Platypus Asset Management
A true-to-label growth manager, specialising in Australian equities
Investing in Australian Equities
As a specialist Australian equities growth manager, Platypus Asset Management believe that the risk-return offered by the Australian equity market can be improved by utilising active management. Platypus offer the following strategies to invest in companies listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX):
The Platypus Australian Equities Fund is a high conviction, concentrated growth portfolio that is index-agnostic. The Fund invests in companies that grow earnings in a sustainable way, have a history of consistent earnings growth and a clearly defined future growth path.
The Platypus Systematic Growth Fund is a low cost fund that uses a systematic approach based on academic research and market intuition to tilt towards stocks with high quality momentum. The result is a dynamically managed diversified portfolio of stocks that creates better risk-adjusted returns than the market as a whole and aided by low fees, this offers much better value for the investor.
Our focus is to generate superior returns for investors.
