Investment Philosophy
  • Our philosophy is not complex. It is however a lot harder to achieve 1. Don’t lose money. Major drawdowns kill compounding. Protect the downside through prudent investment and effective diversification.
  • 2. Real Returns matter. Ensure investment returns match inflation.
  • 3. Achieve investment returns greater than the risk being taken.
