Key Strengths
Our Experience, Size and Significant Resources
Ivy is a global fund of hedge fund firm. For over 25 years, we
have carefully monitored market dynamics. In an effort to react to them, we
have amassed an extensive global network of managers and intermediaries to
establish a diversified array of capabilities, products and services for both
institutional and individual clientele.
We believe our size is also a strategic advantage. We have built teams within the
Investments Department which are dedicated strictly to risk management,
portfolio construction and investment research. We believe this ensures a
highly focused and disciplined investment process.
Given our current infrastructure, we believe we have the resources to
deliver quality work and produce the highest quality products. This is
further enhanced by the relationship with our parent company, The Bank of New
York Mellon Corporation. As a leading financial institution with the resources
to support our institutional enterprise, BNY Mellon is equally committed to
maintaining our entrepreneurial and performance-driven culture. The result has
been a mutually beneficial, synergistic affiliation.
Intellectual Capacity and Self-Reflection
In the hedge fund industry, there is a clear reliance on intelligent and
committed staff. At Ivy, our professionals reflect a variety of educational and
functional backgrounds earned from a cross-section of experience in hedge fund
investing, trading, money management, securities brokerage, investment banking
and accounting. We use this market acumen to continually develop and refine our
investment products to enhance our overall service offerings.
Beyond this, the long-term vitality of our firm is based on our willingness to
be self-critical. Despite our long-term success, we never allow ourselves to
become complacent, making it our responsibility to challenge conventional
thinking and welcome new ideas.
Product Creation – The Best of All Worlds
In addition to developing custom accounts, Ivy currently offers proprietary
funds that reflect a variety of investment strategies. Funds range from
long/short equity investing to multi-strategy investing approaches.
Product and asset diversification is further ensured by the allocation of
funding to a broad spectrum of managers at various stages in their lifecycles.
Of particular importance to our investors is that all Ivy funds are designed to
remain manageable in size, thereby insulating any given fund from excessive
diversification due to growth. As a result, clients not only benefit from new
opportunities but are protected from investment dilution.
Global Personnel and Local Employees
Since Ivy is headquartered in the United States, our systems work in
coordination with, and in support of, our global offices. By offering a global
platform from which to administer and monitor our funds, our
investments and client development teams will help to ensure that all accounts
are managed on a consistent basis and supported by a strong infrastructure.
Our London, Tokyo and Hong Kong operations are staffed with European and Asian nationals.
These professionals not only understand the unique needs of our European and
Asian clients but provide greater access to both established and emerging hedge
fund managers around the world.
A Strong and Scaleable Infrastructure
Ivy has differentiated itself by providing a strong infrastructure.
We believe that a strong infrastructure is not only essential
to investment decision making but critical to our client servicing
and investor solutions model.
To assure clients a bandwidth of services and coverage, Ivy is organized into
several groups: Investments; Client Development; Strategic Solutions; Finance; Fund
Administration; Legal and Compliance; Information Technology; and Human
Resources/Administration.
