Formed alongside former long-time portfolio manager Dr Joseph Lai, the team behind Ox Capital Management (OxCap) “will use their expertise and long experience of investing in Asia and other dynamic emerging markets to find compelling investment opportunities”.
Dr Lai joins OxCap from Platinum where he worked for 17 years.
Douglas Huey and Alan Zhang have also been confirmed as OxCap’s principals and portfolio managers, while Sid Mehta will join the team in an analyst role.
“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,” Dr Lai said.
“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.
“Fidante has a proven track record of success with specialist investment management businesses. OxCap is delighted to join the Fidante family.”
OxCap plans to launch a long-only and a long-short emerging market equity fund later this year.
“OxCap is a great fit for Fidante in terms of shared values and providing our investors with access to world class emerging market managers,” Fidante Partners global head, John Burke, added.
“As a new boutique in the Fidante stable, OxCap presents an exciting investment opportunity over the short and medium term.
“Active investing is at the heart of what we do. For the highly skilled OxCap team, our strategic, operational and distribution expertise gives them access to a large investor base while enabling them to focus on what they do best – managing money.”
