EIRIS News release 

18 May, 2005 

Ethical Investment Research Services (EIRIS) are pleased to have been chosen by Strategus to provide social, environmental and other ethical (SEE) research for a pioneering new SRI hedge fund which is to be launched by Armajaro Asset Management LLP later this summer.  

Strategus will take EIRIS’ SEE research into consideration for use in their advisory role to the new SRI hedge fund.  Strategus will access EIRIS research through its unique software package Ethical Portfolio Manager (EPM) which allows institutional investors to develop and implement socially responsible investment policies whether based on an engagement, screening or preference / best-in-class approach. 

Strategus are working with Armajaro Asset Management LLP to launch a pan European market neutral long/short equity fund: the Coolum Strategus SRI Fund. 

Prof. Roel Bellens of Strategus said: “We are pleased we can draw on EIRIS’ proven and comprehensive SEE research to advise on this innovative market neutral long / short implementation of socially responsible investment policies.” 

Peter Webster of EIRIS said, “It is exciting to see finally the launch of an ethical hedge fund.  We wish Strategus and Armajaro every success with their new product and are delighted to be providing them with the research they need on corporate social, environmental and ethical behaviour.”
