Investment Philosophy

Alpha Generators:

  • Believe in investing to generate alpha over the markets rather than simply allocating to benchmark indexes.
  • Companies with a scalable business model and the potential to grow to become large-cap. Companies whose profits are expected to grow faster than the market average.
  • To trigger fundamentally undervalued stocks with decent growth expectations.

Fundamentals Driven:

  • Bottom-up research with an emphasis on the balance sheet.
  • Earnings ultimately determine returns. Numbers speak louder than speeches and hype.

Happy to be contrarian:

  • Prefer to be the first, early, and/or only investor.
  • Do not follow the momentum.
  • Open to considering companies from various industries, market capitalizations, and business cycles.
