Press Release
Foresight Analytics has completed a ratings assessment of the Arrow Australian Emerging Opportunities Fund. The Fund has been assigned a STRONG rating and a Foresight Product Complexity Indicator of RELATIVELY SIMPLE. The Arrow Australian Emerging Opportunities Fund is an Unregistered Wholesale Unit Trust managed by Arrow Asset Management, a boutique, fundamental, long-only fund manager focusing on Australian microcap equities.
The investment rating of STRONG is the third highest rating on the scale used by Foresight Analytics and reflects a strong level of confidence that the Fund can deliver a risk-adjusted return in line with its investment objectives. A Foresight Complexity Indicator of RELATIVELY SIMPLE has been assigned, indicating that the Fund invests predominantly in listed assets and has an absolute return objective.
The Fund’s investment strategy is style-agnostic and aims to invest in opportunities across three investment styles: value, growth and quality. The Fund is biased towards quality and micro caps. It seeks to avoid poor companies within the microcap universe as lower levels of liquidity or infrequent trading often results in large and sudden price movements following company news or events.
As an early-stage Fund of Arrow Asset Management, the team have started the strategy as a “minimum viable product” and aim to bootstrap their way to best practice over time. The Fund is likely to outperform its absolute return benchmark over a full investment cycle.
Foresight Analytics’ analyst, Dan Grioli, says “The Fund uses a well-considered investment strategy based on deep knowledge and experience of what works/doesn’t work in the microcap investment universe.” He added, “It is implemented in a disciplined manner by a team of highly-experienced investors with an enviable long-term track record of success.”
