Catella Hedgefond named Hedge Fund of the Year
Catella Hedgefond has been declared the winner in the Hedge Funds category by Swedish Fondmarknaden.se for the second consecutive year.
“Catella Hedgefond is one of our most important products, and we are proud of this award. We have a broad offering in equity, hedge and fixed income funds, enabling us to address the investment needs of both private and institutional investors based on different risk aspects, market situations and management methods. Catella Hedgefond is an excellent alternative when markets are somewhat turbulent, as we are experiencing right now. At these times it is most important for investors to limit their risk, but still achieve a good return,” says Erik Kjellgren, head of the Swedish fund operations.
Fondmarknaden.se has awarded Funds of the Year 2015 in twelve different fund categories. Catella Hedgefond won with reasoning: “For the second year in a row we have named Catella Hedgefond as Hedge Fund of the Year. The characteristics for our assessment in this fund category are that the funds must be traded daily and be accessible in terms of investment amounts for ordinary savers. A hedge fund must also be broad in its investment mandate and demonstrate a clear majority of positive monthly returns over time. Catella Hedgefond lives up to this and has delivered a good risk-adjusted return for the second consecutive year, and shows good resilience during downturns in the stock market. In a broad fund category such as hedge funds, great importance has been attached to identifying a resilient hedge fund that stands up well in downward markets and that also follows the upturns. Taking this into account, we therefore name Catella Hedgefond the best fund in this fund category.”
“We are obviously very pleased, not least because this is the second consecutive year that we have received this award. Catella Hedgefond is a fund with a focus on low risk. Despite the turmoil that prevailed in 2015, we managed to achieve a return of approximately 5 percent without the risk level of the fund significantly increasing,” says Ulf Strömsten, fund manager for Catella Hedgefond.
