- Investing in micro, small and mid-capitalisation companies;
- Asymmetric risk/return profile and catalyst driven investment;
- Investing in companies where securities are being issued or sold below assessed intrinsic valuation;
- Investment based on large macro-thematics;
- Investing in a range of structures including equity, hybrids, options and term debt;
- Going short indices or specific companies; and
- Pre-IPO unlisted opportunities (within portfolio limits).
