New York (HedgeCo.Net) – $5.8bn hedge fund manager RWC is launching the RWC Global Horizon Fund in June which will be managed by recent joiner Louise Keeling.

Keeling joined RWC in April as a Partner to establish a long only Global Equity team, having previously worked with Jeremy Hosking at Marathon Asset Management.

“Having the investment freedom to carry on managing money in the same manner as I have done at Marathon and knowing that there is a fully functioning operation behind us was a big draw to me joining RWC.” Louise Keeling said, “In launching the RWC Global Horizon Fund we are taking an approach which allows us to make contrarian investments which we believe will create outsized returns for investors.”

The long only unconstrained global equities fund will be launched as a Luxembourg UCITS Fund to sit alongside the $2.5bn RWC already manages across its UCITS Funds.

RWC currently manages it’s $5.8bn across equity income, equity long/short, activist equity and convertible bond strategies.
