AlphaMetrix Encountering “Significant Cash Flow Issues” According to Firm

Alphametrix, one of the largest independent alternative investment platforms for hedge funds and managed futures, said it has “encountered significant cash flow issues,” according to a letter obtained by Opalesque and confirmed by multiple commodity trading advisors.

The letter also announced the firing of its Chief Financial Officer and said the firm retained the services of accountant Arthur Bell to “review and assist us in improving our internal controls and recordkeeping procedures.”

“In operation of our business, we regularly run intercompany balances between and amongst our affiliates,” the letter said.  “Our regulated commodity pool operator, AlphaMetrix, LLC (the CPO) is one such affiliate with whom there are intercompany balances.  The CPO’s assets consist largely of a receivable owed to it by (the) Parent. Parent has recently encountered significant cash flow issues and is working to strengthen its current financial position and its continued operation.”

The letter announced it will no longer pay hedge fund and Commodity Trading Advisor (CTA) management and incentive fees.  Alphametrixis a technology platform that enables institutional investors and qualified eligible participants to invest in hedge funds and managed futures programs.
