About: I am a stock picker with 25 years’ experience across investment banking, equity research and portfolio management. My deep knowledge of global equity, and particular expertise in Asia, underpins an excellent track record of outperformance, and proven ability to identify long-term value throughout the cycle.My Investment credo is built around three simple principles:♦ Only invest in companies which you understand and can value.♦ The value of a business does not alter with changes in stock market sentiment.♦ Risk is the possibility of permanent impairment of capital, not share price volatility.I enjoy working closely with colleagues and investors, and am able to communicate complex ideas accessibly to a range of audiences, and to achieve consensus through open discussion. Throughout my career I have guided and mentored junior colleagues, helped them to develop and encouraged them to take on new challenges.An entrepreneur with a sound grasp of what drives profitability and growth, I have spent the past few years building a female personal care product start-up to substantial profits, as CFO and Company Secretary.My areas of expertise include:Portfolio Management, Investment Strategy, Trade Ideas, Portfolio Construction, Equity Research, Long Only, Long / Short, Concentrated, Long Term, Asia & Europe, Sustained Outperformance, Financial Modelling, Qualitative & Quantitative Analysis, Food Chain Analysis, Catalysts & Events, Pricing & Profit Margins, Capital Costs, Allocation, Cash Flow & Profitability, Stakeholder Engagement, Pitching Ideas & Presentations, Collaboration & Discourse, Attracting Assets, Absolute Return, Alpha & Beta.
