ETHENEA celebrates the third anniversary of its HESPER FUND - Global Solutions

Munsbach, July 13, 2022. Investment company Ethenea Independent Investors S.A. is celebrating the three-year anniversary of its actively managed macro fund HESPER FUND - Global Solutions. Just in time for the anniversary, the international rating agency Morningstar has awarded the fund five stars, placing it in the top quartile of its peer group.

Since its launch in July 2019, the fund management team led by Dr. Andrea Siviero and Federico Frischknecht has achieved an average annual performance of 7.42 percent since inception. "HESPER FUND - Global Solutions has proven its worth over the past three years, during which we have successfully weathered a series of crises. This is particularly evident in the fact that we have achieved solid performance despite the difficult market environment," commented Dr. Andrea Siviero, Senior Portfolio Manager of HESPER FUND - Global Solutions.

The multi-asset fund with a long-short strategy, which manages assets of 58 million euros, invests in asset classes such as equities, bonds, currencies and commodities. In doing so, the fund pursues a highly flexible opportunistic investment approach. This is based on a three-stage process. Secular growth themes are part of this, as is the macro picture of what will happen over the next 12-18 months, and ultimately market sentiment, which is used for tactical allocation. "Essential to the sustainable success of the fund is the flexibility we live by. This allows us to allocate to diverse asset classes, depending on the market situation, and also to manage duration flexibly. In addition, we use derivatives to hedge or increase an exposure. This spectrum gives us the opportunity to enter into dynamic and innovative positions while keeping volatility under control," summarizes Federico Frischknecht, Senior Portfolio Manager of the HESPER FUND - Global Solutions.
