A strong track record

This is ahead of stock markets, cash and inflation in the US, UK, Europe and Japan. 

During this period, we have preserved our clients’ capital through some very difficult markets – including the crashes of 2000 to 2003, 2007 to 2009 and early 2020.

Our track record has been built on the steady compounding of positive returns. And our performance has come with a low correlation to conventional investment strategies, offering clients a different pattern of returns.

That said, sometimes our performance is dull. Sometimes the markets race ahead of us.

We believe it is only by preserving capital in difficult times that we can hope to achieve good returns over the long term.
