Sean Fenton launches new boutique equities firm
Sean Fenton is launching new boutique equities firm Sage Capital in partnership with Channel Capital.
The fund would seek to generate alpha over the long-term by combining fundamental and quantitative analysis.
Sage Capital’s two initial funds were open for investment, the CC Sage Capital Equity Plus Fund, an Australian equities long/short strategy; and the CC Sage Capital Absolute Return Fund, an absolute return strategy.
Channel Capital would be providing the full suite of investment services, including distribution and responsible entity services through its incubation platform.
The boutique was wholly owned by its directors and staff who had all worked with Fenton throughout his career: Kelli Meagher, Peter Moore and James Delaney.
Fenton said their differentiated stock selection process utilised two complementary sources of return, employing both a quantitative and fundamental process.
“The objective of this process is to identify companies that will deliver superior earnings outcomes on an attractive risk/reward basis,” Fenton said.
“Diversification is a key attribute of the portfolio construction process and a suite of sophisticated risk management tools are employed to ensure that the impact of unexpected risks is minimised.”
