The Palaedino Fund (UCITS IV) and Sabre Fund Management Limited (Sabre) have launched the Sabre Dynamic Equity Fund.
Sabre Dynamic Equity is a quantitative Long/Short Equity Fund that invests across a broad universe of 800 large/midcap European stocks and 500 large-cap US stocks.
The strategy achieves its performance from exploiting systematic inefficiencies in equity returns driven by typical investor behaviour. The new UCITS Fund is a mirror of the Cayman Fund that Sabre has been managing since early 2013. The Fund provides investors with a defensive equity product, with a flexible range of -30/+80% net exposure. Since the inception of this strategy, the average net adjusted beta exposure has been around +10%.
The Fund is managed by the multiple awards winning investment team at Sabre, lead by Dan Jelicic.
Alessandro Mauceri, Chairman of the Palaedino Fund Board, says: “We are excited to on-board Sabre as a new fund on our UCITS umbrella. The investment manager is well-recognised as one of the leading names in European quant investing and is one of the longest standing hedge fund management companies in Europe. We are thrilled about this new collaboration which marks a new milestone as this is the first single
hedge fund strategy plugging into our UCITS umbrella.”
Melissa Hill, CEO of Sabre Fund Management Limited, says: “We are delighted to launch the Dynamic Equity strategy in UCITS format in response to investor demand. We believe that our low beta strategy offers investors exposure to equity upside when markets are rising but also, with the Fund’s ability to go net short, will be able to generate alpha from downside opportunities too.”
This is the seventh Fund of the Palaedino UCITS Platform, a Luxembourg SICAV established in November 2009. The Management Company of the Platform is FundPartner Solutions (Europe) SA, a 100% affiliate of the Pictet Group based in Luxembourg.​
