Quantek Asset Management, an investment management subsidiary of Miami-based Bulltick Capital Markets, has received what it describes as a substantial long-term strategic investment into the Quantek Frontier Fund from RMF, a core investment manager of Man Investments based in Pfäffikon, Switzerland.
‘The addition of RMF as a strategic investor in the Quantek Frontier Fund is a welcome development,’ says Bulltick managing partner Alberto Franco. ‘RMF’s commitment to Quantek demonstrates its confidence in the investment team’s ability to succeed in the evolving markets of Latin America.’
Hans Hurschler, head of RMF’s hedge fund ventures, says: ‘We have identified the Quantek Frontier Fund as a unique investment opportunity focused on Latin America. We are confident that Quantek’s senior management team supported by first-class staff has a marked potential for generating superior returns.’
Quantek Asset Management is based in Miami, with offices in Argentina, Brazil and Mexico, and currently manages more than USD1bn in Latin American-based strategies. The Frontier Fund deploys capital based on local trading, thematic positioning, global hedging and special opportunities, and the investment team headed by Franco has more than over 20 years of trading and risk management experience.
RMF, which specialises in hedge funds and convertible bonds and also has offices in London, New York, Singapore and the Bahamas, was launched in 1992 and currently manages USD28bn in assets. The Quantek investment was introduced by KPG Investments, a hedge fund consultancy founded in 2000.
