Hedge Fund Awards 2015

Hedge Fund Awards 2015 www.acquisition-intl.com 79 Corporate Profile AIP Asset Management (“AIP”) is an entrepreneurial, investment fund and portfolio management firm focused on generating superior risk adjusted returns for institutional clients, hedge funds, family offices and high net worth individuals and was nominated for the Entrepreneur of the Year Award 2014 by Ernst and Young. AIP’s Global Macro Fund seeks to provide capital preservation and stable income by focusing on tactical asset allocation across global markets, asset classes and financial instruments with no orientation bias. Global Macro, as a strategy, is a unique diversifier com- pared to other alternative and traditional asset classes since correlations decline during recessionary periods. The correlation of most other asset classes actually increase during recessionary times, reducing your down- side protection when you need it most. AIP’s Global Macro Fund expects to continue its track record of success and will seek to generate superior risk-adjusted returns with lower volatility and low correla- tion to any other asset class.
