Our Product
Relative Value, Credit and Market Neutral Hedge Funds
Our role is to connect institutional investors and family offices with Hedge Fund managers whose strategies are intended to complement, rather than duplicate, existing portfolio exposures.
The team continually monitors macro conditions, interest-rate dynamics and cross-asset valuations in order to understand how different strategies may behave through the cycle. This informs a disciplined selection process in which only products deemed relevant and appropriate for qualified investors in the target jurisdictions are introduced. Encounter Capital does not manage assets or provide investment advice; it focuses on understanding the underlying strategies and facilitating informed dialogue between managers and investors.
We introduce products to both institutional investors and family offices who are classified as qualified investors under the applicable law. All introductions are made on a reverse-enquiry or private-placement basis, in accordance with local marketing, distribution and private-offering rules.
Encounter product focus
Encounter Capital works with funds managing from approximately USD 100 million to over USD 4 billion. At the smaller end of the range, the funds are specialist managers with a clearly defined strategy, such as access to differentiated credit, overlooked credit income streams or relative value opportunities that may be capacity-constrained. These strategies can offer investors exposure to less crowded segments of the market and are generally run by teams whose personal capital is meaningfully aligned with their investors.
​
The larger funds we introduce are managed by established, globally recognised asset managers with documented investment processes and governance frameworks who typically provide scalable, institutional-grade access to core exposures such as investment-grade and high-yield credit, structured credit, and liquid relative value strategies, with an emphasis on transparency, liquidity terms consistent with the underlying assets, and well-defined reporting.
Across this spectrum, the focus is on managers whose return drivers are not purely dependent on equity beta or broad market direction. The objective is to help investors address the opportunity cost of holding portfolios dominated by traditional market risk, by allocating a portion of capital to strategies with a clearer path to independent alpha and more resilient risk-adjusted outcomes.
Liquid alternatives
Multi-family offices and other qualified investors are showing strong interest in liquid alternative funds that can be integrated into existing custody and reporting infrastructure. These funds typically carry ISINs, are eligible for booking via custodian banks, and offer dealing frequencies and liquidity terms that are compatible with portfolio-level risk management.
Within liquid alternatives, Encounter Capital focuses on strategies where the expected correlation to traditional equity and bond benchmarks is low or conditional, such as market-neutral, relative value, specialist credit and volatility strategies. The aim is to introduce products that can help reduce overall portfolio volatility, steady return profiles and improve risk-adjusted performance over time, while remaining conscious of liquidity, transparency and governance standards expected by institutional and family-office investors in Israel and Switzerland.
Encounter Capital seeks to work only with managers who ensure that investors receive clear documentation on risks, fees, liquidity and strategy parameters, enabling investment committees to assess how each fund sits within their existing portfolio framework.
Tailoring our products
Encounter Capital collaborates with fund managers to tailor their vehicles, share and currency classes to the requirements of the jurisdictions in which they are introduced. This can include assessment of Funds to consider establishing additional currency-hedged share classes, adapting dealing arrangements for institutional platforms, and aligning documentation with the expectations of Israeli and Swiss qualified investors.
Encounter Capital seeks managers who provide high-quality reporting, risk analytics and transparency, so that institutions and family offices can integrate the products into their governance, compliance, and monitoring processes.
Encounter Capital acts exclusively as an introducer and placement agent; it does not provide personal recommendations, investment advice, tax advice or discretionary portfolio management. Prospective investors are expected to conduct their own due diligence and obtain independent advice before making any investment decision.
