Krusen Capital Management, a hedge fund and private equity advisory firm, has partnered with Atrato Advisors to provide independent research and due diligence for its LionHedge Platform.
Krusen Capital provides advice on alternative investments and access to top managers, targeting independent wealth managers, family offices, high-net-worth individuals, and select institutional investors.
Atrato will oversee qualitative, quantitative, and operational due diligence on the existing menu of managers, as well as new additions to the platform.
Krusen and Atrato will provide complete transparency to LionHedge investors, making its research content available to all clients through Krusen Capital’s proprietary website portal.
Krusen Capital, founded by Charles Krusen in January 2009, currently offers access to 24 hedge funds across the entire range of strategies, four customized baskets, three private equity funds, and two liquid alternative solutions.
Atrato Advisors, founded in October 2008 and led by partners Brian Reich and Janna Sobolev, will support Krusen’s platform through independent evaluation of LionHedge’s managers, as well as ongoing qualitative, quantitative, and operational analysis.
"The partnership with Atrato is an ideal fit for our business, and more importantly, our clients,” says Krusen. “In an exhaustive search evaluating independent research providers, our goal was to partner with a organisation with an expertise in alternative assets, an institutional due diligence process, and an established infrastructure with a highly experienced team. We also needed a firm that provided transparency in its research and takes a boutique approach in providing a very ‘high-touch’ experience for our investors."
"We’re thrilled to be chosen by Krusen for this assignment. Both our businesses operate under the philosophy that alternatives investing should be a highly customized approach, with each client having his own set of objectives and risk-return criteria," says Reich. "We also think that investors, regardless of their size or affiliation, demand total transparency and accountability, particularly in the high-net-worth space.”
