Lugano, Switzerland-headquartered Insch Capital Management has launched Insch Insight, a new BVI-based hedge fund. The fund is designed to offer a number of 'protected cell' share classes that enable independent managers to offer their own stand-alone funds within a multi-class structure, the firm said in a statement. The first such manager is London-based Charteris Treasury Portfolio Managers, the sole advisor of the Insch Insight 'Global Macro' share class. Charteris is headed by Ian Williams and currently manages approximately $100m.
Charteris will invest in global equity markets, with particular emphasis on the natural resource sector (gold, oil and metals). As an integral part of the Global Macro strategy, Charteris will also invest in G7 government bonds. All investments in the Global Macro portfolio will be from the 'long' side and no derivatives will be used.
Insch CEO Christopher Cruden said, 'We are absolutely delighted to have Charteris as the first manager in Insch Insight. The reputation, record and reliability of Ian and his team are second to none in the City. We wanted the best for Insch Insight and we got the best.'
