Absolute Return Overlay Solutions: The Best Hope?
Multi-asset absolute return strategies that seek to capture risk premia and mispricings across asset classes are a very good fit for portable alpha overlays, since they provide desirable characteristics such as cash efficiency, liquidity, scalability and diversification.

The authors demonstrate that portable alpha overlays can be implemented with high capital efficiency, without reducing exposure to longer-term strategic investments.
