Our approach
We seek to exploit an investment edge that is both analytical and behavioural in nature. Being long term in outlook, concentrated, and benchmark agnostic allows us to ask the right questions. Our cash-flow focus, awareness of time and resource constraints, and strong emphasis on investor culture allows us to answer analytical questions in a more robust, and consistent fashion.
Our approach is benchmark agnostic in terms of stock selection, which allows us to invest without restriction and take meaningful positions in companies on a forward-looking fundamental basis (rather than be beholden to the skews of global equity indices). Instead, we choose what we consider to be the very best businesses regardless of sector classification or geographic listing.
We actively seek to minimise downside risk, typically reflected in an attractive capture ratio – aiming to match the market on the way up, but significantly outperform it on the way down.

The value of an investment and any income from it can go down as well as up and can fluctuate in response to changes in currency and exchange rates. Investors may not get back the original amount invested.
