investments that are not directly available on
UK retail platforms, the firm continued. It also offers an
opportunity for a range of investors to benefit from the
potential returns and diversification benefits that alternative
investments can provide – traditionally more difficult to
access on platforms.
The fund will offer investors exposure to a carefully selected
range of alternative investment strategies, including private
equity, hedge funds, commodities, real assets and specialised
property. The fund will be managed by the SIS team which has been
managing the alternatives component of the SIS Model Portfolio
Service (MPS) for several years, the firm added. It is
exclusively available to clients invested in SIS” MPS range. This
exclusivity ensures that only SIS clients have access to this
investment opportunity, the firm said.
The fund also aims to provide returns that are not correlated to
traditional markets, offering investors diversification benefits
in a world of increased volatility. By incorporating the best
ideas of diversified alternative investments across the market,
the fund aims to provide exposure to a range of non-traditional
asset classes.
Schroders is a global investment management firm with $923.1
billion of assets under management.
