The fund, Man MGS Access Series 2 Ltd (Access), will be offered in two bond classes, both targeting a moderate level of 8-10% annualised volatility.1 The USD bonds will aim for annualised returns of 13-16% and EUR bonds will target annualised returns of 11-14%.1 Investors will also benefit from a capital guarantee from Citibank, N.A., London Branch2, and a profit lock-in feature3.
Only managers that are highly-rated by Man Global Strategies ('MGS'), a core investment manager of Man Investments, will be considered for inclusion in the portfolio, comprised of about 15 hedge funds. MGS has negotiated favourable terms with these managers, several of which are closed to new investors. These terms include increased levels of reporting, the flexibility to adjust the amount of money invested with the manager, and bespoke managed accounts.
In a managed account, MGS maintains control over client funds and receives comprehensive trading data for all its investments. This high level of transparency, supported by regular contact through a dedicated relationship management team and a strong due diligence process, allows MGS to actively manage the concentrated portfolio.
"The quality of the managers in the Access portfolio and the high level of transparency that we have into their daily operations gives us the confidence to offer such a concentrated and dynamic portfolio," said Antoine Massad, Chief Executive of Man Investments Middle East. "This has allowed the structuring experts at MGS to develop a product that offers the potential for strong capital growth and diversification with the security of a capital guarantee."
Man MGS Access Series 2 Ltd will be open for investment from 29 January 2007 to 12 March 2007.
