Philosophy

Common sense.

We believe the share prices of such companies will eventually appreciate to reflect the intrinsic business value. The timing of the price move is uncertain, but we are prepared to be patient and invest in the company with a three to five year investment horizon.

If executed in a disciplined and consistent manner such an investment philosophy offers the potential for superior returns and reduced risk of loss.

We are business analysts who seek to invest in shares of companies that trade at significant discount to our assessment of the intrinsic value of the business.

Style Summary

• Contrarian• We often find ourselves buying shares that few others like and selling them

when they are popular.

• Value-oriented• We are not 'value' managers in the sense of buying only stocks with low

price/earnings ratios or avoiding companies with high growth. We focus on intrinsic value and hold shares selling at low prices relative to their intrinsic value.

• Focused• Each of our equity funds typically contains no more than 50 primary positions

at any one time.

• Long term• Intrinsic value often takes time to be recognised by the broader market. We

therefore do our research with at least a four-year time horizon and our funds tend to buy and hold.
