Performance Record

...we believe in keeping risks to a minimum and focusing on the long term

The philosophy stresses economic return and absolute (as opposed to relative) value and this often means buying out-of-favour securities and selling into periods of enthusiasm.

This disciplined approach can lead to periods of underperformance if large capitalisation index stocks are racing ahead as in 1997 and 1998. During this rather uncomfortable period AVI funds were buying cheap securities which produced excellent returns. Subsequently, AVI funds took profits in 1999 and 2000 moving substantially into cash which, in respect of one client, represented nearly 50% of assets.

Overall, since the inception of the firm, AVI client funds have substantially outperformed peer groups and benchmarks:
