Our approach in brief
Strategy
Fundamentally-based long term capital growth principally through investment in the financials sector on an international basis; guided by a combination of top-down / bottom-up stock analysis
Fund manager’s investment approach
Identify sub-sector fundamental themes and exploit them through investments in companies with prices that do not reflect longer-term trends
Be opportunistic and effective with capital by dynamically allocating it across multiple sub-sectors, capitalisations, growth / value categories and geographies
Goal
Generate meaningful returns in any market conditions
16
All of our ideas start with a view that a significant country, industry or company change, not yet being fully recognised by the market, is imminent or in progress

Positions are managed based upon the risk / reward profile derived from valuation and conviction around catalysts
Holding periods can be two months to two years depending on circumstances Positions are constantly re-evaluated based upon events and additional information
Discrete levels are defined and consistently updated by the team each week Target: based upon base case and high case valuations
Optimal entry price: used in initial building of position and defined as threshold where risk / reward analysis holds
Conviction level: based upon potential downside scenario; conviction increased on confirmation of integrity of valuation thesis and risk / reward
Ultimate stop-loss; for risk management; based upon loss level of around 15%*
Active management used for maximum efficiency Based upon top-down / bottom-up approach

Typical stock holding 3-7% of NAV (max 10%)
