- Fund platform Kepler Partners has said it will add a hedge fund joint venture between Brevan Howard and David Gorton to its offering to clients.

The fund will employ a European legal structure called Ucits - Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities - which allows retail investors access, but also restricts the amount of risk the fund can undertake.

The $2.1 billion BH-DG joint venture trading firm sits in London with a team of 37 people and uses algorithms to follow market trends created by of macro-economic signals in stocks, bonds, currencies and commodities.

Clients of Kepler Partners can have exposure to the joint venture through its platform.
