Investment Philosophy & Objectives
Top-down fundamental analysis determines asset allocation and portfolio positioning across geographies, sectors, secular themes. Capital is allocated to areas that can generate attractive long-term risk-adjusted returns.
Bottom-up security selection ensures we remain flexible in order to identify and invest in the best securities/third-party funds, through which we can express our views.
Our primary focus is on risk management and liquidity. We define risk as permanent loss of capital, not price volatility. We aim to ‘defend’ in down markets, in order to compound capital at an attractive rate over the long-term.
We are benchmark agnostic and aim to generate mid-to-high single-digit returns, over the cycle, with less volatility than broader asset classes.
