Investment Philosophy
- The global economy evolves in a constant process of change and reinvention. This creates mispricing of two kinds: over-reaction to hot themes and under reaction to new ones. Our research process organizes all stocks into thematic sectors to better capture competitive dynamics.
- Thematic sectors help us to understand the supply-chain dynamics affecting companies that are best placed to deliver value over time, and those whose products and services may be more cyclical, but necessary during different stages of the business cycle.
- Investment opportunities come with different timescales and so we structure our portfolios to have large long-term positions in leading firms and smaller short-term positions in cyclical opportunities. This style transcends traditional growth versus value investing.
