Alternative Investments

Alternative investments offer: a) low correlation with traditional asset classes, b) lower risk/volatility of returns, and c) potential for high absolute returns regardless of market direction. The role played by these financial instruments in asset allocation strategies is set to grow in the decades ahead. A flourishing community of private and institutional investors now looks to established managers capable of delivering superior risk-adjusted performance irrespective of whether the markets are rising or falling.

Cantors Goldwin Investments S.A. is renowned for its cutting edge approach to product development. Our professionals are drawn from various academic backgrounds and share a wealth of investment experience.

The ability to combine expertise in different disciplines, corporate finance, investment Banking, law, and mathematics, all contributes significantly to the team's capability to provide effective and comprehensive product and solution structuring services to clients.

The product and solution structuring team builds the investment content and portfolio construction skills our investment managers, who in turn apply their skills in consulting and assessment, financial engineering, legal structuring, product management financing, liquidity management and performance analysis. The driving force behind our continual innovation in structured products and solutions is our commitment to provide complete services in the context of a constantly changing fiscal, legal, accounting, and investment environment, both globally and locally.

Through joint ventures and marketing partnerships, we can also offer 'private labeling' services for customized products. The attraction of these products is our experience in risk management and our ability to supplement investors' capital to improve return potential within the targeted risk range.

In their simplest form, structured products transform an exposure of an underlying portfolio or instrument into a security or listed instrument. In creating these portfolios, we are able to offer exposure to investment strategies that may otherwise be relatively inaccessible or even closed to investors. In tailoring the risk profile, the bulk of our structured offerings in the hedge fund asset class provide principal protection in the form of capital guarantees, fixed life to maturity, and monthly liquidity.
