- Article 8 UCITS fund provides access to the most liquid instruments of the euro zone's most creditworthy issuers with maturities of less than one year
- Investors with different use cases benefit from daily transparency and favourable tradability even in periods of market stress
Press Release
Frankfurt am Main, 09.04.2024 – Lampe Asset Management today announced the launch of a new actively managed money market-related mutual fund in UCITS format. The HAL Euro 0-1 Active Core starts with a volume of EUR 130 million assets under management.
The focus of the HAL Euro 0-1 Active Core is on the most liquid instruments of the most creditworthy issuers in the euro zone – in particular bills and bonds with a maturity of less than one year. This construction enables the HAL Euro 0-1 Active Core not only to trade robustly in periods of market stress, but also to benefit from flight-to-quality market environments.
The fund offers numerous advantages that investors greatly appreciate in exchange-traded funds (ETFs), i.e. daily transparency of all positions and very low management and transaction costs compared to other funds. Lampe Asset Management works together with the capital management company Hauck Aufhäuser Fund Services Ireland on the HAL Euro 0-1 Active Core, and the launch of further funds is planned.
Highlights of the HAL Euro 0-1 Active Core:
- Investment strategy: The fund pursues an active investment strategy, which takes account the various particularities of the euro zone money market. A team of experienced portfolio managers led by Wilhelm Wildschütz manages this transparent strategy at low management fees.
- Portfolio: The portfolio consists exclusively of instruments from the most creditworthy issuers in the euro zone, including bills, short-dated government bonds and select AAA-rated Hypotheken-Pfandbriefe. The fund is classified in the Article 8 category from an SFDR perspective.
- Target group: Investors looking for an optimized allocation of the risk-free interest rate in euros are offered a pure rates portfolio in the money market-related segment with daily transparency with this fund.
