Templar Capital Advisors and Templar Capital Management are two investment management firms with common ownership, each specializing in acquiring, structuring, analyzing and managing pools of non-correlated assets designed to produce Absolute Returns.

Unlike mutual funds that measure performance relative to a market index or overall asset class, absolute return strategies are designed to produce results that are largely independent of, or have low correlation to, the broader markets.

Alternative approaches, such as absolute return strategies, can potentially benefit clients by helping to lower portfolio volatility

Investments that seek more consistent results over time can help to lower volatility thereby helping investors stay the course, while also assisting them in maintaining their focus on their investing goals in the near term. Over the long-term, this helps improve the possibility of successfully achieving long-term investing goals.

Adding alternative investments, such as absolute return strategies that are designed to have relatively low correlations to broader market indexes can help stabilize portfolio performance over time.
