FYI: After a complacent 2017, liquid alternative funds have had a chance to show their mettle or lack thereof. From Jan. 26 through Feb. 8, the Dow Jones Industrial Index fell 10% and the S&P 500 fell just over 9%. It's a short period, but it's the type of painful decline that liquid alts are designed to help alleviate. While the correction may continue, it's a good time to check in on how liquid alternatives and our Morningstar Medalists--funds that we recommend after a thorough due-diligence process--have done during the sell-off.
