Our Philosophy & Mantra
We have spent the last 25 years managing investments in transition countries – emerging and frontier markets that are undergoing structural transformations. We are attracted to world-class franchises in high-growth markets that offer a sustainable competitive edge, scalable business models and a proven track record of generating high risk-adjusted returns for their shareholders and a positive footprint on their societies and stakeholders. We hunt for these opportunities in countries with equally strong comparative advantages, successful development models, sustainable social contracts and a strong culture of governance and respect for the rule of law and property rights. Our markets tend to be neglected, under-researched and therefore under-appreciated by the foreign investment community. As a result, in times of extreme uncertainty, perceived risk becomes elevated relative to the reality on the ground. These dislocations often create unique opportunities to invest in quality franchises at valuations that offer a high margin of safety. It is these rare opportunities that we scout for, study and invest in through professionally curated portfolios of stocks and bonds. We prefer depth over breadth in our investment process, concentration over lazy diversification and always opt to be a specialist in a small number of countries and global sectors rather than spread our resources thinly. Finally, we believe that investors should deploy capital in a way that is consistent with an elevated standard of ethics. We are therefore only focused on investments that can also have a discernible positive social and environmental impact on the markets that they touch. We have followed this philosophy and framework successfully for over two decades.
