About CLAZX
Columbia Multi Strategy Alternatives Fund is an open-end mutual fund that pursues absolute positive returns by employing a multi-strategy, alternative investment approach. Its primary objective is to generate consistent gains over a complete market cycle, regardless of traditional market direction. The fund achieves this by allocating assets across various alternative strategies—including global macro, mortgage opportunities, long/short commodities, global tactical asset allocation, and currency management—utilizing both long and short positions. Notably, the fund leverages expertise from several specialized investment managers and utilizes sophisticated hedging techniques to capitalize on market inefficiencies while seeking to minimize correlation and directionality to broader equity and fixed income markets. This results in a diversified portfolio that can offer potential risk mitigation and portfolio stabilization for investors seeking returns less reliant on conventional asset classes. The Columbia Multi Strategy Alternatives Fund thereby serves as a tool for portfolio diversification, appealing to institutional and individual investors seeking exposure to alternative investment strategies within a transparent, mutual fund structure.
Performance
CLAZX had a total return of 10.20% in the past year, including dividends. Since the fund's inception, the average annual return has been -0.54%.
