“A large number of alternative strategies promising absolute return instead delivered absolutely no return. In 2009, 15% of absolute return UCITS had a loss, which was a big improvement over the prior year when 72% of them had negative performance. Traditional funds also did poorly in 2008, but they never promised absolute return. This issue is central to expectation and product management and will govern the progress of many alternatives approaches.”
