Two Pillars of Alpha Generation

Alister Hibbert's investment career is defined by two landmark strategies — each constructed to exploit distinct market inefficiencies through concentrated, conviction-driven portfolio construction.

001

Strategic Equity Hedge Fund Strategy

Founded by Alister Hibbert, this long/short equity hedge fund strategy deploys concentrated, high-conviction positions informed by rigorous bottom-up fundamental research. The strategy earned recognition as a Eurohedge Fund of the Year winner, reflecting its consistent ability to generate outsized risk-adjusted returns across varied market regimes.

  • Long/short equity with concentrated conviction positions
  • Deep fundamental research driving every allocation decision
  • Eurohedge Fund of the Year — peer-recognised excellence
  • Asymmetric payoff structures with disciplined risk limits
  • Dynamic gross and net exposure management
002

Global Unconstrained Equity Strategy

Co-founded by Alister Hibbert, this benchmark-agnostic strategy operates across the full global opportunity set without geographic, sector, or capitalisation constraints. The mandate is designed to capture the highest-conviction ideas wherever they emerge, with a relentless focus on asymmetric return potential and capital preservation.

  • No benchmark constraints — pure alpha orientation
  • Global opportunity set spanning developed and emerging markets
  • Focus on asymmetric returns with defined downside parameters
  • Flexible mandate enabling rapid capital reallocation
  • Structural edge through cross-border analytical capabilities

The Institutional Framework

Every strategy is underpinned by a proprietary three-pillar architecture — engineered for repeatability, scalability, and resilience across market cycles.

01

Capital Allocation Engine

A systematic framework for deploying capital across the highest-conviction opportunities. Position sizing is calibrated to the strength of the fundamental thesis, the liquidity profile of the underlying asset, and the prevailing risk environment. The engine dynamically adjusts gross and net exposure to reflect real-time conviction levels and macro conditions — ensuring capital is always allocated to its most productive use.

02

Risk Calibration Framework

Multi-layered risk architecture operating at position, sector, factor, and portfolio level. Stress testing, scenario analysis, and tail-risk modelling are embedded into the daily investment process. The framework enforces hard limits on concentration, drawdown, and correlation exposure — while preserving the flexibility to express high-conviction views with meaningful position sizes when the asymmetry warrants it.

03

Alpha Signal Integration

A proprietary process for synthesising fundamental, quantitative, and alternative data signals into actionable investment insights. The system integrates traditional bottom-up research with satellite data, natural language processing of filings, and cross-asset momentum indicators — creating a mosaic of evidence that sharpens conviction and accelerates the identification of mispriced securities across the global equity universe.

Regional Allocation Profile

Capital is deployed dynamically across the world's most liquid equity markets, with allocation weights reflecting the current distribution of high-conviction opportunities.

North America 35%
Europe 30%
Asia Pacific 20%
Emerging Markets 10%
Other 5%

What Sets These Strategies Apart

Concentrated Conviction

Portfolios are deliberately concentrated in 20-40 high-conviction positions. Every holding earns its place through exhaustive due diligence — there is no dilution for the sake of diversification. Capital follows conviction.

Benchmark Agnostic

Strategies are constructed without reference to index weights, sector allocations, or geographic norms. This freedom enables the pursuit of absolute returns unencumbered by the structural biases embedded in passive benchmarks.

Dynamic Hedging

Sophisticated overlay strategies — including options structures, index hedges, and factor neutralisation — protect capital during dislocations while preserving upside participation during favourable regimes.

Fundamental Edge

Deep, proprietary company research remains the irreplaceable foundation. Hundreds of management meetings, channel checks, and supply-chain analyses annually produce an informational and analytical edge that compounds over time.

"Strategy innovation is not about complexity for its own sake — it is about constructing the simplest possible framework that can reliably convert deep fundamental insight into superior compounding of capital over time."
