Morningstar's Take by Jason Kephart 03-31-15 Litman Gregory Masters Alternative Strategies' strong cast of subadvisors has helped it stand out in the multialternative Morningstar Category and earn a Morningstar Analyst Rating of Bronze. This fund of alternative strategies is built to be a replacement for a roughly equal mix of stocks and bonds in a traditional portfolio but with a low correlation to long- only asset classes. As such, it aims to deliver performance similar to a 40/60 benchmark of stocks and bonds over a full market cycle by allocating about half the portfolio to alternative strategies with bondlike exposure and half to more equity-sensitive strategies. Portfolio manager Jeremy DeGroot and the manager research teamatLitmanGregory look forsubadvisors that are comfortable running high-conviction strategies and can pass their due-diligence process, which includes multiple on-site visits, interviews, and a test portfolio. Finally, each subadvisor's strategy must have a low correlation to the existing strategies in the fund. On the bond side, that's led to equal 25% allocations to a global unconstrained-bond strategy run by Loomis Sayles and an opportunistic mortgage-backed security strategy run

by DoubleLine Capital. The equity sleeve is predominately divvied up between an absolute return strategy run by First Pacific Advisors and a merger-arbitrage strategy run by Water Island Capital (20% each), with a newer 10% allocation to a long-short equity strategy run by Passport Capital. Three of the five strategies are similar to what the subadvisors are running in separate mutual funds, like Gold-ratedFPACrescentFPACX.Thosemanagersallhave Positive People scores, an indication of superior manager talent and resources. The diversification achieved through the allocation process has paid off. Only twice since the fund launched in 2011 have two subadvisors lost money in the same quarter. Moreover, the fund has produced the best Sharpe ratio in the category and annualized returns of 8.50% that top 85% of peers from inception through February. Although fees could be lower, this fund is a solid choice.
