AlphaMetrix Global Marketplace has listed the first dedicated residential mortgage-backed security (RMBS) fund. The fund is managed by Performance Trust Investment Advisors (PTIA), which is headed by its chief investment officer, Peter Cook, CFA.

Cook previously founded and managed Rochester Partners, a long/short equity hedge fund, from 1997 through 2006. Prior to that time, he managed a hedge fund for Templeton Global Advisors and was vice president of interest rate and currency swaps at UBS in New York.

PTIA's team is supported by an institutional-class infrastructure led by its president, Douglas Rothschild.

"We are extremely excited to list our RMBS opportunity funds on the AlphaMetrix Global Marketplace, as it provides us the opportunity to present our unique strategy to a community not currently known to PTIA," says Rothschild. "We believe the partnership between AlphaMetrix and PTIA is a win-win for both groups, as this will be the first dedicated RMBS fund to list on the Marketplace."

"We are continually expanding the information about various types of strategies made available to our pre-qualified community via the AlphaMetrix Global Marketplace, and adding our first dedicated residential mortgage-backed security fund is another example of that commitment," says Mikus Kins (pictured), chief product and business development officer at AlphaMetrix. "Collectively, the Performance Trust management team has decades of experience within the alternative investment industry and shares AlphaMetrix's commitment to transparency, liquidity and communication. We are thrilled to welcome them to the Marketplace."
