DBi
DBi was established in 2012 by Andrew Beer, previously at Baupost Group, and Mathias Mamou-Mani. The founders built the firm around quantitative replication of hedge fund returns rather than direct fund access. The firm deploys capital into managed futures and absolute return strategies. It structures exposure through ETFs and UCITS products that target liquid, diversified elements of hedge fund portfolios. Confirmed investment types include commodities and fund-of-funds vehicles. Geographic reach covers North America, Europe and Asia. No recent operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. iM Global Partner has held a non-controlling stake since 2018 and collaborates on multiple US and European funds. The firm maintains a signatory role with the UN Principles for Responsible Investment. DBi operates with a hybrid structure that pairs internal replication models with external distribution partners. This setup separates the quantitative engine from traditional fund-of-funds commitments while preserving access to daily liquidity for clients.
