Newedge, a global leader in multi-asset class prime brokerage, execution and clearing services, announced today that the firm has been appointed as exclusive swap counterparty to the EEA Diversified Trends fund.
The fund managed by EEA Fund Management Limited is Irish-domiciled and has been authorised as UCITS compliant.
Newedge offers comprehensive synthetic prime brokerage and clearing solutions for regulated investment products, such as UCITS compliant funds. Newedge caters specifically for the needs of liquid systematic investment strategies by using total return swaps to create synthetic exposure to a financial index. Newedge works closely with other service providers, such as administrators and custodians, in order to offer clients maximum flexibility in structuring products to best suit their own strategies.
Andrew Dollery, Origination & Structuring for UCITS funds at Newedge said, “Newedge is a pioneer in offering innovative UCITS compliant services for clients who are looking to diversify their product range and investor base. Working with leading fund managers such as EEA is further validation that regulated onshore investment products are increasingly important to the alternative investment community.”
Darran Goodwin, portfolio manager at EEA Fund Management added, "We are very excited about launching the EEA Diversified Trends fund in cooperation with Newedge and being able to offer this strategy to our investor base in a UCITS compliant format. We believe the product can add important diversification benefits to many traditional investor portfolios.”
