Specialists in Alternative Investments

The Altegris team of more than 85 professionals sources, selects and negotiates capacity with private funds, managed futures, and other alternative investments. Altegris currently has approximately $2.55 billion in client assets and provides clearing services to $800 million in institutional client assets.

Altegris has a single focus: helping our investors successfully diversify and grow their assets by providing access to what we believe are high quality alternative investments.

The Altegris Group of Companies includes Altegris Investments and Altegris Funds. Altegris Investments is a registered broker/dealer serving financial professionals as well as individual sophisticated investors and family offices. Altegris Funds is the sponsor of a platform of private funds and managed futures investments designed to access high-quality alternative investment strategies, often at lower investment minimums.

The Altegris Focused Approach

Our sole focus is alternative investments. We believe the complex and evolving alternative investment landscape demands a high degree of specialized knowledge and deep understanding. Our investment process includes what we believe is a rigorous methodology for sourcing, qualifying and evaluating private funds and managed futures investments which may be suitable for qualified investors. Our Research and Investments group also performs extensive ongoing monitoring of the investments offered on our platform. This methodology cannot, of course, remove all of the risks associated with an investment in private funds or managed futures.

Hedge funds, commodity pools and other alternative investments involve a high degree of risk and can be illiquid due to restrictions on transfer and lack of a secondary trading market. They can be highly leveraged, speculative and volatile, and an investor could lose all or a substantial amount of an investment. Alternative investments may lack transparency as to share price, valuation and portfolio holdings. Complex tax structures often result in delayed tax reporting. Compared to mutual funds, hedge funds and commodity pools are subject to less regulation and often charge higher fees. Alternative investment managers typically exercise broad investment discretion and may apply similar strategies across multiple investment vehicles, resulting in less diversification. Trading may occur outside the United States which may pose greater risks than trading on U.S. exchanges and in U.S. markets. PAST RESULTS ARE NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS.
