UK based has launched a Dublin domiciled US Small and Mid Cap Equity Fund.

It follows the hire of portfolio managers Thorsten Becker, Arun Daniel and Vincent Rivers and trader Eric Yi earlier this year and the opening of its second investment office in Boston.

The fund has a capacity of $5 billion (£3.1 billion). 

"This fund increases the currently limited options for UK-based investors to invest in US-listed equities via an actively-managed fund. Many investors are underweight small and mid-cap US stocks, an asset class where, with the right investment expertise, the trailblazers of corporate America can be found,"  said Gavin Rochussen, chief executive.
