Unlike typical independent asset managers (IAM) that heavily rely on retrocessions, Paragon Capital Management has found success with its discretionary-based business, a model that may not be suitable for every private banker. That strategy is also helping it to deliver strong returns for clients. The firm’s flagship Paragon Alpha I fund gained 45.62% for 2023, beating top-performing asset classes.
In a year marked by challenges and volatility, PAF I has not only navigated but excelled. The fund recorded an annualised return of 11.17%, placing it 17th out of 306 funds in its category according to Eurekahedge.
As 2024 unfolds, we are excited to share our market outlook, building on a phenomenal 2023 where we saw a 35% increase in Assets Under Management (AUM).
In our view, the major reset in U.S. monetary policy over the past two years has created a more conducive backdrop for global equities. While short term volatility remains a constant, even for quality stocks, we see these fluctuations not challenges but as opportunities to create value for our investors over the longer term.
