FrontPoint Unveils First Global Emerging Markets Fund

FrontPoint Partners this week launched its first global emerging markets fund, targeted at institutional investors.

The new strategy—FrontPoint’s 32nd—will trade local currencies and interest rates, as well as equity and debt in emerging markets, focusing on macroeconomic variables. It is managed by Adam Weiner, who joined the firm in August from Oppenheimer Funds, where he also worked as an emerging markets portfolio manager.
