UCITS Funds
PRODUCTS
UCITS Funds
Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (or "UCITS", pronounced "yoo-sits") are a set of European Union Directives that aim to allow collective investment schemes to operate freely throughout the EU on the basis of a single authorisation from one member state. In practice many EU member nations have imposed additional regulatory requirements that have impeded free operation with the effect of protecting local asset managers.
Structured Products
In finance, a structured product, also known as a market-linked product, is generally a pre-packaged investment strategy based on derivatives, such as a single security, a basket of securities, options, indices, commodities, debt issuances and/or foreign currencies, and to a lesser extent, swaps. The variety of products just described is demonstrative of the fact that there is no single, uniform definition of a structured product. A feature of some structured products is a "principal guarantee" function, which offers protection of principal if held to maturity. For example, an investor invests 100 dollars, the issuer simply invests in a risk free bond that has sufficient interest to grow to 100 after the five-year period. This bond might cost 80 dollars today and after five years it will grow to 100 dollars. With the leftover funds the issuer purchases the options and swaps needed to perform whatever the investment strategy is. Theoretically an investor can just do this themselves, but the costs and transaction volume requirements of many options and swaps are beyond many individual investors.
Hedge Fund Indices
Hedge fund indices have to fulfill the three basic criteria to become UCITS III eligible – sufficient diversification, ability to serve as an adequate benchmark and appropriate publication. The indices provide an investable benchmark with daily liquidity that represents the risk and return of the various investable Alternative Investment Strategies. All our indices target to offer investors an unbiased reference of the performance of alternative asset classes.
Portable Alpha
Portable Alpha is an investment management term, which refers to the return of an investment manager who has completely eliminated his market risk (beta), through the use of derivatives (e.g. futures, swaps, options). In simple terms, this is a strategy that involves investing in areas that have little to no correlation with the market.
