Alpha adds Bennelong domestic equities strategy to platform
Bennelong Funds Management Australian Equities fund has been added to Alpha Fund Manager’s multi-manager platform.
Alpha portfolio manager Matthew Zschech said Bennelong’s domestic equities fund had a unique strategy and its bottom-up fundamental analysis and strong quantitative tools in the market led to it being included on the platform.
Bennelong chief executive Jarrod Brown said the inclusion of the fund was a positive endorsement of the joint venture, Bennelong Australian Equities Partners (BAEP), which manages the fund.
BAEP was established in July 2008 by Bennelong and Australian equities professionals Paul Cuddy and Mark East.
