Cheyne Capital Healing Credit Markets Offer Reservoir of Opportunity

The post-2008 period has witnessed a sharp economic downturn give way to an environment of anaemic growth propped up by record low interest rates

. Difficulties in financial markets linger against a backdrop of tight credit conditions and periodic shocks affecting sovereign borrowers, particularly in Europe. Hedge fund performance rebounded and then stalled during the second and third quarters.

Successfully navigating the post-2008 minefield offers challenges to the investment managers at Cheyne Capital Management in a way that founders Jonathan Lourie and Stuart Fiertz could not have foreseen when they set up the firm in 2000. Then the focus was to build on a successful approach to convertible bond and credit investing which originated in their development of Morgan Stanley's convertible bond management practice. Though Cheyne continues to manage money in convertibles, it is now more focused on opportunities in investment grade corporate bonds as well as European Event Driven and Real Estate Debt. From its origins, Cheyne has focused on credit investing, and worked to be a pioneer in diversified European alternative asset management. To that end, Cheyne has raised some $1.5 billion of fresh capital in new products since early 2009 while delivering best-of-breed performance.

Cheyne Capital is a London-based alternative asset manager. The firm launched its first fund in 2000 and today specializes in corporate credit, event-driven, equity, and equity-linked funds. It is one of the largest alternative asset managers in Europe with mandates from pension funds, foundations, family offices, and funds of funds. The Cheyne group currently employs approximately 150 people with its primary offices in London, New York, and Bermuda. It was founded in 1999 by Jonathan Lourie and Stuart Fiertz who are currently the CEO and President of Cheyne Capital Management (UK) LLP respectively. Cheyne Capital Management (UK) LLP is authorised and regulated by the U.K. Financial Services Authority (FSA). The firm's cofounder, Stuart Fiertz was a member of the 14-person Hedge Fund Working Group, which devised best practice policies regarding financial valuation, transparency, and risk management. Those guidelines evolved into what is now the Hedge Fund Standards Board, a self-regulatory body of which Cheyne is a member. It is also a member of the Alternative Investment Management Association (AIMA).
