Saturday, November 24, 2018

Macquarie Group has shut Asia's oldest quantitative equity hedge fund after a poor performance in recent years. PCA Investments Holding Co, Ltd, a joint venture between the China Investment Corporation (CIC) and PCA Partners, was a multi-strategy hedge fund that has also closed down. In another major development, JPM Asset Management has liquidated the capital structure-focused mixed-asset fund overseen by Natalia Bucci and Paul Levene.

Investcorp announced the launch of its Strategic Capital Partners strategy, which will focus on minority equity investments in mid-sized alternative asset managers; Crestline Investors raised $600m for new fund; DeVere, which claims to have over $10 billion under advice and management, has officially launched an actively managed crypto investment fund and US investment house Cooper Creek Partners has launched its long-running North America Long Short Equity fund on MontLake's Ucits platform.
