We are Quality Growth investors. We take a common-sense approach to investing, identifying the highest quality companies with the best management teams that we can own for the long-term.
Our definition of Quality includes both financial fundamentals and ESG factors, which are fully integrated into our investment process.
Our impact strategy incorporates this approach to invest in companies providing solutions to the world’s major problems.
We believe that you get what you pay for in life.
It is worth paying more for a well-managed, financially sound business that operates in a growth industry and enjoys a sustainable competitive advantage.
Businesses with such Quality characteristics are able to ‘beat the fade’ and maintain a high return on capital over the long-term.
We favour:
- Simple business models
- Profitable companies
- Niche businesses in growth markets
- Market leaders
- High operating margins and high returns on capital
- Good management we can trust
We are not traders – we commit capital to businesses for the long-term and our presence on shareholder registers is typically well received. Our Investment Committee provides rigour and oversight to our process.
