Founded in 2004 by brothers Andrew and Philip King, Regal Funds Management is an alternative investment management firm. They manage a number of investment strategies and offer investment management and advisory services to other investment companies.
Regal Funds Management manages their funds through fundamental research to find shares they believe are undervalued and expected to rise in price and to sell shares they believe are overvalued, or shorting shares. They work to identify macro factors and trends which would affect their long-short investment strategy and seek to identify any catalysts which may change the market's perception of the valuation of any company. This takes shape in a four step approach.
