Opalesque Exclusive: Swiss alternative investment manager Harcourt launched Belmont (Lux) Asset Based Lending fund on May 1st Harcourt Investment Consulting AG (Harcourt) announced the launch of Belmont (Lux) Asset Based Lending, a fund of funds invested in pure ABL strategies.

The Fund has been developed in close cooperation with IST Investmentstiftung für Personalvorsorge to cover the needs of a conservative institutional client segment, such as pension funds, by applying strict investment guidelines for the underlying funds (the use of derivatives and shorts is excluded; the use of leverage is limited to 10%).

With its broad diversification across multiple ABL sub-strategies, Belmont (Lux) Asset Based Lending offers a stable return profile with meaningless correlation to equity and fixed income markets. The fund’s targeted annualized return is Libor + 250 bps net of fees, with 2.5% annualized volatility. Risks are minimized through careful bottom-up manager selection and a top-down focus on strategies which should perform well in recessionary or expansionary environments.
