LMR Partners

What LMR Partners does

LMR Partners LLP is a privately held, London-headquartered global multi-strategy hedge fund founded in 2009 by Ben Levine and Stefan Renold, both former UBS Investment Bank traders. The firm manages approximately $14 billion in assets across six asset classes — commodities, credit, equity, event-driven, fixed income, and volatility — implemented through 65+ sub-strategies that blend discretionary and systematic approaches. Investment vehicles include the flagship LMR Multi-Strategy Fund Limited and two focused vehicles: LMR ART Fund Limited (rates/fixed income) and LMR CCSA Fund Limited (credit and structured assets).

The firm's platform combines a portfolio of roughly 430+ people across seven global offices (London, Hong Kong, New York, Zurich, Glasgow, Dubai, and Dublin) with a proprietary technology, risk, and operational stack built over more than a decade. Core technical capabilities include quantitative research and analytics that integrate data scientists with portfolio managers, daily stress-scenario risk management with strategy-level limits and flags, and a continuous optimisation loop across sub-strategy exposures. Distribution and revenue are wholly institutional: LMR charges traditional hedge fund management and performance fees on assets under management, accesses global institutional investors (pension funds, endowments, family offices, sovereign wealth funds) and qualified purchasers through private offering memoranda, and explicitly does not engage in public advertising or retail distribution. The firm is regulated across multiple jurisdictions (FCA, SEC/CFTC/NFA, FINMA, SFC, Central Bank of Ireland, DFSA).
