Led by CIO Carlos Asilis and Deputy CIO Darshan Bhatt, the firm’s flagship investment strategies include the Global Emerging Market Equities Strategy (Long only) and Global Tactical Asset Allocation Strategy (GTAA).

The firm primarily serves institutional and high-net-worth clients, including pension funds, endowments, foundations, insurance companies, family offices and private banking platforms.
