Investment Philosophy

Our investment philosophy reflects our understanding that equity markets are inefficient and risky, and we believe that over the long term, stock selection can add value.

  • Our Growth at a Reasonable Price (GARP) approach seeks to identify companies that we believe are mispriced on a longer-term basis
  • We seek to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns through a disciplined, bottom-up approach and a risk-aware portfolio construction process 
  • We utilize proprietary valuation models that incorporate ESG analysis and macro considerations

Our Value Add

  • Our diversified global team of 45+ investment professionals produces proprietary company research that drives our stock selection
  • We focus on a five-year research horizon, as we believe market inefficiency is more pronounced over this period 
  • Our Cost of Equity (COE) captures and quantifies systematic and idiosyncratic risk and incorporates these into our valuation and setting of price targets 
  • ESG analysis is fully embedded into our investment process, which means it influences both our qualitative assessment and final COE of a company
  • Proprietary portfolio construction tools support our stock selection and risk management, enabling us to potentially deliver high risk-adjusted returns
