Our Investment Philosophy
Value Attributes + Sustainable, Future Income Potential
Superior Portfolio
and Return Characteristics
Sustainable,
Income-Oriented Value
Stocks with value characteristics and future income potential can materially exploit the inefficiencies of Non-US equity markets.
Defensive - Defending Capital on the Downside
Strong downside protection and upside capture can lead to superior portfolio and return characteristics over time.
Rothko’s investment philosophy encapsulates over 30 years of successful income-oriented, value investment stock selection experience and research.
We believe:
A company’s business performance, financial management, competitive positioning, and behavior towards shareholders can all be ascertained from systematic and forensic examination of track records and current performance.
Rather than use teams of equities analysts, Rothko has learned to do this systematically and consistently over the breadth of the market, using fundamental-rules to identify undervalued companies with evidential fundamental strengths that can support the growth of future dividend payments in US$ terms.
Our AI
Rothko’s proprietary AI system aims to learn and apply deep fundamental stock investment rationales that:
- Avoid the behavioral pitfalls of human fundamental stock selectors
- Avoid the dangerous flaws of traditional factor investing
- Exploit the vast and expanding global data resources
- Lever innovative technologies to draw deeper inferences and make better stock selection
We do not believe in traditional quantitative investing techniques based on the assumption that linearity adequately explains equity market returns. Instead, we use interpretable (not Black Box) alternative quantitative techniques to achieve a bottom-up driven investment approach with a parsimonious use of technology that will, we believe, continue to drive uncorrelated returns in the future.
The result is a highly differentiated investment strategy, with high alpha potential and a high active share to both standard benchmarks and, crucially, factor benchmarks.
