Alternative investments are investment products other than traditional asset types such as stocks, bonds, and cash. Because of their markedly different risk and return characteristics, alternative investments serve to stabilize and add diversification to traditional portfolios, while also potentially increasing long-term returns. There is a broad range of alternative investments, including:
Managed Futures
Commodities
Hedge Funds
Foreign Equities
Derivatives Contracts
Real Estate
What is a MAP ?
A MAP is an operational infrastructure built to provide investors with a managed account like experience with control and transparency in their investing strategy.
How a MAP works
- Investors have a single, operationally efficient infrastructure that provides them with near real-time data, frequent liquidity, notional funding capabilities, and risk management.
- Each fund is a limited liability company.
- Trading managers are engaged as advisors on the MAP.
- Galaxy Plus managers trade a mixture of exchange traded futures, options, and OTC FX
