Unique Value Proposition
Over 30 Years, One Strategy:
->Value investing works
We look to buy mispriced securities, where there is a meaningful discrepancy between the price and the value of the business, in a company that has the ability to compound value over time.
->Our process
Our investment process is entirely bottom-up. We look for situations where the market has not yet recognized a fundamental change in a company, or where the market has overreacted to a seemingly negative event.
->Forward looking approach
We invest in undervalued companies that have a high probability of increasing in price in three to five years, not for reasons related to the movement of share prices in general, but related to one or two company specific developments that will unlock value.
Benefits to our clients:
-> Better returns – creating more wealth, realizing our clients’ goals sooner.
-> Confidence – gained from the knowledge that we have never strayed from our investment process, and we have the history to show that the process works.
-> Smoother ride – historically we have outperformed in both up and down markets, and because of this our clients have experienced a smoother, more profitable ride.
-> Comfort – over 100 years of combined experience with 4 portfolio managers.
