London-based alternative asset management firm Blacksquare Capital has launched the Blacksquare Capital Commodity Fund of Funds, a concentrated long/short multi-manager investment product. The new fund is Blacksquare's third investment product, following the Access Fund, a Caxton Only Fund of Funds launched in March 2006, and the Global Macro Fund of Funds, launched in January 2008.
The Blacksquare Capital Commodity Fund allocates its assets to ten to 15 commodity and natural resource hedge fund managers. The fund's managers pursue directional and relative value trading strategies within the world's commodity markets primarily utilising futures and options, but will also include stocks, bonds and currencies.
Madilean Coen, chairman, Blacksquare Capital, said, 'We see great opportunities in the commodity and natural resource sectors and the Commodity Fund will allow investors to diversify their investment portfolio into an asset class that historically has demonstrated a low correlation to stocks and bonds as well as providing an effective inflation hedge.
'We believe that the meteoric growth of emerging economies such as China, India and the Middle East and their resultant demand for energy, food, and base metals are combining to create a long-term, sustainable commodity super-cycle that may last well into the next decade. The commodity universe is currently producing many attractive investment opportunities when compared to other assets classes that have typically underperformed in an inflationary environment,' Coen continued.
