ManagerTodd Munn
Fund Description
The Advisor believes that giving highly disciplined sub-advisors (each, a “manager” or “sub-advisor”) latitude in the types of stocks they can own can confer an advantage over managers who are more tightly constrained to an arbitrary “style box.” This belief underlays the premise of the Alternative Strategies Fund to seek skilled managers, give them broad flexibility, limit them to their highest-conviction ideas and create diversification at the overall fund level by choosing managers with complementary styles, which the Advisor believes also should reduce risk. The Advisor is responsible for recommending which sub-advisors to hire or remove. Before hiring a sub-advisor, the Advisor performs extensive due diligence. This includes quantitative and qualitative analysis, including (but not limited to) an evaluation of the investment process, the consistency of its execution and discipline; individual holdings; strategies employed, past mistakes, risk controls, team depth and quality; operations and compliance; and business focus and vision. The Advisor’s evaluation process includes review of literature and documents, quantitative historical performance evaluation, extensive discussions with members of the investment team and firm management and background checks through industry contacts.
There is no minimum or maximum allocation of the Alternative Strategies Fund’s portfolio assets to each sub-advisor. Allocations among sub-advisors are based on a number of factors, including iM Global’s expectation for the risk-adjusted return potential of each sub-advisor’s strategy and the impact on overall portfolio risk, with the objective of maximizing return subject to the goals of low volatility and relatively low correlation with broad financial markets, especially the stock market. iM Global may at times adjust the allocations of capital to sub-advisors if it believes there is a highly compelling tactical opportunity in a particular sub-advisor’s strategy. A tactical opportunity could represent the potential for an exceptional risk-adjusted return opportunity relative to the other strategies, or it may represent a superior risk reduction opportunity that could benefit the Alternative Strategies Fund’s overall portfolio.
Over the long term, the goal of iM Global, the advisor to the Alternative Strategies Fund, is to achieve an annualized return of ICE BofAML U.S. 3-Month Treasury Index plus a range of 4% to 8%. The Alternative Strategies Fund invests in a mix of strategies that
iM Global believes offer risk-return characteristics that are attractive individually and even more compelling collectively. The Alternative Strategies Fund is intended to be used by investors as a source of diversification for traditional stock and bond portfolios to reduce volatility and potentially enhance returns relative to various measures of risk.
Sub-advisor strategies may seek to benefit from: opportunities to combine securities with differing risk characteristics; market inefficiencies; arbitrage opportunities; opportunities to provide liquidity; tactical opportunities in asset classes or securities; special situations such as spin offs; as well as other opportunities in areas such as real estate or managed futures and equity hedge strategies. In the aggregate, the managers can invest globally in stocks of companies of any size, domicile or market capitalization, government and corporate bonds and other fixed income securities and currencies, including short positions of any of the foregoing, within their respective segments of the Alternative Strategies Fund. The Alternative Strategies Fund may also invest in derivatives, including, without limitation, options, futures contracts, participatory notes (“P-Notes”) and swaps, to manage risk or enhance return and can also borrow amounts up to one third of the value of the Fund’s total assets (except that the Alternative Strategies Fund may exceed this limit to satisfy redemption requests or for other temporary purposes). Each of the managers may invest in illiquid securities; however, the Alternative Strategies Fund as a whole may not hold more than
15% of its net assets in illiquid securities. In some cases, the sub-advisors may seek to replicate strategies they employ in their private (hedge) funds. In other cases, the sub-advisors may seek to enhance strategies they run in other public funds by focusing on their highest conviction ideas to a greater extent or by pursuing certain aspects of their strategies with greater flexibility. However, the Alternative Strategies Fund will only invest directly in portfolio securities selected by the sub-advisors and will not invest in any pooled investment vehicles or accounts managed by the sub-advisors.
Each sub-advisor will have an investment approach that generally focuses on a particular asset class or specific strategies. Currently, the strategies the sub-advisors focus on are as follows: (1) an arbitrage oriented strategy, (2) an opportunistic income strategy which will often focus on mortgage related securities, (3) a contrarian opportunity strategy that allows tactical investments throughout the capital structure (stocks and bonds), asset classes, market capitalization, industries and geographies, (4) a long/short credit strategy, (5) a strategic alpha strategy that focuses on the tactical allocation of long and short global fixed income opportunities and currencies, and (6) an “enhanced trend strategy” that focuses on a blend of managed futures and equity hedge strategies. iM Global may hire sub-advisors that focus on other strategies in the future, and not all strategies that may be appropriate will be represented in the Alternative Strategies Fund’s portfolio at all times.
| SUB- ADVISOR | TARGET ASSET ALLOCATION | STOCK-PICKINGSTYLE | |
| Blackstone Credit Systematic Strategies LLC (“BXCSS”) | 15% | Long-Short Credit | |
| DoubleLine Capital, LP (“DoubleLine”) | 20% | Opportunistic Income | |
| Dynamic Beta investments, LLC (“Dynamic”) | 20% | Enhanced Trend | |
| First Pacific Advisors, LLC (“FPA”) | 12% | Contrarian Opportunity | |
| Loomis Sayles and Company, LP (“Loomis”) | 15% | Strategic Alpha Fixed Income | |
| Water Island Capital, LLC | 18% | Arbitrage |
The sub-advisor that manages the arbitrage strategy seeks to generate long-term returns of at least mid-single-digits with low correlation to the equity and bond markets and may follow merger arbitrage, convertible arbitrage and capital structure arbitrage strategies. This objective is pursued by investing in equity and debt securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies that are impacted by corporate events such as mergers, acquisitions, restructurings, refinancings, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other special situations.
The sub-advisor that manages the opportunistic income strategy allocates investments to fixed income instruments and other investments with no limit on the duration of the portfolio. The sub-advisor may invest in, without limitation, asset-backed securities; domestic and foreign corporate bonds, including high-yield bonds; municipal bonds; bonds or other obligations issued by domestic or foreign governments, including emerging markets countries; real estate investment trust (“REIT”) debt securities;
and mortgage related securities. iM Global defines an emerging market country as any country that is included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. When investing in mortgage-related securities, the sub-advisor may invest in obligations issued or guaranteed by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. Government; collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) issued by domestic or foreign private issuers that represent an interest in or are collateralized by mortgage related securities issued by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. Government; commercial mortgage backed securities (“CMBS”); obligations issued by private issuers that represent an interest in or are collateralized by whole mortgage loans or mortgage related securities without a government guarantee but typically with some form of private credit enhancement; “interest only” and “principal only” stripped mortgage securities; inverse floating rate securities; and debt or equity tranches of collateralized debt obligations collateralized by mortgage related securities. The sub-advisor may purchase or sell mortgage-backed securities on a delayed delivery or forward
commitment basis through the “to-be-announced” (TBA) market. With TBA transactions, the particular securities to be delivered are not identified at the trade date but the delivered securities must meet specified terms and standards. The sub-advisor will generally enter into TBA transactions with the intention of taking possession of the underlying mortgage-backed securities. However, in an effort to obtain underlying mortgage-backed securities on more preferable terms or to enhance returns, the sub-advisor may extend the settlement by entering into “dollar roll” transactions in which the sub-advisor sells mortgage-backed securities and simultaneously agrees to purchase substantially similar securities on a future date. The sub-advisor also expects to engage in short sales of TBA mortgages, including short sales on TBA mortgages the Alternative Strategies Fund does not own, to potentially enhance returns or manage risk.
The sub-advisor that manages the contrarian opportunity strategy focuses on investments that offer absolute rather than relative value. The goal is to provide equity-like returns over longer periods (i.e., five to seven years) while protecting against the permanent loss of capital. Attention is directed toward those companies offering the best combination of such quality criteria as strong market share, good management, and high normalized return on capital.
The sub-advisor that manages the long-short credit strategy employs a systematic portfolio construction process underpinned by a proprietary, fundamental model of credit risk and valuation. The sub-advisor’s investment process is designed to exploit information gaps between credit and equity markets and other market inefficiencies to identify and capture mispricing at the individual asset level. The portfolio is managed with the intention that the sensitivity of the long portfolio to market-wide credit spread movements will be offset in part by the sensitivities of the short portfolio to such market-wide movements. The sub-advisor may invest in corporate bonds issued by domestic and non-U.S. based companies, U.S. Treasury securities and long (sold protection) single name credit default swaps (CDS), interest rate futures and swaps and foreign exchange forwards (for hedging and currency conversion purposes). The short portfolio may be invested in short (bought protection) single name Credit Default Swap (CDS), short positions in Credit Default Indices (CDX Indices), and short positions in Total Return Swaps (TRS).
The sub-advisor that manages the strategic alpha strategy seeks to achieve positive total returns over a full market cycle with relatively low volatility. The sub-advisor intends to pursue its objective by utilizing a flexible investment approach that allocates investments across a global range of investment opportunities related to credit, currencies and interest rates, while employing risk management strategies designed to mitigate downside risk. Under normal market conditions, the sub-advisor may invest (1) up to 75% of the total assets allocated to it in below investment-grade fixed income securities and related derivatives; (2) up to 75% of the total assets allocated to it in investments denominated in non-U.S. currencies and related derivatives, including up to 50% in investments denominated in emerging market currencies and related derivatives; and (3) up to 20% of the total assets allocated to it in equity related securities and derivatives as measured at time of allocation. A “related
derivative” of a financial instrument means any derivative whose value is based upon or derived from that financial instrument or a related derivative of that financial instrument. The sub-advisor incorporates systematic and quantitative models into its investment process.
The sub-advisor that manages the enhanced trend strategy seeks to generate attractive absolute and risk-adjusted returns over multi-year periods with low average correlation to traditional assets, while providing strong diversification benefits during periods of extended losses for stocks and/or bonds. The sub-advisor may also allocate a portion of the Alternative Strategies Fund’s assets that it manages to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Alternative Strategies Fund (the “Subsidiary”), which is organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands, is advised by that sub‑advisor, and will comply with the Alternative Strategies Fund’s investment objective and investment policies.
