Ultimately we are judged not on our success raising capital, but on the success of the capital raised.
Our Operating Principles
We focus on targeted investment strategies versus general investment models with wide deployment parameters
Using this approach, risk analysis is more accurate, risk controls less opaque and investments are not susceptible to 'style drift'. Investment liquidity and capital time horizons are always clearly defined and understood at the outset.
The herd is not where we choose to be.
We believe the comfort of the crowd is no substitute for investor judgement, accurate risk/reward analysis and comprehensive diligence. We take great efforts to explore and scrutinize unique investment opportunities and are not afraid to take an independent viewpoint.
We constantly strive to understand the true nature of risk/reward as it relates to investment opportunities under consideration.
Risk is multi-faceted. It should not be feared, but it has to be respected, and understood intimately. We take a comprehensive approach to assessing industry, strategy, and execution risk/opportunity in every alternative strategy we consider. If we can truly comprehend this dynamic and are convinced of the opportunity, we can fulfill our role as asset managers.
Alignment of interests and capital stewardship go hand-in-hand.
If these are not right, there is no investment worth undertaking, regardless of the opportunity. We go to great lengths to ensure that all interests relevant to the success of our alternative strategies are aligned with invested capital, including our own.
When it comes to investing capital, we question everything...especially our convictions.
Investment "truths" and "reality" are in a state of constant flux. We continually reappraise their status today and going forward.
