Trusted experience,
alternative solutions.

A Core Holding

Ironwood serves as a core alternative investment solution.

Through strategic diversification and reduced dependency on the equity and credit markets, our funds aim to serve as a core holding within an alternative investment allocation in an investor's portfolio.

Conservative Objective

  • Seek to deliver a real rate of return
  • Manage month-over-month volatility and target a low annualized standard deviation
  • Maintain a low beta to equities and fixed income

Balanced Approach

  • Our portfolio invests across a core group of complementary and non-correlated hedge fund strategies and managers
  • Top 10 managers will represent approximately 60% to 80% of total allocations

Actively Managed

  • Our sector allocations are driven by an opportunities-first approach
  • We continually re-allocate capital to managers in the best position to execute
  • Access to industry leading, highly selective, and closed managers

Complementary Portfolio

  • Our solution is a complement to traditional equities and credit
  • Pairs well with other alternative investment strategies
