Abbey Capital TrendPlus Strategy (UCITS) launches with support from Waystone
The fund is established on Waystone’s MontLake UCITS Platform, with Waystone – a leading provider of specialist services to the asset management industry – acting as Management Company (ManCo).
The launch builds on Abbey Capital’s long-standing expertise in creating and managing multi-manager managed futures portfolios which aim to enhance portfolios through market cycles and periods of volatility.
Abbey Capital TrendPlus will combine Commodity Trading Advisors (CTAs) trading across a broad set of global financial and commodity markets. Employing a range of systematic trading approaches across global futures and forwards markets, the strategy aims to deliver a complementary, uncorrelated return profile to equities, bonds and other alternative strategies while maintaining a strong focus on risk management, liquidity and portfolio diversification. Investors will gain access to over 200 global markets, across currencies, fixed income, commodities and equity indices.
Waystone will provide a comprehensive suite of UCITS ManCo services – including governance, compliance and risk oversight with Abbey Capital focusing on portfolio construction and investment management.
Mick Swift, CEO, Abbey Capital commented: “Abbey Capital’s TrendPlus strategy marks an important milestone in our mission to make institutional quality investment strategies accessible to a broader range of global investors. This UCITS product reflects our conviction in managed futures, the importance of long term investing and the potential to deliver uncorrelated returns within a strong risk framework.”
