Speaker Biographies

• Christian Putz, Founder, CEO and Portfolio Manager at ARR Investment Partners

How can hedgefunds help navigate volatile market environments and bear markets.

Why are long/short equity hedgefunds attractive in the current high interest rate environment?

Christian founded ARR Investment Partners and has been managing the ARR Global L/S Equity strategy since 2015. He established ARR with two primary objectives: first, to generate attractive net returns over the long term, and second, to achieve positive returns during market downturns. Prior to this, he worked at an American-owned investment boutique in Moscow, where he managed the Long/Short Equity Master Fund, specializing in Eastern European markets. Christian began his institutional investment management career in 2006 at MAN Group, an alternative investment firm with assets under management exceeding $100 billion, working across multiple asset classes including credit, venture capital, and funds of hedge funds (FoHFs).

About ARR Investment Partners

ARR Investment Partners is a London-based investment boutique advising a global long/short equity strategy for professional investors. Our goal is to generate attractive returns over the long run by outperforming during market downturns whilst maintaining strong performance during market rallies. To achieve both aims, we invest in opportunities, both on the long and short side, that we perceive to have an 'asymmetric risk-reward'. 

ARR Investment Partners was shortlisted at the With Intelligence HFM EU Performance Awards in 2022 and 2023. We were shortlisted in the ""Global Equity Under $500m"" category for both years and also received a nomination in the ""Global Equity Long-Term Performance (5 years)"" category in 2023.
