New York (HedgeWorld.com)–The investment management division of Bank of America launched its first registered hedge fund of funds on April 1.

"Alternative investment products are increasingly filling an important role in an investor's asset allocation," said Larry Morgenthal, managing director of alternative investments at BACAP, in a statement.

"Designed to capture opportunity across the broad hedge fund landscape, yet limit the exposure to any one investment element through diversification, the BACAP Alternative Multi-Strategy Fund and its fund of hedge fund approach takes its place at the foundation of our product offerings for clients in this increasingly relevant space," he added.

The firm's total assets under management were at $310 billion as of the end of December. This is its second registered hedge fund. BACAP also runs Opportunity Strategy, a long-short technology fund launched in October 2002.
