Values-based investing without compromise
At Archalos, we believe that good character, sound culture, and strong values are the foundation of a successful company and therefore are a strategic asset for investing. This means investors can invest in companies that support their values without conceding returns on that investment.
An innovative approach that goes beyond traditional methods
Most investors focus primarily on financial data, but at Archalos we understand picking a successful investment goes deeper. We’ve set out to identify those hard-to-see, intangible qualities of winning companies. We have developed a research-backed, innovative approach that measures those qualities by analyzing vast amounts of data.
Decades of experience identifying what makes a company succeed
With 50 years of combined investment experience, we’ve studied thousands of companies, managed capital across every market cycle, and seen what truly sets enduring businesses apart. Your hard-earned capital will be diligently invested by seasoned portfolio managers.

The Research
Does "Going Green" hurt the bottom line? A comprehensive study of manufacturing firms found the opposite. The research distinguished between "Green Product Innovation" and "Green Process Innovation." It found a significant positive relationship between Green Process Innovation and Financial Performance. By reducing waste, lowering energy inputs, and minimizing regulatory fines, sustainable operations act as an efficiency driver. The data suggests that sustainability is often just "Operational Excellence" marketed under a different name.

The Archalos Thesis
We strip away the political label of "ESG" and look at the physics of the business. Pollution is waste. Waste is lost profit. A company that innovates to reduce its carbon footprint is usually also reducing its utility bill and its regulatory risk. We view "Green Innovation" as a proxy for manufacturing discipline. If they are obsessing over carbon grams, they are likely obsessing over margin pennies.
