The fund has been registered for institutional and retail investors in Switzerland, Austria, Germany and Luxembourg and for institutional investors in Italy.

The fund incorporates environmental, social and governance analysis into investment decision-making, which offers opportunities for long term value creation for both investors and society and reduce the risk of permanent loss within a portfolio, a statement said. As such, the investment analysis will focus on areas such as climate change, emerging markets, scarcity of resources and population dynamics.

The collaboration will provide international investment firms with customised and tradeable megatrend funds and will be available through Alceda’s UCITS platform.

ECPI and Northern Trust both announced collaborations with Alceda earlier this year to create a tradable custom benchmark using the megatrend investment strategy.

Alceda has offices in Luxembourg, Hamburg, London and Hong Kong, which manage over $7 billion assets under administration across a variety of products.
