Hedge Fund Awards 2016 95 ~ Best Market Neutral Fund-of-Funds (Since Inception) Peak Asset Management is a Nordic absolute return specialist managing several multi and single strategy hedge funds. Per Djerf, CIO, commented on Peak Core Hedge being named “Best Market Neutral Fund-of-Funds (Since Inception)” for the second year in a row and gave us an update on the firm. How does it feel to be named Best Market Neutral Fund of Funds for the second year running? We are honoured and proud of the recognition as well as the continued trust of our clients. We go to work every day with the objective of delivering the best possible risk-adjusted returns and it is great when the results are worthy of such a prestigious acknowledgement. Could you tell our new readers a little bit about Peak Core Hedge? Peak Core Hedge is a market neutral multi-manager fund that invests in a blend of uncorrelated Hedge Fund strategies globally. The objective of the Fund is to generate superior risk-adjusted returns through the market cycle, while preserving capital and maintaining minimal correlation to major equity and bond indices. Peak Core Hedge is engineered to provide a one-stop solution for investors looking to add defensive and diversified hedge fund exposure to their portfolio. What is new at Peak Asset Management since last year? It’s been an exciting year indeed. We have continued to see an increasing appetite for our style of investing as investors look to diversify away from traditional asset classes, especially fixed income. In response, our organization has expanded with the addition of several new team members and we have also added another very promising fund – Peak Equity Alpha – to the product line-up. What is your outlook for markets going forward? We do not attempt to forecast market direction, but we recognize that we still find ourselves in a zero interest rate environment with rich equity valuations and relatively tight credit spreads. Unless you are very optimistic about earnings growth, it is probably an excellent time to consider adding non-directional strategies to the portfolio.
