Strategies
In essence, superior investment advice is about having an Insight advantage from diverse
events and cycles (viz. corporate profit-cycle, economic-cycle, credit-cycle and cycle in attitude
towards risk, among others) followed by, Acting upon that insight only when necessary.
Therefore, our high-conviction themes can reflect contrarianism - backed by data and
reasoning - as we believe contrarianism is essential (not just preferred) for investment success
of investors. This is because market behavior (herd-mentality) changes the price of any asset,
and price is the most critical risk that can render even a good asset to become a poor
investment, if done at a high price. Therefore, although we seek to deliver advice that
generates superior returns for our investor, we place a higher emphasis on safety of their
capital.
To serve our clients with honour and integrity, we implement strategies around our highconviction themes, that are determined by market in-efficiencies and not momentum. To that extent, our strategies are as follows.
We drive superior risk-adjusted return by taking differentiated insights, building deep expertise and concentrating resources around these high-conviction themes.
