Investment Philosophy
Value investing strategy:
- We embrace the value investing principles of Benjamin Graham, Warren Buffett, and Charles Munger, and Peter Lynch.
- We focus on publicly traded businesses globally. Â
- We aim to achieve superior long-term returns by identifying undervalued securities.
- We conduct independent research.
Business owner mindset
- We consider ourselves owners of a piece of a real business.
- We are not traders in securities and don’t engage in speculation.
Long-term value generation for society
- We are focused on the value added of businesses.
Our Core Values
Total Alignment: “Our success is directly tied to the success of our client partners.”Â
- My family’s wealth is committed to the same strategy and investments.
- Performance-driven fee structure.
Independent of Conflicts of Interest
- We are independent of external banks.
- We negotiate the lowest possible prices with any custodian bank in your favour.
Transparent & True Performance Partnership
- No retrocessions (kickbacks):Â We never accept hidden third-party incentives, distribution fees, or commissions. Our only source of compensation is what you pay us directly.
- Performance fee: 25% net, only after clearing three major, investor-friendly hurdles:
- Hurdle Rate:Â We must deliver a gross return of 5% to 6% (roughly 4% to 5% net after management fee) before we earn a single cent of performance fee.
- Cumulative Hurdle:Â If we underperform the hurdle rate in any given year, we must make up that gap in future years before any performance fees can be charged.
- Strict High-Water Mark:Â If the portfolio value drops, we receive no performance fees in subsequent years until your portfolio fully recovers to its previous peak value.
- Low fixed overhead
- 1% management salary to cover running costs.
- Lower fee percentage for higher assets under management.
Honesty, confidentiality and accountability
Integrity
- Responsibility toward my partners, society, and the environment.
Ethics
- We don’t invest in the defence sector – there are many more pleasant investment opportunities and we sleep a lot better at night knowing that our investments don’t cause harm to society
