ML Capital Launches Emerging Markets UCITS Fund On MontLake Platform

Malta-headquartered ML Capital is launching its third new fund in as many months, the Skyline UCITS Fund, on the MontLake UCITS Platform. Subject to regulatory approval, the fund will commence trading on 1 August 2011.
The fund will operate a global long/short mandate with a particular focus on emerging markets. ML Capital expects this launch to be the largest to date on the MontLake UCITS platform, with in excess of $25 million already committed by early-stage investors.
The fund will be managed by Skyline Capital Management, headed by Geoff Bamber, formerly of Nevsky Capital and Matterhorn Investment.
“The Skyline UCITS joint venture is an important step forward in our effort to building the leading independent UCITS platform in the marketplace,” said John Lowry, chairman of ML Capital.
