OUR INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY & PROCESS
We believe that, in relation to the Funds, a carefully selected portfolio of securities, with a greater focus on relative value and profitability, can provide better returns than the market benchmark over the long-term.

ANALYSIS IS OUR STRENGTH
We conduct our own research to understand all aspects of an investment.
We interact closely with companies to understand their business models and financials and conduct scenario analysis and valuation modelling to ensure the investment is right for our portfolios.
PEER REVIEW
All investments are peer reviewed within the investment team. Any investment ideas are challenged and debated to ensure they meet our criteria.
A separate compliance team oversees all investments to ensure that these adhere to each Fund’s investment guidelines.
