Certitude Global Investors has won three new investment mandates totalling $120 million into three of its international investment funds.
Columbia Credit Fund, Lighthouse Partners Global Long/Short Fund and Certitude Asian Opportunities were awarded $60 million, $45 million and $15 million respectively, the investment manager stated.
Certitude chief executive Craig Mowll said the mandates came from a large family office, a high net worth boutique deal group and a large trustee and multi-manager.
