Numerous recent articles in the financial press report yet another alternative fund suspension due to liquidity constraints arising from increased redemption orders.The Hilltop fund selection process, will not consider any fund that does not have acceptable liquidity in its underlying assets. It is our view that funds investing in illiquid asset classes, especially those that are ‘marked to model’, carry unacceptable inherent risk for investors. All is well as long as subscriptions are greater than redemptions. When this reverses even in the short term (as is inevitable from time to time with any fund), it almost always has fatal consequences for those that lack sufficient liquidity.

The Hilltop Decorrelated Fund, launched in October 2012, is specifically targeted at those investors who are seeking alternative investments delivering consistent returns, with very low volatility.

The Hilltop Decorrelated Fund delivers this, without the accompanying liquidity or pricing risk that is inherent in so many other strategies.

In order to seek decent returns, while adequately protecting investors from liquidity risk, the Hilltop Decorrelated Fund:

• invests predominantly in strategies trading traditional asset classes, on international exchanges with high levels of liquidity (equities, bonds, FX, commodities);

• only invests in funds that demonstrate matched liquidity – which means they must be able to liquidate their entire book within their dealing period if necessary;

• must invest a minimum of 75% of its assets in funds with monthly liquidity or better. The remainder can be invested in funds with quarterly dealing or better;

• cannot gate or suspend trading in response to increased redemption levels.*
