Paragraph-5
Market Opportunity
Hedge funds are important in investors’ portfolios because they can serve in a variety of different roles. But in all cases, the right hedge funds should provide alpha or idiosyncratic sources of return and risk that are generally uncorrelated to traditional markets like equities and fixed income.

Investment solutions
What is a hedge fund solution?
Investors allocate to hedge funds for many reasons but understanding and managing risk in the ever-evolving universe of more than 8,000 hedge funds requires significant expertise, time and effort. Furthermore, one size does not fit all; investors allocate to hedge funds for different purposes and have varied levels of resources and expertise. A hedge fund solutions provider helps an investor address the inherent complexities and may act as an extension of staff to help an investor develop the optimal portfolio of hedge funds, while offering the desired level of control and transparency.
A diverse offering
BAA offers a range of products and services, which provides clients with access to unique investment opportunities, thematic investments, and meaningfully negotiated terms (e.g., discounted fees, structural improvements, transparency, etc.). BAA serves as an extension of a client’s investment team by providing unique insights, while implementing exposures that complement directly held hedge fund investments.

Risk Warnings
Capital at risk. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise and are not guaranteed. Investors may not get back the amount originally invested. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of current or future results and should not be the sole factor of consideration when selecting a product or strategy. Changes in the rates of exchange between currencies may cause the value of investments to diminish or increase. Fluctuation may be particularly marked in the case of a higher volatility fund and the value of an investment may fall suddenly and substantially. Levels and basis of taxation may change from time to time.
