The firm manages customized hedge fund investment portfolios for large institutional investors, in addition to a range of commingled investment vehicles including registered products. Arden's core investment process is characterized by selecting managers that offer compelling investment opportunities in the short and medium term through bottom-up research combined with top-down market assessment. Arden seeks to provide their clients consistent returns with low volatility and low correlation to traditional equity and fixed-income indices. They focus primarily on managers and strategies where their fundamental research can identify the sources and repeatability of their risk-adjusted return profiles and processes. In addition, Arden focuses on managers with flexible trading capabilities who can navigate through technically-driven markets while executing on fundamental views, and who can capitalize on the more volatile market conditions. Overall, the firm seeks to build portfolios that are diversified, have low risk and are stable under stressed conditions. Through this philosophy, they invest with portfolio managers employing a variety of strategies, including relative value, event-driven, global macro, equity long/short, tail hedge, and other strategies. Clients’ investments with money managers are generally made through entities that are organized as corporations, limited partnerships or other limited liability vehicles.
