Concentrated portfolios of exceptional businesses.

We invest as long-term owners — and act like it.

Our equity strategies are built on a single conviction: a small number of high-quality businesses, held for the long term, will outperform a broad index. Conviction is earned by research depth, not story-telling.

Each portfolio holds 40 to 60 positions. New names enter only after a written investment thesis is published, debated and approved by the equity team. Existing names are revisited continuously — we own them as long as the thesis holds, and not a day longer.

What we manage

  • Global equity — concentrated, all-cap, benchmark-agnostic
  • European equity — quality bias with structural compounders
  • Emerging market equity — selectively, with a focus on governance and capital allocation
  • Thematic equity sleeves — climate transition, healthcare innovation, digital infrastructure

What defines a portfolio name.

Six characteristics every business must demonstrate before earning a place in our portfolios.

01

Durable economics

Returns on capital that exceed the cost of capital — and a moat protecting them.

02

Reinvestment runway

A management team that can compound capital internally for a decade or more.

03

Honest balance sheet

Conservative leverage, transparent accounting, no off-balance-sheet engineering.

04

Aligned management

Founders or owner-operators with skin in the game and decade-long horizons.

05

Reasonable price

We pay fair prices for great businesses. We do not chase. Patience is a position.

06

ESG that matters

Material environmental, social and governance factors are integrated into every thesis.

Performance through market cycles.

Concentrated, benchmark-agnostic, measured over the long term.

How a name enters the portfolio.

No exception. No shortcut.

01
Universe filter
A quality screen narrows the global universe to ~400 candidates worth deeper work.
02
Deep dive
A lead analyst spends 6 to 12 weeks on a name — financials, competitive position, management calls, customer interviews.
03
Written thesis
A 20-page memo is published, including a sell trigger. No name enters without one.
04
Team challenge
The thesis is debated by the equity team. Only those that survive scrutiny are voted in.
05
Sizing & monitoring
Position size reflects conviction. Theses are revisited quarterly and after every material event.
