Luminous Capital manages two special situation hedge funds. Their three main investment objectives are capital stability, capital preservation and capital appreciation. For capital stability, investments are held in cash to meet short-term funding needs plus the amount of fixed-income (typically invested in tax-exempt municipal bonds) needed to generate the majority of a client's annual cash flow. Capital preservation includes assets that provide an inflation-plus return that will preserve purchasing power for the long-term. Investments include balanced managers, real assets and tactical fixed-income (both domestic and international). Capital appreciation includes assets invested to generate higher returns in exchange for greater volatility. Investments in this category include public equity (directional and hedged), private equity and opportunistic investment ideas (short-term or long-term situations or dislocations that have profit-making potential). The firm's most popular investments include (1) domestic and international equities that are absolute return-oriented (2) domestic and international fixed-income securities that invest in sovereign debt and investment grade corporate bonds (3) inflation hedges (such as gold) and (4) distressed credit.
