This actively managed fund seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing in a concentrated, high-conviction portfolio of global companies. The core of the strategy is to identify and own high-quality businesses that possess sustainable competitive advantages, often referred to as "economic moats." These are companies believed to have the durability and resilience to generate consistent value for shareholders over extended periods. The investment team conducts deep, fundamental, bottom-up research to select firms with characteristics such as market leadership, strong balance sheets, high returns on capital, and exemplary management teams. The resulting portfolio is typically composed of 30 to 50 stocks, allowing each selected company to have a meaningful impact on overall performance.

The fund’s approach is geographically and sector-agnostic, providing the flexibility to source compelling investment opportunities from across the developed and emerging world. By focusing on individual company fundamentals rather than macroeconomic trends, the managers aim to build a portfolio capable of weathering various market conditions. This disciplined stock-picking process is designed to deliver outperformance against broad global equity benchmarks over a full market cycle.

Furthermore, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria are systematically integrated into the investment analysis. This integration helps in assessing the long-term sustainability and potential risks associated with each investment. By investing in quality growth companies that are well-managed and operate responsibly, the fund aims to provide investors with a core global equity holding that is positioned for sustainable, long-term growth.
