Meketa believes marketable alternatives are best deployed with a holistic view of the client’s asset allocation. We help our clients mitigate costly, redundant investment exposures by putting the marketable alternatives program in context of a broader asset allocation.
Our customizable approach to marketable alternatives allows us to work with many different types of clients with varying needs.

Our initial conversation with clients is understanding what role marketable alternatives serve in their portfolio.

We do not believe there is a single “right” method to design a marketable alternative program. Investors can use these vehicles for directional or defensive purposes. Our role is to ensure each piece of the program serves the intended role, supports the overall asset allocation and avoids higher cost redundant exposures.
