Winton Capital launches two UCITS funds

Friday, June 30, 2017
Opalesque Industry Update - Winton, the British-based systematic investment manager founded by David Harding in 1997, is launching the Winton Absolute Return Futures Fund. Alongside this fund, the firm is also launching the Winton Absolute Return Futures Fund. The fund will be UCITS-compliant and regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland.

The Winton Absolute Return Futures Fund has been designed for UK DC pension schemes, financial advisers and wealth managers seeking conservative capital appreciation with low long-term correlation to equities and bonds. Its investment objective is to deliver positive returns over rolling three-year periods by investing long and short in global futures and forwards across government bonds, interest rates, equity indices, currencies and commodities.

The fund will be available on major UK platforms, with daily liquidity. Winton will apply for its inclusion in the Investment Association's Targeted Absolute Return sector.
