In pursuing a positive total return, the advisor is generally intended to produce lower volatility over a reasonable period of time than has been historically associated with traditional asset classes that have earned similar levels of return over long historical periods. The fund aims to accomplish this objective by combining "directional" strategies and "non-directional" strategies. The directional strategies seek efficient, diversified exposure to investment markets. The non-directional strategies aim to provide positive returns that have minimal correlation with traditional asset classes.
