What Brummer & Partners does

Brummer & Partners AB is a privately held Swedish multi-strategy, multi-manager hedge fund firm founded in 1996 and headquartered at Norrmalmstorg 14 in Stockholm, with a regulated UK subsidiary in London. The firm operates the Brummer Multi-Strategy platform, which allocates risk dynamically across 10–15 underlying strategies run by in-house portfolio management teams spanning Long/Short Equity, Systematic Macro, Systematic Trend, Fixed Income & Macro, and Convexity. The platform combines approximately 4,500 active positions across more than 500 liquid markets and is supported by a proprietary real-time risk management system that enables multi-dimensional portfolio analysis of risks, exposures, and performance. The product suite is offered in four formats — Brummer 1xL (lower-risk baseline), Brummer 2xL (higher-risk, 2x volatility), Brummer UCITS (UCITS-compliant, 1.5x volatility, most liquid), and Brummer International (formerly Cayman, 2x volatility) — distributed across multiple currency and share classes.

The firm makes money primarily through management fees (approximately 1% per annum at the Master fund level for the BMS AIF structure, and 2% for Brummer International) plus performance fees of typically 20% above a hurdle rate, with individual strategy-level performance fees in the 17.5%–22.5% range. Distribution is anchored by dedicated Investor Relations teams in Stockholm and London targeting institutional investors (pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, endowments, insurance companies), supplemented by wealth-manager/adviser channels for Swedish private investors, corporate pension solutions, and direct online access. The organization employs approximately 300 staff, including over 100 with mathematics degrees and a dozen PhDs, and operates under a partnership ownership model in which the parent company is owned by partners who also hold leading management positions; wholly-owned subsidiaries B & P Fund Services AB (shared infrastructure) and Brummer Multi-Strategy AB (regulated manager) anchor the group structure, with Brummer & Partners Asset Management (UK) Ltd providing FCA-authorized distribution. Regulatory coverage includes Finansinspektionen authorization in Sweden, FCA authorization in the UK, SFDR Article 8 fund classifications, PRI signatory status since 2016, and founding membership in SBAI.
