Manager Selection Services
We have a dedicated team which selects the best hedge fund managers, as well as the best long-only fund managers. This allows us to offer our clientele multi-manager investment strategies.
Overview
Comming Tci Investments has been selecting third party managers. Until recently this activity was solely focused on selecting alternative strategy managers (or hedge funds). The success of this activity triggered Comming Tci Investments decision to extend expertise to traditional fund managers. In both cases, the selection process is identical: an in-depth due diligence is carried out which focuses on qualitative rather than quantitative criteria. Building up strong relationships with managers has steered us away from many industry blowups.
Advantages of Multi-Manager Strategy
The advantage of multi-manager funds is the risk reduction achieved by diversifying across single managers with low or negative cross-correlations. An additional advantage is that because of their size multi-manager funds may be able to invest in hedge funds which would otherwise be closed, or which have very high minimum investment requirements or long lock-up periods.
Style of Investment
Alternative fund managers can employ various investment strategies as a result of their flexibility. The managers are authorized to maintain both long and short exposures of their respective asset classes and to use derivative products.
Absolute Returns
Return objectives of this kind of investment are absolute, independent from the market conditions. Therefore, no meaningful benchmarks apply.
