NAV PERFORMANCE
BGHL is a closed-end investment company investing in BG Fund, Boussard & Gavaudan’s flagship fund with 18 years of experience.
BGHL’s investment objective is to provide an annual return, net of fees, of 400 to 600 basis points above the risk-free rate over the economic cycle, regardless of market performance. The risk-free rate is “the composite index of euro short-term rates”.
BG Fund relies on bottom-up fundamental and catalytic event research, combined with extensive expertise in multi-asset arbitrage and derivatives. Typically, investment ideas are catalyst driven and focus on particular situations and events.
Capital is dynamically allocated to the company’s best ideas and these ideas are categorized into four main types of strategies: equity, volatility, credit and trading strategies.
