3. Investment Philosophy and Objectives

Philosophy

Focus at least 75% of asset allocation to Western European equities.

Employ both a “top down” approach wherein we research and analyse the macroeconomics of European countries to determine broad investment views, and a “bottom up” approach which leads to specific equity investments and portfolio weightings.

Prioritise companies with sound financials, attractive valuations and exposure to high growth markets and skew the portfolio towards liquid stocks, large caps and blue chips.

Employ no derivatives except for currency hedging or to cover a substantial market risk.

Objectives

Primary - Generate consistently superior risk-adjusted absolute long term capital appreciation. Secondary - Outperform European equity markets with lower comparable volatility.

.

Execute process from an investment universe consisting of 200+ large caps and liquid mid-caps about which substantial analysis and trading experience have been accumulated.

Continuously monitor the universe to identify new investment opportunities, both core holdings and trading ideas, subject to our investment process.

Generate country and sector allocations from macroeconomic, industrial and thematic analysis which we believe regularly trigger large delta in stock valuations.

Select within those allocations the potential investment targets representing the most attractive equities.

Engage in rigorous fundamental analysis of target companies through intensive research into the company’s businesses, managements, valuations and catalysts to reach high-conviction investment decisions and maintain the optimal portfolio structure.

Refine buy and sell target prices and timing to optimize performance and minimise volatility, using among other methods advanced technical analysis.
