River and Mercantile Global High Alpha Fund

River and Mercantile Asset Management LLP

London based investment manager River and Mercantile Asset Management has launched a new fund to local institutional investors.

The River and Mercantile Global High Alpha Fund offers access to the fund manager's Global High Alpha strategy, through an Australian-regulated pooled vehicle.

The fund invests in global equities using River and Mercantile's Potential, Valuation and Timing (PVT) investment philosophy.

"The launch of the first River and Mercantile unit trust in Australia represents an important milestone in River and Mercantile's rich history," River and Mercantile's chief executive of asset management, James Barham, said.

"We have been working collaboratively with the investment consulting community and institutional investors in Australia and New Zealand since 2013, designing truly actively managed products that meet the genuine needs and investment appetite of this region. Responding to increasing demand we are very proud to now be able to offer this fund to a broader audience."
