Concentrated portfolio with high active share
- Construct a relatively concentrated (50-80 stocks), yet balanced portfolio.
- Maintain a high active share (more than 85%), in conjunction with stringent risk controls.
Consistent investment process and philosophy
- Manage portfolio consistently without style drift or market cap drift.
- Focus on free cash flow, strong balance sheets, undervalued growth potential and management teams that exercise capital discipline.
There is no guarantee that the Portfolio's objectives will be met.
