BPER's funds of hedge funds honoured yet again

Banque Edmond de Rothschild SA won the Excellence in Investment Management prize at this year's IAIR Awards in Milan.

This tribute, presented at the 2011 International Alternative Investment Review (IAIR) Awards on 11 November, adds to the long list of recognitions received by our Investment Fund Department in recent years.
 

 

The IAIR AWARDS 2011, II edition, took place successfully on November 11th at the Visconti Palace in Milan. According to Alexa ? Amazon in terms of international ranking and number of readers, IAIR (International Alternative Investment Review) is one of the leading and fastest growing alternative independent investment magazines worldwide,. In fact, IAIR has recently surpassed well known international magazines like Euromoney, Institutional Investor, Reuters Hedgeworld, Financial Time Wealth Monitor. The main partner of the event was ActivTrades, an important Forex provider who has recently decided to set-up a branch in Italy.
 

The IAIR winners and nominees were selected thanks to an independent survey of investors covering all the different areas of alternative investments. The online survey was conducted through the IAIRs readership, an international editorial staff, reporters and global opinion leaders. The survey was a reflection of how market professionals, individual investors and institutional investors viewed their service providers in terms of overall quality of service.
 

Edmond de Rothschild Prifund (“Prifund”) is an Undertaking for Collective Investment with multiple sub-funds, incorporated under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Its alternatively managed Sub-Funds with “α” or “Alpha” in their name involve special risks arising from their stakes in investment vehicles that use alternative management methods and/or invest in transferable securities related to the real estate sector. The nature and degree of the risks inherent to such Sub-Funds’ investments are not comparable to those typically encountered in an investment in transferable securities issued by companies listed on the world’s major stock exchanges.

Return on investment in such Sub-Funds may substantially vary over time and investors may lose all or part of their holdings in them. Such holdings are not intended as a complete investment program for all categories of investors. Would-be investors are advised to examine carefully whether an investment in such Sub-Funds is appropriate for them, in light of their personal situation (see “Considerations on risks for “α” alternative management Sub-Funds” in chapter 31.3 of the partial prospectus and “Considerations on risks for “α” Sub-Funds which invest in transferable securities related to the real estate sector” in chapter 31.7.3 of the partial prospectus). Prifund’s Board of Directors shall nevertheless make its best effort to monitor risks by using a procedure of due diligence to select the investment included in such Sub-Funds (see “Due Diligence Procedure” in chapters 31.4 and 31.7.4 of the partial Prospectus). In order to facilitate the investor’s analysis, the specific applicable provisions and the data sheets for “special risk” Sub-Funds are contained in chapters 31 and 32 of the partial Prospectus.
