Arnhem Investment Management, previously known as Fortis Investment Partners, has been given an undisclosed mandate for its 130/30 strategy.
"The OptiMix Australian equities team believes that companies operating within well-structured industries are more likely to deliver superior earnings growth and return on equity attributes as economic uncertainty rises over the next few years,", ING Investment Management multi-strategies group chief investment officer Emmanuel Calligeris said.
"Arnhem's unique fundamental-based, long-short strategy captures these attributes in a highly-effective way, taking a long position in companies that have a high probability of achieving the growth attributes, while shorting those companies likely to underachieve or have structurally-impaired business models."
