Why Kardinia

Kardinia Capital is a boutique asset manager investing in Australian equities via a long/short strategy.

We aim to generate consistent positive returns in all market conditions, with an overarching philosophy of capital protection. The strategy gives investors variable exposure to the equity market.

Kardinia is wholly-owned by the team, who also invest significantly in the strategy – ensuring our goals are aligned with those of our investors. 

The Kardinia strategy was incepted in 2006 and is managed by Kristiaan Rehder and Stuart Larke, supported by Mark Burgess. Between them, they have a combined 93 years of experience in stock picking and managing money for clients.

We are a small, agile business, able to make decisions quickly as market conditions evolve. Our team is genuinely collaborative and curious, motivated by uncovering new opportunities and committed to continual learning and improvement.
