AIMS Asset Management, one of the first foreign fund management
companies to be licensed in Malaysia in 1996, is launching a long/short
Greater China equity fund in July 2007. The strategy and style will
follow that of a structured product managed by AIMS for the past 3 1/2
years, achieving annualized returns of close to 25%. The AIMS Absolute
China Certificate - listed on a German stock exchange and topping 80m
USD AUM - was a collaboration with ABN AMRO Bank and gave German retail
investors the only avenue to legally invest in a single manager hedge
funds strategy. The AIMS Absolute China Fund will be managed out of
AIMS' new office in Singapore by Terry Wainwright, previously the
manager of the certificate, and is targeted at institutional investors. It has been
seeded with 15m USD by Singapore securities firm GK Goh and AIMS itself.
More information on AIMS and its products can be obtained from the
company's website www.aimskl.com.
