About CLAAX
Columbia Multi Strategy Alternatives Fund Class A is a mutual fund designed to provide absolute (positive) returns for investors over a complete market cycle. Its primary function is to deliver diversification benefits through a multi-strategy approach that employs a variety of alternative investment strategies, including long and short positions across global equities, fixed income, currencies, commodities, and derivatives. The fund targets market inefficiencies and utilizes hedging techniques to help reduce correlation with traditional asset classes, which can enhance overall portfolio diversification. Managed by a team of seasoned professionals, it allocates assets among several distinct sleeves, including global macro strategies and mortgage opportunities, engaging external managers for certain portions of the portfolio. This fund is notable for its use of leverage to magnify exposure, which can increase both volatility and risk. By integrating various alternative strategies with relatively low market directionality, it seeks to offer investors a unique vehicle for risk management and potential return generation within the broader landscape of multistrategy funds.
Performance
CLAAX had a total return of 9.91% in the past year, including dividends. Since the fund's inception, the average annual return has been -0.78%.
