ARP’s proprietary investment process, Discretionary Probabilistic Investing, focuses on longer-term stock selection alpha by integrating quantitative data models with a highly differentiated discretionary overlay that is applied across a large number of positions. ARP currently deploys its process across Asian and European equity markets focusing on absolute returns, and may expand into the Americas in the future. ARP has also developed long-only versions of its work, including a planned China A-shares vehicle.
Combining institutional rigor and resources while maintaining an entrepreneurial culture, ARP provides team members with the opportunity to collaborate closely with experienced industry leaders, contribute directly to a rapidly growing business, and support the firm’s mission of delivering an elite level of investment performance and client service.
