Approach to Fund Selection
The APEP investment team is constantly on the lookout for investment opportunities that meet criteria that have been agreed in advance and that are also periodically reviewed together with APEP’s clients. To ensure that we work with the best potential managers, we seek out managers both new and established. This “market mapping” exercise allows us to rank individual managers against their peers and offers valuable insights into fund performance. We maintain comprehensive databases that allow us to track a manager’s performance through multiple funds.
