Independent thinking

Conviction investing

Absolute returns

Philosophy - intro

Argonaut’s investment philosophy revolves around three core principles.

Independent thinking

First principles thinking is key to alpha generation. We use external research but never rely on it.

Conviction investing

Great ideas are rare so should be made to count. Where we find attractive risk-reward we invest with conviction albeit we always look to avoid anchoring. We seek to have strong convictions loosely held: if we feel the facts have changed we will change our positioning.

Absolute returns

Risk Management is key to long term compounding. We think in absolute rather than relative terms, we manage money without reference to benchmarks and we seek to make positive returns in all market environments.
