The fund, which is domiciled in Dublin, is launched with a seed capital of US$42 million.
According to Neuberger Berman, this fund is designed to avoid persistent macro or thematic biases and targets a low level of correlation to the wider fixed income market over a full market cycle.
The fund will use a proprietary framework which combines multiple alpha sources and is used across Neuberger Berman’s fixed income platform.
The fund is now used in the management of Neuberger Berman’s benchmark relative and unconstrained strategies in the US.
