Many investment firms offer products across a range of investment types, and as a result may devote only a portion of their resources to alternative investments such as hedge funds or managed futures.

The Altegris model is different. As is noted below in the section titled "Our Role," we are not an Investment Adviser. Rather, we act as a Broker-Dealer and Introducing Broker. While we seek to understand your overall portfolio, we don't offer traditional investments. Instead, we devote all of our resources to finding and securing access to what we believe are quality money managers in the alternative investments space, and to bringing these opportunities to our clients.

The alternative investment landscape is growing, and becoming more complex. With respect to hedge funds alone, the sheer number of funds has increased from an estimated 610 in 1990 to over 9,200 in 2006.¹ Styles and strategies are constantly evolving as talented managers continue to innovate and search for new ways of making money on behalf of their clients.

 It is our belief that the complex and evolving alternative investment landscape demands a high degree of focus and deep understanding. We use our significant industry experience, contacts and rigorous quantitative and qualitative analysis to find, select, and negotiate capacity with what we believe are high quality money managers in the alternative investments space.

 In working with clients, Altegris acts in its capacity as a SEC registered broker dealer and a CFTC registered introducing broker. Although we may give advice that is incidental to our brokerage services, we are not an investment adviser. Altegris has entered into selling agreements with all of the investment products that we offer (including investment products of our affiliates), pursuant to which we are paid fees by the investment product or its manager in connection with sales we make. This enables us to offer you products on our platform without charging fees above those charged by the products that we offer.

Altegris may also act as an introducing broker for individually managed futures accounts and to some of the funds we market and, as such, also may receive a portion of the commodity brokerage commissions paid in connection with their futures trading and/or receive a portion of the interest income (if any) earned on an account's assets. Certain commodity trading advisors may also pay Altegris a portion of the fees they receive from accounts introduced to them by Altegris. These arrangements create certain conflicts of interest. Review the Risks & Conflicts section of this website for more detailed information.

Before seeking any advisor's services or making an investment in a hedge fund or managed futures fund, we encourage you to ask questions and carefully read any offering documents, to make sure you fully understand the capacity in which Altegris is acting and the conflicts of interest that exist.

 Altegris can work with you in a number of ways. But whether you are a high net worth individual, representative of an institution or family office, a registered investment adviser or a money manager, our goal remains the same: to build a platform of quality hedge funds and other alternative investments that we believe our clients can invest in with confidence.

We invite you to learn more about our people, and to explore the rest of the website.
