Culture
Deep Knowledge of Hedge Funds
We understand the complexities of the extensive universe of hedge funds both as a hedge fund investor and as a researcher. Our 34 years’ experience combined with our thorough and detailed investment and operational risk due diligence helps ensure we can continue to identify what we believe to be high quality hedge funds for our investors to access.
Partnership Approach with Clients
No two investors or solutions are the same. We work closely with our clients to select and examine the combination of hedge funds which aim to best complement their existing allocations to other asset classes and which meet their objectives for their hedge fund portfolio.
Detailed Understanding of Risks
As a hedge fund investor, we have a detailed and thorough understanding of all risks at both an investment and operational perspective. Each of our approved managers is subjected to a stringent due diligence process while demonstrating an ability to provide an investment return in line with their own investment process and risk levels employed.
Fully Transparent at every Level
We are wholly transparent in how we work, from each step of the investment process to the use of managed accounts to allow investors to truly understand their positions and how they combine within their portfolio. We actively monitor each hedge fund manager’s characteristics ensuring that any changes over time are fully understood and accepted..
Cost Containment
Wherever possible, we use our scale and experience as an established hedge fund investor to achieve better terms and structures with managers. A dedicated team is tasked with negotiating with our underlying hedge fund managers to ensure our investors receive the best possible terms at every structural level of their chosen hedge fund manager.
Institutional Infrastructure
We are part of Man Group plc, one of the world’s largest alternative investment firms with US$ 178.2bn* under management. While operating independently, this structure brings us substantial financial backing and resources, as well as access to innovations and insights from a diverse range of alternative investment talent.
Experience
Founded in 1991, we have remained a dedicated advisor and solutions provider to hedge fund investing. For over 34 years, we have been working with our clients in a variety of ways, opening up our global resources, staff, data, and analytical tools to clients as an extension of their internal teams.
Investment Driven
Our platform is aimed at sourcing the most talented hedge fund managers globally. Our investment teams are located in Europe, Asia and the United States, giving us a global reach and in-depth understanding of local markets. This enables us to access high conviction managers that may not be available to individual clients.
Technology
We truly believe that a state-of the-art technology platform is crucial to the success of our business. Our institutional risk management framework underpins every aspect of our organisation. This is further supported by our cutting edge reporting and analytics, providing enhanced insight into the performance and risks of investors’ portfolios.
