Swiss hedge fund firm Vigama Capital has launched its first public vehicle, the HC Vigama Alpha Fund, on Harrington Cooper’s UCITS platform, following a plan disclosed earlier this year, according top a report by CityWire.

The Irish-domiciled sub-fund, led by Vincent Ijaouane, formerly portfolio manager of Pictet Asset Management’s $2bn Agora long-short equity strategy, seeks to deliver strong risk-adjusted returns from European equities and options. Its investment approach combines top-down and bottom-up research with disciplined risk management, guided by four pillars: informational, analytical, behavioural, and organisational.

Launched at the end of July, the fund offers daily liquidity and will be distributed across Europe via Harrington Cooper. Founded in 2025, Vigama Capital is a fully employee-owned, Geneva-based independent firm.

Harrington Cooper, established in 2006, raises assets for a range of investment managers across Europe, the UK, Nordic countries, Latin America, and Japan.
