Aurora awarded $30m mandate from Media Super
Aurora Funds Limited (Aurora) has announced that it has been awarded a $30 million mandate from Media Super into the Aurora Fortitude Absolute Return Strategy (AFARS).
Head of Aurora John Corr said the strategy had attracted interest from a number of other institutions.
"We believe our strategy offers investors an opportunity to take advantage of what could be a prolonged period of high volatility," said Corr.
AFARS focuses on extracting alpha from the Australian equity market through a range of processes, including merger arbitrage, convergence trades, and option strategies, Aurora said in its announcement.
"We believe the alpha generation is sustainable over time and is the right investment for these periods of heightened volatility," said Media Super CIO, Dr Jon Glass.
"The fund manager has demonstrated their ability to produce steady returns in volatile markets over a long time."

Equity markets have surged ahead of fundamentals as institutional investors fall behind, according to Ten Cap Alpha Plus.
Local investors are leading the region in plans to boost private market exposure, as demand grows for innovative fund structures, resilient investments, and a more selective approach to alternatives.
Research shows institutional investors are increasingly turning to private credit, but the APAC region’s relatively small market size remains a key constraint.
The global financial platform has completed a Series F funding round, with superannuation funds participating in the round.
