From Benedicte Gravrand, Geneva:
Amongst the stars of last month’s 4th Annual Asian Masters of Hedge Awards in Singapore was the well-known Singapore-based firm Artradis; their AB2 fund was nominated twice, once as Best Local Hedge Fund and once as Best Asian Multi-Strategy Fund. Last week, Opalesque talked to one of the co-founders, Mr. Stephen Diggle.
Prior to setting up Artradis with his partner Richard Magides in 2001, Stephen Diggle spent over 7 thriving years with Lehman Brothers, first as Head o the Asian Equity Derivatives Trading Department in Hong Kong, where he lived for five years, all the way to Executive Director of the European Equity Emerging Market Trading Department and other positions in London. Before Lehmans, Stephen Diggle gained wide experience in derivatives and proprietary trading with several major securities firms. He holds a B.A. and an M.A. from the University of Oxford.
Artradis currently manages over US$1 billion in several absolute return funds: the pan-Asia focused Barracuda Fund (+33.24% return since inception in May 02, YTD +1.58%); the AB2 Fund, which is a leveraged version of the former (+44.25% return since inception in July 05, YTD +7.04%); the 3 Asia ex-Japan focused Naga funds launched in October 2005 (a Market Neutral, a Net Long biased and a Net Short biased fund). Atradis also launched the Russian Opportunities Fund in January 2007.
