EACM Advisors is a leading fund of funds manager who has been helping clients achieve their investment objectives for more than 20 years. The firm specializes in both hedge fund and long-only strategies. In the hedge fund area, they focus on multi-strategy fund of funds with consistent return objectives, as well as more specialized solutions, which may focus on a single strategy (e.g., event driven) or specific objectives (e.g., socially responsible). In the long-only area, EACM specializes in multi-manager funds focusing on entrepreneurial, fundamentally based managers. The firm believes that active management can produce meaningful alpha and that manager and style risk can be reduced through a multi-manager structure.

EACM and its predecessors are among the pioneers in manager-of-manager investing and have over 30 years experience in the evaluation and selection of investment managers. The firm has run alternative fund of fund portfolios for over 15 years and traditional multi-manager portfolios for over 20 years. Prior to that, the predecessor firm acted as investment consultants to a variety of institutional clients.
