You’ve seen the ideas. Now you can run them.

Over the past few months, we’ve been building something in the background.

Today, it’s live.

Readers of AP Research can now invest directly in our portfolios (including our Master Fund and individual thematic baskets) with positions automatically mirrored into your own brokerage account.

This is powered by a new platform called RunPlutus. Create an account, link your brokerage account, and choose which AP portfolio or baskets you want to follow. Your money never leaves your account. Trades, position changes, and rebalances are then replicated automatically. No manual work.

We’re launching with four portfolios:

1) AP Master Fund
Our full thematic portfolio, including downside hedges and tactical derivatives.
Minimum: $200k

2) AP Master Fund - Unhedged
Same thematic portfolio, same positioning, minus derivatives.
Minimum: $50k

3) Global Equity Portfolio
Our enhanced MSCI World-style allocation, tilted by macro views.
Minimum: $30k

4) Global Equity/Bond Portfolio
An equity/bond portfolio, managed monthly to optimise risk-adjusted returns.
Minimum: $30k

When can I invest?
Now. As soon as your Plutus account is approved, you can allocate.

What does it cost?
The first three months are free. After that, an AUM-based fee will apply. Final pricing will be confirmed shortly and will be competitive with the broader market.

Why did we build this?
This lets us open our portfolios and themes to readers without the friction of traditional fund structures, and at significantly lower minimums. You keep custody of your assets. We focus on what we already do: research, positioning, and portfolio construction.
