NEW YORK, Dec. 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Credit Suisse Asset Management (CSAM) today released a new paper, Alternative Liquid Trading Strategies: Building Better Portfolios. The paper examines recent advancements in liquid alternative products and strategies, and explores how investors may utilize the asset class to overcome investment challenges in 2015.

Entering the new year, there are predictions of increased market volatility and the continued potential for the Fed to raise interest rates. If these come to pass, fixed income is unlikely to be the safe haven it's been, leaving investors facing significant challenges going into 2015.

The paper examines how advancements in liquid alternatives can help investors accomplish their goals by:

Diversifying a portfolio of traditional assets
Providing new, non-traditional sources of return beyond stocks and bonds
Preserving capital during times of equity market stress
Protecting fixed income portfolios from rising interest rates

The paper can be obtained from the Education section on www.credit-suisse.com/lab or by sending an email to [email protected].
