Quote oF the week

“We target equity-like returns with low volatility,” Berman said in a telephone interview. “As a rule we tend to target funds that are operating in inefficient markets.”

MB Family Advisors is currently primarily invested in arbitrage and “niche” credit strate-gies, which include structured credit -- funds that trade in residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities -- distressed municipal bonds, volatility arbitrage, european credit, merger-arbitrage and managers focused on the TARP strategy, Berman said.

The firm invests $1 million to $7 million or $8 million in each fund initially, he said. Ber-man declined to comment on MB Family Advisors’ assets.

MB Family Advisors is allocated to about 30 hedge funds through its family office clients and fund of funds, the MB dislocation Opportunity Fund, which Berman runs, he said. The fund of funds focuses on arbitrage and credit strategies.

The firm prefers “smaller managers” with between $200 million and $500 million in as-sets, he said. it also considers hedge funds with varying asset sizes.

MB Family Advisors prefers portfolio managers with large personal investments in their funds, Berman said.

Berman founded MB Family Advisors in 2008 and the MB dislocation Opportunity Fund in 2009.

matlinPatterson mortgage strat-egy reaches Five years

MatlinPatterson’s $395 million MP Securitized Credit Fund, the mortgage strategy run by noelle savarese and marc rosenthal, reached its five-year track record, according to a monthly letter to investors obtained by Bloomberg.

The fund rose 1.4 percent in March and 6.1 percent this year, according to the let-ter. it has returned 14 percent on average a year since inception in April 2008.

Peter cerwin, chief operating officer of the fund, declined to comment.

Mezzanine commercial mortgage-backed securities comprise 28 percent of the fund’s long portfolio, with “seasoned credit CMBS” making up 21 percent and Alt-A residential mortgage-backed securi-ties 23 percent, according to the letter.

“A robust new issue market bodes well for legacy bonds as it provides more li-quidity options for loans approaching their

maturity dates,” Savarese and Rosenthal said about CMBS in the letter. “This, coupled with improving property values across the commercial real estate market, confirms our strong outlook for CMBS.”

The outlook for non-agency RMBS re-mains “extremely compelling” as the hous-ing market continues to improve, they said.

The MP Securitized Credit Fund was for-merly known as the FrontPoint Strategic Credit Fund, according to the letter.

GreenLake Seeks Sector-Specific Long-Short equity FundsgreenLake capital LLc, the new york-based fund of funds, is searching for long-short

equity hedge funds for allocations, according to katie Fitzpatrick, an analyst at the firm.GreenLake prefers sector- and regional-focused firms, Fitzpatrick said in a telephone

interview. it also invests in generalist long-short equity hedge funds.GreenLake is most bullish on health care, technology or energy and currently prefers

managers trading in the U.S., she said. The firm also invests in managers focused on other regions and in consumer- and financials-specific funds.

The firm allocates $1 million to $20 million on average to each fund initially, she said. GreenLake is currently invested in 25 underlying managers.

Funds “need to have good service providers and care about business structures,” Fitz-patrick said. “AUM and performance are not big factors.”

Fitzgerald declined to comment on GreenLake’s current assets under management. Bloomberg reported in June 2011 that the firm had $800 million under advisement.

uBp to Add up to 16 Funds to Managed Account platformunion bancaire Privee sA is looking to add up to 16 hedge funds

to a managed account platform it has introduced for its clients. The platform, which is being administered by Guggenheim Fund Solutions LLC, currently has 14 hedge funds. UBP wants to increase that to 30 by year-end and is looking at strategies including absolute return, equity long/short and global macro, Arié Assayag, chief executive officer of UBP Alternative investments, said in a telephone interview.

Assayag said he wants the platform to have a wide range of strategies to meet UBP clients’ varied needs. “We are seeing more appetite for absolute return, asymmetric and hedging strategies,” he said. “Some investors will want to hedge their portfolio, or have a positive convexity, so for them we will look at CTAs, global macro or volatility strategies.”

The new platform does not carry an extra layer of fees. UBP will use in-house staff to handle manager due diligence, selection and monitoring, while Guggenheim will be responsible for administration and looking after the client’s assets. Assayag said he is not averse to hiring managers with shorter track records as long as they are experienced, such as traders who have spun out of investment bank prop desks, and is most likely to hire a manager with at least $200 million under management.

“We don’t want to use our client money to enter into a seeding type of relationship,” he said. “emerging managers are not what we’re looking for. But younger managers that have experience and are hungry, yes.”

newAlpha Readies $150 Million for hedge SeedingnewAlpha Asset management, the Paris-based hedge fund seeding firm, plans to in-

vest in as many as four funds by the end of the year, according to Chief executive Officer Antoine rolland.

“We have at least $150 million to invest, and will probably seed between two and four funds this year,” Rolland said. The average allocation will be between $25 million and $50 million, he said.

newAlpha receives or reviews up to 500 funding proposals in an average year, ac-cording to Rolland. “More than 90 percent of the assets in the hedge fund universe are managed by small players,” he said. “So the number of funds below $100 million or even $50 million is still enormous.” newAlpha has made three seed investments this year and 21 since starting in 2004, totaling $800 million, Rolland said.

in January, newAlpha seeded LindenGrove Capital LLP, a global macro fund founded in London by a team of former nomura Holdings inc. traders. in March, former Brevan How-ard Asset Management LLP trader Tristan edwards opened Singapore-based Mosaic Asset Management Pte, a market neutral hedge fund, with seed capital from newAlpha.

newAlpha’s most recent seeding was of KeyQuant SAS , a systematic manager in Paris that started trading earlier this month with about $40 million, according to a statement from newAlpha.

The money for that came from emergence, a French-focused seeding fund run by newAlpha that has capital from a group of French institutional investors. Some of newAl-pha’s seeding deals come from pools like that, while others use money from newAlpha parent OFi Asset Management.

small Funds can be Profit-able: south Ferry’s terryBy KATHeRine BURTOn

marshall terry, the chief operat-ing officer at hedge fund south Ferry capital management LP, sees a way for hedge funds to start with less than $100 million and still set up a business that’s profitable for its founders.

Terry and 15 other industry executives, including a lawyer, an accountant, an administrator and a broker have written a white paper “Service Provider Selection and Co-Sourcing” outlining how to set up a firm’s legal structure, choosing a prime broker, developing a market-ing strategy and other topics.

The group’s findings run counter to some of the big prime brokers who say that hedge funds need to start with much larger sums of money. Citigroup recently put out a study estimating that funds need $250 million to $375 million to pay expenses and nominal salaries, given that most funds now have to register with the Securities and ex-change Commission and that large pension funds demand institution-al-quality infrastructure.

it’s all about being smart about outsourcing and choosing the right service providers, Terry said.

“My administrator does middle and back office functions, including cash management and trade processing,” said Terry, who helped start South Ferry in 2010 ago when it had less than $100 million.

The firm has been able to keep its staff at two business people and four investment professionals, and Terry said he wouldn’t have to add a large number of employees even if assets jumped significantly.

‘encouraged’ Lansdowne buys motor oil hellas shares

Lansdowne Partners Ltd. said it is “encouraged” by recent reforms in Greece’s public and private sectors and has bought an equity stake in Greek oil refiner Motor Oil Hellas SA (MOH GA equity), according to a quarterly report the London-based hedge fund manager sent to investors.

Lansdowne’s “increased confidence” in Greece led it to add Motor Oil Hellas stock to its european Hedge Fund Strate-gy, according to a quarterly performance letter, a copy of which was obtained by Bloomberg. it didn’t disclose how much of the Athens-based company’s stock it acquired, or the share price it paid. Motor Oil Hellas shares were trading around 8.37 euros today after closing the previ-ous session at 8.26 euros. Since hitting a 52-week low on March 26, the stock has gained 15 percent.

Lansdone said it is also encouraged by Greek private sector employment showing its first increase since 2009 and business confidence returning to its highest level in four years, according to the report, which was signed by david craigen, steven heinz and daniel Avigad.

A return to profitability at the publicly owned railway system is a “sign of real progress supported by the data from other state-controlled companies,” the report said, citing average costs per employee at Athens Water, Piraeus Port Author-ity, Public Power Corp, Thessaloniki Port Authority and Thessaloniki Water.

Officials from Lansdowne have visited Greece three times so far this year, ac-cording to the report, and are focusing on assets that are set to be privatized. The company bought shares of Piraeus Port Authority SA and Thessaloniki Port Authority SA in early 2012, Bloomberg re-ported last year. The government is look-ing to sell off its stakes in both companies.

Lansdowne’s european equity Fund climbed 6.7 percent in the first quarter, ac-cording to the report, beating the STOXX europe 600 index which rose 5 percent over that period.

An external spokesman for the firm declined to comment.

bluemountain bets on Lexmark stock

bluemountain capital management LLc, the $12 billion hedge-fund firm led by Andrew Feldstein, is targeting Lexmark international inc. for its biggest equity wager.

The firm disclosed a 5.6 percent active stake in Lexmark in an April 26 regulatory filing. BlueMountain is wagering on a busi-ness that reported six straight quarters of falling sales as computer users become less reliant on printed documents.

Lexmark is aware of BlueMountain’s investment and is “focused on delivering value to all stockholders,” company spokes-man Jerry Grasso wrote in an e-mail yes-terday. Grasso declined to comment further on how the stake would affect bondholders or the company’s strategy.

ray dalio in July 2011 said he was expecting “another very difficult period” for fi-nancial markets in 2012 and early 2013. Countries in the euro zone would undergo “classic depressions,” the bridgewater Associates LP founder said in an interview with the new yorker (Bloomberg Brief, July 19, 2011).

GDP growth in the euro zone has been slowing since Dalio’s statement and its economy officially entered a recession early last year. For the first quarter of 2013 economists are forecasting a 0.9 percent contraction for the second straight period. Many financial markets have proved resilient, with the S&P 500 gaining almost 14 percent since late July 2011.

■ beaconcrest capital management LLc, the Boston-based long-short equity fund run by kevin divney, told clients it wouldn’t publish market commentary for March to honor victims of the Boston marathon bombings. “Over the years, i have developed a personal ritual of going to the finish line the day before the race to ‘cross it,”’ divney said in an e-mail to clients, a copy of which was obtained by Bloomberg. “Boylston Street closes off the day before the race and it is a festive atmosphere as runners from all over the country and the world, donned in their blue and yellow jackets, wander around Back Bay. Completing a marathon is inspirational for all those near it, run-ners and fans alike. We are not shaken from our course or our mission here at Beaconcrest. As was my thought after 9/11, we get up, we go in, and we live our
