Henderson Alternative Strategies Trust: Improved Performance
Edison | Jan 29, 2017 05:49AM ET
Henderson Alternative Strategies Trust PLC (LON:HAST) invests in a portfolio of specialist and alternative funds with the objective of beating longer-term global equity market returns. It allocates assets to five main types of strategy – hedge funds, private equity, property, specialist geography and specialist sector – focusing on funds that private investors would be unable or unlikely to access individually. After a three-year reconstruction process following its move to Henderson, the portfolio now represents the 30-40 best ideas of the investment team, and recent performance has improved dramatically. The trust has instituted a progressive dividend policy and also recently announced a special dividend.
Investment strategy: Specialist and alternative focus
HAST is managed by Ian Barrass and James de Bunsen, who are responsible for specialist and alternative strategies within the multi-asset team at Henderson Global Investors. Between them, the managers have more than 40 years’ experience in alternative investment, and bring this to bear in seeking out quality funds investing in niche areas including private equity, property, hedge funds, specialist credit and emerging markets. Macro input from the wider multi-asset team helps the managers to express thematic views within the portfolio.
