Investment Approach
- The Manager's and the investment managers investment philosophy is that markets are not always efficient. Superior returns are therefore attainable by identifying good securities (defined in terms of the fundamentals which the Manager believes will drive stock prices over the long term) cheaply. This is achieved primarily through first-hand research and active management of portfolios. In emphasising the primacy of corporate performance, the Manager and the investment managers tend to disregard the role of indices and the concept of relative return. Market capitalisation appears an unsound theoretical basis for a 'neutral' portfolio position, being an inherently historical construct, while consensus-driven demand is potentially distorting. Absolute return is held to be more important over the long term, with risks controlled primarily at the security level.
