HedgeWeek – Alternative investment and advisory boutique Penso Capital Markets has launched its third asset management strategy, the Global Crisis Strategy, designed to capitalise on opportunities in the equity, fixed income, commodity and foreign exchange markets.
Penso says its expertise in global risk management enables it to take advantage of dislocations and investment opportunities that typically are unapparent to most investors. The firm, which has some USD400m in assets under management, seeks to exploit opportunities in all asset classes.
‘The Global Crisis Strategy is designed to capitalise on over- and under-estimation of both systemic and inherent risk in a variety of markets,’ says Penso’s lead portfolio manager and managing principal Ari Bergmann.
‘The extreme market volatility, coupled with current and foreseeable economic and geopolitical risk – which exists without regard to strategy or asset class – has presented investment opportunities that we believe we are well positioned to exploit.’
