Cambridge Alternative Investments : Fund of Funds

We provide access to premium funds by aggregating disparate investor interests and resolving concerns pertaining to minimum commitment levels, critical fund size, disclosure requirements and other issues.

Cambridge Alternative Investment's approach is to be global in identifying superior investment opportunities. We use our internal resources as well as opportunistically leverage on an affiliate-partnering model. This approach provides for better deal visibility and access.

We are forward-looking in identifying future potential out-performers for we have access to around 3-500 new and follow on funds every year. This serves as a pipeline of prospective General Partnerships for due diligence and subsequent investment.

We develop institutional quality private equity investment programs for clients on a separate account or Fund of Funds basis. We provide investors with increased diversification across a number of different strategies, styles and access to talented fund managers.

Cambridge Alternative Investment's approach to optimizing private equity asset allocation includes investing across a broad class of venture funds, buyouts and expansion funds, mezzanine, distressed, special situations, turnarounds and secondary investments. We take exposure to growth capital, financial restructuring or change of control investments as well as accept both minority and control ownership positions.

We follow a diversified investment program and seek both primary and secondary fund investment opportunities globally, in all investment stages.

We believe that broad diversification across multiple asset classes, improved tactical asset allocation and dynamic risk management allows us to create superior risk adjusted returns for our clients. Our investment strategy is to invest in multiple styles & strategies to create diversified efficient frontier based portfolios.

We systematically allocate capital to multiple managers within each style and each strategy and keep an eye on performance and risk oversight. We are thus able to construct Alternative Investment portfolios that are less correlated with public equities.

We use a proprietary risk budgeting based approach to asset allocation. In structuring portfolios we carefully address the effects of style, sector, geography and vintage year diversification.

Style: Our allocation model continually reassigns relative weighting between venture, mezzanine debt, distressed and favorably priced secondary interests to ensure appropriate diversification

Sector: We track public and private markets on a continuous time basis, which gives us a sense of relative value between sectors, so that we can assign appropriate weighting to expected industry over performance

Geographic: We balance our style and sector allocation decisions with geographic considerations and track both public and private funds performance in America, Europe and Asia.

Vintage Year: We do not believe we have market timing skills. Nor do we believe it is necessarily a good approach towards building and maintaining private equity portfolios. Our approach is to purchase secondary interests in existing funds as well as building client portfolios over time
