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.
Investment Objective
The investment objective of the Abakkus All Cap Approach would be to generate alpha and risk-adjusted returns for clients by investing in a benchmark agnostic multi-cap portfolio.
