Why Liquid Alternatives?
- Diversify and broaden your investment exposure
- Seek to dampen portfolio volatility
- Hedge unwanted market exposure
- Daily liquidity for complete access for all investors
- Full transparency
- Investor protections afforded by the Investment Company Act of 1940
Alternative investments seek to provide returns and risk that are different than those of stocks, bonds and cash. The diversification benefits afforded by alternative investments allow investors to potentially lower risk in their portfolios without necessarily sacrificing returns.
Alternative investments historically were accessible only by institutional and high net worth investors. Today all investors have access to liquid alternatives, which are funds designed to provide the benefits and characteristics of hedge funds, with the daily liquidity, transparency, low cost and regulation of mutual funds.
Why Now?
Stock market valuations have been elevated, and many stocks have been near their all-time highs.
Likewise, with interest rates hovering at historic lows and the prospects growing for rising interest rates, we believe traditional portfolios are poised for lower returns, while today’s market uncertainties may drive greater volatility ahead.
Alternative investments, however, historically have produced attractive relative returns in challenging equity and fixed income environments, while offering lower portfolio volatility. We think this is something investors should not ignore.
Why AXS Liquid Alternatives?

Liquid alternatives from AXS Investments are managed by highly experienced portfolio managers with unique experience in managing both alternative investments, which provide for hedging and other important portfolio enhancing tools, and mutual funds, which allow for liquid, transparent outcomes with critical investor protections.
