The Datt Absolute Return Fund is open only to wholesale or professional investors under the Corporations Act 2001. This generally includes individuals with a qualified accountant’s certificate confirming either annual income of $250,000+ for the past two years or net assets of $2.5 million or more.
The Fund invests in a concentrated portfolio of Australian-listed securities across multiple sectors and asset classes. We are market-cap and industry agnostic, focusing purely on the best risk-adjusted opportunities.
Unlike equity funds that track benchmarks, our strategy targets absolute returns and uncorrelated performance. We don’t follow index weights, we instead invest where we see genuine value and protection of capital.
Capital protection is core to our process. We assess downside risk before every investment, maintain portfolio concentration for control, and avoid overexposure to any single theme, sector, or macro bet.
The minimum investment in the Datt Absolute Return Fund is $100,000. Investors must qualify as wholesale or sophisticated investors under Australian law, or meet the Small Scale Offering exemption. The Fund is available to eligible investors in Australia and New Zealand only. All applicants must read the Fund’s Information Memorandum before investing.
