 funds basic

A long only value portfolio based on the investment principles of Benjamin Graham:

        • Each company in the value portfolio has the minimal required fundamental safety margins.
        • The safety margins are defined based on the historical financial statements.
        • Restricted portfolio turnover of below 50% on an annual basis.
        • In the screening procedure no forecasts are introduced.

 investment process

Step 1: Select cheap

Select companies with minimal performance on a number of fundamental criteria like solvency (e.g. equity to total capital > 35%), profitability (e.g. ROA > 0) and liquidity ratios, and historic performance.

Step 2: Select robust

Construct a portfolio with minimally 55% equity to total capital and optimize it so that the fundamental characteristics (solvency, profitability, liquidity…) of the portfolio compared to the dataset created in step 1 are above average.

Step 3: Create diversified portfolio

Spread the investments over the selected countries to create safety in diversification and to ensure liquidity does not become a burdensome trap.
