We seek to deliver exceptional risk adjusted returns with low correlation to the markets by identifying mispriced securities, with clear catalysts that will significantly rerate them.

Our approach is active management, with highly concentrated, high conviction liquid portfolios. Deep local knowledge, high quality internal research and absolute compliance with the strategy and risk management guidelines offer our investors unique opportunities not accessible by simply buying an index.

While our strategies are adapted to each individual market, discipline is at the core of our approach, which is standardized and based on clear guidelines – with no exceptions.
