Catalyst, Aspect Capital Launch Multi-Asset Fund

Catalyst Capital Advisors and systematic investment manager Aspect Capital launched the Catalyst/Aspect Enhanced Multi-Asset Fund (CASIX), which deploys a multi-strategy approach designed to capitalize on investment in non-correlated asset classes.

CASIX combines a long-only traditional 60/40 portfolio that provides strategic exposure to liquid U.S. equity and fixed-income securities through investments in S&P 500 futures and U.S. bond ETFs with a multi asset-based trend-following approach that potentially offers additional value to clients.

The managed futures-based trend following component is historically non-correlated with stocks and bonds, thereby offering additional potential value to clients over traditional approaches.

We believe the use of multiple non-correlated asset classes in this strategy should lead to a more attractive risk-return profile than a traditional 60/40 approach,” said Jerry Szilagyi, CEO of Catalyst Funds.

The fund will trade under the tickers CASAX, CASCX, and CASIX.
