For the first six months of 2009, 18 groups have left the rankings and there was only one new entrant Hermes BPK Partners, which added $1.3 billion to the overall asset number.
Hermes BPK has the added advantage of being the only fund of funds in the InvestHedge Billion Dollar Survey with a clean slate. "Our plan going forward is to be solely focused on providing investment solutions and market-leading client service to institutional clients, particularly pension funds where we can align the requirements of the BT Pension Scheme with that of other similar schemes, both UK-based and global," says Matteo Dante Perruccio, chief executive officer and founding partner of Hermes BPK Partners.
"Unencumbered by many of the legacy issues in the fund of hedge fund space, Hermes BPK has taken the opportunity to reposition the business model to ensure that the BT Pension Scheme and other institutional clients receive products and services that are transparent, high quality and adapted to address the needs of investors in a radically altered marketplace. A strong alignment of interests with our investors underpins our model," he adds.
