A distinctive alternative strategy, LCS is designed to increase the diversity of sources of return and risk in our MLC Horizon and Inflation Plus portfolios. By combining several carefully selected alternative strategies, LCS aims to provide a pattern of returns that is mostly independent of, or "uncorrelated" with, share market returns. We expect this will help to smooth out the pattern of returns in these portfolios.

Our derivative strategies are a combination of distinct risk reduction and efficient asset allocation strategies. The strategies are tailored to each of MLC’s multi-asset portfolios by the Capital Markets Research (CMR) team, the team responsible for managing the multi asset portfolios’ asset allocations. CMR works closely with our specialist in-house Derivatives team, seeking opportunities to achieve higher returns or manage risks using strategies that aren’t available when investing directly in assets.
