INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY
CONSISTENT PHILOSOPHY & PROCESS SINCE INCEPTION
Construct
portfolios on a risk
conscious basis
Use long run
anchors of where
assets should be
priced
Focus on the long
term and seek to
ignore short term
“noise”
PrudentValuation Based Long-term
Slide 4
Try to ignore most of our own views
• Adopt a “normal distribution” approach of forecasting
Exploit behavioural biases – Episodes
• Valuation (represents biased perception of risk)
• View formation (represents biased formation of beliefs)
Exploit gravity in risk pricing relationships
• Rubber-band theory: the further valuation moves from fair value, the more likely and
severe a re-pricing becomes
Approach is unconventional and
slightly counter-intuitive
• We are reactive and opportunistic
WE AIM TO BE BETTER AT UNDERSTANDING THE
ODDS ON OFFER
