Invest Beyond Borders
Global equity fund
Arctic Global Select is an actively managed global equity fund designed to deliver long-term outperformance beyond index funds. By leveraging a combination of broad market exposure and specialist managers, the fund provides a well-diversified portfolio with attractive return potential.
With a structured and research-driven investment process, Arctic Global Select seeks to capitalise on market inefficiencies by blending high-conviction stock selection with a fundamentally driven allocation strategy. The fund is managed by Tone Varmann, a seasoned investment professional with a proven track record of delivering strong equity returns across multiple market cycles.
Arctic Global Select provides investors with an opportunity to gain exposure to a broad and deep equity portfolio beyond the constraints of market-cap-weighted indices. By combining sector, thematic, and geographical insights, the fund is positioned to benefit from long-term structural shifts in global markets, while mitigating risks through thoughtful diversification.
Investment philosophy
Arctic Global Select is built on a fundamentally driven investment philosophy, where every investment decision is based on thorough research and valuation drivers through market cycles. The fund is structured around 10-12 independent equity teams, bringing together more than 20 portfolio managers and over 50 analysts. By carefully selecting a mix of specialist managers, the fund harnesses multiple independent return streams, reducing the risk of "group think" while enhancing its potential to generate alpha.
At the manager level, stock selection is highly concentrated, allowing for focused positions in the most compelling investment opportunities. At the portfolio level, diversification ensures an optimised risk-return balance, with a carefully calibrated mix of industries, geographies, and investment style with more than 500 unique positions, no single stock can dominate returns.
By avoiding the structural biases of passive investing, Arctic Global Select aims to provide investors with exposure to a global portfolio that extends beyond the limitations of traditional index funds. The strategy is designed to capture differentiated return streams across global equity markets, offering a compelling alternative for investors seeking excess returns with a disciplined approach to risk management.
