What we do
In our liquid strategies our approach is active management, with concentrated, high conviction portfolios.
In private equity strategies we seek high quality assets that are undervalued and/or distressed due to corporate, geopolitical or other events and shocks.
While our strategies are adapted to each market, discipline is at core of our approach, which is standardized and based on clear guidelines. Deep local knowledge, high quality internal research and absolute compliance with the strategy and risk management guidelines offer our investors stable, risk adjusted, uncorrelated returns.
