Managing director at Acacia Global Investors

Acacia is a global multi strategy institutional asset management firm. Our investment process is based on fundamental bottom-up research, and we have experienced portfolio management teams located in key financial centers, both for capital markets as well as private equity.


Launched in 2007, Acacia has since expanded to include strategies and bespoke solutions in the asset classes of multi-strategy, equity derivatives, global fixed income, , asset backed securities, credit, loans and equities.

Fundamental and quantitative analysis are at the heart of Acacia's investment process. We follow a collaborative multi-disciplinary approach, seeking correlations, arbitrage and adjacencies across all asset classes in which we invest.

Acacia's robust risk management and operations platform provide all mandates with liquidity and liability management which enable our investment professionals to be more nimble and effective during adverse market conditions. These lie at the core of our investment strategy and are essential to mitigate market risk.

We are a member of many prominent industry associations, including the Alternative Investment Management Association and the Hedge Fund Standards Board.

We invest extensively in our risk management platform, operational infrastructure and margin and liability management framework. These lie at the core of all our investment platforms and activities. We believe this to be essential to mitigate operational risk.

We place significant emphasis on communication with investors and communicate regularly and effectively with them.
