The investment was allocated during the fourth quarter of 2013 and is now fully deployed in the Strategy.<\/p>\n<p>Victor Viner, Founder, President and Chief Investment Officer of V2 Capital said,\u00a0\u201cThe latest allocation validates our belief that the V2 Hedged Equity Strategy should be a core equity holding for institutional investors. The Strategy is designed to produce attractive risk-adjusted returns throughout a market cycle.\u00a0 As we move forward in 2014, we are focused on providing our institutional investors with low volatility returns that maximize upside participation while also limiting the downside potential of the market.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The V2 Hedged Equity Strategy combines a long concentrated portfolio of U.S. equities with a custom tailored short portfolio of index options. The equities represent the \u201cbest ideas\u201d generated by the firm through fundamental bottoms-up research while the short option positions are selected based on the current volatility environment. The active management of the Strategy is designed to generate alpha, manage net exposure, reduce volatility of returns, and provide some downside protection.<\/p>\n<p>The V2 Hedged Equity Strategy aims to produce consistent results throughout a market cycle, and tends to outperform the S&amp;P 500 in most market conditions. The consistency of returns is achieved with reduced volatility, which translates into significantly lower drawdowns.\u00a0 The Strategy ranks among the top 9% of all Equity Hedge funds reporting to the HFR database for risk-adjusted returns (Sharpe Ratio and Sortino Ratio) and among the top 17% for annualized absolute return, calculated from August 2010 through December 2013.<\/p>\n<p>As of December 31, 2013, V2 Capital has approximately $431 million in assets under management.<\/p>\n<p>Alex Akesson<br \/>\nEditor for\u00a0<a title=\"hedge funds\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hedgeco.net\/\">HedgeCo.net<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:alex@hedgeco.net\">alex@hedgeco.net<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"hedge fund\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hedgeco.net\/\">HedgeCo.Net<\/a>\u00a0is a premier\u00a0<a title=\"hedge fund database\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hedgeco.net\/\">hedge fund database<\/a>\u00a0and community for qualified and accredited investors only.
