Liquid alternative fund strategies can act as a diversifying tool to reduce volatility by generating returns with no- or low-correlation to traditional markets. These strategies can offer diversification and mitigate risk from traditional strategies that retail clients may be invested in (i.e. traditional long only equity or traditional fixed income portfolios).

What is the Pender Alternative Absolute Return Fund?

The Pender Alternative Absolute Return Fund offers investors an alternative to traditional fixed income funds. It is a flexible, high-yield-focused, liquid alternative fund which aims to generate consistent, high-single-digit annualized returns throughout the market cycle with low correlations to major market indices.

It is a credit-focused fund centered around intelligent security selection across capital structures and the flexibility to exploit the best risk-adjusted opportunities in every market cycle.
