DAILYALTS: Market Beating Performance Helped This Market Neutral Fund Grow Assets
FYI: Low correlation to traditional asset classes has always been one of the appealing features of alternative investments, but with the S&P 500 Index posting double-digit successive gains of 15.9%, 32.2%, and 13.6% from 2012 through 2014, low correlation hurt more alternatives than it helped. Even in 2015, a year marked by out-sized volatility, the S&P managed to eke out a modest gain of 1.36%, while most alternative categories posted losses in the aggregate.
