‘Dead money’ for a decade: Why this hedge fund approach may deliver an advantage over bonds

Beer believes these strategies can better counterbalance stocks than bonds during periods of high volatility, thanks to their ability to go long and short across global markets. Nate Geraci, president of NovaDius Wealth Management, however cautions that bonds still have a place in a diversified portfolio and that alternative strategies should not completely replace them.
