About the Investment Strategy

  • Flexibility to stray away from benchmark, industry, or stock weightings, ensuring a portfolio truly reflective of the investment team's views.
  • The investment team aims to hold between 30 and 50 stocks. This concentrated approach is key to the team's longer term success in US equities.
  • 'High conviction' strategy - portfolio turnover is low as the investment team follows a 'buy and hold' strategy.
