Dubai: Arqaam Capital, the specialist emerging markets investment bank, said on Monday it 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, and top-tier international investment banks and leading hedge fund managers. The fund will be managed by Areski Iberrakene as Chief Investment Officer.
“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 in a statement.
“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,” he added.
