New York (HedgeCoVest.Com) – Hedge funds Behringer Securities LP and Meritage Capital, LLC have signed an agreement to work together to develop, manage and distribute a series of milti-strategy market volatility investment funds.

Austin-based Meritage Capital has $1.2 billion in assets under management and specializes in differentiated hedge fund solutions for family offices, individuals and institutions. Through this agreement, both firms will leverage their combined expertise. Behringer Securities will lead capital-raising for the funds through its relationships with a wide network of independent financial advisors. Meritage Capital will lead the investment strategy for each fund that they manage.

“We’re pleased that this new venture brings together two senior management teams with a common philosophy for providing unique investment opportunities that support the critical objective of portfolio diversification,” said Frank Muller, CEO and President of Behringer Securities. “We believe that this depth of experience, combined with our disciplined investment approach, positions us to successfully execute our investment strategies.”

This relationship allows us to focus on our core strength – the investment process,” said Alex Smith, CEO of Meritage Capital. “We share a common vision and excitement for the potential of this partnership.”

“This agreement is an important part of Behringer’s continued expansion of managers on our platform, and it further allows us to accomplish our goal of providing financial advisors with access to strategies and solutions that are highly relevant to today’s evolving investment marketplace,” said Bob Aisner, CEO of Behringer. “We are able to offer a broader range of industry-leading specialized investments, beyond our core competencies in commercial real estate, due in no small part to the partnerships we have forged with select managers like Meritage Capital.
