HONG KONG, Sept. 2, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- OP Investment Management ("OPIM"), Asia's leading emerging hedge fund platform, is partnering with Button Investment Management to launch Button Growth Fund (the "Fund"), which is Cayman-domiciled and for professional investors only.
The Fund, managed by Mr. Yunye LU, deploys a long-short equity strategy primarily investing in US, Hong Kong, and mainland China markets. Applying a fundamental bottom up approach, the portfolio will target cyclical and strategically sound companies which exhibit competitive moats. It will also deploy single-stock short opportunities that are overvalued or deteriorated upward momentum.
Before launching the Fund, Mr. LU was previously a portfolio manager for HJY Capital Advisors where he managed a long short equity fund for three years. Mr. Lu was also professional poker player from 2012 to 2016, participating in both cash games and tournaments around Asia, including second place in one of the leading regional competitions. He began his career at Daiwa Capital as an equity analyst. He received his MBA in Finance from UCLA Anderson School of Management and holds a Bachelor of Engineering and Master of Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Before transitioning to asset management, Mr. LU worked as a software engineer.
"While we maintain a dynamic approach to portfolio construction, we prioritize investing in the best companies as a key tenet of our investment philosophy, as we believe that's where the most long-term value comes from." Mr. Lu explained.
"Following his tenure at HJY, Button Growth is a great opportunity for allocators to participate in Yunye's dynamic approach to a traditional value investing strategy." Alvin Fan, Chief Executive Officer of OPIM added.
