Investment philosophy
Our investment philosophy is rooted in the belief that high-quality companies bought at a compelling price generate superior returns over the long term. Our definition of quality includes a superior business model, healthy financials, sufficient runway for growth and a management team we know, like and trust. We focus on three categories of growth, each with distinct return characteristics: growth compounders, mispriced growth and disruptive growth.
We believe ESG integration, a natural extension of a quality focus, enhances both risk control and opportunity capture.
Investment process
Our Emerging Market Equity strategy follows a disciplined bottom-up process:
- Select and monitor a focus list of stocks that satisfy our criteria for quality
- Conduct in-depth fundamental research and risk-reward analysis of said stocks
- Construct a diversified portfolio
- Continuously monitor holdings and sell discipline/decisions
