Portfolio manager Uys Meyer told Opalesque about BlueAlpha’s new launch.

BlueAlpha Investment Management rolled its agricultural commodity trading strategy into a new fund, the PolarStar Fund, last month with AUM of $9m.

BlueAlha has been managing the strategy for the last 2.5 years achieving annualized returns in excess of 30%. The fund trades in agricultural product financial contracts listed on regulated global commodity exchanges. The PolarStar Fund employs a fundamental and relative value investment process, driven by supply and demand. The strategy will trade intra- and inter commodity and exchange spreads. Down-side risk is minimized by the active management style of the fund.

BlueAlpha Investment Management is based in Cape Town, South Africa. It is an owner managed investment firm, currently managing assets in excess of R2bln on behalf of a broad range of institutional and high net worth clients, in both hedge fund and unit trust products. BlueAlpha’s other hedge funds are the MayFlower Fund, the Flying Cloud Fund, and the Anthem Fund. Corporate website: Source
