The Hilltop Decorrelated Fund gained 1.2% in October. After months of offsetting winning and losing positions cancelling each other out in the first half of the year, the fund has seen a return to normality over the past 4 months with more winning than losing positions. The fund employs a multi-manager strategy investing in 12-20 underlying hedge funds pursuing decorrelated returns across asset classes like equities, fixed income, currencies and commodities. The target is an average annual return of 10-12% with low volatility and correlation to markets.
Our work demands often leave us with little or no time to spend with the family. This routine can lead to unwarranted stress and fatigue.
Both work and family are the cornerstones of life, neither of which can be ignored. That is why we need to strike a right balance between work and personal life to lead a happy and a healthier life.
Balancing both aspects of your life means you have to give yourself equally so that one will not suffer at the expense of the other. In the long run, the joy, happiness and fulfilment derived from both are worth the effort.
Investing in balanced funds (also known as Hybrid funds) is not much different. Similar to work-life balance, balanced funds are here to give us the best of both worlds.
Today’s lesson by Prof. Simply Simple attempts to explain the importance of balanced funds.
Look forward to your valuable feedback at professor@tataamc.com

Just starting out on your investment journey?
Or have you been investing for a while and need a refresher?
A smart investor takes the time to be clear on the basic principles of investing and uses these to improve investing skills over time and more importantly, to avoid the costly pitfalls. And a smart investor doesn't rely on good luck. Instead, they take the time to consider their investment goals. Then they develop a plan and choose investments that align with their needs and objectives.
This workshop will cover the following areas:
Taking control!
Your money and your life
Savings and investments
Risk and diversification
Investment strategies
Managed fund, shares and property
By attending this session you will gain a better understanding of the fundamental investment principles such as gearing, asset allocation, diversification, dollar cost averaging & compounding.

Warren Buffett recently discussed his win of a decade long wager in the 2017 Annual Report of Berkshire Hathaway. His winning claim was that an investment in a US equity index would outperform a selected group of hedge funds over the period. Although, over time, equity is a strong return generating asset class, the majority of investors are not in the privileged position where they not only have the luxury of time and emotional fortitude, but also sufficient excess capital to be able to fully invest in such a risky asset class to reap the reward that comes with time. The role of hedge funds in the portfolio construction of these investors is explored.
Investors often endure poor timing and planning as
many chase past performance. They buy into funds
that are performing well and initiate a selling spree
following a decline.
There are still opportunities despite stretched valuations. Looking at the macro-backdrop and overlaying it with the stock market, we find that the current episode of moderation is not out of synch with history: we have seen this before. It is not out of the ordinary to see a growth moderation of the current magnitude.
