New Holland Capital's absolute return multi-manager strategy comes to Canada

Friday, January 17, 2025
Opalesque Industry Update - AGF Capital Partners, AGF Management Limited's multi-boutique alternatives business with Affiliate Managers across both private assets and alternative strategies, announced the launch of the AGF NHC Tactical Alpha Fund.

The Fund is an absolute return-oriented strategy that aims to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns across market regimes while maintaining low beta to traditional asset classes.

Managed by AGF Investments Inc., the Fund will invest substantially all of its assets in the New Holland Tactical Alpha Offshore Fund Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company, which in turn will invest substantially all of its assets in the New Holland Tactical Alpha Master Fund LP, a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership, managed by New Holland Capital ("NHC").

"The launch of this fund is the next step in our partnership with NHC as we continue to build and grow our alternatives business and diversify our capabilities," said Ash Lawrence, Head of AGF Capital Partners. "NHC possesses decades of experience in absolute return investing, and we are excited to bring a product to accredited Canadian investors that provides access and exposure to their institutional caliber fund."

The AGF NHC Tactical Alpha Fund allocates to a fund with a diverse range of alternative investment strategies within a risk-managed framework. The fund's structure allows for more efficient use of capital and oversight of total portfolio positions and risk exposures.​

"Absolute return strategies can serve as an effective counterbalance to traditional asset classes in portfolios, helping to mitigate downside risk while maintaining participation in rising markets," said Scott Radke, CEO and Co-CIO of New Holland Capital. "We look forward to leveraging our specialized focus in absolute return investing to deliver these potential benefits to accredited Canadian investors, whose portfolios we believe can benefit from greater access to diversification and uncorrelated investment strategies."

"Alternative investments are poised to play an increasingly important role in investor portfolios given a volatile and potentially more muted outlook for public markets," said Lawrence. "Bringing together AGF Capital Partners' experience and resources with NHC's expertise, we're excited for the launch of this alternative investment product."

In February 2024, AGF Management Limited announced a strategic investment in NHC as part of their strategy to continue growing AGF Capital Partners, AGF's diversified alternatives business.
