Investment Strategies

Small caps

Working with high-quality small caps to deliver sustainable returns.

Objective

We aim to achieve long-term capital growth by building high-conviction portfolios of smaller, competitively-advantaged businesses able to create sustainable value for investors over the long term.

Philosophy

In our view, smaller companies:

are often overlooked, under-researched and under-valued;
can deliver sustainable long term growth by combining a focussed approach with leading positions in specific markets; and
offer more opportunities for investors to unlock value over the long term through active engagement with company management teams.

Approach

Our dedicated small-cap investment team applies a disciplined and consistent approach, aimed at:

Identifying high-quality smaller publicly listed companies with strong fundamentals, enduring competitive advantages, and robust management teams;
Investing in these companies at attractive valuation levels; and
Building a high-quality, well-diversified portfolio with the mindset of committed a long-term shareholder.

This strategy is available with a global, European, and Dutch focus.

Capital at risk. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise, and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. Past performance provides no guarantee for the future.
