History
Record was established in 1983 by Neil Record, who had worked
at the Bank of England and at Mars Group in currency and commodity
forecasting and hedging, and continues as Record's Chairman
today. Neil established Record in 1983 to build on the
investment process he had developed to bring about asymmetric
hedging outcomes, which continues to form the core of our Dynamic Hedging
product.
Record grew from 1983 largely around hedging for both corporate
and institutional clients, with mandates including the world's
first stand-alone currency hedging, or 'overlay' mandate, in
1985. From 2003 Record's return-seeking currency business
grew, with the launch of the 'Currency Alpha' product. This
grew rapidly in the following years, including with the launch in
2005 of Record's Dublin-based pooled fund range.
Since 2009 Record has sought greater product diversification,
whilst remaining focused on currency management. Examples of
this include Record's first index-tracking currency fund in 2009,
the Emerging Market Currency Fund in 2010, and the Euro Stress Fund
in 2011.
