Cheyne Capital is a London-based alternative asset manager. The firm launched its first fund in 2000 and today specializes in Real Estate Debt, Social Property Impact, Corporate Credit, Convertible Bonds, Event Driven Investing and Equities. It is one of the largest alternative asset managers in Europe[1] with mandates from pension funds, foundations, family offices, and funds of funds.

The Cheyne group currently employs approximately 150 people with its offices in London, Switzerland, Bermuda and New York.

The firm's co-founder, Stuart Fiertz, was a member of the 14-person Hedge Fund Working Group, which devised best practice policies regarding financial valuation, transparency, and risk management.[2][3] Those guidelines evolved into what is now the Hedge Fund Standards Board, a self-regulatory body of which Cheyne is a member.[4] It is also a member of the Alternative Investment Management Association (AIMA).[5] In 2003, the company signed a three year contract with Mark-it Partners for the daily supply of credit derivatives swap data.[6]
