Verdi Agro Fund is the first fund on the Czech market to offer qualified investors the opportunity to invest in farms and primary agricultural production. The uniqueness of the fund lies in the fact that it invests not only in agricultural land, but mainly in farms in the Czech Republic with the aim of modernising and developing them.
Currently, the Fund has investments in three farms that together manage over 4,700 hectares of land. These farms specialise in both crop and livestock production, as well as the production of electricity through biogas plants. We strive to achieve balanced economic growth, taking into account a sustainable approach to the landscape, while at the same time preserving the traditions of Czech agriculture.
The Verdi Apex Fund offers a unique approach to the prestigious world of global hedge funds. Recent years of crisis have shown that passive portfolio strategies can be too vulnerable.
Conversely, increased volatility benefits actively managed hedge funds that use advanced trading strategies to respond to uncertainty in the capital markets. The Verdi Apex Fund's strategy is carefully crafted to capitalize on the high performance of certain types of hedge funds, while dampening their volatility by investing in credit funds.
Due to the size of the fund, investor risk is spread across a wide range of underlying funds. The selected funds have minimal correlation to each other and, in particular, virtually zero to negative correlation to equity markets. This feature is particularly valuable for investors at times such as the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 or interest rate hikes in 2022, when they are exposed to equity market risks.
