Co-managed by Seanna Kim and Rodolfo Martell, the new fund seeks to offer equity-like returns with lower volatility associated with emerging markets.
The fund will invest in emerging and frontier markets and use alternative long/short techniques to mitigate the usual volatility of emerging markets.
Commenting on the launch, Shen said: "The diversity and depth of emerging market territories is growing, and risk levels and opportunities are constantly changing.
"We believe the fund will be attractive to investors because it can move swiftly to seize the best opportunities for growth, but also reduce risk at times of market stress, meaning investors enjoy a smoother ride."
