- FS Multi-Strategy Alternatives Fund Class I (FSMSX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks positive absolute returns over a complete market cycle by actively allocating assets across a broad spectrum of alternative investment strategies with low correlation to traditional equity and fixed income markets. Managed by FS Investments (now operating as Future Standard), the fund employs a multi-manager approach, including sub-advisors selected with input from Wilshire Advisors, LLC, to invest dynamically in strategies spanning equities, credit, commodities, currencies, derivatives, hedge fund-like approaches, short sales, mortgage-backed securities, agency securities, corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, U.S. Treasury futures, non-U.S. bonds, and Bitcoin futures; its portfolio features significant exposure to cash equivalents (such as BlackRock Cash Funds Treasury I), Federal National Mortgage Association securities, and opportunistic long/short positions, classified within the Morningstar Multistrategy category with total net assets of approximately $1.9 billion as of late 2025. Launched on May 16, 2017, and domiciled in the United States, the fund is advised by FS Investments, headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with global operations across 12 offices serving institutional and private wealth clients; Class I shares (CUSIP not specified in public summaries, minimum initial investment $100,000 or lower via intermediaries) target sophisticated investors seeking daily liquidity and tax reporting on Form 1099, with a net expense ratio of 1.72%-1.74% and high portfolio turnover around 768%. Recent developments include FS Investments' 2023 acquisition of Portfolio Advisors, expanding assets under management to over $75 billion (now $86 billion as of September 2025) and enhancing distribution capabilities across private equity, credit, real estate, and multi-asset strategies; in September 2025, the firm announced an agreement to acquire Post Road Group's Digital Infrastructure platform, bolstering its alternative asset offerings. The fund continues to operate amid FS Investments' broader evolution into Future Standard, a global alternative asset manager with 30 years of experience focusing on U.S. middle-market opportunities, maintaining its non-diversified structure and emphasis on risk-adjusted returns independent of broad market performance.
