Alternative Investment

"Marketable alternatives offers a traditional portfolio of market instruments the benefit of risk diversification and expands the investment opportunity set, including the delivery of absolute returns. Our objective is to identify, through a blend of qualitative and quantitative analysis, excellent managers operating in this space. AIU's aim is to construct portfolios with such managers that reflect appropriately the expected return and volatility parameters that have been set for the Unit."
- Mr Anthony Lim, Director, Alternative Investment
