At the same time, investors will gain exposure to individual opportunities that is the result of Lyxor’s relationships with nearly 100 hedge fund managers.
The firm will carry out risk and operational due diligence of the opportunities before offering it through the programme.
Lyxor Americas global head of hedge fund research Kunjal Shah said: “We believe today’s markets provide many exciting investment opportunities, particularly in emerging markets that remain undervalued.
“As the economic cycle continues to age in developed markets, we anticipate more opportunities from corporate events affecting the structure of companies.”
The new programme secured a capital of over $300m from external investors till date.
Lyxor Americas CEO Andrew Dabinett said: “Co-investments are playing an increasingly significant role in institutional investors’ pursuit of alpha and absolute returns.”
