The funds, which follow the 2000 launch of similar onshore funds, are:
- Windridge Partners International, which invests in real estate and real estate-related securities, and
- Anvers Healthcare Investors International, which invests in the securities of companies involved in the development, production or distribution of products and services in the healthcare industry
The launch of Windridge Partners International follows the launch of an onshore fund, Windridge Partners. Both funds? aim to produce returns with limited correlation to traditional securities, while limiting volatility.
