    News & Initiatives

    Committed to improving the alternatives industry, this page features some of our key initiatives, articles published by Albourne or press coverage on Albourne.

    Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

    We are keen to promote the adoption of DEI within the Alternatives Industry and we believe that our clients, and the managers they select, will be better investors when they create an environment which welcomes, promotes, and harnesses diversity.

    Sustainable Investing

    In keeping with Albourne’s mission to make its clients the best investors they can be, we are facilitating clients’ engagement with Sustainable Investing (SI) issues, both as a risk and an opportunity, by integrating SI across Albourne’s services spectrum.

    Industry Presence

    Aiming to improve transparency and encourage use of best practices, Albourne has a strong presence in the industry and spearheads many public initiatives.

    Open Protocol

    Open Protocol is an industry accepted, consistent reporting template for managers’ risk and exposure information, created to encourage transparency and to enable investors to aggregate exposure information at the portfolio level.

    The Shape of Fees

    Albourne has been leading efforts to promote transparency and encourage better-aligned terms which help to achieve a fairer share of return between managers and investors. Central to this goal has been the initiative to focus an industry conversation on the “shape of fees.”

    The Village ➥

    The Albourne Village is a non-commercial website launched in 2000. This virtual community offers its 100,000+ residents the opportunity to read the latest news on alternative investments, browse and post job listings, conferences and courses.
