Alternative asset Trust Commentary for the second quarter of 2024, commentary on hedge funds, private equity, and North American private real estate
During the first quarter of 2024, the Trust was higher by 4.1% net of costs, and this brings the Trust’s annualized rate of return since inception [October 2010] to 9.5%underpins a situation where government spending is leading to unsustainable levels of debt and deficit.

During the third quarter of 2023 the trust was higher by approximately 1.4%. Returns from private real estate and hedge funds were higher during the quarter, and strong enough to offset mixed results in private equity.
