Magma Capital Launches New Investment Fund


Chicago-based quantitative hedge fund, Magma Capital Funds ("Magma"), announced that it has added another fund to its expanding portfolio. The new fund, Aestus, is specifically designed for the risk-averse investor and targets stable, prudent returns. Aestus is the third fund launched at Magma Capital Funds.

Magma Capital leverages a systematic strategy designed to respond to volatility by tactically allocating capital between asset classes. "We view volatility as the pulse of the market. By utilizing volatility as a paradigm, we can navigate the day-to-day currents of the market to protect and grow our investors capital." said Magma Capital founder and CEO, Gershie Vann.

By harnessing volatility and machine learning, Aestus strives to produce stable and consistent returns for investors. Aestus' unique approach allows the fund to navigate the currents of the market and pursue profit in all situations, regardless of the economic environment.

Amid this launch, a unique aspect of the Aestus fund has the investment community buzzing. Magma Capital has announced that this product will pursue a structure in which there is a mutualization of the downside. Vann said, "For a long time, the business model of hedge funds has been heads I win, tails you lose. We'd like to change that by sharing in both the upside and the downside of our clients gains and losses."
