Earnings Drives Share Price

Emphasize that revenue growth, margin growth, and free cash flow growth collectively contribute to earnings growth, which is the primary driver of share market returns over time. Put simply, share prices tend to follow profits.

Bottom-Up Approach

Active and fundamental bottom-up approach to stock selection. This involves evaluating financial health, management quality, competitive position, growth catalysts, and valuation metrics to identify undervalued stocks. This approach aims to identify quality businesses independent of broader economic conditions.

Structural Growers

Invests in businesses positioned for long-term growth, driven by secular tailwinds. Unlike cyclical trends, which are short-term and often tied to economic cycles, secular tailwinds are enduring and can last for decades.

High Conviction

Best ideas with conviction. Studies show that managers' top picks generally add value, while smaller positions often detract from it [1]. Additionally, the diversification benefits of extra positions diminish quickly. This supports our approach of holding a smaller number of well-understood positions [2].
