Marble Rock Asset Management was founded by the experienced fixed income and commodities hedge fund manager Flip du Plessis whose team of multi-strategy portfolio managers pursue uncorrelated returns within a wide universe of markets from their own unique location. Marble Rock’s physical foundations extend toward the marble and granite dome of“Paarl Rock” or Pearl Mountain which towers over the wi
nelands town of Paarl, situated in South Africa’s Western Cape Province. Its offices are rooted within the iconic KWV building, a familiar landmark on Main Street, which complements the poise of the team. At Marble Rock’s core it seeks capital appreciation for its investors through the skillful management of a variety of non-traditional or “alternative” investment strategies and investment instruments spanning across multiple asset classes, packaged within a unique range of investment funds on offer. The team is committed to the patient implementation of deep-value and high conviction trade ideas with a long investment horizon. The firm’s general investment philosophy is influenced by a broad macro investment style across its strategies in fixed income securities, commodities, currencies, as well as listed and unlisted equities and other private investment opportunities. Conversely the firm also embraces opportunities to enhance alpha returns through leveraged money market instruments. The underlying investment approach of Marble Rock however remains the construction of fund portfolios with a “top-down” approach across multiple asset classes with a global reach, in order to create a larger opportunity set for diversified and uncorrelated returns with low capacity constraints across the funds themselves.
