Germany – Frankfurt: On Tuesday, October 12th, 2010, Quaesta Capital GmbH launched “Bond Global Select”, a UCITS-III Opportunistic/Macro Fund with daily liquidity. Quaesta Capital has advised the UCITS-III compliant Opportunistic/Macro Fund since 2005, which applies exactly the same strategies and holds EUR 350m of assets under management. In line with its Absolute Return mandate, the fund has produced positive returns in every year since inception, averaging a 14.33% annual net performance with a maximum monthly drawdown of -3.2%. The 5.5 year track record has been audited by KPMG.

 

The stable positive risk-adjusted returns of Bond Global Select are based on turning macroeconomic views into successful directional and relative value trades, predominantly in the fixed income sector. Quaesta Capital opportunistically also uses fixed income-, equity- and currency-derivatives to take positions in the relevant underlying markets. Investment decisions are based on fundamental analysis and supported by a proprietary technology to appropriately time entry and exit points of the relevant trades.

 

“We are delighted to be able to launch the Bond Global Select UCITS-III Fund with seed investments in excess of EUR 100m and offer it to a wider range of investors”, Christian von Strachwitz, CEO and Co-Founder of Quaesta Capital GmbH, said. “Over the past 5.5 years, we have proven to be able to capitalize on macroeconomic uncertainty and produce stable, positive risk-adjusted returns for our investors. Since the world and especially the financial world does not look like a calm and serene place these days, we think that there will be no lack of opportunities in the foreseeable future”.

 

The Quaesta Capital Bond Global Select UCITS-III Fund is targeting investors around the globe, including pension funds, banks, wealth managers, family offices and Fund of Hedge Funds.
