Ox Capital Management

Boutique incubator Fidante Partners has teamed up with former Platinum Asset Management alumni to launch a new emerging market fund manager called Ox Capital Management (OxCap).

Former Platinum Asia Fund portfolio manager Joseph Lai will be the OxCap principal and lead portfolio manager. He is joined by Douglas Huey, who most recently worked at PM Capital but prior to that was with Platinum for over two decades. Alan Zhang, a former analyst for the Platinum Asia Fund, will also join the team as a portfolio manager.

OxCap will take a long-term contrarian approach to investing in Asia and other dynamic emerging markets and expects to launch long-only and long-short emerging market equity funds later this year.

"We've assembled a team of the top talent in the emerging markets space and we look forward to bringing our unique and differentiated approach to investors. From a career and market standpoint we see this as the perfect time to launch what we envisage as an enduring relationship with a very capable partner," Lai said.

"Fidante has a proven track record of success with specialist investment management businesses. OxCap is delighted to join the Fidante family."
