Jabre Capital Partners has launched the European Credit Opportunities Fund on its JABCAP (LUX) UCITS Platform. The fund will apply long, short and paired trading strategies to an unconstrained portfolio of absolute return opportunities in European corporate credit.
The Fund has the ability to invest in all parts of a company’s capital structure and employs a range of investment instruments, investing across the ratings spectrum.
Jabre Capital Partners has appointed an experienced credit team, led by Farid Gargour and Angus Rosborough who are based at Park Vale Capital, in London. The team of four moved from RAB Capital in early 2016, where they managed the same strategy, generating strong annualised returns over 14 years, and receiving multiple award nominations.
The firm says that the move enables the team to access the investment research resources of the Jabre Capital Group as well as drawing on its operational resources and global client network.
Philippe Jabre, Founder and CEO of Jabre Capital Partners, says: “We are delighted to welcome both the team and the fund to the JABCAP Lux platform. This highly experienced group has an outstanding track record of success and will complement our existing talent and strategies. We see a great deal of opportunity in European credit and we look forward to sharing our ideas.”
Katherine Priestley, CEO of Park Vale Capital, says: "I am pleased to have a successful credit team join us at Park Vale Capital and we are very enthusiastic about the prospects of the new Credit Fund."
