Alternatives

A ballast to portfolios

Returns that do not rely on the direction of stocks or bonds and dampen the volatility of challenging investment environments

Portfolios that truly diversify risk

Focus’ modern investment platform provides clients with a broad suite of private and public market asset classes in which to invest

In today’s markets, with increasingly correlated public asset classes, exposure to a broader toolkit of investments provides critical stability and the potential for superior risk-adjusted returns. At Focus, we offer clients a suite of conservatively managed alternative strategies in addition to our core public equities and fixed income strategies.
Focus clients benefit from the kind of diversification opportunities leading institutional investors and ultra-high-net-worth families have enjoyed for decades.
