VIVARIS CAPITAL, LLC WEIGHS IN ON BANNER YEAR FOR HEDGE FUNDS

January 25, 2023

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – 2022 was a banner year for hedge funds and there is no shortage of global news headlines reporting on their remarkable returns. The S&P was down 19 percent last year due to inflation, rising interest rates, war in Europe, and concerns about a global recession. The NASDAQ was down 30% and many blue chip tech stocks performed even worse. NASDAQ reported that 2022 was the “worst year for U.S. equities since 2008, with nine of 11 sectors finishing in the red.”

According to J. Christopher Mizer, Founder and CEO of Vivaris Capital, LLC, a multi-strategy fund manager offering hybrid hedge and private equity structures, certain hedge fund strategies are well-positioned for continued success at a time when it appears that the classic 60/40 portfolio model is not meeting investors’ needs.

“We’re seeing renewed investor interest across the board. In today’s dynamic market environment, the time is right for many investors to turn to opportunities in alternative assets. While historically, alternative investing was popular only with institutional investors such as pension funds, endowments, and foundations, more recently several new alternative funds and direct investment opportunities have launched for individual investors and family offices,” Mizer said. “Modern portfolio analysis and historical performance indicates that most investors are under-invested in alternative assets, like private equity, real estate, commodities, emerging markets, and other, uncorrelated asset classes. That’s why we are seeing many of the leading institutional investors increasing their allocations to alternative assets on a global basis,” he added.

Vivaris Capital’s VICAN Fund is one example of an alternative investment strategy that offers investors’ access to institutional-quality private equity investments with high-growth, high-return potential while securing their principal and providing liquidity. It aims to be the disruptor that individual investors, family offices, and smaller institutions need.
