Analysis

​Analysis is the most critical success factor in actively managing a portfolio. Our proprietary research helps us develop a differentiated view from the market consensus.

Insight

​Knowledge and experience enable us to identify risk and return trade-offs to make solid investment decisions. Contrarian thinking help us challenge conventional beliefs.

Managed Risk

​A “margin of safety” approach seeks to pay a price materially less than the estimated value. This emphasizes the ability to withstand adverse developments, generate attractive investment returns, and protect against capital loss.
