Approach

The fundamental pillars that underpin our investment philosophy and ensuing processes are as follow:

  • We adhere strongly to the tenets of active management;
  • We believe history repeats due to the persistence of investor behavioural biases;
  • Separating signal from noise contributes to more successful forecasting of returns;
  • Scientific investing and the application of Machine Learning is the basis of our forecasting processes;
  • Domain expertise is key to successful quantitative based investing;
  • Research and Development is advantageous in a competitive and technologically advancing world.
