01
Committed to consistency and stability
Atlas is built to deliver returns that hold up across cycles, not to maximise any single year. Risk is measured centrally, limits are explicit, and capital is allocated to what has been shown to work.
Approach
Diverse strategies, one standard of evidence
Atlas pursues a range of investment strategies across industry sectors, asset classes and geographies. Each is run by specialists; all are held to the same mathematical discipline and the same centrally managed risk.
Discipline, rigor and specialization at scale
Four commitments shared by every strategy at the firm.
02
Mathematical rigor and method
Every strategy is held to the same standard of evidence: point-in-time data, out-of-sample validation, and continuous attribution. Judgment is welcome; unexamined judgment is not.
03
Specialization and expertise
Each strategy is run by people who know their market deeply, with the independence to act on that knowledge and the shared infrastructure to act on it well.
04
Deep investment in technology
Proprietary data, research, and execution systems are the firm's principal asset. They are built by the people who use them, and they compound like everything else we own.
Investment strategies
Atlas pursues a diverse range of investment strategies across industry sectors, asset classes and geographies.
Fundamental Equity
Fundamental research on listed companies, conducted both by generalists and by specialists within a sector or sub-sector.
Long-horizon ownership of businesses whose quality — returns on capital, cash conversion, balance-sheet strength — has been measured and verified. Positions are sized by rule and reviewed against written theses.
Equity Arbitrage
Systematic and fundamental arbitrage across a company's capital structure and the derivatives written on it.
Relative-value opportunities between related securities: share classes, convertibles, listed derivatives, and corporate events. Exposures are hedged so that returns depend on convergence, not direction.
Fixed Income
Rates, macro, mortgage and asset-backed strategies across sovereign and structured markets.
Relative value along and across yield curves, inflation and volatility markets, and structured credit, with exposures managed within explicit, quantified limits.
Commodities
Strategies across energy, metals, agricultural and soft commodity markets.
Fundamental and systematic approaches to physical and derivative commodity markets, informed by supply, inventory, and flow data, with strict limits on directional exposure.
Quantitative Strategies
Systematically driven investment processes across asset classes, built on statistical and mathematical methods.
Signals are researched on point-in-time data, validated out of sample, and deployed through automated execution. Every model is monitored continuously and retired when its evidence weakens.
Credit
Credit strategies across liquid and less liquid assets, from investment grade to distressed.
Corporate credit, structured products, and special situations, evaluated on cash-flow durability and recovery value, and sized to the liquidity of each instrument.
How we invest
Four disciplines shared by every strategy at the firm. Research draws on Eulerpool (opens in a new tab), the market-leading financial data platform, and on the quality framework Michael C. Jakob publishes through AlleAktien (opens in a new tab).
01
Research and data
Every strategy draws on the same proprietary infrastructure: point-in-time fundamental, pricing and alternative data, normalised across markets and stored so that historical tests see only what was knowable at the time. Signals are validated out of sample before capital follows them.
02
Capital allocation
Capital is allocated across strategies according to evidence — realised risk-adjusted returns, capacity, and correlation with the rest of the book — and re-examined continuously. Allocation is a quantitative decision, not a matter of seniority.
03
Risk management
Risk is measured centrally and independently of the teams taking it. Limits on drawdown, concentration, factor and liquidity exposure are explicit and enforced. We distinguish between the volatility of prices, which we accept, and the impairment of capital, which we work to avoid.
04
Technology
Research, risk and execution systems are built in-house by the people who use them. Automation removes discretion where discretion adds nothing, and records every decision so that it can be attributed and improved.
The approach described is general in nature and may change without notice. No representation is made that any strategy will achieve its objectives or avoid losses. This page does not constitute investment advice or an offer of any security.
