Hydra provides investors with manager access, notional funding, daily transparency and twice-monthly liquidity to established and emerging alternative asset managers.
Transtrend, established in 1991 and headquartered in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, is a systematic trading manager with more than 25 years of experience researching markets and managing systematic strategies. Its Diversified Trend Program, with $5.2 billion in assets including notional funds, seeks to profit from trends across a broad range of futures and forward markets spanning foreign exchange, commodities, interest rates and equity-related markets. The program is noted for its non-linear correlation with other trading styles and traditional asset classes, and for its capacity to deliver strong crisis alpha.
André Honig, head of Investor Relations at Transtrend, said the firm looked forward to accessing new markets and providing investors with flexibility, capital efficiency and transparency through Hydra. Kettera CEO Jon Stein described Transtrend as a global leader and innovator in systematic investing, stating that Hydra would make the firm's flagship program more accessible and allow investors to notionally fund access to it.
Hydra currently hosts more than 40 investment strategies. The addition extends the platform's roster of systematic managers and gives allocators a notional-funding route into a large, established trend-following program.
