Tiburon launches Taiko and Terra funds

Tiburon Partners will launch its new Ucits III Taiko and Terra funds on 27 October.

The long-only Taiko fund will focus on Japanese equities, in a concentrated portfolio of 25-30 stocks. It will be managed by Rupert Kimber, who has 23 years experience in the market, 15 of which have been spent in Tokyo. Terra, a global renewable energy hedge fund, will be managed by founding Hexam Capital partner John Payne, along with Steve Miller. While its main focus will be on renewables, the mandate includes natural resources and conventional energy. Taiko and Terra join Tiburon's four existing mandates - the Tiger, Growth, Taipan and Tao funds.
