Opalesque Industry Update - Weiss Multi-Strategy Advisers, an asset management firm which, with its affiliates, has over 40 years of trusted performance and dedicated client service, today announced a liquid alternative ('40 Act) fund called the Weiss Alternative Balanced Risk Fund. This new fund combines passive investment with an investment in the actively managed underlying strategies of Weiss' flagship multi-strategy long/short strategy. "Today's investors are finding it increasingly challenging to achieve steady and smooth returns and preserve their capital in the current volatile, zero interest rate market," said Jordi Visser, President and Chief Investment Officer at Weiss. "The Weiss Alternative Balanced Risk Fund seeks to mitigate this by offering a liquid alternative investment option that has the potential for lower volatility and low correlation with the return curves of any existing products." Alternative investment channels have long been considered mysterious and complex, and generally out of reach for the broader investment community. Weiss' combination of a passive investment strategy with an active multi-strategy investment, previously only available to institutions via WEISX's hedge fund counterpart, will now be available for the first time to retail investors. Weiss has long held a standard of providing information and best practices to investors and distributors. With the launch of the new fund, Weiss renews this commitment to registered investment advisers, financial advisors and the investment community at large.
