Hedge Fund Awards 2016

http://www.acquisition-intl.com/hedge-fund-awards 90 ~ Best Diversified Fund: OFP Optimal Value Oaks Field Partners is an entrepreneurial asset management and economy research company founded in 2008 by Emeric Challier, who has a long track record with absolute returns funds and global macro products. He successfully developed track records and businesses for major asset managers and investment banks. Amélie Bizeul recently spoke with us to outline some of the reasons why Oaks Field Partners are experiencing so much success. Oaks Field Partners’s way to manage funds is an innovative asset allocation process that combines financial modelling (systematic approach, unbiased) with discretionary management (validation of quantitative models signals by fund managers). The economic forecast resulting from the quantitative research enables fund managers to detect investment opportunities on liquid assets. Our objective is to deliver a regular performance, lowly volatile and de-correlated from markets evolutions. Our approach to investing relies on 3 main features: Research, Diversification and Transparency. Research: We are all quantitative researchers, experts in modelling and data mining. Our ability to study a fast-increasing volume of information is the heart of OFP’s research. OFP has developed a systematic quan- titative approach, which enables OFP investment managers to consider the economic outlook and potential opportunities without any bias. Diversification: We consider capital preservation as important as capital enhancement. We are therefore investing in liquid assets only and implementing the strategies offering the best Risk/Reward ratio. Transparency: OFP is particularly focusing on the understanding of its investment strategies by its clients. We regularly communicate with a large public, publishing every week all important information referring to our research and the management of our funds. Such transparency is one of the three pillars of OFP’s philosophy. In a nutshell, OFP asset management philosophy is about delivering performance whatever market conditions are. The good performance of OFP funds, adapted to market volatility, show that we are adapting our asset management to market conditions, including crises. Our fund, OFP Optimal Value, voted Best Diversified Fund, delivered a very good performance since inception with a controlled volatility. The investment strategy is based primarily on an analysis of international markets, supported by quantitative financial and econometric analysis methods. Since the fund’s creation, we have demonstrated our ability to generate good performance on a complex environment with high volatility on finan- cial markets, historical low yields, a global economic slowdown and low inflation around the world. As we continuously look for opportunities and challenges, we are launching our research production under the name of “OFP Economy & Research”. Thus, we will provide it to institutional investors, family offices and private banks, non-financial business and their leaders, as well as any other person interested in financial markets and economy with state-of-the-art research.
