Aramid launches multi-asset fund
Share
Aramid Asset Management and Thomas Funds are launching the Aramid All Asset Capital Preservation fund. The vehicle is an unregulated exchange-traded fund offering hedged exposure to commodities, equities and fixed income.
The managers can go short as well as long. The long portfolio is designed to benefit from economic growth while minimising equity and deflation risk. It can include holdings from a range of asset classes and regions.
The short book can use hedging techniques including put options and covered calls to protect against market correction.
Sean Flanagan, the co-founder of Aramis, says the fund is positioned to benefit from the Offshore Funds (Tax) Regulation, as long as clients invest before rule changes on capital gains and income tax come into force on December 1.
It is a feeder fund that can be accessed through a Jersey-domiciled master fund. Minimum investment is £10,000 with a 25% performance fee and an annual management charge of 2.5%.
Aramid is an investment and corporate financial advisory firm which provides infrastructure and investor services. Thomas Funds is a specialist risk management and hedging company.
