Strategy differentiators

  • Decisions are driven purely by objective data and fact-based company fundamentals to help avoid behavioral and opinion-based biases.

  • We isolate companies that exhibit high earnings, high growth, rising price trends and improving analyst expectations that also remain undervalued by the market.

  • With no country, region, or sector bias, our unconstrained approach allows a more objective bottom-up selection of what we believe are the most attractive, leading companies across the universe of equities.
