Of the major current regulatory developments, the EC Directive is attracting the most controversy

PCE Investors Limited, an alternative investment manager representing total assets under management of more than $1.3bn, announced today that it has launched the Gyldmark Liquid Macro Fund. Gyldmark will provide investors with exposure to a pure macro strategy by minimizing other risk factors including illiquidity of investments, lack of disclosure and redemption restrictions as well as credit, counterparty, operational and fraud risk.

Gyldmark will integrate three factors: macro fundamentals (business cycle dynamics, structural economic, social and technological shifts, government policy impact and geopolitics), market themes (commentary, research and professional press, investor perceptions and flows, and key market drivers), and technical conditions (price action, momentum and emerging trends, investor positioning and sentiment data, and stop loss and target levels), in order to identify investment opportunities. Gyldmark will invest in exchange-traded instruments, highly liquid foreign currencies and major government bond markets.

Led by an experienced team of individuals with a proven track record of delivering uncorrelated returns; Mahmood Noorani, Chief Investment Officer; Alastair Hollingdale, Portfolio Manager and George Hatjoullis, Strategist; will provide an in depth marco-economic and policy understanding drawn from their successful history of building and managing trading businesses.

Mr Noorani, formerly with BlueCrest Capital, added: “It was the events of 2008 that convinced us that now is the right time for what we want to do. Our relationship with PCE presents us with an opportunity to achieve our goals.”

Legal counsel to the fund are Dechert and Walkers. Administration is provided by PNC Global Investment Servicing and auditors are Grant Thornton.
