Antipodes Partners

Antipodes Partners

Jacob Mitchell, formerly of Platypus Asset Management, founded Antipodes Partners in 2015. The firm was established as a standalone boutique after Mitchell spent years building a reputation in global equities. Wealth origin is undisclosed; the firm operates as an independent asset manager rather than a family office. Antipodes runs a global long-short equity strategy with a concentrated portfolio of 20-40 positions. The firm focuses on developed and emerging markets, targeting companies with sustainable competitive advantages and mispriced risk. Sector agnostic, Antipodes has disclosed holdings in industrials, financials, and technology. Geographic footprint spans North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. The firm typically takes both long and short positions, hedging market exposure. Team size is not publicly disclosed. Antipodes has not reported recent fundraising or organizational changes in the past 24 months. The firm operates from its Australian base and does market marketing to wholesale and institutional investors globally. No philanthropic or adjacent vehicles have been publicly identified. Antipodes' structural differentiator is its concentrated, high-conviction approach combined with a true global mandate. Mitchell's long tenure in Australian equities management adds a regional anchor, but the strategy's scope—across developed and emerging markets—sets it apart from many locally-focused peers. Succession and governance details remain private.
