Comprehensive and Transparent Offering

The financial markets crises as well as prominently publicised frauds (e.g. Madoff) have lead to significant agitations in the alternative investment industry. Today investors challenge more critically the sustainability of strategies, managers and prevailing investment formats. Unrealistic redemption terms resulting in material liquidity mismatch have led to suspensions of redemptions and the introduction of so called gates and side pockets in the hedge fund industry – all of that has upset investors. The sudden presence of unexpectedly high credit default risks of banks, which had given guarantees for structured products like CPPIs, have been adding to the uncertainty.

A dramatic shift in valuation methodology of securities and assets has lead to significant effects on fund net asset values and audited financials. And finally the impending shift in financial regulations in response to events since mid-2008 will have material albeit positive effects on addressing the salient concerns within the investable universe.

Consequently all these events have now led to an increased demand for liquid and transparent investment formats like Managed Accounts, UCITS III funds as well as selected secured product wrappings.
