Datt Capital Celebrates Excellence in Alternative Investments

Datt Capital was honoured to be named a finalist in the Best Multi-Strategy Fund category at the Hedge Funds Rock & Australian Alternative Investment Awards 2025. This recognition reflects the strength of disciplined investment management in navigating today’s complex and fast-changing markets.

About the Hedge Funds Rock Awards

The Hedge Funds Rock + Australian Alternative Investment Awards have been held annually since 2005 to recognise and honour Australia’s top-performing fund managers. Finalists are selected by a panel of judges based on both quantitative performance data and qualitative assessments, ensuring a fair and balanced evaluation of each fund’s strategy.

Within this framework, the Best Multi-Strategy Fund category acknowledges managers who can demonstrate resilience, adaptability and consistency across market cycles, qualities that are increasingly valued by investors.

Emanuel Datt at the Ceremony

As part of this recognition, our Chief Investment Officer, Emanuel Datt, attended the awards ceremony alongside many of the industry’s leading figures. His presence at the event highlighted Datt Capital’s continued commitment to independence, transparency, and research-driven investing.

This moment was also an opportunity to showcase the investment strategy that earned us the finalist position.

The Datt Capital Absolute Return Fund

The nomination centred on the Datt Capital Absolute Return Fund, our flagship strategy. The Fund is designed for investors seeking both capital preservation and sustainable growth, offering a multi-strategy approach with low correlation to traditional asset classes.

At the core of the strategy is our mosaic research process, which draws insights from regulatory developments, global industry networks, and primary research. This allows us to identify opportunities often overlooked by the broader market. Importantly, at Datt Capital, we commit our own capital to every position we hold, ensuring strong alignment of interests with our investors with a disciplined decision-making.
