Antipodes is a global asset manager offering a pragmatic value approach across long only and longshort strategies. It aspires to grow client wealth over the long-term by generating absolute returns in excess of the benchmark at below market levels of risk. Antipodes seeks to take advantage of the market's tendency for irrational extrapolation, identify investments that offer a high margin of safety and build high conviction portfolios with a capital preservation focus.

Antipodes is majority owned by its investment team and its performance culture is underpinned by incentives, a focused offering and the outsourcing of non-investment functions to maximise focus on investing.

The Fund aims to provide long-term capital growth over a three to five year period, prior to exchange rates effects primarily by investing in companies across a range of market capitalisations listed in Hong Kong, mainland China, Macau and Taiwan (Greater China) and companies listed on other exchanges, which have significant assets, investments, production activities, trading or other business interests in the Greater China region, or which derive a significant portion of their revenue from the Greater China region.

The Fund is managed by Value Partners Hong Kong Limited. Value Partners is a wholly owned subsidiary of Value Partners Group Limited, an investment management group listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (Stock code: 806 HK). Value Partners manages the Fund using a disciplined value-oriented approach supported by intensive, on-the-ground bottom-up fundamental research resulting in a portfolio of individual holdings, which are, in the view of Value Partners, undervalued and of high quality, on either an absolute or relative basis, and which have the potential for capital appreciation.

In addition to direct investment in companies listed in Greater China, the Fund may also invest in cash and short term money market instruments, convertible securities issued by listed companies, listed unit trusts, shares in mutual fund corporations and other collective investment schemes (including real estate investment trusts), derivatives including both exchange-traded and over-the-counter, and participatory notes.
