Investment Universe

  • Our strategy is to be sector experts and compound our knowledge

  • We only invest in Green Sectors

 

Investment Process

  • We are value investors at heart, focusing on valuations and we do not want to overpay for businesses. The price we pay is the best risk mitigant available

  • We are aware of biases and apply a systematic process that can be improved over time. One tool available to us is our proprietary investment checklist. Our biggest enemy in investing is our own ego and biases

  • We are long-term investors and want to minimise our trading activity

  • We will sell a position if the valuation overshoots our intrinsic value estimates

  • We integrate ESG into all aspects of our decision making. Sustainability is a core element of our philosophy and integral part of our strategy

Portfolio Allocation

  • We want to be able to size positions according to opportunities

  • Portfolio allocation is a key return driver and we do not believe in standard fund “diworsification”

  • We aim to be fully invested during normal periods but the option to hold cash in extreme situations or stock market bubble scenarios is a further risk mitigant

  • Due to unknown risks and uncertainty we will limit the maximal initial position size for a new position to 10%

  • The market has periods of mild, medium and wild volatility. Behaviour in wild volatility periods is what matters. Our strategy is designed to take advantage in these opportunistic times

  • A cornerstone of our portfolio construction is mitigating downside risk
