Segregated mandates & portfolios
We are investors in companies and not equity traders. We do not bet on news-flow, momentum or sell-side revisions, as we believe that is speculating and not investing. As investors, we concentrate on the underlying businesses of the companies we own. Over the medium to long term, the growth in the fundamental value of the business ought to be reflected in the share price. We have a pragmatic approach, not defined by ‘growth’, ‘GARP’ or ‘value’ labels.
Our mission is to deliver attractive long-term returns to our clients; we use a disciplined, fundamental, research-driven approach to identify well-managed, shareholder-friendly companies with sound business models where we see a strong likelihood of continuing profitability and positive shareholder returns. Our bottom-up, active approach, with research done in-house by our own portfolio managers and analysts.
​
We believe that valuing businesses across many different sectors/countries/operating environments requires tailored analysis. Many years of experience investing in developing markets have taught us that the best companies have three key foundations: good management, capital discipline and business models.
