With the current volatility facing equity markets, how will you protect your investments in the next major correction?
Atlantic Pacific Australian Equity Fund (APAEF)
If you’re looking for appreciable long-term investment returns to support the future you deserve, but are concerned about and want help navigating share market risk, the APAEF may be a good choice for you.
The APAEF is an Australian owned long/short (hedge) fund which typically buys or short sells Australian listed securities and ASX200 futures contracts, offering downside protection, while still providing strong upside returns.
Risk management is an essential part of our DNA. We are not prepared to accept large drawdowns in the funds entrusted to us by our investors, the reality faced by most long-only fund managers during market downturns.
These active hedging and trading strategies have helped protect and grow investor capital through repeated market downturns over the past 9 years, and have powered the Fund’s long-term stable returns.
