DBi

When I first met Mathias Mamou-Mani over seven years ago, he introduced me to the vision Andrew Beer and him had for DBi – to reshape hedge fund investing by making it more accessible and investor-friendly. The more due diligence we conducted, the more we became convinced that this wasn’t just an ambitious idea, but a promise to democratise strategies that were once reserved for a select few. Today, that promise has turned into an extraordinary success story. Since we partnered with DBi in 2018, the firm has grown from managing $249 million to an impressive $3 billion in AuM as of Q4 2024. As Mathias recently explained: "DBi’s funds stand out because we bring the benefits of hedge fund investing – diversification, downside protection, and non-correlated returns – without the traditional drawbacks of high fees, lack of transparency, and illiquidity. Our investment philosophy centers on democratising access to sophisticated strategies. We believe that investors should be able to achieve hedge fund-like outcomes without paying the hedge fund price tag." In today’s complex market environment where traditional asset classes face significant headwinds, DBi’s approach to Managed Futures provides a vital source of stability and diversification for investors.

Re #CTAs, #hedgefunds and #etfs: A new episode of Top Traders Unplugged where I join the incomparable Niels Kaastrup-Larsen of DUNN Capital Management, LLC and Tom Wrobel of Societe Generale. Key topics: - Tom provides great historical data on constituents and average fee levels in SG's industry leading #hedgefund index - Deep dive on the replication-based index from SGi/DBi, how it works, why it may be better suited to the #wealthmanagement industry and how it might help to grow the pie - Further discussion of a forthcoming replication-based #index that excludes commodities and may address untapped investor demand - What we know and don't know about BlackRock's forthcoming ETF, and what it may mean for the space - How a shift in narrative to emphasize that "price moves are a window into shifts in information" may help to expand the investor base, with reference to discussions with Graham Robertson of Man AHL, Nick Baltas of Goldman Sachs and opinion leader Robert Carver.

Last month was a very busy time for both our sales team and Mathias Mamou-Mani from our Partner DBi. As the photos below show, he presented to clients across Europe in Monaco, Paris, Geneva and Lisbon and also visited Zurich earlier in the month. Mathias explained why investors are considering liquid alternative solutions in the current environment where many are looking for alternatives to credit. He also discussed the best way to get exposure to the overall hedge fund universe. He is pictured here with Marta Oudot in Monaco, Matthieu Beyler and Myriam BENYOUSSEF in Geneva and Patricia Martín in Lisbon.

The necessity of alternatives in an investor's portfolio is now an established fact. Many portfolio managers learned this lesson the hard way when bonds and equities began to exhibit a positive correlation in early 2020, eroding the traditional diversification benefits. Even if your portfolio already includes alternatives, the ???????? ?????? ?????????????? ?????????????? ?????? (????????) may offer a distinct edge. DBMF seeks to consistently deliver over 2x the alpha compared to other alternatives and maintains a negative correlation to the S&P 500. Our latest video delves into why we believe DBMF stands out in the alternatives space: ???????????????????? ????????-???????????????? ??????????????: With robust Sharpe and Sortino ratios, DBMF may add meaningful value to any portfolio. ???????????????????????? ????????????????????: From navigating the pandemic to the inflationary challenges of recent years, DBMF has delivered absolute annualized returns over 8% with negative correlation to stocks and bonds as of 9/30/24. ?????????????????? ????????????: DBMF provides access to hedge-fund-like returns through a simple, cost-effective ETF structure.
