Florin Capital applies a consistent, disciplined investment process across the funds we manage. We use a combination of detailed fundamental analysis, which includes both qualitative and quantitative factors, overlaid with an understanding of global and local economic drivers.
The main pillars of our philosophy are as follows
WE ARE ABSOLUTE RETURN INVESTORS
We understand how hard it is to accumulate capital and, for us, protecting investors’ capital is paramount. We aim to generate absolute returns by owning undervalued securities and avoiding overpriced securities where the risk of capital loss is greater. We measure the expected return against inflation and cash in making the decision to invest.
WE ARE VALUATION BASED INVESTORS
The price you pay matters. Overpaying for a share is the single largest, but not the only, reason for disappointing investment returns and potentially a permanent loss of capital. A large portion of our time is dedicated to in depth research and analysis of companies and industries to enable us to determine an appropriate value for a company or security.
WE FOLLOW A DISCIPLINED INVESTMENT PROCESS
Standing apart from the crowd, challenging conventional wisdom and opposing the prevailing investment winds can, at times, be a lonely undertaking. Our experienced team has lived through many business and market cycles and understands that, in the longer term, value always wins over market irrationality.
WE ARE CONTRARIAN INVESTORS
Investment fashions come and go and like bees to honey, rising prices always attract new investors to the ‘hot’ companies or sectors. We believe that focusing on sectors and companies neglected by investors will, in the long term, lead to both superior returns and reduced risk.
WE ARE ALWAYS OPPORTUNISTIC
We research and value a wide range of companies and securities and are always on the lookout for short-term pricing anomalies to take advantage of. These extend beyond shares and include other securities such as bonds, preference shares and convertible instruments
