Zurich alt manager Infiniti Capital has acquired Australian alternative fund specialist Martini Capital. Martini services a range of private and institutional investors through managed accounts, open ended funds, structured notes and collateralized fund obligations (CFOs). The acquisition is a good fit not least because Martini has a strong quantitative focus whereas Infiniti is known for its qualitative manager selection processes. Infiniti recognises the potential for alternate assets in the Asia which presently allocates to around 20 Asian emerging managers. The company is expected to announce the opening of a New York office later this year.
