(HedgeCo.Net) Bainbridge Partners, a London based quantitative investment specialist since 2002, announced today the launch of a multi-strategy, global, equity market neutral investment fund following approval by the CSSF in Luxembourg, late last year.

“LUX MULTIMANAGER SICAV – Bainbridge Equity Market Neutral” (“BEMN”) provides UCITS investors with exposure to short and medium-term systematic equity strategies, implemented using a highly diversified, global (Europe, US and Asia), long/short portfolio selected from a universe of more than 4,000 securities. It is designed to achieve a low correlation to equity markets over the long-term, targeting an absolute net return of 6% – 10% with a volatility of 6% to 8%.

“LUX MULTIMANAGER SICAV – Bainbridge Equity Market Neutral” addresses some of the key challenges that investors are currently facing in global equity markets:

Stretched valuations across global capital markets
Surges in volatility due to an uncertain macro-economic and political backdrop
Unattractive expectations for asset returns in a late-cycle environment
Declining alpha generation across traditional and alternative investment industry
