Liquid alternatives largely performed in-line with their private placement or hedge fund counterparts in 2015, according to Goldman Sachs Asset Management’s 2015 Liquid Alternative MAPS Report. Following the extraordinary market turbulence during the second half of last year, the wisdom of taking relatively complicated and/or potentially illiquid alternative investment strategies and placing them within publicly traded wrapper has been increasingly questioned. However, according to Goldman’s research, while absolute performance was underwhelming and return dispersion wide, the company’s five liquid alternative investment (LAI) peer groups - equity long/short, event driven, relative value, tactical trading/macro, and multistrategy - performed well relative to...

How Macromoney has beaten August volatility
2015-10-05T08:48:20.761742-04:00https://www.thetrustedinsight.com/investment-news/how-macromoney-has-beaten-august-volatility-20151005967/
You returned 15.13% in August 2015 alone when there was a correction in most markets. How did you do that?
August returns were the results of both our long term macroeconomic model and our short term model tracking volatility. Whilst the earlier gave us the signal to come out of equities at the beginning of April due to the slowing macroeconomic data; the latter gave us the signal in July of a potential upcoming and significant spike in volatility. In response to these signals we opened positions in ‘out of the money’ put options on S&P500. The initial total position in options in July was only 1,5% of NAV but it has generated a 15% net return in August.
