XAIA re-opens funds after significant increase in investment opportunities

Market turbulences in the recent weeks have led to a significant increase of attractive investment opportunities for market-neutral investment strategies. As a reaction to the attractive investment environment, Munich-based asset manager XAIA Investment re-opens its funds XAIA Credit Basis II and XAIA Credit Debt Capital for new investments. Both funds had been soft closed for new investments for several years, as their investment strategies are scalable only to a limited degree.

“The revenue potential in both strategies increases in a situation where the price difference between the investment position and the hedging position goes up, as the revenue from the investment grows higher in relation to the respective hedging costs. Rising market volatility triggers a significant increase of such price discrepancies”, said Ulrich von Altenstadt, managing partner at XAIA Investment.

XAIA utilizes structural financial markets distortions and inefficiencies in both strategies in order to generate stable and sustainable returns. The fund XAIA Credit Basis II invests in bonds issued by corporates or sovereigns and hedges the position at the same time against default, interest and currency risks. In the XAIA Credit Debt Capital fund, the hedging is implemented by offsetting equity positions. The strategies have so far worked out for both funds. XAIA Credit Basis II has generated total revenue of 24.27 percent since launch in January 2010 at an annualized volatility of just 0.87 percent. The fund size currently holds 489 million euros. XAIA Credit Debt Capital has assets of 252 million euros and runs a wider range of instruments. The fund generated revenue of 22.21 percent since launch in September 2011 with an annualized volatility of 2.19 percent (as of March 20).
