The investment process of the fund will be similar to that of the company’s EUR1.4bn Edmond de Rothschild Fund Europe Synergy strategy.
Edmond de Rothschild head of UK wholesale in London Dan Lee said: "In an environment where there is an enormous choice of UK equity funds, the dual approach of targeting M&A bid targets and restructuring/turnaround companies stands out as a compelling, differentiated investment proposition."
The fund will be managed Philippe Lecoq and Oliver Huet, who are anticipating a surge in M&A deals.
"In the lead up to the EU referendum in June we believe that M&A activity will be slightly constrained but for the mid-term, we are expecting a flurry of M&A activity post the referendum vote when uncertainty recedes," Lecoq stated.
