The Ambienta X Alpha Fund employs a long/short equity strategy to generate attractive risk-adjusted absolute returns by investing primarily in environmentally sustainable investments.
X Alpha combines Ambienta’s deep experience in environmental sustainability investing, in both private equity markets and as advisor of major European asset managers, with a team of top-tier professionals with a consolidated experience in managing alpha-generating absolute return strategies.
The fund is an Irish domiciled UCITS and was launched in May 2020.
The fund is Managed by Ambienta X’s CIO, Fabio Pecce, supported by a full team of Investment Professionals. The team leverages Ambienta’s Sustainability & Strategy team deep experience with the theme.
The fund focuses on European and US companies with market cap above $1 billion, which either leverage a sustainability-driven competitive advantage at attractive valuations (longs), or which are disrupted by sustainability trends (shorts).
The fund has put in place a sophisticated risk management approach. It seeks idiosynchratic (stock-specific) exposure while managing factor or style tilts, and has established a strong trading discipline and use of hedging overlays to reduce tail risks.
