The Wall Street-listed firm has expanded the range of fixed income funds available through its platform to European investors.

Morgan Stanley has launched the Mariner Investment Diversifying Alternative UCITS Fund on its alternatives platform.

The fund, which will follow Mariner Investment Group's liquid alternative fixed income multi-strategy, will target investment opportunities across a range of sub-strategies. 

It is the latest addition to Morgan Stanley's FundLogic Alternatives Platform, which offers products including passive index funds, structured funds and third party manager-UCITS funds. The platform has around $2.4 billion in assets under management.

“Mariner has successfully traded fixed income and credit hedge fund strategies for over 20 years, demonstrating an ability to perform well throughout market cycles and volatile interest rate environments,” said Federico Foglietta, executive director at Morgan Stanley. 

“We believe that this latest addition to our FundLogic Alternatives Platform will diversify our range of available strategies by increasing our coverage of fixed income-focused managers.”
