Alternative Investment Strategies –
Multi-Strategy Funds

Alternative strategies, also known as long/short strategies, aim to protect and grow capital in all market environments by taking both long (purchases) and short (selling) positions in a portfolio. Gluskin Sheff's primary investment vehicles aimed at providing exposure to equity-oriented long/short portfolios are our two alternative multi-strategy funds: GS+A Multi-Strategy Fund (more conservative) and GS+A Multi-Strategy Opportunities Fund (slightly more aggressive).

These multi-strategy funds provide our clients with

Access to multiple long/short alternative strategies
Increased diversification and less volatility as compared to holding single long/short strategies
Portfolios whose exposure to underlying funds can be quickly adjusted to adapt to changing market environments or opportunities
