The following piece on AguasClaras is being published as part of our Hedge Fund Tracker Tool, our daily effort to track hedge funds in the industry.
One rookie Latin American hedge fund shop is hitting rougth seas. AguasClaras Investimentos launched its maiden hedge fund, AC Equity Hedge Latin America (Brazil), a long/short offering, in June.
The fund, which was seeded by Protégé Partners and debuted with US$42 million, has dropped 11.37% through October. While investors may be disappointed about the negative returns, the fund actually compares relatively well to its benchmarks, the MSCI Latam and MSCI Brazil Indices, which dropped 55.3% and 58.1%, respectively, during the same period. It currently manages about US$56.7 million.
AC Equity Hedge Latin America employs a research-intensive and value-oriented approach to investing and its strategy is based on fundamental research. According to the firm’s September investor letter, it began building its portfolio in June with a view that there was some fundamental value being created with the correction of nearly 20% from the highs in the Brazilian markets.
