Swiss FoHFs house Harcourt’s AuM increased to $4.7bn in H1-2010

Monday, August 30, 2010
Opalesque Industry Update - Harcourt Investment Consulting AG, the Switzerland-based global alternative investment solutions provider, announces that assets under management as of 30 June 2010 have reached USD 4.7 billion, corresponding to a growth of USD 200 million for the first half of 2010.

[Harcourt’s AuM were at $3.9bn in the first half of 2009, $4.5bn at the end of 2009.]

The asset increase derives from existing as well as from new clients. The majority of these inflows were originated from institutional clients.

Furthermore, the firm launched Belmont Commodity Trading, a commodity FoHF fully dedicated to investing in natural resources fund managers, in partnership with AC Investment Management LLC.
