Employing a disciplined, bottom-up approach that combines fundamental research with proprietary quantitative tools to select stocks that are attractive based on quality, stability and price
Hedging the overall portfolio equity market exposure close to zero to isolate alpha
Focusing on absolute risk and return above cash
