This fund has been on our radar for a while thanks to the strong absolute returns it has generated since launch. We had an interesting introductory meeting covering the team, investment process, and performance. The fund is managed using a 'multi sleeve' approach where two portfolio managers leverage the ideas of six global sector specialists. The result is a diversified global long short portfolio, which although run with a long bias over time, shorting has added significant value since launch. Although the fund currently has a relatively low level of AUM we would expect it to gain traction with investors if performance continues in a similar vein.
