4

Our disciplined and objective methodology prevents us from falling into the very same behavioural biases (e.g. loss aversion) which we are seeking to exploit in the market

Our methodology is able to analyse 1000’s of companies on a very frequent basis, ensuring that we are always using the latest information and research, and that we can capture the full breadth of global equity market opportunities

Once we discover an inefficiency in the market, it can be incorporated into the models which will, if managed well, indefinitely continue to accumulate knowledge (unlike many more classical investment styles, where managers are extremely vulnerable to being drawn to whatever strategy worked best in a recent past…)

In our approach, the score for a particular stock is perfectly retraceable (not a statistical black box model)

Part V – Qualitative Review

10

Before a stock is bought, a quality check is performed on that stock

• Check on the correctness of the input data of that stock • Check on news flow (for lawsuits, claims, unfavourable news, M&A,…)• Check of analyst reports for sanity check• Apply qualitative restrictions like country risk considerations (e.g., on

countries like Russia)

The investment managers make the final decision and then generate the orders manually (no automated trading)

We are aiming for higher returns, without higher risk
