Alternative Investments
The inherent benefits of Alternative Investments
are increasingly becoming apparent to the investment community.
In our view, throughout the next decade, Alternative Investment
strategies will become a significant portion of both private
and institutional investors’ portfolios.

Hedge Funds
Hedge Funds represent one of the fastest growing segments of the investment world. The diversification and active risk management they provide are true advantages to their investors’ portfolios.

   
 

Theory and Reality
In theory, the performance of Hedge Funds should have negative or low correlation
to equity and fixed income investments. In theory, Hedge Funds should consistently
produce superior absolute returns regardless of market conditions.

HCML is continuously reviewing the performance figures of more than 4,000 Hedge Funds.
HCML finds that the actual performance of the majority of Hedge Funds do not comply with
the theory.

We believe that comprehensive education and research, combined with a careful selection
of Hedge Fund organizations, will bring the Hedge Funds reality of our clients close to the theory.

Setting rigorous standards for investment evaluation by our clients will strengthen
and enhance their portfolios and will encourage competition and excellence within
the Hedge Funds industry.

Commodities
We personally find Commodities to be a fascinating asset class. Acquiring knowledge
and comprehension of commodity markets behavior, provides valuable insight to global financial
and economic research. Commodity Investments have the potential to provide superior returns
to long term investors as well as true portfolio diversification.

HCML is dedicated to commodity markets research and is engaged in developing
and promoting innovative commodity products.
