Alts Manager New Holland Invests in Metals-Focused Shinfalls
New Holland Capital, an alternative investment manager and venture capital provider based in New York, has made a strategic investment in Shinfalls Commodities, a metals-focused startup hedge fund.
New Holland, which also manages over $6 billion in absolute return strategies for institutional clients, is providing substantial trading and working capital as well as foundational support for Shinfalls to launch its trading operations.
Shinfalls, which was founded in May this year by Bruce Mason, a former commodities trader at RWE Supply & Trading and Edesia Asset Management, is a specialist hedge fund manager focused on base, precious and industrial metals.
The London-based firm utilizes proprietary fundamental research and risk management expertise to trade financial derivatives contracts in metals and commodities.
“We believe that Bruce and Shinfalls are highly skilled metals investors with an impressive track record within the asset class, which creates a unique opportunity to provide our institutional clients with additional diverse, uncorrelated return streams. We look forward to our partnership with Shinfalls,” New Holland Capital CEO Scott Radke said.
