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 Human Capital Information Gap
Key Metric
76% Gap
Investors Who Want HC Data vs. Companies That Provide It
The Research
Do investors actually care about "soft" HR metrics? Yes—more than companies realize. A study by the Wharton School and CIPD found a massive "Information Gap." While 76% of investment professionals stated that human capital metrics (turnover, leadership depth, engagement) were "material" to their analysis, only a fraction of companies disclosed them. This creates an arbitrage opportunity. Companies that close this gap by voluntarily reporting these metrics gain a "transparency premium" from analysts who are starving for this data.

Key Finding
76% of investors view Human Capital metrics as material, yet few firms report them.
The Archalos Thesis
We view the "Information Gap" as a competitive advantage. When a company reports detailed human capital metrics, they are speaking the language of modern capital allocators. This transparency reduces the "risk discount" applied by analysts. We favor companies that treat their workforce data not as a state secret, but as a strategic asset to be showcased to the market.
