Potential Capital Gain Exposure: -16% of assets

Morningstar's Take by A.J. D'Asaro 08-04-15 Using liquid futures contracts, Natixis ASG Global Alternatives attempts to replicate the asset class (beta) exposures of the hedge fund industry. Many hedge funds weresuccessful in lurchingoutofequitiesduringthe2008 financial crisis, and management here looks to follow hedge funds’ market-timing cues. The fund appears to be doing its job, with a five-year correlation of 0.82 to the Morningstar MSCI Composite Asset-Weighted Hedge Fund Index and slightly higher returns (5.6% annualized versus 5.2% for the hedge fund index from Q2 2010 through Q2 2015). This fund’s capable team and low fees have earned the fund a Morningstar Analyst Rating of Bronze. The management team, no stranger to complex quant models, is also listed on the Bronze-rated Natixis ASG Managed Futures Strategy AMFAX. Plus, the academically gifted team appears at the forefront of hedge fund replication, led by the firm’s founder, Andrew Lo. In 2013, for instance, the fund began to give an overweighting to recent tactical shifts in hedge fund exposures, encouraging an active asset allocation, which paid off when the fund was able to quickly follow hedge

funds into strong-performing equities. In 2015, management added the two-year Treasury bond as a factor to reflect hedge funds' yield-curve positioning. The fund’s risk controls target annualized volatility of 8%, which is more risk, on average, than peers in the multialternative category. However, the fund also possesses a strict stop-loss policy, which lowers the fund’s market exposure during a drawdown. While this protects the fund against severe market declines, it can work against the fund during temporary pullbacks. For example, as a result of a drawdown in August 2011, the fund sold off equities and missed much of the subsequent 10.9% rally of the S&P 500 in October. However, such setbacks have evened out over the fund’s six-year track record. At a 1.29% net expense ratio for the Y shares, this is much cheaper than peers (1.66% on average). Hedge fund replication is still in its early innings, but this fund is a cut above the rest.
