ASK Absolute Return Fund

The ASK Absolute Return Fund is a dynamic long-short Category III AIF engineered to deliver positive absolute returns over a 12+ month horizon with significantly lower volatility and fewer drawdowns than broader equity markets. Prioritizing capital preservation across all market conditions, the fund actively takes long and short positions in stocks and indices using a blend of fundamental, quantitative, and derivative analysis. Ultimately, it aims to protect downside risk while generating a consistent alpha of 100–150 basis points (net of fees and taxes) over liquid fixed-income alternatives.
