Our Approach
The Fund’s investment philosophy melds traditional rigor with contemporary strategies for superior portfolio performance. We advocate for diversification—both sectoral and geographical—to mitigate regulatory risks, prioritizing investments in profitable, large-scale companies and exercising caution with smaller entities or those pursuing loss-led growth. The valuation-focused approach, which accounts for growth premiums, crafts a portfolio balanced by diversification factors like momentum/contrarian and growth/value. This strategy honors proven investment principles while adapting to the volatility of current markets, targeting sustainable growth and resilience for our investors.
