Wessex Asset Management (WAM) is the dedicated investment management firm of 4 equity long/short hedge funds with a focus in the Asia Pacific Region. WAM is built on the expertise of its two principals, Peter Chesterfield and Tim Weir, with a combined 40+ years of investment management experience and 25+ years focused on Asia Pacific Equities. WAM believes that to make money consistently in the Asia Pacific Region, the timing of market allocation decisions is crucial, and that stock selection has to add value both in its own right and as an input into the market allocation process. The dynamic reconciliation of top-down and bottom-up methodology is at the core of WAM's process.
Peter and Tim founded WAM in October of 1999 and launched the flagship fund the Wessex Asia Pacific Fund in December 2000. The mission was to demonstrate, not only that they could run an investment management operation better than the people they’d been criticizing for many years, but also that it was possible to make money every year even in as volatile an asset class as Asia Pacific equities. To date, this has been achieved. In May 2004 WAM launched its second fund, the Wessex Natural Resources Fund. This fund builds on the principals’ other key strength, in the resources space; Peter Chesterfield is a geologist and mining analyst by background, and Tim Weir, albeit from a very different background (a self-confessed economist) launched his first resource fund in the early 1980s and managed one of the world’s biggest gold equity funds, at Swiss Bank Corporation. WAM has since launched the Wessex Global Water Fund (January 2007) - the fund strategy is Global Equity L/S similar in investment style to WNRF, focused on the equities of water related companies. WGWF, although global, has significant exposures to Asia. In October of 2007 Wessex Gold Fund was launched. The WGF investment strategy is global long /short focused on gold and precious metals related equities, it launched with more than USD50mm of committed capital.
