Testimonial
"Commodities are well recognized for their diversification potential for a traditional basket of stocks and bonds (both from the point of view of exhibiting low correlation and as an excellent inflation hedge). Investors in passive, long-only commodities (beta products) have historically had to pay a high price for this diversification, however, in the form of large drawdowns, high volatility, and resulting low risk-adjusted returns.
The advent of alpha-driven products, that maintain the diversification benefits of beta-driven products while significantly limiting their ancillary detriments, has resulted in a `best of both worlds scenario in which investors are able to achieve both higher returns and lower risk simultaneously, often referred to as moving the efficient frontier `up and to the left`.
As a pioneer in the realm of actively managed commodity-based products, Tim Pickering and Auspice Capital constantly strive to extract the most value out of beta-driven products while providing enhanced return and downside protection through the addition of alpha-driven strategies."
