| Dear Readers, After a recent bout of selling, the S&P 500 finds itself as the next major US index on the brink of a 10% correction. It joins the comparatively tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite, which has been in correction territory for a couple weeks. Between these stock struggles and near-record-low bond yields, it's become increasingly difficult to find market returns. That's forced the world's foremost investing experts to adjust their strategies on the fly. Troy Gayeski, co-chief investment officer of $7.5 billion SkyBridge Capital, is one notable example of someone getting creative amid slim pickings. He recently shared with Business Insider the less-traveled corners of the market he's eyeing — and broke down a trio of hedge funds he's piling into.
