A former director of the Singapore offices of Unigestion Holdings SA, Stéphane Pizzo, has launched on his own a new company -- Lotus Peak Capital Pte Ltd, also in Singapore, and is raising money for a new fund.

Lotus Peak Capital is bullish on Asia and believes its emerging markets deserve the attention from hedge fund investors as economies bounced back faster and proved sturdier compared to countries in the West due to a stronger and diversified market fundamentals.

This is the likely new trend evolving among international hedge fund managers who are still on recovery mode and developing new strategies to return to higher profitability in the near term, Lotus Peak Capital Pte.’s managing partner Stephane Pizzo told Opalesque.

“There are varied opportunities in Asia. As we continue to find non-equity based strategies, the region now presents the new alpha generation opportunities for investors aiming for the medium to long term,” said Pizzo in an interview. Pizzo formerly led Unigestion Holding SA, a Switzerland-based company that has $10.1bn in managed assets as of April.

He noted that Asian financial markets as well as emerging markets offer very attractive investment opportunities because of diversity, lack of correlation, and volatility in the equity space but also in fixed income and currencies.
