Eden managers announced the second closing of mult-strategy commingled fund. Mr. Ali Maradi Hussiani, Head of Sales - Middle East at LSM Management said, "As interest rates peak and a clearer picture forms on valuation and future financial performance, the emerging green shoots signal a readiness among investors to get back to business. Even though the outlook for is more positive, investors remain cautious. Rates are still high and geopolitical risk continues to loom large. On balance, however, the industry does appear to be in a more stable position than it was 12 months ago"

 

Eden Managers ‘All Terrain Portfolio’ strategy combines a multi-strategy investing style with exposure to at least 10 asset classes, which reduces a portfolio's vulnerability to market trends. Having gained exposure to many uncorrelated strategies within the private real estate market, the ATP modulates the portfolio's exposure as investment conditions fluctuate, and include private equity and debt.

 

On a comment request Mr. Tim Sethers, Executive Director at LSM Management opined , Despite facing high borrowing costs and global economic disruption over the past decade, the growth trend in private markets continues, fueled by increasing investor demand. The next few years will be pivotal for asset managers and owners navigating the complexities of investing in private markets. Efficient selection and access to these asset classes will be paramount in enduring unpredictable market conditions."
