Alternative Investments

Accessing alternative investments through specialist insight

Our alternative strategies focus on areas where closer proximity to assets and underlying companies allows for deeper insight and stronger governance. We work with a carefully selected group of specialist partners, concentrating on opportunities that require long‑term commitment and specialist expertise. Sustainability considerations are embedded within our decision making, taking centre stage in our positive impact strategies.

What are the challenges of investing in alternatives?

The universe of alternative investments is highly varied which can make selecting the right options rather complex. The range of expected returns is wider, costs are typically higher and capital tends to be locked in for a longer period of time compared to more liquid (listed) investments. As a result, these investments often require a long-term commitment.

Managing complexity

For investors with more complex investment needs we have developed a new consultancy-led service. Many clients also use our AIS service to deliver highly bespoke Impact mandates where we can deliver detailed impact reporting within a robust governance framework.

There’s a saying in Dutch, Kom verder, it means many things and it’s our business philosophy. It captures the way we work with clients but also the way we steer our investee companies to deliver shareholder value through active engagement.

Capital at risk. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise, and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. Past performance provides no guarantee for the future.
