PERTH, AU \/ ACCESS Newswire \/ June 16, 2026 \/ <\/strong>Western Australia-based investment manager Avangard has announced the launch of the Avangard Systematic Australian Equity Fund, a new investment vehicle that brings the firm’s proprietary artificial intelligence and machine learning-driven investment strategy to wholesale investors under an enhanced fund structure from 1 July 2026.<\/p>\n

The launch marks a significant milestone for the East Perth-based firm, which has spent years developing a fully systematic investment process designed to remove emotion, bias and subjective decision-making from equity investing.<\/p>\n
