MontLake UCITS Platform ICAV - Virtuoso UCITS Fund Retail Pooled CHF (0P0001JKDA)

Overview

The fund is an investment vehicle that focuses on exploiting market opportunities by taking both long and short positions in equity securities primarily traded in the United States. It operates with a strategy to remain mostly invested in long positions—over 80% under normal market conditions—while the allocation to short positions varies depending on the perceived market opportunities. This flexibility allows the fund to adapt to market conditions and seek profit from both rising and falling stock prices. Its investment approach does not limit it to any specific type of equity securities or market capitalizations, indicating a broad investment mandate that can encompass a wide range of companies, including those with less than three years of operations ("unseasoned issuers") and initial public offerings of securities ("IPO").

Products and Services

• Long Equity Positions: The fund primarily invests in long positions in equity securities, maintaining a portfolio composition greater than 80% under normal market conditions. This approach is based on the selection of stocks that the Sub-Adviser believes will increase in value over time, targeting capital appreciation as the main goal. Investments span across all market caps, providing a diversified exposure to various sectors and industries within the U.S. markets.

• Short Equity Positions: To capitalize on market opportunities and hedge against market volatility, the fund also engages in short selling. The size of the short portfolio fluctuates based on the Sub-Adviser’s assessment of current market conditions and opportunities. This strategy allows the fund to benefit from stock prices' potential decline, adding a layer of risk management and opportunity for inverse market gains.

• Investments in Unseasoned Issuers and IPOs: The fund’s investment strategy includes allocating a portion of its portfolio to equity securities of unseasoned issuers, companies that have been operating for less than three years, and initial public offerings of securities. This approach indicates a willingness to take on higher risk for the potential of higher returns, diversifying its investment portfolio into emerging companies and new market entrants, potentially capturing significant growth as these companies mature.
