Morgan Stanley has launched a new fund, the MS Tremblant Long/Short Equity UCITS Fund under its FundLogic Alternatives Plc umbrella. 

The fund provides exposure to Tremblant’s Long/Short Equity Strategy (the Strategy), which employs a fundamental and research driven approach. The Strategy aims to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns by identifying potential investments trading at material dislocation from fair value across sectors and regions. The FundLogic Alternatives Platform currently has more than USD2.4bn in assets under management, as of 31 December 2014, and this latest addition expands Morgan Stanley’s offering of Long/Short Equity strategies. 

“We are delighted to announce the launch of the MS Tremblant Long/Short Equity UCITS Fund”, says Stephane Berthet, Head of the FundLogic Alternatives Platform at Morgan Stanley. “This Strategy uses a highly experienced investment team, supported by an innovative proprietary research and data sciences group, to generate long-term performance through a Long/Short Equity strategy. We believe it will complement our existing offering by expanding our coverage of global Long/Short Equity managers.” 

Jim Eckert, President & COO of Tremblant Capital Group, says: “We are excited to partner with Morgan Stanley and look forward to leveraging their expertise in the UCITS market. The operational expertise of the FundLogic Alternatives Platform, coupled with its stringent risk management and robust infrastructure makes this a first class service we are delighted to be part of.”
