Stockholm (HedgeNordic) – Danske Bank Asset Management’s Quant & Overlay team, known for managing several quant-focused hedge funds, has announced the launch of a new quant equity fund, Danske Invest Global Quant. The fund leverages the team’s time-tested global multi-factor quant strategies, while incorporating a smaller exposure to quant-driven thematic investments.

“Alongside the strong performance, we have experienced a significant increase in interest in our quant strategies,” says Thomas Gade, Head of Quant & Overlay at Danske Bank Asset Management. “We already offer tailor-made quant solutions for larger institutional clients, and with the new fund, an even broader range of investors can gain exposure to our quant strategies,” he adds. Gade leads the Quant & Overlay team at Danske Bank Asset Management, which manages several hedge funds, including Danske Invest Global Cross Asset Volatility and Danske Invest Global Alternative Opportunities.

Danske Invest Global Cross Asset Volatility, a multi-asset, multi-strategy fund employing volatility-focused strategies, delivered its best annual performance to date in 2024 with a 10.8 percent return, surpassing its previous record of 10.3 percent achieved the year before. Meanwhile, Danske Invest Global Alternative Opportunities, designed to capture alternative risk premia across multiple asset classes, returned 3.3 percent by the end of 2022 following its August launch, followed by gains of 6.6 percent in 2023 and 6.8 percent in 2024.

The newly launched Danske Invest Global Quant leverages the team’s global multi-factor quant strategies, which have constituted a significant part of the global equity exposure in the asset manager’s portfolio solutions. A smaller portion of the fund focuses on thematic investments targeting trends such as emerging technologies, defense stocks, and high-dividend equities, with stock selection driven by quantitative models. The fund is managed by three members of the Quant & Overlay Team, including Petteri K., René Ebbesen, and Alexander Hornshøj Friis.
