We believe that the markets are inherently unpredictable, and that pundits' forecasts are often inaccurate. Consequently, we do not attempt to time the market or predict the future.
Instead, we seek investments with asymmetric risk-reward profiles. This means we look for investments that have the potential for high returns with limited downside risk. By doing so, we position ourselves to benefit from a range of future scenarios—without taking a deterministic view in a probabilistic, and often chaotic, market.
As a boutique firm, we can invest in stocks that are too small for larger firms. These stocks are often obscure and underfollowed by the broader market, which creates an opportunity to generate outsized returns.
