John Locke Investments, the independent CTA operating out of Fountainebleau, this week announced the launch of an onshore replication of its flagship Cyril Systematic Program. Entitled the Cyril Systematic Fund, it gained approval from French regulators recently and has EUR30million in AUM, offering investors access not only to a CTA strategy first created by CEO and founding partner, Francois Bonnin (pictured) back in 2000, but also daily liquidity. Whilst commenting that CTAs had “proved their value” within investor portfolios over the last 30 years, in particular during the global financial crisis, Bonnin said that JLI’s strategy was well suited to the UCITS structure. “UCITS investors now have access to a strategy that has delivered consistent non correlated returns to investors over the last 11 years,” said Bonnin. JLI hopes to expand its investor base in Europe and Asia following the launch of the UCITS vehicle.
