Absolute return strategies focused on capital preservation and risk-adjusted compounding.
Profusion Investment Advisors LLP is a Portfolio Manager with several decades of collective investment management and advisory experience. The team specialises in long-short market neutral strategies and special situations strategies that aim to deliver consistent returns across market cycles with controlled drawdowns. The firm focuses strongly on capital preservation and risk-adjusted returns, targeting steady compounding of investor capital while maintaining low volatility.
The Profusion Absolute Return PMS aims to generate returns from three primary income streams. First, fixed income returns through allocation to liquid funds, overnight funds, and fixed deposits, typically comprising 70–80% of client assets to provide steady income. Second, a low-risk long-short market-neutral strategy where net exposure generally does not exceed 20% and historically averages in single digits, focusing on disciplined risk control and low drawdowns. Third, special situations investments including merger arbitrage, buybacks, spin-offs, FPOs, block deals, and other event-driven opportunities. Risk management is central to the strategy. The firm actively manages exposure, reduces gross and net exposure during high volatility periods, and may temporarily exit markets when conditions are unfavourable. The objective is steady compounding with low single-digit drawdowns and positive rolling 12-month returns across varying market environments.
