Paris – April 7th , 2026

iMGP today introduces the iMGP Sirios Absolute Return Fund, bringing Sirios Capital Management’s low-net equity long/short strategy to international investors for the first time.

The Fund is managed using an absolute return strategy designed to generate positive returns independently of overall market direction. Such strategies aim to generate consistent returns. While not specific to the Fund, iM Global Partner generally considers that absolute return strategies seek to achieve annualized returns of the overnight rate +5% to 10% over a full market cycle. There can be no assurance that these objectives will be met.

The iMGP Sirios Absolute Return Fund is sub-managed by its Partner Sirios Capital Management, L.P. an independent equity long/short specialist founded in 1999. The objective of the Fund is to provide its investors with long-term capital appreciation by implementing a strategy that takes long and short exposure to companies worldwide

Portfolio management is carried out by a team of six sector-specialist analysts averaging 21 years of industry experience. The investment team follows a fundamental intrinsic value approach driven by bottom-up analysis of growth in earnings and cash flow on long positions, and deteriorating fundamentals on short positions.

Key points:

• Sector diversification: Six equal-weighted sector sleeves (Consumer, Financials/Real Estate, Healthcare, Industrials, Technology/Communications, Technology/Telecom)
• Low net exposure: Target net exposure below 30%
• Analyst managed: Investment decisions driven by conviction levels and current valuation

The US equity market has had a strong run over the past five years, generating annualised returns of around 15% per annum. Valuations are currently elevated, particularly in the US, and equity markets are highly concentrated. Bond markets, meanwhile, are not always the lower-risk option given they are often positively correlated with equities. The iMGP Sirios Absolute Return Fund aims to address these challenges with a daily liquid UCITS structure offering equity upside potential with controlled market exposure.

Fund highlights:

• US equity long/short low net strategy.
• Simple, transparent fee structure.
• Experienced and accessible team of analysts.
• Firm track record of more than 25 years.
• Daily liquidity in a Luxemburg-domiciled UCITS format.
• Available through UCITS Fund and ETF share classes

Luc Dumontier, CIO Global Asset Management, iM Global Partner said: “We are excited to be launching this fund with our Partner, Sirios Capital Management. An absolute return fund is a natural addition to our fund range that leverages the expertise within our network of Partners and provides our clients with a valuable diversification option during a time when equity markets are punctuated by higher valuations, industry disruption, geopolitical risks and potential volatility. Over the past year we have continued to build momentum across our asset management network, particularly in the alternative investments space, and this fund further strengthens our investment capabilities.

Julien Froger, Managing Director, Head of Europe, said: “By bringing this strategy to market in a UCITS structure, we’re providing international investors with a new option in the liquid alternatives space at a time when there are fewer players in the market than in the past. Sirios is a well-established equity long/short manager with a long-term track record that makes them an excellent manager for a fund designed to solve the challenges that investors are facing today. We look forward to working with clients to help them navigate all market conditions in this new low-net equity long/short strategy.”

John F. Brennan, Jr., Managing Director of Sirios Capital Management, L.P., the Sub-Manager of the Fund, said: “We are thrilled to be launching our new Sirios Absolute Return strategy in a UCITS structure with our partner, iM Global Partner. After many years in the fundamental equity long/short space the timing is right for an absolute return strategy.  With equity valuations stretched and the market bifurcated, a low-net fundamental-driven product will benefit from strong stock-picking dynamics.  We are also excited to have the fund managed by our long-standing Research Team.  The team-based approach will allow us to offer the flexibility of a multi-sector, diversified Long/Short equity fund with the focus of an individual sector fund.”

The investment concerns the acquisition of units or shares in a fund and not in a given underlying asset. Investing puts your capital at risk: investing in equity securities may offer a higher rate of return than other investments. However, the risks associated with investments in equity securities may also be higher because the performance of equity securities depends upon factors that are difficult to predict. Historically, equity securities have provided greater long-term returns and have entailed greater short-term risks than other investment choices. More information on www.imgp.com
