Introduction to Aurum
Aurum is a specialist investment manager that focuses on hedge fund portfolios, both commingled and bespoke. Founded in 1994 by eight principals, all of whom still work for and are invested in the firm, the company has developed a range of funds of hedge funds, each with its own individual risk / return profile. The Aurum Funds offer investors exposure to a variety of asset classes, geographic regions and investment strategies.
"...it is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change" - Clarence Darrow
This idea, more than anything else, expresses the qualities and approach to investing that Aurum offers.
