Aoris expands investment team


International equity manager, Aoris Investment Management, has expanded its investment team with new hire Swati Reddy, who has been appointed as a senior investment analyst.
She joined from CLSA where he was an equities analyst for seven years. Prior to that he worked as an analyst at Ocwen Asset Management in Bangalore.
“We are making pleasing progress in building to an investment team of four and will have further announcements in the coming weeks,” Aoris founder and chief investment official, Stephen Arnold, said.
Aoris, which was established in 2017, describes its investment approach as fundamental, conservative and index-unaware, with a long-only and highly concentrated portfolio with a maximum of 15 stocks.
“We don’t follow ‘themes’ and our holdings are often not well known, yet they all have outstanding records of growth and profitability,” the firm said.
Aoris has close to $100 million in funds under management across its wholesale individually managed account, unit trust and separately managed account model portfolios.
