 Man Fund Management Schweiz AG, a Swiss-registered firm which is part of Man Group plc, has launched Man Multi-Strategy CH Fund, a retail fund of  funds registered under Swiss law as a fund with special risks and targeting medium-term annualised growth of around 12 per cent.


Christoph Moeller, Man’s Chief Executive Officer in Switzerland, said: "The Man Multi-Strategy CH Fund offers investors access to the impressive performance potential of the Man Multi-Strategy product in an innovative open-ended product."


Mr Moeller added: "Investors have again come to recognise the valuable diversification benefits alternative investments can offer an investment portfolio, particularly in the turbulent markets we are seeing."


The new fund of funds provides investors with access to a diversified portfolio of investment strategies implemented by a number of carefully selected advisers. The ability of the Man Multi-Strategy portfolio to generate returns and protect investors’ capital during difficult market conditions for traditional assets has been highlighted by the performance of Man Multi-Strategy Guaranteed Limited, the first product in the family.


As at 31 December 2002, Man Multi-Strategy Guaranteed Limited had substantially outperformed traditional investments, producing an annualised return of 13.9 per cent since inception compared to -18.5 per cent for world stocks and 9.2 per cent for world bonds over the same period.


Minimum subscription in Ma Multi-Strategy CH Fund is Euro 10,000 with minimum additional subscriptions of Euro 1,000. The Custodian is the Zurich branch of Société Générale and the investment manager is Man Investment Products Limited.
