The April issue leads on the growing wave of activism managers escaping from the shadow of Paul Singer’s Elliott Management and Sir Chris Hohn’s TCI to make their mark in Europe. “Activism is necessary,” says CIAM’s Sophie d’Andlau, one of the leading managers in the emerging cohort. “It is helping to highlight issues that some don’t dare to mention.”

Elsewhere this month, George Michelakis gave EuroHedge a rare and fascinating insight into his strategy, market outlook and thoughts on the wider industry in our feature profile. Also profiled in this issue is Christian Adler’s Astra Asset Management structured credit fund, which has made strong gains with its deep-dive trading approach. 

Not for the first time, trend-followers led a CTA comeback just as some had started to write them off. Leda Braga’s BlueTrend celebrated its fifteenth birthday with its best month in more than four years as we discover in our Q1 returns round-up.

Man Group certainly won’t be writing off quant after a strong Q1 for AHL. Its importance is demonstrated by the fact that more than twice as much of the AHL range is above high watermark and earning performance fees (see chart of the month) compared to GLG, its discretionary counterpart at Man.
