Pictet TR – Atlas P EUR is a specialized sub-fund under a Luxembourg-domiciled Société d'Investissement à Capital Variable (SICAV), managed by Pictet Asset Management. Since its inception in 2016, this equity long/short fund has pursued a strategy aimed at achieving long-term capital appreciation while prioritizing capital preservation. The fund employs an active investment approach, targeting global equities—including investments in emerging markets and Mainland China—across diverse sectors and currencies.
With a strong emphasis on fundamental analysis, the investment manager identifies undervalued growth stocks for long positions, while seeking to short overvalued stocks. The fund also shows flexibility in adapting its investment criteria to align with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles, and actively exercises its voting rights to influence corporate governance. Dynamic adjustments to gross and net exposures are made to navigate market conditions, with particular focus on sectors such as technology supply chains, industrials, semiconductors, logistics, and healthcare services. Moreover, the strategy identifies shorting opportunities among companies susceptible to market disruptions. Denominated in EUR with an accumulating share class, the fund caters to professional investors aiming for absolute returns, irrespective of traditional performance benchmarks.
