Arqaam Capital launches global macro hedge fund

DUBAI, March 27, 2017

Arqaam Capital, a specialist emerging markets investment bank, has launched a global macro multi-asset fund as part of its growth-led strategy and diversification into the alternatives space.

The Arqaam Global Macro Fund (AGMF) is a global macro systematic fund invested in liquid and transparent global markets. It has its origins in a combined technology and trading experience, acquired by team members over decades at Arqaam Capital, Areski Capital LLP, and top-tier international investment banks and leading hedge fund managers. The fund will be managed by Areski Iberrakene as chief investment officer.  
Iberrakene has a proven track record of more than 20 years across all asset classes and geographies.

“The launch of Arqaam’s global macro fund is yet another key milestone for our alternative investments business as we continue to implement our diversified model and growth-led strategy,” said Dennis Wijsmuller, group chief operating officer of Arqaam Capital. “The current turbulence in global markets is making it quite difficult for investors to generate attractive returns without having to weather higher volatility. Our fund leverages global macro trends with a flexible and dynamic multi-asset portfolio that aims to generate positive returns in different market conditions and provide investors with solutions to their investment objectives in all market environments.”

AGMF aims to deliver an all-weather multi-strategy combining three core strategies, each one with a different risk-return sensitivity to various market cycles. Risk premia investing captures the excess returns from being exposed to certain market risks across major asset classes and risk factors while relative value investing results from pricing discrepancies between related or correlated securities. Tail Risk Investing generates significant returns in periods of market dislocation, Arqaam Capital said. – TradeArabia News Service
