Infusive Wins UCITS Hedge Awards 2021 for the second year running, Showing Exceptional Growth During the Pandemic
LONDON, March 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Infusive Asset Management – investing in brands that people know, love and repeatedly buy into – manages the Consumer AlphaTM Global Leaders Fund (the "UCITS Fund") which was named Best Performing Fund in 2020 for the Equity Long/Short Consumer category at the UCITS Hedge Awards 2021, marking the UCITS Fund's second consecutive win in this category.
The annual awards, awarded in London by The Hedge Fund Journal, celebrates the industry's top performing managers each year in March. Since winning the same award last year, Infusive achieved significant milestones, including:
- Reaching $650 Million AUM as a firm, up from $100m in early 2020
- Reporting a +2.8% YTD performance return in the UCITS Fund as of end of February 2021
- Having the UCITS Fund surpass +100% cumulative return since launching in 2016
"When accepting this award in March 2020, it was difficult to imagine the obstacles we'd face during the unprecedented shift in consumer behavior and market performance influenced by the Pandemic but I was pleased to see that my confidence in the firm's investment strategy was affirmed by another strong investment result (+43% for the UCITS Fund in 2020) and reaching key development milestones for the business" said Andrea Ruggeri, Chief Executive Officer at Infusive. "As I accept this year's award on behalf of my dedicated staff of industry experts, I have every confidence in the firm's investment strategy as shown by recent growth figures".
Infusive's UCITS fund is focused on the same investment strategy as the firm's ETF (NYSE: JOYY), both of which consist of investments in top-tier companies that generate revenue from goods and services that appeal to consumer desires and impulses. (Note: Due to its passive nature as well as differing costs and expenses, the performance of the JOYY ETF will likely be different than that of the UCITS product).
The firm coined the term Consumer Alpha for their investment strategy which focuses on consumer tendencies to seek out happiness through purchases that enhance innate inclinations. To capitalize on market performance, Infusive researches and invests in companies that offer desired levels of entertainment, convenience, health benefits, indulgence, and cosmetics - all of which yield joy and happiness for consumers.
