Ninety One Premier Funds PCC, a Guernsey fund range managed by Ninety One Guernsey, has launched a subfund, Emerging Markets Total Return Credit Fund, with assistance from Carey Olsen's Guernsey corporate team.
The new fund will invest in a diversified portfolio of emerging market fixed or floating rate credit instruments and related derivatives. A total of $50m of a planned minimum investment of $100m has been received from the first investor.
Grant Cameron (pictured), Managing Director of Ninety One Guernsey, said: "We were pleased when our client, a large sovereign wealth fund, agreed to invest in a Guernsey-domiciled fund.
"Ninety One [previously Investec Asset Management] has operated in Guernsey for more than 20 years offering funds managed out of our London or Cape Town offices and has many large institutional clients."
The Carey Olsen team advising Ninety One on all Guernsey legal and regulatory aspects for the creation of the new cell was led by Partner Annette Alexander, with assistance from Senior Associate Alexandria du Jardin and Paralegal Jessica Barge.
