The fund seeks to offer access to hedge fund-like returns, with the flexibility of daily liquidity, increased transparency and 1099 tax reporting. The fund is intended to complement the suite of alternatives-focused mutual fund offerings available through the Asset Management division of Credit Suisse.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan Drachman, Head of Research for Credit Suisse Alternative Beta Strategies, said, &#8220;Hedge funds offer the potential to improve diversification and reduce correlation and portfolio volatility; however, investors needing access to capital are often constrained by hedge funds&#8217; illiquid nature, and the process for investing in offshore vehicles can be tax restrictive, lengthy and expensive.&#8221; Drachman continued, &#8220;For investors seeking to enhance the efficiency of their portfolios, we believe the Credit Suisse Liquid Alternative Fund may provide a liquid alternative for accessing the risk and return characteristics of hedge funds without the structural impediments of Limited Partnerships.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Robert Alderman, Head of Retail Distribution for Credit Suisse Asset Management in the Americas, added, &#8220;We consider alternative investments to be a critical component of a well-diversified portfolio and we are proud to lead the market with investor-friendly products that fill a void for clients seeking more liquid, transparent and cost efficient access to the alternatives space.&#8221; Alderman went on to say, &#8220;Credit Suisse&#8217;s Asset Management division has a long history of expertise in alternatives and is one of the industry&#8217;s largest hedge fund allocators and most established alternative investment solution providers. The Credit Suisse Liquid Alternative Fund is an ideal addition to our product platform.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York (HedgeCo.net) &#8211; Credit Suisse&#8217;s Asset Management Division has announced the launch of the Credit Suisse Liquid Alternative Fund.
