Malaysia-based Maybank has teamed up with investment services firm SEI for the launch of a liquid alternative fund. The partnership is designed to broaden SEI’s global footprint while giving Maybank’s retail investor clients access to new vehicles. The MAMG Liquid Alternative Fund is a private label feeder fund structured as a Malaysian unit trust that invests in the SEI Liquid Alternative Fund. Liquid alternatives were developed in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. By providing daily liquidity and frequent trading as well as investing in alternative asset classes, the funds were designed to offer protection to retail investors. “With our new liquid alternative fund strategy, investors can access a differentiated solution that offers low volatility and correlation to traditional assets,” said Alvin lee, head of wealth management at Maybank. ©2022 funds global asia
