Alternative strategy funds aim to achieve absolute returns , focusing on positive returns under various market conditions rather than comparing performance to a benchmark index. These strategies often include hedge funds and alternative mutual funds, using techniques like leverage, short selling, and derivatives to manage risk and enhance returns. The goal is not necessarily to outperform an index (as in option A) or match inflation rates (option D) but to deliver consistent positive returns.
