Insurance-Linked Investments: Greater Stability for Your Portfolio
Volatile financial markets are driving investors to seek sources of diversification and means to improve stability for their portfolios. Insurance-linked investments are ideal for this as they are one of the few asset classes to have virtually no correlation to any others.
Balfour Capital Group has been involved in this asset class for more than ten years now and offers a wide range of insurance-linked investments from open-ended funds for all kinds of investors through to customized mandates for institutional clients.
Hedge Funds: Actively Managed Portfolios in A Variety of Asset Classes
Hedge funds permit a very active investment approach across a range of asset classes, making them a good way to supplement a traditional portfolio and increase its diversification.
Balfour Capital Group has invested in hedge funds since 1997, developing an extensive network of the most successful hedge fund managers in the world.

Private Equity: Investing in Unlisted Companies
Private equity involves investors taking a stake in an unlisted company. The aim is to help it through an important phase of its development (start-up, growth, etc.) in order to sell the stake for a profit at a later stage.

Commodities: The Engine of Economic Development
A rising global population means growing demand for commodities, making them an attractive investment.
Our funds invest in a wide range of commodities: Hard commodities (depletable commodities) include energy, precious metals and industrial metals Soft commodities (renewable commodities) are sourced from agriculture and livestock farming Although a structural rise in commodity prices is expected as demand and production costs rise, the overall price trend is highly dependent on macroeconomic developments, requiring investments to be thought through very carefully.
