Strategy & Manager
Fund Strategy
The Strategy seeks to generate absolute returns by targeting growth stocks with a competitive advantage on the long side and structurally declining companies on the short side. Alongside these investments, the team also takes positions in companies with cyclical, mean-reverting characteristics. Stocks included in the portfolio are the result of a bottom-up selection process, hence the variable net exposure of the Fund has historically been between -20% and 95%.

Trading Advisor's Commentary
as of 30/06/2026Market Review and Outlook
June concluded a strong quarter for global equities. Markets rebounded from the initial impact of the Iran war, resulting in a pronounced momentum rally. Against this backdrop, Parus generated strong positive long alpha for the quarter. This performance was primarily driven by positions across the Semiconductor universe and further supported by names in sectors such as Healthcare and Energy.
Global equities declined -0.8% in June. Weakness was concentrated in US equities, while other regions delivered mixed results. Our long book exhibited wide dispersion during the month. Positive contributions from our Memory, Semiconductor Capital Equipment, Transport, and Financials positions were offset by detractors within Hyperscalers, Software, and Chinese equities. On the short side, Real Estate positions detracted from performance.
Fund
The performance of the InRIS Parus Fund USD Class was -4.3% in June. The Fund was at +8.8% YTD and +16.7% for 1 year.
