Open architecture investment solution
The Open Architecture Investment Solutions unit is a dedicated team within Black Cowrie Finance. We take an open-architecture approach because it allows us to invest in the funds that most closely match our clients’ investment needs – even if these are not our funds. This gives us the freedom to focus purely on what our clients want.
We offer innovative, bespoke solutions, and customized portfolio management services. And we manage a diversified range of funds including funds of hedge funds, long-only funds, and combinations of both.
With a presence in Hungary, Dubai, New York, Paris, London, and Zurich, our international management team provides access to the most talented alternative asset managers in the world.
Our expertise
We invest in three major families of alternative strategies:
- Multi-Strategy
- Trading Oriented
- Long/short equity and quantitative strategies
- Capital preservation is achieved through diversification across strategies and by carefully selecting the very best fund managers.
Capital appreciation is achieved by active allocation across alternative strategies while avoiding large losses. We select our managers for their ability to generate investment performance while controlling the risk of large drawdowns. In doing so, we believe that we can generate higher medium-term returns than long-only management styles with lower risk and volatility levels.
Our team has an excellent track record when it comes to selecting the best fund managers because they are free from conflicts of interest and can focus solely on the specific interests of each client.
Our philosophy
Our fund portfolios are made up of high conviction investments, with well-diversified sources of both risk and return. We aim to capture as much performance upside as possible while maintaining a strict focus on minimizing downside risk.
