Who We Are

Aeon Investment Management is a boutique investment management company operating from Cape Town, South Africa. The experienced investment team have the capability to manage a range of equity and absolute return portfolios.

As a company, we are dedicated to a level of service and excellence in investment management that cultivates trusted client relationships and enables us to assist investors with all aspects of their investment needs. We aim to exceed client expectations based on applying our ideals to:

  1. Understand client objectives
  2. Set realistic performance targets and strive to exceed them
  3. Find new opportunities in a dynamic market
  4. Create long term wealth by generating consistent alpha

Our Investment Philosophy

At Aeon Investment Management, our investment philosophy is based on the conviction that significant inefficiencies can occur in the market, at different times across a range of asset classes and strategies. A structured investment process which is able to monitor and value a wide range of opportunities is best able to capitalise on these inefficiencies.

We focus on the rigorous process of asset valuation and return modelling, using both fundamental and quantitative analysis. Since it is not possible to perfectly predict future market movements, our process guides us in constructing portfolios that can deliver outperformance of the benchmark in a range of scenarios, over a market cycle.

The investment process is structured to analyse and monitor the risk return characteristics of a wide range of asset classes and investment strategies. Diversifying the sources of alpha gives us the ability to construct portfolios with superior risk return characteristics relative to their benchmarks, providing a consistent level of outperformance with below average risk.
