The Alphanatics Fund was established in August 2004. It is a multi-strategy, multi-manager fund that seeks to maximize absolute return in Euro through investment in 5 to 15 different segments managed by selected Pictet Asset Management investment teams. Investing across both equities and fixed income, it aims to provide a “pure” alpha by avoiding the pursuit of option and exotic risk premiums wherever possible. Thus, exposure to market risk is tightly controlled.
 

Launched in March 1995, the PTF2-Global Value Fund has a track record of over ten years. Initially the fund was only open to internal capital. The structure of the fund was changed at the end of 2002 to allow external capital.

The fund aims to generate high absolute returns and to outperform the MSCI World Index (USD net dividends reinvested) through active long and short positions, principally in developed and emerging market equities and equity index futures.
 

The Corto European Fund was established in August 2006 and is domiciled in the Cayman Islands. Its investment objective is to achieve superior long-term capital appreciation combined with a degree of downside protection. The Fund seeks to identify attractive investment opportunities, both long and short, across a broad range of European industry sectors and countries using a stock-picking approach.

The Corto European Fund primarily, although not exclusively, invests in the ordinary shares and related instruments of European small- to mid-capitalization companies.
 

The Absolute Return Global Diversified Fund was launched in March 2006. It aims to generate a positive absolute return, equal or superior to the EONIA (Euro Over Night Index Average Index) + 4% gross of fees anually, with an ex-ante volatility of around 7%.

It invests in liquid and strongly diversified instruments covering developed and emerging equity markets, as well as fixed income markets for all major currencies, maturity ranges and credit qualities.

The fund also seeks to exploit the added value generated by Pictet's "Best in class" fund managers.
 

The Phalanx Fund was established in December 2003. It is a Fixed Income Diversified Hedge Fund and is managed by the fixed income team. The fund aims to generate an annual return of 5% to 8% with a volatility ranging from 5% to 8%. The fund's portfolio is constructed by wrapping Fixed Income Team investment strategies selected from our range of FI expertise: Duration, Yield Curve, Credit, High Yield, Emerging Debt, Volatility, Relative Value.
