Investing in Opportunity
Institutional investors – like pensions, non-profits, and college endowments – use alternative investments as a tool to manage risk and deliver returns over time. These funds help institutions protect retirement security, fund college education, and carry out life-changing work in communities. In the U.S. alone, these institutions invest approximately $1.5 trillion in hedge funds.
