Pictet head of total return equities Doc Horn said: “We are delighted to be launching the Pictet TR-Aquila fund after the Aquila team has successfully managed the strategy inside of our multi-strategy funds since 2018.

“We believe this is a unique strategy within the UCITS landscape and one that will provide diversification to investor portfolios.”

Recently, Pictet also launched the Luxembourg-domiciled Pictet-Family fund that will invest in family owned businesses, where the founder or family holds a minimum of 30% of the voting rights.

The strategy targets family-run businesses with a tendency to outperform the broader global equity market and show distinctive management styles.
