All-Weather Alternatives

Seeking to Build Stable Portfolios for Any Market

What are All-Weather Alternatives?
At Longboard, we understand investors crave great returns, but need consistency over time to achieve them. Our goal is simple: shield investors from today's most challenging problems by implementing powerful multi-strategy diversification tools.


Why Choose Longboard?
In today's unpredictable economic environment, traditional investment strategies may fall short. Here's why we believe an all-weather approach is essential:

  1. Resilience during Market Declines: Our approach targets high single-digit returns and offers better downside management during severe or prolonged equity market declines.

  2. Preparation for Inflationary Periods: We help investors prepare for potential inflationary periods, drawing on historical lessons from the 1910s, 1940s, and 1970s.

  3. Alternative to High Correlation Assets: All-Weather Alternatives seek to provide a potential solution, complementing or replacing highly correlated assets as a risk reducer in the portfolio.

  4. Outperformance: Historically, our approach has offered higher returns and greater diversification compared to many alternative strategies.

Advantages of All-Weather Alternatives

  • Increased Diversification: Combining returns from different complementary strategies.

  • Stable Returns: Seeking consistent performance across diverse markets.

  • Access to New Opportunities: Exposure to innovative strategies and sources of return.

  • Downside Risk Management: Potentially reducing risk without sacrificing returns in various market conditions.
