Citigroup Alternative Investments

About Citigroup Alternative Investments

Citigroup Alternative Investments is built upon a history of alternative investment management by Citigroup. Starting with private equity offerings in the 1960s, Citigroup pioneered the first managed futures programs in the 1970s, introduced some of the first structured credit products in the late 1980s and launched its funds of hedge funds business in the early 1990s. Today, Citigroup Alternative Investments lives this tradition by continuing to expand our broad selection of hedge funds, global credit structures, real estate, private equity, exchange funds, managed futures and structured alternative investments for qualified and sophisticated individual and institutional investors.

The products and services of Citigroup Alternative Investments are available to institutional investors and qualified high net worth individuals through our strategic relationships with Smith Barney, The Citigroup Private Bank, Citibank and Citigroup's Global Consumer Bank and Global Relationship Bank. We believe our strong relationships provide opportunities for our clients to work toward satisfying a broad range of alternative investment needs.

We offer a full suite of alternative investment products, including hedge funds, private equity, exchange funds, real estate, managed futures, credit structures, and other special investments. Within each category can be found a variety of diversified investments, as well as style- or strategy-specific investments, to suit the variable needs of different client portfolios. Clients may access Citigroup Alternative Investments products through the creation of separately managed accounts, which enable investors to tailor portfolios as needed to help them meet individual risk/return requirements.
