AMX, an open architecture marketplace for the buying and selling of asset management services, has launched Magnetar Capital (Magnetar) and Lomas Capital Management (Lomas) onto the platform.
These additions bring AMX’s total offering to 17 funds – providing investors with access to a wide range of strategies and asset classes.
Willis Towers Watson worked closely with Magnetar to ensure that its Passive Risk Arbitrage strategy would be implemented in a manner attractive to clients, providing the opportunity to gain exposure to the merger arbitrage premium in the market. Magnetar has onboarded over USD900 million onto AMX.
Lomas’ Focus Strategy is a high-conviction, concentrated, long-short equity strategy. Lomas has onboarded over USD50 million onto the platform.
Oliver Jaegemann (pictured), Global Head of AMX, says: “We are thrilled to have added Magnetar and Lomas onto the AMX platform as testament to our ongoing dedication to offer a diverse range of strategies to our clients.”
“Magnetar’s Passive Risk Arbitrage strategy allows investors to efficiently access the merger arbitrage premium in the market, coupled with the key structural benefits that AMX provides.”
The wider Willis Towers Watson team has worked closely with Lomas to design its Focus Strategy. Ernie Rogers, Chief Operating Officer at Magnetar, adds: “We are excited to partner with Willis Towers Watson on the launch of our Passive Risk Arbitrage strategy on the AMX platform. We have been monitoring AMX’s development closely over the last few years and feel the platform has been constructed in a manner that seeks to suit the evolving needs of investors and managers.”
Lomas Capital Management says: “We have been impressed with our experience with the wider Willis Towers Watson team to date, and so are very pleased to be offering our Focus Strategy with AMX.”
