On March 12, 2014, Deutsche Bank AG (Deutsche Bank) reported that Aggregator Solutions fund of Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management (DeAWM) - brand name of asset management & wealth management division of Deutsche Bank and its subsidiaries - has recently acquired an $85 million portfolio of illiquid hedge funds from a Swiss asset manager. According to the Company, the fund closed in August 2013 with commitments from professional investors of $1 billion. Commenting on the acquisition, Magnus Lorrain-Smith, Head of Hedge Fund Secondaries at DeAWM, stated, "This acquisition adds a diversified pool of hedge funds to Aggregator Solutions' portfolio. At the same time, it provides locked-up investors with liquidity. Many hedge fund investors have been struggling to find liquidity since the financial crisis. With DeAWM's deep knowledge of illiquid hedge fund strategies, we have a strong track record of creating bespoke solutions for professional investors who hold illiquid hedge fund shares and that want to sell. These solutions may help to optimize the seller's balance sheet, while also freeing them from the administrative complexity of dealing in the hedge fund secondary market."
