In an outlook sent to its investors last month, also seen by Reuters, Red Kite said it expected “a great deal of uncertainty” to remain in the supply-demand of base metals for the fourth quarter through 2014.īut it also said the mine supply environment appeared “extremely conducive to lower copper prices in the 2014-2016 period”.Whether you are looking to make a sideways move to break into a different industry or are striving for that dream promotion, take a look at the latest opportunities from top tier companies recruiting industry talent. This year, the Red Kite funds lost money only once in the first nine months, in June, when copper hit a 3-year low of $6,602 a tonne on the London Metal Exchange. Those familiar with Red Kite’s strategy said it changed tack then, switching to a short position on copper and other metals that helped its funds to a strong finish in 2008 as the onset of the financial crisis caused a commodities meltdown. The firm had a good two years before it was wrong-footed on bullish bets on aluminum and copper in 2007 and lost almost half its value. Relative value trades are gaining traction in metals as investors try to reduce risk by exploiting price differentials between markets such as copper and aluminum.įarmer and Lilley, both alums of copper trading legend Metallgesellschaft AG, founded Red Kite in 2004. An investor report said the fund was focused on long/short and relative value trades in base and precious metals. Red Kite’s Compass Fund, its largest with nearly $500 million under management, gained 13 percent in the first nine months. In September, metals-and-energy-focused Clive Capital, run since 2007 by Chris Levett and with about $5 billion under management at its peak, closed after three straight years of losses.

Oil-focused Astenbeck, a more than $4 billion fund run by Andy Hall, who also heads up trading firm Phibro, is down 5 percent. Armajaro this week sold its lost-making physical cocoa and coffee trading unit to Switzerland’s Ecom. A city financier and former Conservative Party treasurer known as Mr Copper has shut one of his hedge funds following a sweeping overhaul.

The flagship fund at cocoa-and-coffee-focused Armajaro which manages around $1 billion and trades most major commodities, is up just 3 percent through October. Many funds focused on the energy, metals and agricultural markets are down for the year or have eked out only small gains due to range-bound raw materials prices and tough trading conditions. Red Kite’s run of profits since 2011 contrasts with meager returns at other hedge fund firms that also have physical commodity trading operations.
