Opalesque Industry Update - Brevan Howard Capital Management LP today announced the proposed listing of a new investment company, BH Credit Catalysts Limited, on the London Stock Exchange.
Fund Structure
Bottom-up catalyst-driven credit trading Style
Experienced Portfolio Management team
Nagi Kawkabani, CEO of Brevan Howard Asset Management LLP, said: “We believe investors will respond well to this opportunity. The credit market is large and there is not enough risk capital available. Brevan Howard therefore believes that the opportunity set within credit markets for a trading strategy is significant. The DWIM credit team has generated consistently positive returns (quarter-on-quarter) since April 2008 across a wide range of market conditions. The team’s strategy (applied to BHCC since June 2009) has acted as a diversifier to other credit strategies by demonstrating a low correlation to credit market movements. As a listed feeder fund of BHCC, BH Credit Catalysts Limited should allow a wider range of investors access to this hedge fund credit strategy.” The bookrunner to the Company’s proposed initial public offering will be Dexion Capital plc and the sponsor will be PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.
