C000224282 Investment Objective and Strategy
Easterly EHS Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by James Alpha Funds Trust.
Investment objective
The Fund seeks attractive long-term risk-adjusted returns relative to traditional financial market indices.
Principal investment strategy
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by attempting to outperform the returns of a variety of hedged equity investment strategies. A hedged equity investment strategy typically involves establishing both long and short positions in equity or equity-linked instruments. A hedged equity strategy also may seek to manage risk by adopting ?top-down? constraints on leverage, limits on net market exposure, net regional exposure and net sector exposure, position size limits, position stop-loss limits and parameters relating to the number of its positions. The Fund will seek to outperform the returns of various hedged equity investment strategies, such as, among others, equity market neutral, fundamental growth, fundamental value, quantitative directional strategies, short bias, and sectors such as energy, materials, technology, and healthcare.
The Fund expects to gain exposure to these asset classes primarily through exchange-traded products such as exchange-traded notes (?ETNs?), exchange-traded funds (?ETFs?) and mutual funds, including affiliated funds, although the Fund may invest directly in currencies, equities and fixed income securities. The Fund also expects to invest in derivative instruments to gain exposure to one or more asset classes, individual investments or investment strategies. The derivatives instruments that may be utilized by the Fund include options, futures, options on futures, forward contracts and swaps. Derivatives may also be used to generate leverage, seek to profit from the underlying asset?s price fluctuations, or hedge the Fund?s exposure to an asset class, individual investment or group of investments.
The Fund?s equity exposure may include exposure to both U.S. and non-U.S. common stocks and preferred stocks of any size market capitalization. The types of swaps in which the Fund may invest include, among others, total return, index and credit default swaps. The Fund may also invest in swaps having payments linked to the returns of indices, individual securities or pooled investment vehicles, including limited partnerships, limited liability companies, offshore corporations and commodity pools (collectively, ?Underlying Pools?). There is no limit on the Fund?s exposure to foreign companies, which may include exposure to emerging markets. In constructing the Fund?s investments, the Adviser employs proprietary techniques and models to evaluate the drivers of performance of private funds that utilize hedged equity strategies.
The Adviser then identifies investments that it believes have similar drivers of performance to attempt to produce returns that correlate with, but are not identical to, the returns of the private funds tracked by the Adviser. The Adviser then determines the appropriate percentage that each particular investment strategy should represent of the entire Fund and weights the exposure to that investment strategy accordingly. The private fund returns on which the Adviser?s models are based are pulled from various sources and do not represent the returns of the entire private fund universe. The private fund returns tracked by the Adviser, the factors driving those returns and the percentage weightings assigned by the Adviser to each investment strategy are all expected to change over time. Under normal market conditions, the Fund generally invests in a combination of over 75 individual investments, including primarily exchange-traded products and mutual funds.
