Segregated
Funds
The greatest
complaint we hear from clients is that they do not want to be "locked-in"
into a fund or fund families for 5 to 7 years. We have answered that
complaint by bringing in no load funds. And because there is 'no load'
the funds are not locked in; you can move them at any time without penalty.
Hedge
Funds
The primary
aim of most hedge funds is to reduce volatility and risk, while attempting
to preserve capital and deliver positive returns under all market conditions.
But the problem here is the same as segregated and mutual funds; if
you do not pay upfront acquisition fees, you are locked in for a period
of 5 to 7 years.
For this
reason we presently only offer hedge funds that guarantee the return
of 100% of your capital after a certain period, normally 5 years.
