Investment team
We believe that the success of our fund management has come from an open and pragmatic approach to investment. Every member of the investment team is encouraged to present ideas and work openly in a team environment. We believe that different styles of management, tools and research work in different parts of the investment cycle and therefore maintain a flexible investment process.
The asset allocation and key themes are set by a small committee. We believe that a small team is important in allowing ideas for conviction to be implemented, whilst ensuring there is opportunity for challenge and debate.
