The fund, which launched in 1993, is a long/short product that invests primarily in small-cap firms as well as those that are under-researched and under-valued. The fund has assets of roughly $22.5 million and requires a minimum investment of $250,000.
Peter Newell, Vontobel Asset Managements managing director, said that the partnership was an opportunity "to add a single-strategy manager with a clear investment process" to Vontobels hedge fund platform.
