The independent German bank Hauck Auftauser has released a statement announcing its intentions to team up with the London based International Asset Management Company [IAM] to offer hedge funds toGerman investors. The hedge fund products would be aimed at both the institutional investors as well as private investors. IAM would work to create custom portfolios of hedge fund products. AufhauserPrivate Banks, targeting institutional and private German investors, would carry out the marketing and distribution of such products.

Commenting on the choice of IAM to develop hedge fund portfolios officials of Aufhauser Private Banks said the decision was made considering the long experience, which IAM has accumulated over the years as an asset manager. IAM has been managing investment assets for over 15 years for institutional and private investors.

There are increasing numbers of alternative investment products hitting the German market. Part of the reason is the relaxation of investment rules and regulations initiated by the German government authorities. Historically German laws have prevented German citizens from putting money into alternative investments such as hedge funds. The tide seems to be shifting lately, such prohibitions are increasingly being eased by German regulatory officials.

Commenting on the new alliance between IAM and Aufhauser bank, the founder and investment director of IAM, Alan Dianogly said the time was right for such alliance, noting that IAM and Aufhauser compliment one another in an effort to distribute hedge fund products to German investors. Alfred Junker, a partner of Aufhauser banks noted, �We believe strongly in the opportunities provided by portfolios of hedge funds, as do our clients�

Mr. Dianogly added, �We feel that the two firms share a common vision by working in partnership with their clients; we are very excited by the opportunities we anticipate arising in both hedge funds and custom portfolios of hedge funds with the recent liberalization of German regulators�.Aufhauser manages over US$15 billion of investor assets, while IAM oversees investment management portfolios of about US$1.5 billion.
