Investment principles

  1. Understand before we invest.

    We commit capital only where we believe we understand the business, asset and principal risks.

  2. Size risk so we can sleep at night.

    We manage risk so that no single investment or outcome can threaten the firm, and so that we are never anxious about survival.

  3. Never overpay for quality.

    We recognise that a good business is not automatically a good investment. What we pay determines the return we can earn.

  4. Think in years.

    We are prepared to be patient where the underlying value of an investment requires time to emerge.
