UOB Alternative Investment Management believes that alternative investments can provide broader diversification, reduce risk and enhance returns when added to a portfolio of traditional assets. The firm employs a multi-manager approach investing predominantly in UCITS-compliant funds using alternative strategies such as equity absolute return, equity long-short, and macro strategies. Their investment process combines rigorous fundamental research with systematic portfolio construction to harness diversified sources of alpha and achieve consistent performance over time. The firm focuses primarily on Asia Pacific markets, capitalizing on the region's dynamic growth opportunities. They aim for absolute returns with better risk-adjusted performance and lower volatility compared to traditional equities. Asian Alternative Investment Funds have historically outperformed global counterparts and traditional asset classes on a risk-adjusted basis.
