Strategy & Manager
Funds Strategy
Alma Platinum IV UBS Multi Strategy Alternatives (“the Fund”) is a “multi-manager” fund, meaning that Alma Capital Investment Management (the “Management Company”) appoints a number of sub-investment managers to each manage a segment of the assets of the Fund (Segment).
UBS Hedge Fund Solutions LLC (the “Investment Adviser”) advises the Management Company on selection of sub-investment managers and allocation of Fund to each Segment from time to time. The sub-investment managers will invest in a wide range of investments, using a variety of investment strategies and techniques. Among these may be :
i) “equity hedge” strategies, where the Fund will invest in shares of companies but use financial contracts (derivatives) to try to limit the effect of negative market movements
ii) “relative value” strategies, where the Fund will invest in across a variety of assets but will try to take advantage of mis-pricing and other opportunities to gain a return
iii) “trading strategies” where the Fund will invest in a broad range of assets (share in companies, foreign exchange, tradable debt issues by companies and governments, currencies) where a sub-investment manager believes that it can achieve a return
iv) “credit/income” strategies where the Fund will invest in debt investments.

Investment Manager's Commentary
as ofFund
Through December, risk assets rallied across the board as investors continued to look past the worsening virus data, buoyed by encouraging vaccine rollouts. The market rhetoric has already started to transition towards reflation and the subsequent risk of rising rates, however, the question remains of how early equity markets will start to discount that.
Monthly Performance:
At the strategy level, positive performance was led by Equity Hedged, although both Trading and Relative Value strategies also contributed positively to performance.
YTD Performance:
YTD, positive performance was driven by Equity Hedged, although these gains were partially offset by losses in Trading. Relative Value strategies ended the year in slightly positive territory, after a solid fourth quarter. At the manager level, the largest contributor was a global event-driven manager, while the largest detractor from performance was a European Equity Hedged manager.
Performance Contributors:
MTD through December, the largest contributor to performance was a China-focused manager, which benefitted from the continued rally in Chinese equities on the back of strong economic momentum, given the early rebound from virus disruption compared to the rest of the world
Performance Detractors:
There were no detractors from performance for the month
Current investment strategy
We are very excited about the prospects for 2021; in comparison to early 2020, we now have a wider range of strategies to choose from as opportunities present themselves. In addition, we are working to on-board four new strategies, to further improve the portfolio’s balance and capture an expanding opportunity set, especially in Equity Hedged
