GLENWOOD CAPITAL INVESTMENTS, L.L.C.
When managing fund of hedge fund portfolios,
there is no substitute for experience, expert knowledge and judgment.
Glenwood Capital Investments L.L.C has been selecting and combining
hedge funds to generate strong risk-adjusted returns since 1987
making us one of the most practiced managers of hedge fund
portfolios.
At Glenwood we employ a multi-manager investment
approach to accomplish the objectives of our clients, emphasizing
efficient diversification among a large number of advisers and hedge
fund styles. We focus on selecting talented hedge fund managers
executing strategies that exploit clear market inefficiencies. We
believe our investment professionals have an edge in identifying
managers expert in the implementation of these strategies and in
evaluating their business infrastructures. The managers selected
are subjected to a rigorous due diligence process which results
in a list of approved managers. Portfolios are constructed using
the building blocks of strategies and approved managers with complementary
performance characteristics. Finally, we monitor the managers and
strategies over time and make portfolio adjustments.
We construct portfolios of hedge funds that
target low risk by investing across large numbers of managers that
implement diverse investment styles. This approach is driven by
three core investment objectives:
- To generate equity-like returns at bond-like
levels of volatility;
- To preserve capital over a wide range
of market environments;
- To earn returns that have low correlation
with major market indices.
Success in achieving our clients objectives
has led to robust growth in our assets under management, although
it should be noted that past performance is not necessarily indicative
of future results. Glenwood, now one of the most established fund
of hedge funds managers in the world, advising approximately US$4.7
billion, has a substantial investment team. Our team has extensive
resources in terms of both expertise and manpower. Glenwoods
founder, Frank Meyer, is one of the early advocates of multi-manager
hedge fund investing. Our team is well-regarded in the hedge fund
community for our disciplined approach to due diligence, portfolio
construction and risk management. Our reputation as a value-added
investor enables us to access established and new investment management
talent that we believe to be exceptional. Glenwood is located in
Chicago and currently employs more than 45 people.
Glenwood also benefits by being a wholly
owned subsidiary of Man Group plc, which is one of the worlds
largest companies devoted specifically to alternative asset management
and service. Man Group plc is listed on the London Stock Exchange
