The two companies, having pooled their skills, expertise and resources plan to establish an event driven special situations hedge fund with a long strategic bias and opportunistic shorting. The fund will in the main target undervalued companies in the natural resources sector as well as seek to profit from shorting overvalued situations or use short positions as a hedge.
The financial and infrastructural support will be carried out by Investec Bank, contributing seed capital, personnel, systems and marketing support. The hedge fund offers a differentiated deal flow, and an investment philosophy to achieve returns throughout the commodity cycle.
The hedge fund is to be led by Martyn Konig and George Rogers, the Fund Advisors are supported by the Commodities and Resource Finance team of Investec, Blackfish Capital Managements Natural Resource team and the Fund’s Advisory Panel.
