Diversifier Strategies

How diversifier strategies distinctively contribute to traditional stock and bond portfolios.

Diversifier strategies seek to strengthen portfolios by functioning as a separate asset class, distinct from stocks and bonds. They target differentiated risk-reward profiles, attempting to support portfolios when traditional assets are stressed. Because of their unique role, diversifiers do not always perform in lock step with other investments.

No strategy works all the time, and prudent risk management often means not every investment should be moving in the same direction at the same time. A blend of alternatives with stocks and bonds can potentially extend the risk-management benefits associated with traditional asset class diversification. Over the long run, diversifier strategies have tended to provide investors with reasonable returns as well as attractive risk-management benefits, making them suitable for many types of portfolios.
