Investment Strategy

  • Research Driven investing, where we undertake extensive research (over 750 meetings with companies per year), focusing on free cashflow, then rating the company with respect to  management, earnings growth potential, valuation and industry position.  We buy when we can identify a catalyst or an event that will change the valuation the market gives to the company. We sell once the company reaches our valuation
  • Market Driven investing, where we scour the market for trading opportunities. These include participating in initial public offerings, placements, block trades, rights issues, corporate transactions (such as takeovers, mergers, schemes of arrangements, corporate spin-offs, restructurings), arbitrage opportunities, LIC discount arbitrages, relative value arbitrages and trading market themes and trends.  This part of the portfolio is traded actively.
