*Absolute return investing utilizes a variety of strategies that consist of positions in marketable securities that have little or no correlation to the traditional stock or bond markets.   These strategies are designed to capture mispricings between securities of the same or different issuer(s) that may be directly or indirectly related.  Historically, the return volatility of managers implementing these strategies has been comparable to bonds, while returns have been competitive with equities.

The investment objective for the absolute return allocation is to generate consistent, positive returns while reducing the overall return volatility of the Balanced Pool. The Community Foundation of Greater Memphis has implemented its absolute return allocation through the Private Advisors Stable Value Fund, Ltd., a fund of funds vehicle managed by Private Advisors, LLC.  Private Advisors, LLC is based in Richmond, Virginia and provides investment advisory services to institutions and high net worth families.  Private Advisors, LLC currently manages over $1 billion in alternative investment strategies.
