Investment Mandate
Alternatives
Our investment committee is committed to deploying diversified strategies across a range of asset classes to generate strong, risk-adjusted returns in all phases of the market cycle. QUAAF operates under a pooled investment mandate, allocating capital to both internally and externally managed portfolios focused on alternative assets. The team believes alternative strategies are essential to achieving superior performance, particularly as traditional long-only approaches face increasing limitations in modern markets.
Allocation
Externally managed portfolios compose a majority of the total investment allocation and consist of exposures to third party managers operating in the total return/hedge fund universe. In addition to the externally managed portfolios, the Fund also manages a substantially smaller internal mandate that attempts to identify thematic and opportunistic investment opportunities designed to enhance total return.
Performance
The Fund seeks to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns through diversified exposure to both externally and internally managed alternative strategies. By leveraging best-in-class fund managers, opportunistic thematic investments, and disciplined portfolio construction, the Fund aims to outperform its primary benchmark of Canadian CPI + 3.0% on an absolute return basis.
