We provide access to specialised, UCITS liquid alternative strategies that aim to offer the best of both worlds.

The range of liquid alternative funds we offer employ non-traditional investment strategies – for example using leverage, derivatives and selling short positions – in order to harness returns uncorrelated to traditional asset classes.

We believe that diversification shields investors from market volatility. That's why our multi-asset offering encompasses our skills across both traditional and alternative asset classes.
This means our multi-asset strategies are geared to investors interested in protecting their portfolios from the risk exposure inherent in unpredictable market swings, while at the same time stabilizing investment returns.
Higher correlations between markets today require rethinking diversification. Among our asset management firms, we offer innovative, multi-strategy approaches alongside more traditional balanced strategies.

Since 1831, Generali Group has invested into private markets and real assets for its own insurance portfolios to enhance portfolio diversification and pursue attractive risk-adjusted returns. Today, we offer investors this same access to our leading capabilities.
With over 480 investment professionals, our offering encompasses real estate, infrastructure, private debt and private equity direct and indirect investments.
In a world of persistently low interest rates, higher inflation and rocketing public market valuations, having the right mix of real assets and private markets exposure is crucial for defensive, diversified, and stable portfolios. The relative illiquidity of these asset classes offers a more stable and predictable income than publicly traded assets. They also play a crucial role in generating tangible and positive impact for both the economy and societies. We are committed to helping investors access these opportunities to achieve their investment goals and make a positive impact on the real economy.
Investing involves risk, including possible loss of capital.
