[yogibearbull]

This fund's derivative strategies were so complex that it couldn't value them properly. It is now liquidating. It will hold millions to settle financial & legal liabilities.

The multi-alternative funds tend to be pricey, complex, and opaque.
They may use combinations of various strategies: long/short equity, interest rate/currency bets, derivatives, commodities, arbitrage, etc.
Many investors won't understand how these disparate strategies interact or the actual risks involved.
To add insult to injury in the IQDAX liquidation, $750M of investor's money is being set aside to cover potential lawsuits.

What is the purpose of such complicated investments? Looks like simple ol’ VTI beat it but it held up in March 2020.
