Our investment philosophy is predicated on the belief that investing in companies with multiple alpha drivers, where the risks can be quantified, can help deliver outperformance. We follow a disciplined and repeatable process, investing only in opportunities that meet our three alpha drivers: quality, intrinsic value growth and compelling valuation. This bottom-up approach results in a concentrated portfolio of businesses where we fully understand and have quantified the risks associated with each investment. Our scenario analysis, under which we determine a range of business values, is an integral part of this process. Through this framework, we determine the relative attractiveness of our investments to assist in constructing an optimal portfolio.
The economic outlook in large part continues to depend on the successful management of the pandemic on a global scale. While much of the developed world has made demonstrable progress in terms of infection rates, and some emerging markets have gained better control of the virus, there remain parts of the world which continue to struggle to manage the virus (e.g., Africa). The recent increase in vaccine production is positive; but with a lack of consensus on duration of antibodies and the potential for new variants uncertainty persists. The outlook is also reliant on the duration of fiscal and monetary support, and other relief packages, in the US and globally. Supply chain issues and inflation surprises remain risks. Thus, our focus remains on investing in companies we believe have the ability to successfully navigate the current environment and generate value over the longer-term
