With all competing investment products, from Hedge Funds to Equity Funds, Fund of Funds, Bond funds and Equity funds, which manager is not looking for that edge? for that Alpha…to outperform other funds to attract new capital…to show that extra percent return per year, to make a difference!

What managers need to see and realise is how diamonds, Fancy Color Diamonds specifically, can yield that extra return, without attributing a large portion of capital & assets, and without increasing risk. In fact, diamond investments is exactly the opposite, it is a real asset that over time will actually be non correlated to the general market and will reduce risk. It acts like a hedge.

In most cases the fund manager will not need to get approval from investors. Every fund has a small portion that can be used with discretion by the fund manager. It is this portion, if invested in Fancy Color Diamonds and managed properly can yield that extra Alpha.

Bond Fund with a twist

Take a bond fund for example. we know that once the 80% of the fund is invested in various bond products, and the remaining 20% can be invested in equity. Why not invest that 20% or even 10% in Fancy Color Diamonds? i will bet that if acquired (by hiring a co-manager for that portion) and sold properly, the gain made by diamond trading can give the overall fund performance an extra edge since the bond fund will always be compared to a bond benchmark. Even conservative investors will be happy generating extra alpha without increasing risk.
