Investcorp is set to unveil a series of portfolios that will provide exposure to hedge fund strategies through a systematic trade-based implementation process, Risk.net reports. The initial set of launches will be focusing on five hedge fund strategies, convertible arbitrage, distressed debt, fixed income arbitrage, quantitative equity market neutral and merger arbitrage. The firm’s systematic funds will charge lower fees and offer more liquidity and transparency than traditional hedge funds. The funds are expected to launch in the second half of 2011. Investcorp’s hedge fund business has nearly $4.7 billion in assets under management across its single-manager platform, customized managed accounts and funds of hedge funds.
