Abbey Capital

Anthony Gannon founded the firm in 2000 and leads the investment committee as CEO. Mick Swift serves as Deputy CEO. The firm employs a dedicated manager research and portfolio construction team that selects and monitors the external CTA and macro managers across all portfolios.

Abbey Capital does not run proprietary trading strategies. It operates as a specialist allocator, selecting and combining external managed futures and global macro hedge fund managers into commingled funds and separate accounts for institutional clients. This distinguishes it from firms that employ in-house traders.

The firm focuses on managed futures and global macro strategies. Its portfolios span short-term, medium-term, and long-term trend followers, as well as discretionary global macro managers. In recent years it has expanded into multi-strategy blends that combine systematic momentum with global macro exposures.

As one of the world's largest dedicated managed futures allocators, Abbey Capital has long-standing relationships with many closed or capacity-constrained CTA managers. Its scale and two-decade track record give it preferential access terms and the ability to negotiate capacity that smaller allocators cannot match.

Yes. The firm is headquartered in Dublin and operates UCITS-compliant vehicles accessible to European and international investors. It also maintains US-facing pooled vehicles and separately managed accounts for American institutional clients, with an office in New York.

The firm is named after the Abbey Theatre in Dublin, reflecting its Irish headquarters and cultural roots. It has no connection to the UK's Abbey National or Santander financial groups.

Abbey Capital acts as a limited partner and allocator to external hedge fund managers. It does not own or operate the trading firms in its portfolios. It negotiates capacity, fee structures, and transparency terms on behalf of its investors, functioning as a delegated institutional gatekeeper.
