We have been using the phrase ‘back to value’ for many years now, but what does it mean, you ask?
We have been referring to Apollo as ‘The Need To Know’ since inception in 2004 for good reason. Investors armed with information and insight make smart decisions at the right time to maximise the chance of a positive outcome and now we bring these insights to ETF investors and distributors.

Libra Investment Services has spent the last twelve years operating as a research and advisory business to equity market investors worldwide. At the heart of our approach is the idea that equity markets are not a complicated problem to simplify and solve but instead are an open, complex adaptive system to be analysed and understood as much as we can; regardless of their current state of uncertainty or unpredictability.
