Commenting on the new fund launch, David Armstrong, Managing Director and Global Head of Fund-linked business at Morgan Stanley said, “We are delighted that Davide Serra and Eric Halet have decided to partner with Morgan Stanley to launch their first Ucits Fund. We continue to see growing demand from investors to access absolute return strategies in a regulated, transparent and liquid format. The combination of our Ucits capabilities and the Algebris investment expertise is a unique product, one of the very first sector specialised long/short equity funds that offers daily liquidity.”

Davide Serra, co-portfolio manager and founding partner of Algebris commented: “Algebris was launched in 2006 to provide investors with premier alternative asset management focusing on global financials. We believe the sector offers many opportunities for a long-short equity manager and in particular, the Ucits Fund we are launching in partnership with Morgan Stanley is based on the research process we have been successfully developing for the past 4 years. We chose Morgan Stanley as our partner as a result of their robust infrastructure and the strong relationship our respective firms have developed since we founded Algebris.”
