Argos Managers is a specialist fund management group based in Geneva. We currently manage €140 million through five separate investment strategies, two of them single manager equity funds and three multi-manager funds. Argos Managers has an exciting strategy for growth which will include the launch of 7 new fund vehicles in the next 2-3 months, in the "Alternative Equity" and "Luxury Physical Asset" categories described below.
Our activities fall into three categories:
* Alternative Equity Funds
Stock selection-based strategies which provide genuine "alternatives" to traditional equity funds, and to unregulated long/short funds. Each of our strategies has produced better absolute or risk-adjusted returns than relevant benchmark indices. But they differ from most traditional equity funds in another very important way: they have generated further alpha by resisting market downturns (through hedging and other measures) and by then "keeping up" with markets when they rise.
* Luxury Physical Asset Funds
Funds investing in physical assets to seek strong risk-adjusted returns and provide a genuine uncorrelated alternative to traditional funds and hedge funds. The focus on top-end luxury products means that the funds are a long term play on global economic growth and wealth creation, as well as the ability of genuine experts to create value in what remain extremely inefficient markets.
* Client-Tailored Hedge Fund Portfolios
Funds of long only or hedge funds offered to investors on a "customized managed account" basis or in Luxembourg Part 2 SICAV format. This service enables our clients to partner with a leading fund of hedge fund manager to create a portfolio of hedge funds which responds directly to the individual customer's requiements.
