A disciplined
approach to
exceptional access
Ashbourne Capital is an independent hedge fund and specialist alternative investment advisory, focused on identifying and assessing exceptional fund managers across the alternative and long-only investment universe.
We provide high-net-worth and institutional investors with access to investment opportunities typically unavailable through traditional channels - managers operating below the institutional radar, running concentrated and conviction-led strategies where differentiated and repeatable investment processes.
Our process combines rigorous quantitative and qualitative due diligence with established, on-the-ground relationships.
The foundation of our investment selection is grounded in investment skill, process robustness, and the quality of risk management - not headline performance alone. Our approach consistently prioritises strong risk management and low-correlation strategies that deliver long-term value through risk-adjusted outcomes over the long term.
Where conviction meets careful selection
The alternative investment landscape rewards those who look beyond the consensus. Ashbourne Capital maintains a selective, research-driven universe - built around managers whose edge is repeatable, verifiable, and genuinely differentiated.
We believe that access is only valuable when it is supported by rigorous independent analysis. Our role is to bridge that gap for investors who demand more from their alternatives allocation.
Independent. Research-led. Conviction-driven.
Sub-institutional sourcing
We systematically identify managers operating below the institutional radar - where manager differentiation may be more pronounced and investor capacity is finite. This access is built on relationships, not databases.
Risk-adjusted focus
We evaluate every manager through the lens of risk-adjusted return and downside resilience. Headline performance in isolation is never sufficient - we require robust risk frameworks, clear drawdown controls, and consistent process discipline.
Single asset solutions
Single assets delivering diversified exposure across alternative strategies, sectors and geographies - structured to capture the breadth of a multi-strategy approach within a focused, conviction-led mandate.

Our

A structured, three-stage framework built for conviction - from initial sourcing through to ongoing monitoring and engagement.
Comprehensive Sourcing Network
Ashbourne Capital leverages established sourcing relationships and infrastructure to access a diverse range of differentiated managers and niche investment strategies worldwide. Initial screening employs quantitative criteria — track record, risk-adjusted ratios, and assets under management — to identify opportunities that meet our performance standards and enhance portfolio diversification.
Quantitative Due Diligence
Detailed examination of historical performance metrics including returns, volatility, drawdowns, and recovery periods. Risk-adjusted measures — Sharpe, Sortino, Calmar, Omega — are analysed alongside upside and downside capture statistics to assess the efficiency and resilience of each strategy. Further evaluation includes factor attribution, style consistency analysis, and stress testing across different market environments.
Qualitative Due Diligence
Comprehensive review of the investment team's expertise, governance structures, operational capabilities, compliance adherence, and fee arrangements. Reference checks and background screening assess key personnel integrity and reliability. Direct meetings with managers provide critical insight into investment philosophy, process discipline, and capacity constraints — while operational infrastructure and service provider assessments confirm institutional-level standards of control and oversight.
Supported by established relationships
Ashbourne Capital operates in partnership with AlphaWealth and Alpha Private Capital, drawing on their combined experience, sourcing infrastructure, and global relationships to support the depth and quality of our investment advisory process.
