Investment Management
Arculus Funds Management is an Australian asset manager of both public and private mandates.
We manage two retail public unit funds for DDH Graham Limited:
- The Arculus Preferred Income Fund, formerly the DDH Preferred Income Fund.
- The Arculus Fixed Income Fund, formerly the GCI Australian Capital Stable Fund.
Central to our belief in risk minimisation is the principle that the role of Investment Manager be separate from the other key roles:
- Responsible Entity – DDH Graham Limited.
- Administrator – DDH Graham Limited.
- Custody – Northern Trust.
In addition to these public unit funds the Arculus Funds Management team under the GCI Australia AFSL have a number of private mandates that have a similar investment universe and are managed with a focus on firstly capital preservation and secondly income generation.
Our risk management process has many levels that include:
- Investment risks.
- Regulatory risks.
- ESG risks.
- Conflicts of interest.
Risk management is central to our focus on capital preservation.
Arculus was created in 2013 under the branding of GCI Australia, the firm is being rebranded in Q3 2022. It is a leading Investment Manager of Australian Fixed Income Mandates.
- Capital preservation is our first priority.
- No performance fees as they conflict with risk minimisation.
- Partner with advisers for the long term – proactive relationship
- Strong belief in the 4 eyes principle that the roles of Custodian, Administrator and Trustee should be independent of the Investment Manager to ensure fund integrity.
We manage a number of private mandates for entities ranging from High-Net-Worth individuals, Family Offices, Wealth advisory Groups to APRA regulated Life Insurers.
Two portfolios are publicly available, the Arculus Preferred Income fund and the Arculus Fixed Income Fund.
