Good corporate citizenship is key to successful investing.
Embracing ethical practices in our investments, we pave the way for a prosperous future where integrity and success go hand in hand.
Our Investment principles:
Buy Right
Diversify
We aim to buy the right assets at the right price, and manage them to ensure long term gain. This means rarely purchasing at a premium. By acting this way, we minimise potential downside while maximising the upside opportunity.
Established by previous generations, diversification is part of our investment DNA. It minimises risk, and allows us to apply what we learn in one asset class to another. This is part of our conservative approach to preserving wealth and growing capital.
Value Creation
Long term horizon
The best investments offer the opportunity to create value through improvement. We believe that when we add value, we create value.
Big ideas take time to realise. Our horizons are often in decades, not years, maximising total return over time.
Active Investing
Legacy
We seek to invest in markets where we have family experience, or can deploy knowledge from our other activities. Every investment is researched to ensure its vision can, in time, be realised. Part of this involves investing actively. We seek investments we have a natural affinity for and can bring an entrepreneurial spirit to.
We are custodians of a family wealth built over generations. It is our role to consider the impact of our decisions on the next three generations, not just the next three years, and leave a legacy they will be proud to continue.
