Alfred Berg launches the Global Alpha fund

Alfred Berg launches a new Luxembourg based fund drawing on its successful and award-winning quantitative stock selection process: Global Alpha. The fund will be available on the Nordic and European markets, and in some selected countries outside Europe.

The investment team at Alfred Berg is a pioneer in the field of quantitative stock selection, and has delivered consistent out-performance for almost 15 years. The Alfred Berg quantitative stock selection process is unique in the large amount of factors it analyses. –"We have delivered out performance, even through the credit crisis, as our coverage of a wide variety of factors enables us to achieve consistent excess returns throughout the market cycle. Our new fund uses the same stock analysis model as the award-winning Global Quant fund*) that has been available for sale in Norway since 1994. It is an all-seasons product, engineered to perform consistently whatever the prevailing market conditions", says Patrick Van de Steen, Chief Executive of Alfred Berg. *) Alfred Berg Global Quant fund won Morningstar Award in 2009 in the Global Large Cap Equity category. The fund was the best performer in its class in 2008.
