Galena Asset Management
Galena Asset Management Ltd was established in 2003 to leverage
the unparalleled commodities knowledge within Trafigura, in order
to deliver absolute returns for hedge fund investors.
Galena now has over US$1.2 billion under discretionary
management across six main fund strategies. These include base and
precious metal derivatives, energy derivatives, a resource focused
multi strategy fund and funds benchmarked to commodity indices. Its
most recent fund is focused on commodity trade finance and was
launched during Q3 2010.
Galena is regulated in the UK by the Financial Services
Authority and its asset management teams are based in London,
Singapore and Geneva. Galena operates independently of Trafigura
and great emphasis is placed on ensuring that the investment
management activities are separated from the rest of the group’s
trading activities.
Much of Galena’s success is due to its ability to leverage
information and analysis from its close relationship to Trafigura’s
physical trading and industrial investment businesses. By using
Trafigura’s insights into global supply and demand, together with
Galena’s understanding of investment flows, its portfolio managers
can identify and capture opportunities from fundamentals and
momentum in the derivatives markets.
The combination of a sound understanding of investment flows,
privileged access, independence and a structured hedge fund risk
management discipline, has delivered consistent returns to
investors with low volatility even in recent times.
The success of Galena’s funds, particularly during the recent
period of high volatility in the commodity markets, has allowed
Galena to be recognised as a market leader in its sector,
attracting high profile investor groups.
