Hedge Fund Investment Specialist Sets up UCITS-Compliant Macro Fund of Funds
Stenham Asset Management, a hedge fund investment specialist and investment advice to sophisticated investors, has launched a UCITS-compliant macro fund of funds.
Domiciled
in Dublin, the Stenham UCITS Macro Fund is the group’s second UCITS
vehicle, following the 2013 launch of its Equity UCITS Fund.
Managed
by Akshay Krishnan and Kevin Arenson, the new fund will hold a high
conviction portfolio of up to 10 funds and is distributed throughout
Europe.
“Launching
a UCITS strategy is a natural progression for Stenham,” said Krishnan.
“Up until about 18 months ago we felt the macro UCITS universe did not
offer enough depth for a fund of funds product, but we are now
increasingly seeing top quality managers making the move into UCITS.
“There is no doubt the pool of investment talent on offer has developed substantially in the few years.”
He
said there have been signs of an improving opportunity for
discretionary macro trading as foreign exchange and interest market
volatility has picked up in the last few months, thus forming “an
opportune time” in the market to launch this latest strategy.
The fund has a minimum investment of £25,000 and a subsequent investment of £5,000.
