Origo QUEST

Origo Fonder

Strategy Description

Origo QUEST is a long/short equity hedge fund focusing on listed small and mid-caps in the Nordics. The long-term objective is to deliver competitive absolute return with a significant lower risk in terms of correlation and volatility than the Nordic stock market. The portfolio is relatively concentrated, usually around 15–25 positions in the long-book, and a short-book constructed from both alpha-shorts, pair-trades, and market hedges. Origo QUEST’s investment approach is based on an active, long-term, fundamental strategy to identify value-creating opportunities in small and medium-sized companies. The fund has a long bias (net exposure) over time.
