Alternative pool blends strategies to counter market volatility
iA Clarington Investments Inc. has introduced a new liquid alternative fund designed to help investors navigate unpredictable market conditions and reduce portfolio risk.
Managed by iA Global Asset Management, the IA Clarington Multi-Strategy Alternative Pool provides access to six distinct investment strategies. These include market-neutral equity, long/short credit, global macro approaches, and private asset classes such as equity, credit, infrastructure, and real estate.
According to Kos Lazaridis, senior vice president, chief product officer and head of strategy at iA Clarington, this diversified mix of strategies is tailored to complement traditional portfolios by providing additional layers of downside protection and reducing exposure to market fluctuations.
“Equity and fixed income markets have experienced significant volatility in recent years, and the path ahead continues to be marked by a high degree of uncertainty. This fund is designed to offer the potential for consistent total returns irrespective of market conditions and to lower the volatility of a traditional portfolio,” Lazaridis said.
The IA Clarington Multi-Strategy Alternative Pool also emphasizes liquidity and accessibility, making it a practical choice for those seeking to diversify their investments without sacrificing the flexibility of a mutual fund.
Investors interested in exploring the fund’s potential benefits can consult their financial advisors or visit iA Clarington’s website for more information.
