INews Says Alts Need More Due Diligence

News summary by MFWire's editors

Investors are loving alternative mutual funds and fund firms are feeding their appetite.

Industry insiders warned against viewing alternative investments as a "panacea" during InvestmentNews' webcast, "Why alternatives, why now."

Zoe Brunson, director of investment strategies at Genworth Financial Wealth Management [profile] , was quoted as saying that investors should take a close look at managers. Shagrin quotes Brunson as saying, "Fundamental long-term managers have a culture. Long-short managers have a culture. You don't switch because it becomes fashionable overnight."
