Investment Strategy

The firm applies contrarian principles, seeking opportunities where the market consensus is misguided and aiming to generate absolute returns with a strong focus on long-term capital preservation and compounding. Its approach is opportunistic, unconstrained by asset-gathering capacity, and prioritizes investments that managers themselves hold ('skin in the game') to ensure alignment of interests with clients. The firm offers a mix of separate accounts, mutual funds, ETFs, and private investment vehicles, and is known for thematic strategies such as spin-offs, special situations, inflation beneficiaries, and blockchain-related assets.
