About Us
Our Team
Arnott Capital is an Australian investment firm specialising in alternative investment strategies. Founded by Kenny Arnott in 1999, Arnott Capital now manages approximately A$500 million for a diverse group of clients, including family offices, high net worth individuals, private wealth groups and institutional investors.
Our flagship investment strategy, the Arnott Opportunities strategy, is led by Co-Chief Investment Officers, Kenny Arnott and Yianni Gertos. They are skilled in identifying early investment opportunities that the market hasn’t yet recognised, using a combination of long and short equity positions and derivatives to capitalise on these emerging themes.
The objective is to achieve strong returns while minimising risks by carefully selecting high quality investments across the global universe. This is achieved by closely monitoring global macro and market trends and leveraging our team’s expertise to deliver successful outcomes for our clients.
