Darling Macro Fund rated 'Superior' by SQM Research

The Darling Macro Fund has been awarded an inaugural rating of “Superior 4 stars” and its top investment grading of “High Investment Grade” by SQM Research.


The Darling Macro Fund is an absolute return multi asset fund. The Fund’s objective is a positive risk adjusted return which is superior to the performance of static blends of equities and bonds.


SQM outlined 6 key strengths of the fund in its report:

  1. A seasoned investment team with many years of experience over numerous market cycles.

  2. Performance in a challenging market (Covid-19) has held up well.

  3. Over relatively short history has strongly out-performed its peer group.

  4. A well-articulated investment process with strong focus on managing risk.

  5. The Fund is competitively priced (both Class A and B), relative to peers.

  6. Strong alignment of management and unit-holders interests in the performance of the Fund.

Mark Beardow, Co-CIO of Darling Macro, welcomed the rating and was pleased that SQM concluded that “the Fund may be used as a complement to an investor’s strategic holdings of equity and bonds as lowly correlated to both.”
