Stockholm-based RPM Risk & Portfolio Management AB, who specialize in running CTA and global macro strategies, have received approval from Luxembourg’s Financial Supervisory Authority, CSSF, to commence marketing their new UCITS fund. Entitled the RPM Directional Fund, the Lux-domiciled vehicle will use a multi-strategy mandate. It was launched in conjunction with Alceda Fund Management SA on 1 September 2011. Alceda, the fund’s management company, will act as investment advisor to the fund. RPM Directional uses a number of different strategies. Trend-following strategies – unsurprisingly given RPM’s experience in the CTA space – will make up the core allocation, with short-term fundamental strategies providing complimentary sources of returns. The portfolio’s allocations are dynamically monitored and adjusted as markets change and different opportunities arise. Currently, RPM advises on assets totalling over USD6billion.
