Mission
We aim to deliver strong risk adjusted performance over the medium to long term. We will limit the fund size to avoid capacity constraints which further aligns our clients interests with ours.
Approach
We are fundamental bottom up stock pickers who believe rigorous research leads to solid absolute returns. We seek to identify companies which can deliver strong growth rates and where we feel our expectations of risk and reward are different from the market. Our portfolios are concentrated so that only our best ideas are acted upon and we are benchmark agnostic. We do not have a distinct style bias. We strongly believe that a boutique structure is the best way to ensure a culture of performance and align our clients’ interests with ours.
Risk
We acknowledge emerging Asian stock markets contain significant stock specific and country specific risks. We aim to carefully manage our exposure to this by implementing proper reviews of people, systems and disciplined monitoring. At the portfolio level, we will take into account country risks, sector risks and correlations before constructing the portfolio. As a RFMC regulated by the MAS we are required to be externally audited annually which includes the signing off of our operational risk management procedures.
