A&Q (UBS Hedge Fund Solutions)
A&Q, short for Alternative and Quantitative Investments, is the hedge fund solutions and fund-of-funds platform of UBS Asset Management. Operating through UBS Alternative and Quantitative Investments LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of UBS AG, the platform is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment adviser. According to UBS Asset Management's alternatives platform at ubs.com, A&Q has a long history of providing institutional and high-net-worth investors with access to diversified portfolios of alternative investment managers, drawing on the global resources and deep research capabilities of one of the world's largest financial institutions, which manages more than $1.6 trillion in invested assets globally.
The A&Q platform specializes in building multi-manager alternative investment portfolios, offering investors access to hedge funds and alternative strategies across equity long/short, fixed income, trading, and other alternative approaches. With UBS's extensive global network and institutional infrastructure behind it, A&Q offers clients access to alternative investment managers and strategies that may otherwise be difficult to access on a standalone basis. According to ubs.com, the platform benefits from UBS's proprietary research, technology, and compliance infrastructure, enabling a disciplined and scalable approach to alternative asset allocation that serves a diverse global investor base spanning pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, endowments, foundations, family offices, and high-net-worth individuals.
A&Q's registered fund platform includes a number of closed-end management investment companies such as the A&Q Technology Fund, A&Q Long/Short Strategies Fund, A&Q Masters Fund, and A&Q Multi-Strategy Fund, each providing investors with structured access to a curated selection of alternative investment managers within specific strategy mandates. These funds, which began as O'Connor Fund of Funds products before being rebranded under the A&Q umbrella, provide institutional-grade manager selection, operational due diligence, and ongoing monitoring within a registered 1940 Act fund structure. A&Q's ongoing product development reflects the platform's commitment to delivering differentiated investment solutions within the broader alternatives landscape, combining the credibility and resources of UBS with focused expertise in alternative manager selection and portfolio construction.
