FERI and Goldman Sachs deepen cooperation – Two innovative UCITS Hedge Funds successfully launched

FERI AG and Goldman Sachs Europe Bank SE have deepened their existing successful cooperation. Building on this, FERI AG launched two new UCITS hedge funds at the end of 2025: the FERI Global Select Long Short Fund (ISIN: DE000A41ACX7) and the FERI Systematic Market Neutral Fund (ISIN: DE000A41AD06). Solely managed by FERI, both funds have been available to investors since November 2025. Since their launch, more than 75 million EUR in entrusted client assets are being managed, and both funds have started with positive performance.

The implementation of the innovative long/short strategy marks an important milestone in the long-standing cooperation and provides professional investors with exclusive access to FERI’s more than 25 years of expertise in hedge fund investments. FERI continues its successful strategy of expanding its own asset management offering when comparable innovative concepts are not available on the market.

Dr. Marcel V. Lähn, Member of the Management Board and CIO of FERI AG, said: “Long/short strategies are an essential building block of a hedge fund allocation. With these two innovative funds, we are consistently further expanding our Multi Asset offering and providing investors with exclusive access to our long-standing investment expertise in the hedge fund space.”

FERI’s objective is to provide investors with access to innovative strategies that unlock return opportunities while also supporting portfolio stability using Goldman Sachs’ equity long short execution platform. The two funds are offered in a UCITS wrapper, aim for a largely market-neutral risk-return profile, and are designed to complement each other.

Michael Schmitz, co-head Global Banking and Markets Public for Germany & Austria at Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE, adds: “The fund launch is a testament to our intensive and trusting relationship, showcasing the strength of our collaboration and our shared vision to deliver innovative investment solutions to the German market.”

Dr. Marcel V. Lähn added: “Our collaboration with Goldman Sachs is a key success factor for us. Together, we create solutions that provide our clients with access to attractive strategies while consistently advancing our growth strategy in asset management.”

Together, the two funds form the FERI Long/Short Strategy, which combines the return opportunities of a more offensive investment strategy with the stability of a market-neutral strategy, thereby creating a balanced risk-return profile.

The FERI Global Select Long Short Fund is a diversified equity long/short strategy with reduced equity market volatility that makes the best investment ideas of globally operating offshore long/short hedge fund managers investable in a liquid UCITS structure , while the FERI Systematic Market Neutral Fund is a rule-based, systematically managed equity long/short strategy with a market-neutral character, based on the proven selection process of FERI Systematic Global Equity.
