Pacific Paradigm Advisors LLC

Pacific Paradigm Advisors LLC primarily provides investment management to a single pooled vehicle, the Asia Opportunities Fund (AOF), and offers consulting services to third parties, including other investment advisers (Affiliate Partners). The firm does not provide portfolio management for individual clients or maintain a base of retail or high-net-worth individual investors.

The firm’s investment approach centers on Asia ex-Japan equity markets, using bottom-up stock selection supported by fundamental and quantitative analysis to construct an all-cap portfolio of roughly 40–60 positions; AOF typically runs a 60–80% net long exposure and employs tactical shorting, derivatives and options when appropriate. Emphasis is placed on company-level research, direct engagement with management in the region, systematic screens to narrow candidates, and explicit risk-management disciplines around position sizing, liquidity and sector/stock limits.

Compared with peers, PPA’s business is notable for serving and managing private pooled vehicles and for providing consulting and referral-type arrangements to other advisers, including potential compensation from affiliate partners in cash, equity or incentive instruments; it also has an affiliation with a separate investment-management entity that operates in India. The firm is currently in the process of winding down its business and currently manages only AOF, which has limited external assets under management and has at times waived management fees pending potential external subscriptions.
