Macromoney, founded in 2013, is a Global Macro fund with Equity Bias
focused on concentrated investments in securities, futures and options listed
on the main stock exchanges.
For achieving absolute returns in all market conditions, we have
developed a proprietary model that applies a quantitative approach to
macroeconomic data to evaluate main economic trends. These trends are then
explored through a bottom-up approach to selected asset classes.
We believe that alpha may only be generated from independent thinking, that is why the 20 years of the fund manager investment experience are complemented by the internet community of financial professionals, research firms and industry specialists that we consider to be an incredible source of investment ideas.
Founded by Pavel Mamai and Anton Zavyalov (ex-Renaissance Capital) in 2014, Promeritum launched its first fund in January 2015. The funds focus is EM Fixed Income with a strong focus on the EEMEA region. Investing on a thematic basis with a strong approach to fundamentals, performance has been strong at over +20% net inception to date. Having incubated the fund for the first year we are now looking to increase assets from the current level of $155m.
Savernake Capital employs a 100% systematic approach to the Foreign Exchange markets, utilising innovative algorithmic technology to combine a number of strategies to trade foreign currencies.
Alongside price information, we utilise external data sources including order book data that we have been working with since 2005. We use this data to build a picture of the market that helps us identify opportunities in developing trends and short-term moves.
Utilising this data alongside our strict key principle of “cutting losers early and letting winners run” results in a positively skewed distribution of returns. This allows us to limit our downside exposure whilst capitalising on upside gains.
We
are an active specialist and alternative asset manager with the mission to
deliver high risk-adjusted returns, diversification benefits, and liquid
products and solutions to our investors.
RAM
is privately-owned, majority held by employees. We take a long-term perspective
and keep in mind the interests of all our stakeholders.
Our
team consists of 39 employees across four offices in Geneva (headquarters),
Zurich, London and Luxembourg. Assets under management as of September-end 2016:
US$ 4.6 bn.
The business was established to take advantage of market disruption faced by many banks to bring transparency in the alternative sector to the benefit of institutional clients, pension funds, and family office investors. CedarKnight launched its flagship fund market neutral investment strategy in April 2013.
The team benefit from a strong background in risk and portfolio management across a range of asset classes using innovative yet low risk trading strategies supported by institutional financing arrangements.
With solid credibility and a successful track record to date, CedarKnight focuses on strategies with sophisticated counterparties in structured finance markets managing gross positions of €100m+ through its investment fund and on behalf European pensions.
ALVA Capital LLP is an investment manager founded in 2014, specialising in disruptive corporate credit. The inspiration for creating ALVA was the realisation that technological disruption is creating value dislocations in the corporate credit markets resulting in superior investment opportunities.
We focus on value driven investments that have been deeply researched and fundamentally analysed. Our investment prerequisite is to always seek a superior ratio of expected return versus downside risk, typically 3x. This ensures risk is rewarded appropriately making idiosyncratic investments, not tied to an index or yield target.
Launched in February, the ALVA Disruptive Credit Opportunity fund’s objective is to generate annualised double digit returns over 3–5 years while seeking to minimise risk. The fund invests globally in corporate credit securities taking both long and short positions. The fund targets value dislocations created in the credit markets resulting from disruption.
