Investment Philosophy

Bateleur’s investment philosophy has remained unchanged since inception. Key elements include:

 

  • A value oriented investment style.
  • Investment decisions centered on bottom up fundamental research. This applies to both long and short  positions.
  • Actively managing downside risk in order to protect investors' capital during periods of market weakness.
  • The establishment of a core portfolio where a long term view is taken.
  • Researching and investing in companies that may fall outside the FTSE/JSE Top 40 Index.
  • Quick turnaround time on investment decisions.
  • Prudent use of leverage.
