Lyxor Asset Management (Lyxor) and Och-Ziff Capital Management (Och-Ziff) have launched the Lyxor/OZ US Equity Opportunities Fund on Lyxor’s alternative UCITs platform.
The launch of this new US long/short equity strategy makes Lyxor the eighth alternative manager on the platform.
The Fund focuses on long and short investment opportunities in the US equity market, with the aim of producing positive, absolute returns with low volatility. The investment strategy employs an opportunistic approach that fuses deeply-researched, proprietary, long-term fundamental views with process-oriented expertise in corporate actions/events. The approach seeks to take advantage of mis-pricings in situations involving various types of corporate actions, including mergers, spin-offs, management changes and recapitalisations.
Founded in 1994, Och-Ziff is a USD44.4 billion institutional alternative asset manager who has invested in equities since its inception 21 years ago, and has extensive expertise in fundamental investing, event- driven situations and merger arbitrage. The firm has a team of 23 US equity investment professionals.
The Fund, which is now passported into 10 countries, is available on Lyxor’s Alternative UCITS Platform for a minimum subscription amount of USD10,000. Not all share classes are available or registered for sale in all jurisdictions.
