Ankura Capital Pty Ltd based in Sydney, Australia specializes in Australian equities. Ankura Capital has a long-term track record managing institutional funds since 1995 and its investment team has exceptional stability with the same two investment professionals at the helm today.

Ankura Capital’s quantitative investment approach combined with a qualitative risk management overlay is adaptive to the changing environment. The quantitative part of the process was originated and developed specifically for the Australian market (as opposed to a global model adaptation) and research input is derived from direct market observations that are more pragmatic than theoretical.

*Ankura Capital was previously called WestLB Mellon Asset Management (Australia) Pty Ltd when it was part of the WestLB Mellon Asset Management joint venture between WestLB AG and The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation. It became a wholly owned, independent investment boutique of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation on December 31, 2008.

Ankura Capital does not offer services in the U.S. This presentation does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to purchase, any of the firm's services or funds to any U.S. investor, or where otherwise unlawful.
