Our Philosophy

  Investment Approach

  • A long-term value proposition:  The ability to look beyond short-term events and take longer-term views can help investors achieve better results.  Though “buy and hold” doesn’t mean “buy and ignore.” Continuous review and active management of the portfolio is crucial for capital preservation and wealth.
  • Consistency is key: Deliver consistent, strong investment performance across various asset classes. Oscillating ranking vs peers is not only what we aim for . We believe that a superior record is best built on a consistent top quartile performance vs peers rather than a mix of great successes and failures.
  • Achieve the highest possible alpha and risk adjusted returns.
  • Strong emphasis on cost discipline. Costs  can be a drag on performance if not well controlled
  • Combining top down and bottom up strategies for optimal results; we believe that adopting a single investment approach is not realistic.
  • Client Engagement: Our team will provide the best client services, maintaining frequent contact and visits to our clients to  discuss market developments and portfolio performance.
