About The Fund

Magnetar Capital, established in 2005 and based in Evanston, Illinois, is a leading alternative asset manager. The firm engages in direct investments across several domains – it focuses on equity and credit investments in both public and private markets. The assets under their management are guided by the executive management team. Magnetar encompasses a broad investment approach, which includes Systematic Investing, Alternative Credit and Fixed Income, Healthcare, and Ventures. In their Systematic Investing strategy, they aim to capitalize on returns typically associated with traditional hedge fund strategies but do so through a rules-based, transparent, and liquid approach. Their Alternative Credit & Fixed Income business endeavors to fill the gaps created by the evolving role of financial institutions, providing businesses with the capital necessary for growth. The Healthcare sector of Magnetar takes on a dynamic long/short equity strategy, leveraging fundamental analysis and focusing on process-oriented diligence while maintaining diversity across market segments, sub-sectors, and companies. Furthermore, the Ventures arm of Magnetar collaborates with early to growth-stage companies that have the potential to redefine industries and achieve market leadership. As of September 30, 2024, Magnetar Capital manages approximately $18.6 billion in assets, a sizable portion of which is attributed to their persistent innovation, long-term partnership focus, and client-centric solutions that continually redefine market expectations. They have seen substantial net capital inflows and have been responsible for significant distributions of capital to investors since inception. Not content with the status quo, Magnetar thrives in 'whitespaces' — areas ripe for innovation — and positions itself as a firm that drives disruptive change in the investment landscape, striving for generating tomorrow's diversifying return streams.
