Macquarie Asian Alpha Fund - Managed Fund (Closed)

Fund Objective
The Fund aims to generate value by identifying investment opportunities related to listed Asia-Pacific companies. The Fund holds both long and short positions with the aim of generating returns with a lower exposure to the overall performance of the Asia-Pacific equity markets than a traditional long only investment.
Fund Strategy
The Fund uses quantitative screening techniques which are designed to systematically identify companies the investment manager believes deviate from fair value. Further, the investment manager also uses additional non-systematic company analysis to assess information not easily captured in the quantitative data.
