Technology (NINA)

NINA (Novel Investment Network of Agents) is our Proprietary agent-based AI system. It consists of three engines.

Equity Intelligence Engine

We utilize our Equity Intelligence Engine to identify, invest and maintain a high conviction portfolio of the best high quality, large cap companies, taking the global market as our universe.

Macro Intelligence Engine

We utilize our Macro Intelligence Engine to identify economic regimes that impact our portfolio companies directly, enabling us to adapt to economic shifts, survive bear markets and thrive in booming ones. This engine also allows NINA to identify cross-asset opportunities and augment the portfolio with other assets such as gold, cash, bonds, etc. thereby exploiting the entire economic cycle from boom to bust.

Risk Intelligence Engine

We utilize our Risk Intelligence Engine to identify unexpected market surprises by adapting our risk exposure independently of our views on our companies and the global macro backdrop. This approach enables us to survive unforeseen shocks by reducing risk during periods of unexpected market volatility. In calmer environments, we thrive by allowing the system to fully utilize the available risk budget.

3-module system

Our investment philosophy is embedded in our agentic investment technology NINA.

Philosophy

Strategy

Principalled risk management

Historically, fundamental long-term human investors have held an edge over computers due to their ability to conduct deep due diligence and maintain concentrated portfolios. However, research suggests that with advancing technology, this advantage is unlikely to remain.

Principles

Protect and Grow our Legacies

Argan was founded to manage our own

wealth and followed after successfully

managing assets for Institutions and

multi billion EUR families with the objective

of protection and outperformance amidst

global turmoil.

Through our journey, we've identified four
key principles essential to our mission—

principles embodied by the resilient

Argan tree: Adapting to unknown

unknowns, Surviving and Thriving in any

market environment, all while maintaining a
long-term horizon.

Adapt

The Argan tree has to adapt to the harsh environment of southwestern Morocco.

Survive

It has the ability to survive extreme heat, drought and poor soil.

Thrive

It not only survives, but the tree has adapted to thrive in those harsh conditions.

Long-term Horizon

To reap its returns one needs to have a long-term vision, as it takes years for the tree to reach fruiting maturity and its fruits take one year to mature.
