Philosophy & Process
The team employs a growth-oriented investment philosophy focusing on identifying company-specific growth inflection points and exploiting associated marketplace inefficiencies. Our philosophy hinges on a belief that market expectations tend to be ‘anchored’ to historical information and that points of inflection therefore introduce dislocations between market expectations and fundamentals which generate significant alpha capture opportunities. The team combines fundamental, macro and behavioral analysis with a nimble/active investment approach to quickly identify inefficiencies and generate a portfolio which uniquely seeks to achieve superior aggregate growth rates as well as superior risk characteristics.
