A Structured Process Striving for Repeatable Results
Removing Emotion From Decision Making
Opportunity Identification
We use a top-down, bottom-up approach to identify investment opportunities. This allows us to filter investments from broad-based macroeconomic views down to asset price levels.
Rigorous Analysis
Once an opportunity has been identified, we rigorously analyze the investment across three variables: valuation, fundamentals, and the geopolitical environment. Our goal is to identify buy factors and warning signals. Post-investment, our rigorous analysis continues.
Nimble Execution
Our portfolio managers are empowered to make buy and sell decisions, eliminating the need for multiple levels of approval. This efficient approach to decision-making translates into nimble execution.
