ActusRayPartners (“ARP”) is a dynamic and high-growth asset management company focused on delivering strong absolute and risk-adjusted performance. Founded in 2019 by former Macquarie Group investment professionals, ARP commenced operations in 2021 and today comprises a team of approximately 40 employees. Headquartered in Hong Kong with an additional presence in Sydney, Australia, ARP’s positioning is enhanced by a strategic collaboration with Sun Hung Kai & Co. Limited (86.HK), a Hong Kong-listed financial services company. ARP is licensed by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong to conduct Type 4 and Type 9 regulated activities, and is a Registered Investment Advisor with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

ARP works with a global institutional investor base spanning leading financial institutions (including white-labelled funds and a planned co-labelled fund), foundations, pensions, fund of funds, and family offices.

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.
