Swiss-owned hedge fund manager LGT Capital Partners is launching its Crown Managed Futures UCITS Fund to offer a broader range of investors access to its flagship managed futures strategy, which has assets under management of $670 million . CMFU will provide exposure to hedge fund managers trading commodities, equities, fixed income and foreign exchange. Exposure will be achieved via a UCITS-eligible index of - currently - 15 managed accounts, which provide full position transparency and high liquidity, the firm said. “We are launching a UCITS fund in this sector following strong demand from private clients, intermediaries and institutional clients,” said LGT partner Werner von Baum.
