Financial markets have been proven to be largely unpredictable over time. In order to protect your investments from the ups and downs of financial markets, multi-manager solutions can offer downside protection through diversification.

Predicting future market behaviour is extremely challenging. Multi-Manager solutions can provide embedded insurance against unexpected market dislocations.

In selecting the best external investment managers in a given strategy, our solutions are able to be more agile in order to do both: generate performance and protect capital.

We believe that a disciplined approach to manager selection and asset allocation can generate attractive risk-adjusted returns over time. Investors who seek a multi-manager portfolio often seek downside protection and less volatility in performance results. At Crescendo, we meet the needs of our investors by listening to their performance objectives and risk tolerance in order to offer and construct a solution that is a best-fit.

Diversification is undoubtedly a material benefit of multi-manager solutions, but manager and underlying investment selection is also critical, as is an active and dynamic allocation of assets over time. Markets and opportunities are fast moving and our approach seeks to construct solutions that are both durable and flexible to changing market conditions. 

This is our flagship multi-manager and multi-strategy hedge fund product. This fund has a 10 year track record of delivering long term capital growth through investments in a diversified portfolio of hedge funds. The fund seeks to deliver a return over a market cycle of between LIBOR plus 400 bps to LIBOR plus 600 bps.

Launched in 2007, this fund has a long track record of delivering attractive absolute returns. The strategy aims to deliver returns that have a lower correlation to equity markets and achieves this by allocating to a carefully selected portfolio of hedge fund managers who largely pursue a short-term trading strategy, allowing them to anticipate and be reactive to dynamic market conditions.
