From Programme:
Everyone is talking about portable alpha, but like any new product or strategy in the spotlight, there is also a lot of misinformation. Portable alpha involves investing in a variety of alpha producing strategies that do not affect market exposure or an investor’s overall asset allocation. The strategy is portable because it can be used with most asset classes as long as they have liquidity and can be hedged.
Portable alpha can offer institutional investors many benefits, but it can also be risky and expensive. Implementation is complicated because it requires skill, a comfort with derivatives and accepting an alternative philosophy of investing.
