The Long Term Global Growth Equity Fund aims to produce capital growth over the very long term by investing primarily in global equities. Performance will be measured against the MSCI ACWI Index.

The team is structured such that every investor can contribute meaningfully to the generation of new ideas, stock research and stock discussions. We want to bring cognitive diversity, creativity and imagination to the research process. Once a stock has been fully researched and discussed, the decision makers are responsible for making the ultimate decision on its inclusion (or otherwise) in the portfolio. Their decisions place an emphasis on backing enthusiasm rather than achieving a full consensus. The portfolio is deliberately concentrated so the bar is high for any stock to be included in the portfolio. Stocks will typically enter the portfolio as small positions. Thereafter, the bias is towards hold discipline and running winners with a belief that asymmetric returns will drive investment performance.
