Arrowpoint Investment Partners Surpasses $1.1 Billion in AUM, Driven by Strong November Performance

Arrowpoint Investment Partners, a multi-strategy hedge fund startup, has seen its assets under management (AUM) surge to $1.1 billion, driven by a strong 3% return in November. This marks the fund’s best monthly performance since its launch in July, according to a Bloomberg report. The firm, which initially started with $500 million in AUM, is expected to see an additional $400 million in capital inflows during the first half of 2025. However, Chief Operating Officer Andrew Freyre-Sanders declined to comment on the matter.

Founded by Jonathan Xiong, a former Asia co-CEO at Millennium, one of the largest hedge funds globally, Arrowpoint is emerging as one of the most prominent hedge fund startups in Asia in recent years. The firm has attracted major institutional investors, including the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, Blackstone Inc., and Temasek Holdings Pte. With 17 investment teams already operational across Singapore and Hong Kong, Arrowpoint is poised for further expansion, with plans to add five more teams in the near future.

The November gains helped Arrowpoint achieve a 1% return since its inception. While the fund generated profits in four of its first five months, early fixed costs and gradual client inflows weighed on returns during the third quarter. Reaching $1 billion in AUM by October allowed Arrowpoint to benefit from economies of scale, which in turn boosted profitability.

The positive performance in November came as political uncertainties surrounding the U.S. elections began to ease, allowing investors to refocus on corporate and economic fundamentals. According to sources, Arrowpoint’s four core strategies—commodities, fixed-income macro, systematic, and equities—all delivered positive returns, contributing to the firm’s overall success. As Arrowpoint continues to grow, it appears well-positioned to expand its influence in the competitive hedge fund industry.
