Summary
Alfakraft Fonder chose to preserve and restructure its flagship global macro fund rather than wind down operations following Nils Brobacke's departure from managing Brobacke Global Allokering in late 2025. The Swedish asset manager partnered with macro strategist John Ricciardi and his firm Luccai to launch Allocator Global Macro, a dynamic multi-asset strategy designed to capitalize on macroeconomic insights within a regulated investment framework.
The partnership represents a deliberate division of labor between two firms with distinct operational strengths. Luccai assumes responsibility for macroeconomic research and analysis that serves as the primary input for asset allocation decisions. Alfakraft retains all portfolio management, implementation, risk management, and investment decision authority. This structure allows the fund to benefit from Ricciardi's macro expertise while maintaining Alfakraft's systematic approach to portfolio construction and execution across global markets.
Allocator Global Macro operates as a UCITS fund under strict regulatory oversight, managing exposure across equities, fixed income, and currency markets. The strategy dynamically reallocates assets based on evolving economic conditions and market signals derived from Luccai's macroeconomic framework. Bengt Lindblad, Alfakraft's founder, serves as portfolio manager, ensuring continuity of investment philosophy and maintaining accountability for all portfolio decisions. The UCITS structure imposes rigorous requirements around diversification, liquidity management, and risk controls that discipline the fund's allocation process and protect investor capital.
