Packer & Co commenced investing funds on behalf of clients in 1993. Since 1996 Packer & Co has managed a single investment vehicle, the Packer & Co Investigator Trust, a widely held public unit trust which is able to invest in a broad spectrum of asset classes throughout the world.
The Packer & Co management team tends to be counter-cyclical, buying assets when they are out of favour and taking advantage by selling when investors become over-exuberant, preferring to keep things simple and avoid options, futures and complex financial products.
