New Man Investments product focuses on key investment opportunities of the 21st century
Man Investments today announces the launch of Man Vision Ltd (Man Vision), a capital guaranteed hedge fund product which has been designed to benefit from the key developments of the future. These include the growth of emerging markets, the impact of new demographics, climate change and future sources of energy, all of which offer significant return potential.
Man Vision combines the complementary approaches of two of the world’s leading hedge fund managers – AHL and RMF. AHL employs systematic, statistically based investment processes to identify inefficiencies in over 120 markets around the world. In contrast, RMF applies strategic research and innovation to select specialist hedge fund managers in new fields to deliver robust multi-manager portfolios.
The new product has been designed to offer high security. Both AHL and RMF have a stringent approach to risk – AHL through its several levels of systematic risk monitoring and control and RMF through an ISO-certified investment process. Additional protection comes from a 100% capital guarantee provided by Credit Suisse International (AA-/Aa1) , which has the potential to increase in value by locking in profits made from positive performance.
Man Vision targets an investment exposure of 150% of net asset value. It is managed by Man Investments and allocates equally to AHL and RMF across a wide range of markets and investment strategies. These include Asian and emerging markets, commodities, environmental and energy markets, event driven and healthcare.
"We are seeing significant changes in world capital flows", said Peter Clarke, CEO of Man Group. "Man Vision Index Notes is an exciting gateway to access the new investment opportunities which arise. They come associated with specific risks that require skill and experience to manage. By combining AHL and RMF, Man Vision Index Notes offers access to these opportunities through a single product."
