Bramdean Asset Management discuss alternative investments   25/03/2008

In an alternatives roundtable hosted by Bramdean Asset Management chief executive, Nicola Horlick, commented on the diversification of investments. She said: “Hedge fund and private equity investments will not, by themselves, offer the diversity that alternatives are supposed to deliver. Both are still equity investments and some long-short hedge funds are so long-biased that they are little more than expensive unit trusts. Bramdean’s strategy is to offer the most diversified approach to alternative fund of fund investing.” It was revealed that Bramdean Asset Management is examining a number of investments, including commodities, timber, agriculture and energy. Ms Horlick also welcomed the FSA consultation, now reaching its final stages, which is expected to encourage greater access to funds of alternative investment funds (FAIFs) for private investors.
