Strategy differentiators

  • A wide latitude to depart from index weights results in higher active share and more concentrated top holdings than peers.

  • Aligned incentives: Owner-operators tend to be passionate and cost conscious. We believe they have longer-term outlooks and are better capital allocators.

  • An experienced team with a history of delivering excess risk-adjusted returns over market cycles.
