Alternative
Mutual

(“Taylor
ALTS”),
which
are
committed
to
providing
financial
advisors
and
their
clients
direct
and
easy
access
to
leading
alternative
investment
strategies
in
a
mutual

format,
today
announced
the
launch
of
the
Taylor
Xplor
Managed
Futures
Strategy
Fund
[TMFIX]
(“Taylor
Xplor
Fund”),
the
first
mutual
fund
of
the
Taylor
ALTS
family
of
funds. The Taylor Xplor Fund is a managed futures strategy that was previously only available to qualified investors and is now accessible to all investors and their financial advisors in an SEC-‐registered, open-‐ end mutual fund with daily liquidity. The Taylor Xplor Fund invests both long and short in a variety of asset classes, including commodities, currencies, equity indices and global interest rates, and is intended to complement traditional equity and fixed income investments by offering diversification, low correlation to markets, reduced portfolio risk during market crises, and the potential for strong returns. Diversification and low correlation to markets does not ensure profit or prevent losses. “We created the Taylor Xplor Fund to meet the changing allocation needs of financial advisors and their clients resulting from the 2008 financial crisis, which has led to artificially low interest rates and global economic instability,” said Kevin F. McDonald, Chief Executive Officer of Taylor Investment Advisors, the mutual fund adviser to the Taylor Xplor Fund. “We believe all investors deserve to have access to sophisticated investment expertise and the potential for superior risk-‐adjusted returns. Our primary goal is to provide the investment solutions that financial advisors need most to overcome the investment obstacles they face today, as well as those we see coming up ahead.” Press Release BM |
