Minimal volatility strategy sees Atrium secure $1b FUM
Blocking out market noise and adopting a "minimal volatility" strategy has seen Atrium Investment Management reach $1 billion in funds under management (FUM).
Atrium chairman, Chris Cuffe, said the firm's strength was in the ‘purity' of its investment foundations.
"Atrium is a prime example of a new breed of ‘true' active investors available to Australian financial advisers and clients," he said.
Cuffe said many investors remain concerned about their investments, with a range of external factors potentially impacting their portfolios, considering the prevailing investment environment of historically low cash rates, volatile equity markets and poor yielding bonds.
"Atrium, with its well-diversified, specialist investment management capability is a welcome and intelligent alternative to the multitude of long-only Australian equity managers, or index funds," he said.
