Schroder Investment Solutions (SIS) has launched the Schroder Alternatives fund.

The strategy is only available to clients already invested in the firm’s model portfolio service (MPS) range.

It will be managed by the SIS team, which is headed by CIO Alex Funk (pictured).

The alternatives fund aims to provide uncorrelated returns to traditional markets by offering investors access to investments that are not directly available on UK retail platforms.
