Our Investment Principles
# SECTOR SPECIALISATION
Gain insight into cyclical and secular trends, analyze industry capital cycles, and generate a semi-annual perspective on key factors driving idea generation: sector themes, catalysts, and valuation.
# STOCK SELECTION
Employ quant-first investment screening approach to exploit the synergy of quantitative and fundamental approaches. We screen for pattern recognition for long/short alpha pools and high odds of mispriced companies.
# FUNDAMENTAL RESEARCH
Deep understanding of the industry dynamics and business model. We assess business key drivers, market expectations, company valuations and the strength of management teams.
# LONG AND SHORT INVESTMENTS
We invest in long and short single-name positions because we believe they enhance our risk-adjusted return and lessen market volatility impact.
# CROSS-TEAM COLLABORATION
Collaboration between our team, senior advisors, and academy analysts allows us to assess investment opportunities comprehensively and deploy capital quickly. Together, we bring our diverse strengths and individual accountability to create stronger outcomes for our investors.
