LCG is experienced in researching and implementing alternative investment strategies (both direct and fund-of-fund vehicles) on behalf of its clients. The purpose of including “alternative” investments in an overall investment strategy is to help grow assets at a rate above inflation, liabilities, and fees without introducing additional risk. The total allocation to “alternatives” is dependent upon a client’s specific objectives, restrictions, and liquidity constraints as well as the client’s comfort level with an asset class. Some of the “alternative” asset classes our clients currently employ and for which we have conducted searches are:
  • Absolute return strategies
  • Buyouts
  • Commodities
  • Distressed debt
  • Long/short strategies
  • Market “neutral” strategies
  • Merger arbitrage
  • Oil and gas
  • Value-added and opportunistic real estate
  • Private equity
  • Timberland
  • Venture capital
  • Special situations and secondary private capital
