What is an actual investor?
Partner Stuart Dunbar explains how making the best returns for our clients comes from discovering the companies that contribute most to progress over the long term.
Think in decades. Not quarters
We can’t predict how markets will behave, but rigorous analysis gives us a good idea of how technologies will evolve to meet challenges – and which companies will lead the field.
Build relationships. Not just portfolios
Investing isn’t just about trading shares. It's about building meaningful relationships with management, encouraging them to make the decisions and innovations that create long-term wealth.
Imagine ‘what if’? Not ‘what is’
Just as important as spotting emerging disruptive technologies is having the knowledge to imagine what bigger, longer-term changes they might lead to.
Look at the big picture. Not just the small print
From healthcare to financial services: when extraordinary technological breakthroughs are opening up vast opportunities, it takes breadth of vision to turn them into investment success.
