investment philosophy
Work environment is a "safe" place for opinions and independent thought
"Hunt as a pack" particularly for cross-border market structure changes
Consistent measurement and feedback are the keys to improving as investors
Focus on alpha generation
team based culture Team members may own a view point, but not a name or region
Focus on utility market structure changes - generally slower to be priced into the stocks
Take advantage of the global utility sector's low regional correlations
Focus on the risk/reward proposition, not the greatest absolute return potential
• Build conviction by first eliminating possibilities
focused, sector-driven approach • Cash flow is paramount
Sizing is most important risk step
• Keep risk model discipline - mitigate selective memory and bias
rigorous risk management • When in doubt. get out
