Jacob Mitchell,

Leading global equities investment boutique Antipodes Partners has had its Global Long-Short Strategy added to Colonial First State’s FirstChoice platform.

Antipodes’ assets under management (AUM) has increased to approximately A $7 billion in just three years since its formation – with around half being sourced from institutions and half from retail investors (including SMSFs and high net worth individuals).

Antipodes Partners is a global asset manager offering a pragmatic value investment approach.

Established in 2015 by Jacob Mitchell, Antipodes Partners seeks to take advantage of the market’s tendency for irrational extrapolation, identify investments that offer a high margin of safety and build portfolios with a capital preservation focus.

Antipodes’ Global Long-Short Strategy (’Strategy’) invests in a select number of attractively valued companies listed on global share markets. Net equity exposure ranges from 50-100% but has typically been around 60% since inception. Equity shorts and currency positions may be used to take advantage of attractive opportunities, offset specific unwanted portfolio risks and provide some protection from negative tail risks. Derivatives may also be used to amplify high conviction ideas.

Since inception (1 July 2015), the Global Long-Short Strategy has exceeded its Benchmark (MSCI All Country World Net Index in USD) by 12.5%, delivering a total return of 41.8%, as at 31 May 2018.
