Integrated Asset Management has launched River Plate House Capital Management.

River Plate House was founded in May 2010 by Michael H. Hyman, president, chief executive and chief investment officer; Julian C. Smith, executive vice president and chief operating officer; and majority partner Integrated Asset Management.

River Plate House is located in the Integrated Asset Management Toronto offices.

River Plate House is a solutions-based alternative investment manager offering macro global government bond long/short investment strategies focused on real interest rates, as well as customised solutions for managing asset/liability and longevity risk.

Hyman says: "We are in a generation where rising real interest rates will be at the forefront of investors' minds and with the support of IAM, River Plate House is poised to take advantage of opportunities in the global government fixed income markets that have not been available for a long time."

Victor Koloshuk (pictured), chairman, president and chief executive of Integrated Asset Management, adds: "The timing of the launch of River Plate House is ideal as pension funds re-focus on real rates of return and LDI, and insurance companies seek to contain longevity risk and achieve more effective asset/liability matching."
