Hedge funds are a complex asset class. Throughout their history they have, at times, intimidated even the most experienced institutional investors. But today, investable hedge-fund indices make this asset class less daunting and more accessible.
Enter the abrdn Eclipse hedge fund platform. This platform, created in exclusive partnership with HFR, offers passive hedge-fund exposure through physical investments into each of the underlying hedge-fund constituents.
We can offer a variety of flagship HFR indices or build custom indices/benchmarks tailored to your plan's requirements.
