The company said it will combine bottom-up, value-based investments with a proprietary spread risk management system that "significantly reduces volatility".
The Luxembourg-domiciled fund will operate through Deutsche Bank’s UCITS platform and has a performance fee of 20%.
The fund is currently valued at $130m and will be managed by Curtis Macnguyen, founder and head portfolio manager at Ivory.
It has a minimum initial and additional investment of €100,000 for institutional investment and €10,000 for retail investments.
On the launch, Macnguyen said: "We are seeing significant interest from investors globally and this UCITS fund allows Ivory to offer our investment strategy to a larger and more diverse investment base.”
Tarun Nagpal, head of Deutsche’s alternative & fund solutions group for Europe and Asia, added: “This fund provides a compelling opportunity to gain exposure to US equity markets, a key current investment theme for many of our clients.”
Ivory manages over $2bn in equity strategies and is based in Los Angeles. Prior to working at Ivory, Macnguyen was a partner at Sieglar, Collery & Co.
Deutsche Asset and Wealth Management offers individuals and institutions traditional and alternative investments across all major asset classes. It currently has €934bn in assets under management.
