Bengal Asset Management provides investment advice to its proprietary pooled investment vehicles. Bengal invests primarily in Japanese equities, taking both long and short positions to manage risk and enhance performance. Bengal may also use futures, options, and synthetic instruments. Bengal tailors its advisory services to the investment objectives and restrictions established by each managed account.
Bengal Asset Management manages investments for pooled investment vehicles (funds) and managed accounts.
For the funds, investors are charged a pro rata share of the management fee, generally equal to 2.0% per year of the fund's net assets. Bengal also has the potential to earn a performance-based fee equal to 20% of the appreciation on the net asset value of the fund.
For managed accounts, Bengal generally receives management fees and performance fees that are subject to negotiation and may vary from those paid by the funds.
