Its primary purpose is to offer investors a way to enhance portfolio diversification and reduce correlation with traditional equity and bond markets.

The fund features transparency and liquidity, offering daily access to investments and full transparency to holdings and strategy rationales for portfolio managers. With an adjusted expense ratio of 1.00% and a net asset base of around $713 million, the fund targets institutional and large retirement plan investors.
