About FABZX
K2 Alternative Strategies Fund Advisor Class is an open-end mutual fund that employs a multistrategy approach, allocating assets across a range of non-traditional or alternative investment strategies. Its primary objective is to achieve capital appreciation with relatively lower volatility compared to broad equity markets, making it distinct within the alternative mutual fund universe. The fund's unique construction allows exposure to multiple sectors and instruments, including equities, debt securities, cash equivalents, and derivatives such as futures, swaps, and options. This allocation strategy aims to diversify sources of return and reduce correlation with traditional market indexes. The portfolio may include U.S. and foreign securities of all capitalization sizes, investment-grade and non-investment-grade bonds, and can also tactically adjust exposures in response to changing market conditions. The fund is notable for its active management, high turnover, and use of economic leverage through derivatives, all of which reflect its focus on capturing alternative risk premia. It plays a role for investors seeking diversification beyond conventional asset classes, often fitting into portfolios as a complement to stocks and bonds within the multistrategy alternatives category.
