Customized and Transparent Money Management From Erickson Capital

LOS ANGELES, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Jan 6, 2009 -- Erickson Capital announced today that the company is offering customized and transparent money management services for institutional and high-net-worth investors. "We're essentially offering individual, customized hedge fund portfolios with daily liquidity, and without onerous performance fees, withdrawal restrictions or leverage," says Dean Erickson, CFA, founder of Erickson Capital.

Investors have a choice of independent, world-class custodians and online access to monitor trading in, and the performance of, their accounts. "In light of the recent Madoff debacle, transparency is critical," Erickson continues. "Allowing investors to know exactly how their money is invested, and giving them the opportunity to get their money back whenever they want it, is only fair. Using independent custodians with no ties to the investment manager is crucial to achieving this."

Specific strategies can be relatively low risk or higher risk depending on client preference, but each portfolio will be designed to benefit from pricing inefficiencies, effective hedging strategies, and the capture of time premium and high yields while investing in a non-leveraged, diversified manner. "This type of money management can be the perfect solution for endowments, foundations and wealthy investors," says Erickson. (Results of money management strategies will be reduced by management fees and there is no guarantee that any strategy will be successful.)

Erickson began his career as an options arbitrage trader at Miller Tabak in 1982, after graduating from Brown University with a degree in Mathematical-Economics. He managed a risk arbitrage portfolio for the same firm and became a Chartered Financial Analyst in 1987. Before starting Erickson Capital, he worked as an advisor at UBS Financial Services.
