Unlimited, an investment firm co-founded by former Bridgewater Associates executive Bob Elliott, is planning to launch a new tech-driven multi-manager-style hedge fund replication strategy, according to a report by MarketWatch.
The report cites an unnamed source with knowledge of the matter as revealing that the new ‘Agile Replication’ strategy will use technology to make allocations to a range of replicated hedge fund investment styles and will use AI to systematically shift allocations across major asset classes including stocks, bonds, fixed income, corporate credit and currencies, in response to macroeconomic conditions.
According to MarketWatch’s source, Unlimited will start running the strategy, which has been designed initially for institutional investors, later this month.
In October 2022, Unlimited launched the Unlimited HFND Multi-Strategy Return Tracker ETF HFND, an exchange-traded fund that uses machine learning to track aggregate hedge-fund returns gross of fees, while a prospectus filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission in August showed the was preparing to launch ETFs with similar return characteristics of individual hedge-fund strategies, including equity-long-short, global-macro, event-driven, emerging-markets and managed-futures.
