The investment objective of Augury Hedge Fund is to achieve long term capital growth by investing in non-correlated asset classes where the investment strategy team can identify short to medium term investment opportunities with a focus on risk mitigation and liquidity management.

The strategy team may rely on forecasts and analysis about interest rates trends, pricing weaknesses in certain asset classes, macroeconomic developments, global imbalances and business cycles around the world and to identify inherent market weakness with potential to strengthen given time and other broad systemic factors that may lead to arbitrage and alpha opportunities.

A key area of investment for the Arbitrage Classes will be to focus on strategic short term opportunities in the insurance marketplace including (but not limited to) the purchase and resale of life settlement policies and insurance portfolios, short term asset backed financing arrangements and fee based services to institutions.

The fund may also invest directly in companies that the manager feels may complement the overall investment strategy.

Where the investment strategy team see value in certain markets they have the ability to use gearing to over invest wherever possible yet aim to preserve liquidity enabling relatively quick changes to the weighting of the portfolio and to take advantage of short term market trends.
