Zürcher Nachrichten - Picktan Capital's Defensive Growth Fund Achieves Record-Breaking Returns

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM / ACCESS Newswire / April 15, 2025 / Picktan Capital, an award-winning global wealth management firm based in London, has recently announced that its flagship Multi-Asset Defensive Growth Fund has delivered its strongest quarterly performance since inception, generating a remarkable 12.27% return in Q1 2025. The fund's latest performance outpaces all previous quarters since its launch in 2018 and reinforces Picktan Capital's position as a leader in resilient, globally diversified portfolio management.

Serving over 9,000 clients worldwide and managing more than $7 billion in assets, Picktan Capital has earned a reputation for high-performance, client-centric investment solutions. The Multi-Asset Defensive Growth Fund, a privately managed vehicle, has been a cornerstone offering since 2018, designed specifically to provide investors with capital appreciation and downside protection during volatile market cycles.

Since launch, the fund has maintained an impressive average annual return of 18.27%, outperforming traditional market benchmarks and comparable multi-asset strategies. Its strong start to 2025 reflects its agile positioning and the effectiveness of its diversified asset allocation model, which spans global equities, fixed income, commodities, currencies, and alternative assets.

The fund's robust Q1 returns come at a time of increasing geopolitical and macroeconomic instability. Rising political tensions between the U.S. and Europe, coupled with escalating tariffs and the renewed threat of global trade fragmentation, have led to heightened volatility in equity markets. Against this backdrop, institutional and high-net-worth investors have turned toward multi-asset strategies that can offer both protection and opportunity.

In June 2024, due to overwhelming demand and strong inflows, Picktan Capital made the strategic decision to cap the Multi-Asset Defensive Growth Fund at $1 billion in assets under management. Since then, the fund has remained closed to new investors. However, the firm has confirmed that it is now evaluating options to reopen the fund in the latter half of 2025, driven by mounting interest from European investors seeking exposure to defensive, actively managed strategies.

Commenting on the fund's performance, Mr. Richard Hart, Head of Global Trading at Picktan Capital, said:

"We are incredibly proud of the fund's performance, particularly in a quarter that presented investors with so many macro headwinds. Our multi-asset strategy is built on flexibility, data-driven decision-making, and a disciplined risk management framework. The record-breaking Q1 return is not only a reflection of our team's skill but a validation of our commitment to navigating complex markets on behalf of our clients."

While the fund remains closed for now, Picktan Capital's investment committee is expected to deliver a mid-year review in June 2025, which may include forward guidance regarding the fund's reopening and updated investment outlooks for the second half of the year.
