Our investment philosophy and process is built around long-term Economic Value Added (EVA). We believe EVA is the true measure of shareholder value creation, and changes in a company’s future EVA creation are what ultimately drives stock prices.
A company’s sustainability profile is one of the essential drivers of long-term EVA creation, which is why we fully intertwine the two. This gives us a complete picture of the best risk-adjusted, mispriced investment opportunities; Star companies that will enable us to achieve responsible returns.
We also maintain focus on a smaller, select group of Chinese companies that fall within key growth areas and our ‘Circle of Competence’, which enables us to dig deeper into potential investment opportunities. This often leads us to differentiated conclusions on the quality and long-term performance of companies; a distinct approach to idea generation which helps us spot the best opportunities across this large and varied region.
