Our value investment process emphasizes bottom-up fundamental research, using both quantitative and qualitative techniques.
Our screening process starts by looking at an investment universe which consists of global holding companies, closed-end funds and asset backed companies.
We have detailed models on approximately 400 companies out of this universe, which track stock prices and earnings information.
Throughout the filtering process we ask the following questions:
Our analysts track stock prices, earnings and balance sheet information with an aim to identify good quality companies trading on a discount to their NAV which exhibit clear trends to create long-term value. Research includes:
The objective of our portfolio construction process is to end up with a concentrated portfolio of about 50-60 holdings, facilitating a clear monitoring process of the entire portfolio.
We pick stocks that meet our investment criteria and once we decide to invest we seek a minimum position size of approximately 2% of the portfolio, however the timing of the catalyst and the liquidity of the stock can result in the holding being greater or lesser than 2%.
