LONDON, November 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

NOT AN OFFER TO BUY OR SELL SECURITIES IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 

EG Capital Advisors ("EGCA"), an international investment management holding, today announces plans to launch an Emerging Markets High Yield Bond Fund ("the Fund") with initial committed AUM of US$ 50 million and commitment of US$ 150 million. The launch is scheduled for the first quarter of 2017.

The new UCITS-compliant Fund will focus on EM high-yield corporate securities based on EGCA's Emerging Markets High Yield Debt Strategy. The company has a strong track record of applying the same strategy to its existing funds with total AUM exceeding US$ 500 mln.

Coppin Collings ("CC"), a UK-based institutional asset management business, will provide the operational platform for the Fund, overseeing all aspects of compliance, regulation, operations, and trading activities on global markets. In addition, the distribution arm of CC, Access Alpha Worldwide, will facilitate distribution of EGCA products in the US and Canada.

Michael Stanton, member of the Supervisory Board of EG Capital Advisors commented: 

"Macroeconomic conditions are improving in certain emerging markets and we see significant opportunities in the EM corporate debt space. With the upcoming launch of our new fund we continue creating strong products with good yield and manageable risks based on our EM Corporate High Yield Strategy.

"Our flagship strategy is focused on generating high-single digit return through a combination of current income and long-term capital appreciation, and is backed by our strong in-house "bottom-up" fundamental credit selection and risk management."

Marina Akopian, CEO of Coppin Collings said:  

"We are delighted to welcome EG Capital Advisors onto our platform and we believe that EGCA's EM Corporate High Yield strategy will attract a lot of interest from institutional clients worldwide. The strong track record, disciplined investment process and a UCITS structure bode well for a successful launch and a rapid asset raising globally."
