About

ARS serves individual and high‑net‑worth investors as well as institutional clients, trusts, foundations, retirement plans, and pooled investment vehicles. The firm provides separately managed accounts, pooled‑vehicle management, third‑party manager referrals, ETF sponsorship and sub‑advisory services, and financial planning and educational seminars (financial planning is provided to advisory clients at no additional charge).

ARS’ investment process is driven by a formal Investment Committee that meets regularly to define macro views, identify advantaged sectors, and perform company‑level fundamental research using valuation, growth, and qualitative screens. The firm offers a range of discretionary strategies — including core equity, focused all‑cap and small‑cap, tactical asset allocation, multi‑strategy solutions, ETF‑based sector and focused ETF portfolios, and core fixed income — and conducts due diligence and ongoing monitoring of third‑party managers and funds it recommends or sub‑advises.

Compared with many peers, ARS both sponsors and sub‑advises ETFs and manages private pooled vehicles, including a sidecar‑style pooled vehicle tied to an angel investment fund; the Fund structure includes performance‑based incentive allocations and the firm discloses arrangements to rebate or avoid duplicative fees on ARS‑sponsored ETF positions. The firm is majority‑owned by Artemis US Corporation (part of a group that includes a registered Canadian commodity trading manager) and discloses that it relies on a CFTC/NFA exemption (4.14(a)(8)) rather than registering as a CPO/CTA; recent material disclosures also note the termination of a pooled vehicle relationship and the launch of its ETF sponsorship/sub‑advisory line.
