Some of these funds are listed below together with a brief description of their investment objectives.


Important note

 

The information on this page is intended for Pictet clients and institutional investors experienced in investing in hedge funds. This is not an offer (or solicitation of an offer) to buy/sell the securities/instruments mentioned on this page.

Single Hedge Funds

 

The Alphanatics Fund was established in August 2004. It is a multi-strategy, market neutral fund that seeks to maximize absolute return 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. 

 


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.

On 12 April 2010 a UCITS 3 version of the fund was made available to investors.


Absolute return Fund

 

 

 

 

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 annually, 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.
