The Optima Emerging Markets Fund\u00c3\u00af\u00c2\u00bf\u00c2\u00bds (OEM) will becomprised of emerging market managers.<\/p>\n<p>  According to the press release, \u00c3\u00af\u00c2\u00bf\u00c2\u00bdOEM will allow investors to participate in the superior long term growth opportunity offered by emerging markets whose economies are growing at close to double the  rates of developed markets. Despite the strong rally experienced by emerging markets in 2003, valuations remain at a significant discount relative to those of developed markets, giving rise to  considerable return potential\u00c3\u00af\u00c2\u00bf\u00c2\u00bd.<\/p>\n<p>  In his statement, the founder and managing director of Optima Fund Management, Mr. Dixon Boardman, said, \u00c3\u00af\u00c2\u00bf\u00c2\u00bdI am very excited about our latest fund. There are many areas of the world including China  and India where the economies are growing faster than both Europe and the US. The case for emerging markets is more compelling today than it has been in nearly a decade. The Optima Emerging Markets  Fund has been created to take advantage of this in a structured way utilizing effective hedging strategies\u00c3\u00af\u00c2\u00bf\u00c2\u00bd.<\/p>\n<p>  The press release further stated, \u00c3\u00af\u00c2\u00bf\u00c2\u00bdEmerging markets have been showing a declining correlation generally to developed country markets. Assuming this trend continues, this means that investing wisely  in these markets could well provide an interesting risk diversification for sophisticated investors, in addition to their greater potential for growth and development\u00c3\u00af\u00c2\u00bf\u00c2\u00bd.<\/p>\n<p>  The new fund will invest in managers with low votality, using the long\/short hedge fund trading strategy; an effort geared towards protection of investors from the turbulent equity markets. Fee  structure and minimum investment requirements were not immediately available.<\/p>\n<p>  Optima Fund Management is based in New York.
