Business
DG Partners LLP (“DG Partners” or the “Firm”) is an investment manager based in London,
United Kingdom. The Firm was established in 2002.
Mr. David Gorton serves as the Firm’s Chief Investment Officer.
The Firm has two corporate members: DG Partners Services Limited (the “Service
Company”) and DG Systematic Holdings Limited. The Service Company is a wholly
owned subsidiary of DG Partners International Limited. The Firm also has a number of
individual members.
The Service Company owns more than 75% of the capital of DG Partners. David Gorton
owns more than 75% of DG Partners International Limited.
The Firm has entered into a secondment and services agreement (the “Services
Agreement”) with the Service Company and the Firm’s affiliate, BH-DG Systematic
Trading LLP (“BH-DG”). Pursuant to the Services Agreement, certain staff members of the
Firm are seconded from the Service Company and BH-DG. Similarly, the Firm seconds
certain staff members to BH-DG. Further, the Firm may at times deploy staff in multiple
internal roles across its business. BH-DG forms part of a joint venture with Brevan
Howard. DG Systematic Holdings Limited is also a corporate member of BH-DG. The Firm
relies on its policies and processes to minimize any potential conflict that might result
from such arrangements.
The Firm focuses on investments in fixed income, futures and FX markets with a strong
emphasis on liquidity, risk control and investor transparency.
The Firm currently advises five private funds (the “Funds”):
•DG Macro Fund Limited: the fund follows a global macro trading strategy with a fixed-
income emphasis. Trading views are expressed through liquid instruments which are
diversified and across multiple asset classes including (but not limited to), fixed
income, foreign exchange, commodity futures and equity index futures;
•BH-DG Systematic Trading Master Fund Limited (the “Systematic Master Fund”) and its
feeder funds, BH-DG Systematic Trading Fund Limited and BH-DG Systematic Trading
Fund, LP: the Systematic Master Fund utilises systematic trading strategies all of which
are predicated on the belief that the application of statistical methods and
quantitative risk management can detect and subsequently exploit predictable
behaviour in financial prices. These systematic trading strategies are deployed across
a large number of liquid markets;
•BH-DG Systematic Trading ERISA Fund Limited: the fund utilises systematic trading
strategies all of which are predicated on the belief that the
application of statistical
methods and quantitative risk management can detect and subsequently exploit
predictable behaviour in financial prices. These systematic trading strategies are
deployed across a large number of liquid markets.
Advisory
Business
The list of Funds above excludes those vehicles which are akin to managed accounts
which the Firm manages but does not market to third parties (“Managed Accounts”).
The Firm also provides trade execution services to BH-DG and its clients and may
aggregate client orders with orders for clients of BH-DG.
DG Partners is authorized and regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority and only
provides services to professional and institutional clients.
The same macro and systematic trading strategies that are employed to manage the
portfolios of (or a portion of portfolios of) clients of DG Partners are, or may be,
employed to manage the portfolios of (or a portion of the portfolios of) other direct or
indirect clients of BH-DG. DG Partners believes that the nature of its investment
strategies and its well-defined investment process minimize this potential conflict. In
addition, the Firm has adopted policies and procedures designed to minimize such
conflict.
Private funds and managed accounts may follow different strategies and/or different
variants of strategies (for example, in order to comply with particular investment
restrictions specified by the client or required by law or regulation). Investors in the
Funds may not restrict the manner or types of investments made by the Funds, however
Managed Account clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or
types of securities as well as such other restrictions as they may require.
The Firm does not participate in wrap fee programs.
As of December 31, 2023, DG Partners managed approximately $1,137,248,880 of
regulatory assets under management on a discretionary basis. The Firm does not
manage any assets on a non-discretionary basis (though it does provide the
aforementioned trade execution services to BH-DG).
