In 1996, Superfund launched its first alternative investment product, the Superfund Q-AG.[2]
In 2002, Superfund received admission for sale by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to offer its funds in the United States.[3] In 2003 Superfund was internationally launched as the new generation of Quadriga funds, and in 2004 Quadriga renamed itself Superfund. During the same time Superfund expanded its presence in Asia through its offices in Japan and Hong Kong and was one of the early entrants in the region. Its funds are domiciled in various jurisdictions such as Luxembourg, Cayman, U.S.A., Japan and Poland.
Between 1991 and 1996, the first computerized Superfund trading system was conceptualized and developed by Christian Baha, who is the founder of the group. [citation needed] Superfund strategies trade across 150 global commodity and financial futures markets. [citation needed]
2008 was one of the best years for CTA funds which manage close to US$300 Billion as per Barclay CTA, however subsequent years have been challenging for trend following funds. Christian Baha was ranked 22 on the world's most successful managers in 2008, but his funds were hit particularly hard in the following years.[4] More recently he expanded the investment management team to 55.[citation needed]
Superfund developed a full systematic global equity market neutral strategy which has recently[when?] been used in an approved UCITS IV fund authorised for retail distribution in Luxembourg and other European countries.[citation needed]
In June 2010, the firm closed six international offices and laid off staff as part of cost-saving measures.[5]
In March 2022, Austrian Ex-Finance Minister Gernot Blümel became the CEO of the Superfund Group.[6]
