Hedge Fund Awards 2016

http://www.acquisition-intl.com/hedge-fund-awards 48 ~ Emerging Hedge Fund Manager of the Year - USA & Best Emerging Multi-Strategy Fund (Since Inception): Boothbay Multi Strategy Fund Boothbay Absolute Return Strategies LP is a market neutral Multi-manager Multi-strategy fund targeting traditional and non-traditional sources of Alpha, designed to deliver uncorrelated downside protected returns. We invited Freder- ick Richardson to provide us with an eye-opening insight into their award winning flagship fund. Boothbay Multi Strategy Fund, our flagship fund, produces consistent Alpha which has led to a streak of 13 months of consecutive positive returns. In order to maximise returns for investors we believe in structurally minimizing beta to most known risk factors, and generating Alpha from a highly diversified group of managers producing idiosyncratic investment ideas. By combining proprietary quantitative methods of portfolio construction and risk management with qualitative judgement aided by senior management’s long and diversified industry experience, we produce a covariant matrix of positive expectancy and low correlated strategies generating a portfolio whose risk adjusted returns are greater than the sum of its parts. Intense focus on risk management has led to a worst monthly loss of less than 50 basis points. The transpar- ency and statistical significance derived from the daily data allowed by allocating via managed account, drives the quantitative component of our portfolio construction and risk management. The structure also allows us to avoid many operational risks normally associated with emerging managers. Under a single umbrella the fund currently allocates to portfolios across two platforms. Boothbay’s Multi-Strat- egy platform allocates to non-correlated portfolio managers with a focus on low net L/S Equity Fundamental, L/S Equity Quantitative and niche strategies. The second platform is a risk protected ‘First Loss’ managed account platform. Boothbay’s proprietary analytical tools facilitate an innovative approach to portfolio allocation and risk man- agement. Very few funds are generally Alpha driven with such low beta, and even fewer combine the level of qualitative and quantitative analysis used to combine strategies in a portfolio whose sum is materially greater than the whole of its parts, making our approach both unique and successful. Looking to the future we have a number of exciting developments on the horizon as we move into 2016. As we spent the past 18 months building out our core portfolio, we will be opening to non-founders capital Q1 2016, which coincides with the launch of our offshore fund in January. This will allow us to make larger allocations to slightly more mature managers and will give us a number of invigorating new challenges.
