Alternatives

Proven capability across alternatives, offering differentiated sources of return and diversification to strengthen client portfolios.

We offer a variety of non-traditional investment solutions, including multi-manager strategies and real-asset investments.

This broad range of investment strategies can improve clients' portfolios by offering the potential for stronger absolute returns and lower levels of volatility, thanks to greater diversification.

Our Approach

We believe that alternative investments should form a key part of a client's portfolio, complementing its existing components while adding value – whether that's by investment management skill or asset exposure. With this belief in mind, we offer a range of solutions to our clients.

We also believe in an active multi-manager approach for an alternatives allocation, recognising the importance of diversification in terms of both manager and style. Furthermore, our approach includes an ongoing review and assessment of the overall blend of approaches.

Our range of alternative strategies presents our clients with options that are appropriate for a diverse spectrum of investment goals, preferences and objectives. We seek to manage asset class correlations to enhance risk-adjusted returns and reduce the volatility of the investment portfolios of which they are a part.

Our approach is based on identifying alternative investment opportunities, developing products and services to meet client needs, and partnering with established and proven alternative firms. These elements are combined to achieve the outcomes that our clients demand.

Why choose Keyridge?

As well as delivering a proven track record of performance, we differentiate our alternative capabilities in the following ways.

Controlling costs: To ensure the best terms for our clients, we use our global buying power and scale to access preferential pricing and collaborate with external managers not easily accessible by individual investors. This lets us gain access to those funds and products that best suit our client requirements and at a lower cost than otherwise available.

Risk management excellence: Leveraging work we have done as a firm to analyse traditional, non-traditional and enterprise risks, we have the ability to holistically manage risk types typically associated with alternative investments. Such risks include investment, liquidity, operational and organisational factors. We dedicate substantial resources to ensure our risk management professionals, platforms and processes are among the best in the industry. Our independent risk and quantitative teams work alongside our alternatives team to monitor and manage risk.

Diversify portfolios and enhance returns: With low correlations to traditional asset classes, alternatives can be a beneficial way to diversify your portfolio, improving the risk and return profile of a portfolio.
