IIIINVESTMENTNVESTMENTNVESTMENTNVESTMENT METHODOLOGYMETHODOLOGYMETHODOLOGYMETHODOLOGY

• Investment methodology revolves around three key axes: Fundamental, Quantitative and Technical, used in synergy.

• Wanting what the market wants vs. forecasting

We have developed a methodology based on investment discipline and strict money management for long-term. We assess current market conditions to define a clear money management plan, based on scenarios with probabilities. We use rational tools, not to forecast “the future” in a deterministic and linear fashion, but to envision many different possible future outcomes, to estimate their probabilities and to monitor the correctness of our decisions.
