NEW YORK, Feb. 27 -- Integre Advisors, the asset management
firm that invests in companies that it believes are attractively
valued and temporarily out of favor, is launching the Integre
Offshore Fund, announced Emanuel Weintraub, Integre's Founder
and Managing Director. Integre Advisors has developed the
new fund in response to demand from European investors seeking
to benefit from the firm's historic investment performance
on behalf of wealthy individuals and family offices in the
United States.
As in Integre's core business in the U.S., the objective
of the Integre Offshore Fund is to preserve capital on an
absolute basis and to outperform the S&P 500 Total Return
index. The fund, to be based in the Cayman Islands, will be
invested in a concentrated portfolio of 15 largely U.S.-based
equities.
"Our goal for the Offshore Fund -- as it is for our
other investment portfolios -- is to participate in the wealth
creation of the equity market while managing downside risk
through careful equity selection," says Mr. Weintraub.
"While our clients recognize that capital markets are
volatile, they are willing to accept some volatility if their
risk has been mitigated by careful analysis and a disciplined
process."
The firm's rigorous valuation model -- honed over nearly
20 years in both bull and bear markets -- aims to maximize
returns while preserving principal, with a strong emphasis
on downside protection. In this systematic approach to investing,
Integre applies proprietary screens and financial analysis
to identify growth companies that are temporarily out of favor
with conventional investors. This technique allows the firm
to acquire stocks it believes have an asymmetric risk-reward
ratio; i.e., each company's likely upside is disproportionately
large compared to its probable worst-case scenario downside.
"Through the disciplined implementation of our model,"
says Mr. Weintraub, "we can invest in companies that
are facing short-term issues. However, over the medium-term,
they represent prime opportunities for significant investment
returns."
