CEOLitman Gregory
The Alternative Strategies Fund was created based on the following fundamental beliefs:
First, Litman Gregory believes it is possible to identify investment managers who will deliver superior long-term performance relative to their passive benchmarks and peer groups. This belief is based on Litman Gregory’s extensive experience evaluating managers and mutual funds on behalf of their clients. The five managers in this fund were chosen for their specialized and demonstrated expertise, as well as for their complementary, non-correlated investment approaches.
Second, not only do we want high-quality managers, but we want to offer access to them at an acceptable cost. We spent the last couple of years engaged in research to find the right mix of managers we believe can deliver on both fronts.
Third, this fund doesn’t seek to simply replicate what each manager is already doing elsewhere, but to bring investors additional value-add through flexibility, concentration, and the ability to be more opportunistic.
