Our Firm is an independent, value-oriented asset management group with a focus on international equity markets. The cornerstone of our investment approach is rigorous in-house research combined with an opportunistic investment style and the highest principles of risk management and integrity. We are not, and do not desire to be, the largest investment firm measured by the amount of funds under management. Rather, our goal is to be the investment manager of choice for clients with respect to achieving superior investment performance with limited downside risk.
