ABS Global Investments

ABS Global Investments provides investment advisory and portfolio management services primarily to pooled vehicles and institutional investors, including registered investment companies, a collective investment trust, private funds and bespoke managed accounts. Its stated investor base includes banks and thrift institutions, corporate and public pension plans, endowments and foundations, high‑net‑worth individuals and other business entities.

The firm follows a multi‑manager allocation approach, investing client capital principally in domestic and offshore private investment funds and managed accounts selected by ABS, and it applies a formal manager selection process that considers manager tenure, volatility, liquidity, leverage, fees and other qualitative factors. Strategies may include listed equities, late‑stage private equity, options, forwards and other derivative instruments, and several of its products focus on emerging markets exposures.

ABS serves as general partner, managing member or investment manager for a range of affiliated vehicles while also selecting and allocating to third‑party fund managers, which increases its operational reliance on managers’ reporting and controls. The firm has structured its business to include both registered funds and private partnerships, maintains managed accounts for large individual mandates, and has availed itself of a Commodity Futures Trading Commission exemption rather than registering as a commodity trading adviser — features that differentiate it from many peers.
