The two companies intend to launch mutual funds that will invest in non-Argentine securities and be marketed to Argentine retail and institutional investors, including insurance companies and pension funds.

The first product will be the Copernico Alliance Brazil Fixed Income Fund, sub-advised by BCN Alliance Capital Management in Brazil. BCN is a Brazilian asset management company owned jointly by Alliance Capital and Sao Paulo-based Banco de Credito Nacional.

"Argentina's swift-growing mutual fund market should expand rapidly as Argentine citizens embrace mutual funds for their retirement savings and as pension funds invest a larger portion of their assets in mutual funds," said Jon Groom, head of offshore funds for Alliance Capital, adding that Copernico brought valued access to the local market.

Alliance already has Latin America exposure through its family of Luxembourg-domiciled offshore mutual funds, the ACM Offshore Funds, as well as its joint venture with BCN.
