Alternative Investment Fund (QIAIF)

The Cantor Fitzgerald Alternative Investment Fund is designed to generate positive returns regardless of market conditions

Fund Objective

The Cantor Fitzgerald Alternative Investment QIAIF Fund was launched in August 2007*. It is a process-driven absolute return fund. The fund may hold cash from time to time in order to protect capital.

The fund does not reference a benchmark, instead it targets a return in excess of 7% per annum for the investor, not withstanding how equity markets perform.

Investment Process

Our proven and robust three-pillar investment process focuses on macro-economic, valuation and technical analysis and we are dynamic in our approach to asset allocation and stock selection.
