What if...

What if you could invest in tomorrow's economy and its thriving enterprises?
What if you could build tomorrow's technology to help you do this?

That is what we asked ourselves when we started argan.ai. We invest in a small group of exceptional innovative companies that shape future industries, less than 2% of the global market.

Our starting point is the future macroeconomic landscape followed by in-depth company intelligence.

We can maneuver macroeconomic uncertainty by adjusting portfolio company weights, and add uncorrelated positions (gold and JPY/USD) to thrive in the future economy.

Our commitment to tomorrow’s technology is the foundation of argan.ai. To this end, we have built NINA, a combination of classical quant systems and human-inspired AI analysts. Built on experience of over almost a decade and managing billions of Euros.

Our investor base is made up of pioneers with a long-term horizon. Those who believe in our vision of a Dutch-based investment company taking on the future of investment management.

The Brand Capital Fund (BCF) invests in high-quality global companies with strong, enduring brand capital and sustainable success in compounding shareholder wealth through most market regimes. Our strategy aims to maximise total return in the long term with substantially lower drawdowns than developed global equity markets. We create and manage a long-only portfolio using an approach that is fundamental yet systematic, and employ a quantitative, multi-factor process to construct and manage a risk-minimised portfolio to deliver more stable returns.

The Fund aims to avoid controversial investments by applying Responsible Investment criteria. We employ the company exclusions list as published by the Norwegian Government Pension Fund – the leading, €1.5trn sovereign wealth fund, and signatory of the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investing (UN-PRI).

Our strategy has been offered via separately managed accounts since December 2015, and via our Fund since March 2018.

The M3SC Fund is an independent boutique investment fund focused on investing in sectors that capitalize on the megatrends expected to shape the economy over the next decade: ageing populations, climate change and energy security, geopolitical shifts, and digitalization. We aim to achieve outperformance by selecting the highest-quality companies in volatile sectors. Positions are only taken when there is sufficient evidence of proven patterns indicating a clear path to success, further confirmed by money flows at both the sector and company level. We seek changes in long-term patterns, business models that benefit from sector upside with reduced risk, and/or potential acquisition targets.
