As an alternative to traditional portfolios of equities and fixed-income securities, hedge funds represent a distinct asset class with their own unique behavioural characteristics. Combined with traditional assets, the resulting portfolios offer superior risk-adjusted performance.

Hedge funds can serve to diversify your investments because they are not highly correlated with other asset classes.
