Investment philosophy
Central to what we do are core beliefs that guide our decision-making process and how we construct and manage our portfolios.
- REITs are correlated to stocks in the short-term but…
- Over the medium to long-term, they perform like real estate.
- The nature of the listed market leads to divergences between stock prices and intrinsic value but…
- Significant discounts to intrinsic value do not happen often.
- There are no shortcuts in a disciplined underwriting process.
- We prioritize on-the-ground research and detailed financial modelling.
- Closet indexing has become more and more prevalent. We believe in high conviction portfolios.
- Tailored strategies to meet desired client outcomes.
- We must stay small to maintain our liquidity advantage.
- A hard cap on assets is necessary in our niche space.
