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.

Aside from the higher stress levels, we find the current environment to be fascinating from an intellectual perspective and find very few analogues historically. The world has been generally moving in one direction, toward closeness and integration, for many decades. That trend paused somewhat beginning in 2016 but we are looking toward a likely reversal of some of that global integration, which would really be the first time the world has seen that.
