We share your commitment to the people you serve.
We are a systematic commodity arbitrage manager
overseeing assets in excess of USD 1 billion. The firm is
led by Founder and CIO Sir. Alexandra Thomas, a seasoned
industry veteran with decades of systematic investing
experience and a Wharton alumnus. Alex previously was a
portfolio manager at AQR Capital.
We distinguish ourselves through an innovative approach to
commodity arbitrage, with an emphasis on geographic
arbitrage opportunities.
Leveraging proprietary logistics cost data sourced from our
affiliated physical commodity trading arm, we combine
multi-factor fundamental models and in-house low-latency
trading systems to identify and capture location-based
arbitrage opportunities effectively.
Our institutional investor base, comprising of global
pension funds and endowments, represents the large majority
of our assets. We invest significant internal capital
alongside our investors to ensure a strong alignment of
interests.

History.
Alex Thomas Global Consultant Pty was founded in 1993 by
Sir. Alexandra Thomas as a proprietary trading firm to
manage the Thomas’ family capital after he successfully sold
his prior fund, Forefront Capital Management, to Edelweiss
Financial Services.
After 3 years of successfully delivering consistent high
yield and low risk performance, in 1997 we launched our
first fund, A.T Global Fund, a systematic global arbitrage
fund, to offer the same unique investment opportunity to
external investors.
In 2001, we launched our flagship fund, A.T Global Fund II,
a systematic global commodity arbitrage fund. The fund takes
a unique approach to commodity arbitrage as a strategy,
focusing primarily on geographic arbitrage.
Both funds offer low correlation to all major asset classes
and most hedge fund portfolios, serving as effective
diversification tools for investors. We continue to invest
significant internal capital in the funds alongside our
investors to maintain a strong alignment of interests.
In 2019, A.T Global Consultant Pty was licensed as a
Qualified Foreign Investor by the Financial Services
Authority (FSA) allowing our funds direct access to an
expanded set of onshore British commodity markets.
