K2 Advisors*

K2 Advisors was founded in 1994 to focus solely on hedge fund investing. K2's investment philosophy is centered around a steadfast focus on risk—measuring, managing and monitoring—while seeking to generate asymmetric returns in various economic environments.

A pioneer in requiring the disclosure of portfolio holdings from its managers, K2 has developed an extensive set of proprietary analysis and risk-modeling tools that blend the art and science of manager research with asset allocation. K2 Advisors focuses on delivering a client-centric approach and providing investors with individualized attention and customized programs.
