New York (HedgeCo.net) – Heptagon Capital, a $3.6bn specialist asset management business set up in 2005, has launched the Helicon Fund, an internally managed UCITS III structure product.
Incorporated in Ireland, the Helicon Fund is listed on the Irish Stock Exchange with daily liquidity in its US Dollar share class. The new hedge fund is being managed in-house by two seasoned professionals with over twenty-five years of combined market experience in equities.
The fund aims to deliver consistent and sustainable absolute long-term returns by investing in a concentrated portfolio of global equities. In addition, the Fund will apply a hedging overlay strategy to actively manage market exposure.
“We believe that the launch of the Helicon Fund marks a new and exciting development for Heptagon Capital.” the Heptagon Partners said, “The Fund helps broaden the suite of products available to investors at Heptagon and we feel that the approach taken by the Fund’s managers constitutes a clearly thought-out strategy that is differentiated and capable of delivering compelling returns.”
The fund will be managed by Arnaud Gandon and Alexander Gunz. Arnaud, Heptagon’s Chief Investment Officer, was previously Head of Global Equities at UBP where he managed over $400m of assets with an audited five-year track record of over 11% annualised returns with c 10% volatility. Fund Manager, Alexander Gunz, held senior roles at firms including Credit Suisse and JP Morgan before joining Heptagon in January 2011.
