EDGE CAPITAL

The Edge Capital (Edge) range of funds employs a diverse array of unique strategies to provide consistent, absolute or relative returns. The primary objective is to either protect and grow investor capital irrespective of rising or falling markets, or to consistently outperform a stated relative index benchmark.

Most investors elect to access the hedge fund market through a multi-manager structure. This markedly lowers an investor’s risk by diversifying across a range of managers and strategies.

A bespoke vehicle can be created and specially tailored by Edge to cater for an investor’s specific risk/return requirements. This is especially the case with transportable alpha vehicles.
Edge Capital is an authorised Financial Services Provider (FSP no. 882).

The Edge entrepreneurial culture is performance driven. The highly skilled, motivated team of investment professionals are owners in the business, and are supported by experienced middle- and back-office support staff. Our pure focus on investment performance and exceptional client service means all non-investment related functions have been outsourced to highly rated specialists in these fields.
