Applying the familiar differently.
The ability to deliver investment returns under varying markets conditions, requires a significant increase in the investment toolkit and the freedom to source returns from non-traditional strategies using the traditional tools we’ve come to know. Blue Ink has taken the opportunity granted by the regulator to provide a single access point to diversified investment strategies and hedge fund managers.
The single access point creates the foundation for an offering ranging from:
A first in the hedge fund industry positioning against typical investor risk profiles for the retail and qualified investor:
Blue Ink retail and qualified investor fund of hedge funds.
A first in tailoring a multi strategy blend of hedge fund strategies for the professional investor with scale: Blue Ink Institutional Platform.
Translating intent to investment outcomes
Big losses generally occur roughly three times more than they should. Blue Ink offers an investor a protective barrier designed to mitigate the adverse effects of this, while providing decent growth on investments made. We aim to ensure that the value of investments outpaces cash returns over three to five years irrespective of whether markets are trending up or down, using traditional tools of modern finance, differently.
Consistent rewards across different market regimes, require degrees of investment freedom. Different market regimes require investment strategies that explore all (regulated) tools available in the modern finance toolbox. These degrees of freedom are essential for Blue Ink. We do not pursue our investment objectives with one arm tied behind our back. By being able to responsibly lend and borrow using derivatives and other financial instruments, our selected strategies can capture less of the downside (or more of the upside through borrowing to buy more) and skew our returns towards a more desirable outcome.
Diligent risk management means fewer surprises. Returns can’t be managed, only risk can – our skill lies predominantly here. Measuring and monitoring risk is only as valuable as the ability to truly understand its sources, and manage it within a robust framework that will help guide decisions about the future.
Blue Ink continues to seek out talented niche hedge fund financial services providers and regulated hedge funds in an ever growing hedge fund landscape of more than 100 hedge funds and over 50 hedge fund managers. Blue Ink undertakes cautious selection and blending of superior hedge fund strategies along with stringent due diligence risk management and risk monitoring.
By offering investors an opportunity to express their investment view and inform portfolio construction, our institutional hedge fund platform facilitates seamless information flow and skill transfer. This is achieved through imparting of our market and manager research as well as our integrated manager reporting and risk management.
The access Blue Ink enjoys to the landscape of hedge funds allows us to share insightful learnings and research.
