The fourth fund on Matrix’s UCITS platform was launched this week: the Cantab Quantitative UCITS Fund, a systematic global macro fund. As with most onshore alternative UCITS, it will seek to replicate the performance of its offshore counterpart; namely the CCP Quantitative Fund. Matrix Money Management Limited will use the UCITS platform to support the fund’s operational, risk management and regulatory requirements with Cantab Capital Partners acting as investment manager to the sub-fund. Cantab is based in Cambridge. It was established in 2006 by Dr Ewan Kirk, Erich Schlaikjer and Chris Pugh and currently runs USD1.7billion in AUM. “The Cantab team have an outstanding track record and with the launch of the Cantab Quantitative UCITS Fund their expertise will now be accessible to a much broader investor base,” said Matrix Asset Management CEO, Angus Woolhouse (pictured). Cantab’s CIO/CEO, Dr Ewan Kirk, said that the firm was delighted to be working with Matrix and praised its robust infrastructure. “We have seen an increased demand from investors for institutional quality products that would diversify their exposure to traditional investments,” said Kirk, adding: “We are pleased that we can offer Cantab’s tested rigorous research and industrial strength infrastructure to a wider base of onshore investors.”
