Implementing Alternatives

By investing in alternative strategies, investors may achieve additional risk mitigation and potential return enhancement. At Hatteras Funds, we believe an alternative investments’ portfolio should provide exposure to both hedged strategies and private investments as a compliment to a traditional long-only portfolio of stocks and bonds.

Calculated by Hatteras Funds using information from PerTrac. The model portfolio is calculated using quarterly returns and rebalanced annually. Performance does not include fees, therefore returns for the portfolios would be lower due to the impact of fees and expenses not included here.

The indices used to determine the statistics for the portfolios shown were: Hedged Strategies: HFRI Fund of Funds Composite Index; Private Investments: Cambridge Associates, LLC, U.S. Private Equity Index; Stocks: S&P 500 Total Return Index; Bonds: Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The unmanaged indices are not available for direct investment. Past results are not indicative of future performance.

The hypothetical illustrations are not intended to predict the performance of any specific investment or security. No assumptions should be made that similar asset allocations will be profitable, suitable, or perform as indicated above. Allocations and their percentages should change based on an individual investor’s needs.

The past performance figures do not represent performance of any Hatteras Funds security and there can be no assurance that any Hatteras Funds security will achieve the past returns of the illustrative examples.
