Our philosophy can legitimately be described as 'value' in that we look to establish warranted values for candidate investments, although we invest sometimes in companies designated as 'growth'.

The Fund is an actively managed fund investing in a select portfolio of between 20-35 stocks. The investment style is bottom-up, where companies are screened to find good medium term growth prospects, strong balance sheets and attractive valuations.
