Our approach to active equity investing

For more than 40 years we have been investing with an eye to the future and a focus on aiming to deliver consistent returns above our stated benchmarks. In order to achieve this, we apply in-depth research and analysis  in order to identify companies  that can sustain above-average growth in earnings and revenues over a full economic cycle.

Led by our convictions and a recognition that long-term investment focus is increasingly shifting from a geographic to a thematic approach, we offer a range of solutions designed to meet the needs of our clients.
