Currently, the company manages two vehicles with a particular emphasis on active commodity strategies on a global basis. These vehicles include one dedicated to commodities and one dedicated to global power trading. ACIM manages capital on behalf of institutional investors, family offices, and high-net-worth individuals. Investment Philosophy AC Investment Management’s hedge fund of funds prod- ucts invest across the commodities spectrum, including agriculture, energy, softs, livestock, and metals. AC Investment Management focuses on identifying the premier specialist traders in niche commodity markets. Also critical is the identification of markets that are likely to provide future trading opportunities, as well as AUM appropriate for the underlying markets in which the man- agers trade. All trading is fundamental and discretionary. The Fund of Funds products are actively managed and operate as a hybrid of single- and multi-manager prod- ucts. AC Investment Management invests via an internal, separately managed account platform that provides a high level of transparency into the majority of the under- lying funds. This allows for a significantly increased level of monitoring and risk management that is not possible in the traditional fund of funds methodology of investing in co-mingled hedge fund vehicles.
