Alternative Income Fund

Read Most Recent Newsletter


The NewGen Alternative Income Fund was launched in January 2019 under Canada’s new “Liquid Alternatives” regulatory framework; i.e. a hedge fund strategy available to retail investors through a prospectus offering. The Fund provides investors with exposure to (1) an actively managed diversified portfolio of dividend/income paying securities with a target portfolio yield of 4-5% (paid monthly); (2) a portfolio of stock-specific Alpha shorts to generate additional return and preserve capital by reducing market Beta; and (3) a multi-strategy overlay that relies on a broad range of strategies and securities in order to enhance yield, generate Alpha, and provide additional diversification benefits to our investors.

The NewGen Alternative Income Fund is offered to Canadian Investors only. US and other
international investors are not eligible.
