Fund values

Temperament

We have the courage to stand behind our best ideas, away from rigid value labels or index constructs. This leads to a portfolio of contrarian stocks with solid fundamentals.

Duration

We believe patience and rigour work in harmony. Our research emphasises management’s ability to deliver and rigorous fundamental analysis to identify future long-term winners.​

Alpha

Our powerhouse to long-term investor success is superior stock selection. But we want to avoid taking investors off the cliff edge, so we carefully assess the downside potential of every investment.
