Investment Week – Castlestone Management is set to launch a hybrid fund investing in both equities and hedge funds.
The group claims managed futures have maintained decent returns throughout the market turmoil and predict the asset class will work well in tandem with equities, which have yet to see a turnaround.
Managed futures use trading processes to access the global futures markets.
Castlestone is currently testing the market appetite for the Defensive Equity fund, with a view to launching the vehicle at the end of January.
