BNP Paribas is combining its UK listed Structured Funds under the Harewood Solutions brand.
Through its fund range, Harewood Solutions provides professional investors with timely access to innovative investment themes. Current assets under management total over $1.25 billion.
In 2007, Harewood Solutions launched a string of successful funds based on both traditional and alternative asset classes. Notably, Agrinvest, the soft commodities fund launched last June, has already delivered over 20% growth. The Harewood Solutions team will continue to launch new funds in 2008 that aim to deliver superior risk adjusted performance.
The latest planned offering, Enhanced Property Recovery, is intended to give investors the opportunity to benefit from the potential recovery in UK and European property shares and is anticipated to launch officially at the end of this month.
“Diversification remains a key theme for investors in these turbulent times; the success of our soft commodities fund launched last year is a perfect example of this. Indeed, we are delighted to announce the planned launch of our Property Recovery Fund which gives investors an opportunity to further diversify their portfolios whilst seeking to take advantage of recent distressed valuations in the property sector,” says Stephane Goursat, head of Structured Products Sales, UK and Northern Europe.
BNP Paribas is recognised as a global leader in the Structured Products market.
