AlphaCentric Fund Listing
From our founding in 2014, AlphaCentric Funds strives to be the alpha-driven future of investing. We seek to offer financial advisors and their clients access to best-in-class, style-forward managers in open-end mutual fund format, the types of products that were once only available to institutions and large endowments. The underlying theme behind all of our products is Alpha, which is a measure of the difference between a fund’s actual returns and its expected performance given its level of risk. Funds that generate positive alpha provide financial advisors and their clients superior returns at the same level of risk as the benchmark, which is often what advisors use for their passive investment approach.

Premium Opportunities Fund Fact Sheet
Seeks capital appreciation with lower overall volatility than the equity market by utilizing a robust, algorithm-driven trading system across a broad options landscape.
Symmetry Strategy Fund
Strategy is a blend of managed futures and traditional exposure designed to create a symmetry of the different return streams.
Typically, traditional exposures do well when companies are experiencing strong cash flows while managed futures do well when we see “crash flows” or risk off environments.
Traditional exposures rely on the manager’s focus on value oriented global equity and bond investments. Managed futures exposures utilize the manager’s time tested trend following (or quantitative based) investment process.
