We seek medium-term mis-pricings and under-valuations within the listed equity universe. Our approach to equity investing is based on determining the ability of a company to generate profits from its operations in any given cycle or valuation period. We look for companies that have robust balance sheets but whose shares are trading at huge discounts to their fair/intrinsic value.

We gain a comprehensive view on the important drivers of sustainable profitability within companies. We place great emphasis in assessing a company’s a) value, quality and market expectation and b) buying at a discount.

ABSOLUTE RETURN FUNDS

Our focus is capital preservation. This is achieved by paying careful attention to potential downside risk and to provide asymmetric returns through protection strategies to risky assets. Our key investment tenets are a) Downside risk mitigation and b) Yield enhancing strategies.

The objectives are:

• To limit negative returns in any 1 year rolling period and
• To achieve returns in excess of CPI by 3% / 4% / 5% / 6% over a 3-year period.
