The strategy aims to deliver annual positive absolute returns. We achieve this through our Asymmetric investment approach. 

 

The Arnott Opportunities Strategy is managed with the intention of delivering positive annual returns, regardless of how any financial market performs. We aim to produce above average returns with below average drawdowns. This is Asymmetric Investing. 

 

Our Competitive Advantage:

 

The Objective

Unique

Being lateral thinkers, the portfolio is constructed with a collection of unique asymmetric investment themes. 

 

Endure various market conditions

The portfolio is curated to endure a board range of market outcomes. 

 

The Outcome

Uncorrelated

The portfolio offers a return profile that is uncorrelated with any asset class - equities and other alternate asset managers. 

 

Proven performance history for 20+ years

Since 1999, Arnott Capital has delivered asymmetric returns. This demonstrates that our investment outcome matches our investment objective. 

 

The Fund adopts an absolute return strategy, we focus on global equity long/short, with a thematic lens. We seek to achieve the investment objective through our asymmetric investment approach which includes:

  1. Finding what we perceive to be good quality investments based on our analysis; and
  2. Not losing money in the pursuit of realising these investments.

We strive to achieve asymmetric returns though a thematic investment process. 

 

This has four pillars.

  1. Find asymmetric themes;
  2. Invest in the best ideas within those themes;
  3. Focus on macro drivers for risk & opportunities; and
  4. Generate an asymmetric return profile.

 

The Fund investment universe is unconstrained. In seeking out thematic opportunities, the fund may invest in different asset classes, including but not limited to;

  1. Commodities (including heavy metals);
  2. Carbon products;
  3. All derivatives;
  4. Fixed income;
  5. Listed and unlisted equities;
  6. Hybrids;
  7. Currencies (including digital and crypto assets);
  8. Other new asset classes as they are developed.

We typically invest in mid, large and mega cap names in developed markets.
