Antipodes’ AUM exceeds $4bn


Antipodes Partners has seen a significant growth in assets under management (AUM) to $4 billion during the first two years.
The company said that in order to support its growth it expanded the team to 13 investment professionals, opened an offshore research office in London and launched its flagship global long/short strategy as an Australian listed company and an Ireland-domiciled UCITS fund.
Additionally, Zenith has recently upgraded its Global Fund to ‘highly recommended’ and Lonsec has awarded ‘recommended’ rating to the Antipodes Global Fund-Long Only.
Both funds were also recognised by Morningstar, which awarded its silver analyst rating to the Antipodes Global Fund- Long Only and a bronze analyst rating to the Antipodes Global Fund.
Antipodes Partners’ chief investment officer, Jacob Mitchell, said: “The past two years have certainly been an exciting time for the team.
“And now with the Antipodes Global Fund – UCITS launch, we are ready to offer this same opportunity to offshore investors, a significant step towards realising our global vision for Antipodes Partners.
“Furthermore, we are now at a size where opening an offshore research office can accelerate and enhance our investment process and, in that sense, London remains the ultimate melting pot for corporate access.”
