Absolute Performance
Faced with the chronic uncertainties besetting the stock markets, which are slightly spoiling investors’ appetite for the traditional asset classes, investors are seeking more stable returns less vulnerable to market fluctuations. To address this need, more and more of them are diversifying their portfolio, complementing it with absolute performance management assets.
Products with multiple benefits
Absolute performance strategies seek to deliver positive performance regardless of market conditions rather than outperformance versus a benchmark.
An add-on to traditional assets (equities, bonds) in a diversified portfolio, such strategies tend to balance the portfolio with expected returns independently of market trends.
