Opalesque Industry Update - AQUIS Capital announced the appointment of Mike Meier as its CEO and Head of Hedge
Funds. Mike is responsible for the Hedge Funds investment organisation and enhances the

He joined AQUIS after having worked as the Deputy of the Head Asset Management of the Multi Family Office Belvédère Asset Management and prior to this as the Deputy of the CIO of Alpinum Investment Management. Mike works closely with Son Nguyen, Executive Chairman to position AQUIS Capital as a valuable and performing Hedge Funds investment solution partner for professional investors.

The Investment Manager role will remain at Hyposwiss Private Bank Geneva. Both, Hyposwiss Private Bank Geneva and AQUIS Capital formed a close business alliance in offering advisory and customed Hedge Fund solutions to institutional investors, family offices and independent asset managers. "Mike and Son are convinced that the Hedge Funds renaissance has just started. The post COVID-19 investment world is much more uncertain and with lots of dispersion. This is true for bond investors due to ultra-low to negative, but sharply increasing, therefore volatile interest rate environment because of looming inflation. This coupled with skyrocketing equity valuations, elevated geopolitical risks and below average liquidity in global markets, provides a fertile environment for active, liquid and trading oriented Hedge Funds to generate very attractive returns for its investors." The Atlas Global Fund is a specialized Fund of Hedge Funds investing across a wide range of asset classes, sources of return and geographies via a diversified range of liquid Hedge Fund strategies. The Fund's scope includes, but not limited to Long/Short Equity, Long/Short Credit, Global Macro and Event Driven Strategies. This reflects the Investment Managers best liquid Hedge Fund ideas. The Fund aims to deliver wealth preservation during stressed and adverse market conditions and delivers upside potential during benign market environments. The performance objectives of the Atlas Global Fund are to generate high risk-adjusted returns over various market cycles and market conditions, aiming a Sharpe Ratio above 1, while having a low correlation to traditional asset classes, such as equities, fixed income and commodities. The Atlas Global Fund is suitable for investors with a medium-term and long-term investment horizon as alternative diversification to their global fixed income and/or multi asset part of their portfolio.
