Investment Philosophy

Generally accepted financial theory claims the investor is rational, the market is efficient and the only way to generate excess return is to assume higher market risk (beta). The investment team believes that higher market risk does not always result in a proportionally higher return, thus investors are not always fully compensated for assuming greater risk. This is substantiated by recent research. The investment team is also of the opinion that market information is generally not interpreted consistently by market actors. A structured, rule-based investment process is objective in evaluating market risk and market information. Accordingly, we believe this type of investment process provides the best chance of utilising these two anomalies in order to generate better-than-market returns.
