An investment in alternative assets is an investment in the real economy – the assets are real, the jockeys are real and the numbers are real.
Slow Economic Growth. The unemployment rate, corruption and COVID are major contributing factors in low GDP Growth. Low corporate investment triggered by policy uncertainty, results in less job creation and a slow economy.
Alternative assets are not correlated to market volatility due to the lack of market sentiment. Alternative asset performance is based on company performance and not market sentiment due to supply and demand.
Due to the diversification of the alternative asset classes the standard deviation is reduced, resulting in lower volatility of the portfolio.

To offset the costs of the investment, a hurdle rate is set. This means that if the product provider does not reach the set hurdle rate, no costs may be deducted from the investors' investment.
The Hurdle Rate is the yield allocated to the client. Any costs, admin fees, performance fees, and broker fees are paid from the yield received above the hurdle rate.
This ensures that the client is set as first priority and the fund performance needs to be driven by the investment managers to be able to offset any costs incurred on the investment.
As with the true nature of Private Equity, we invest our client's funds following our mandate.
