The 3rd Stream® is a unique approach for income, protection and growth. For the majority of investors, the underpinnings of the current market seem increasingly fragile. New regulation, higher taxes, growing public debt, job losses and tight cash flow have many investors cowering from the next bubble or crisis. After a wild ride, interest rates and dividends aren’t providing income the way they once did. Many investors are in a very tough spot. 3rd Stream® is a time-tested, client-focused strategy that combines the transparency of a separately managed account, the risk-adjusted return of many hedge funds, and the liquidity and low cost of a mutual fund. The 3rd Stream portfolio is designed to reduce risk when times are tough and still pay off handsomely when markets are buoyant.
