Lincoln Vale Preps Trio of Alternative Investment Funds

Boston and London-based Lincoln Vale is currently prepping a trio of alternative investment funds. The new offerings include an Asia-focused hedge fund, a fund of funds, and an energy vehicle. 

The firm’s Asia Macro Fund will exploit the region’s foreign exchange rates, credit markets, and private placement landscape “to provide a balanced, non-equity investing alternative to Asia's economic growth story,” according to the firm. It will employ a range of relative value, directional, and event-driven trading strategies. 

Meanwhile, Lincoln Vale’s new Energy & Environment Fund seeks to “capture the dynamic disruptive changes in the energy industry” by investing in both private and public companies. The fund, which is set to launch in the coming months, will focus on short-term arbitrage opportunities, under- and overvalued assets, and growth opportunities in the equity, debt, and derivatives of energy companies.

In addition, the firm is launching a fund of funds to invest in hedge fund managers across a broad range of asset classes. The firm’s current list of alternatives funds includes the Adaptive Strategy Fund, which launched in August and invests in highly liquid S&P 500 securities, a European activist fund, and a shipping fund.

Earlier this year, ING Investment Management bought a minority stake in Lincoln Vale for an undisclosed price.

The hedge fund firm is headed by Phil Cooper in the U.S. and Katherine Priestley in the U.K.
