Patience, not passivity.

Strategies need time. Decisions follow a framework, not the headline.

Time horizon first

Every strategy starts from your horizon and liquidity, not from a product.

Broad, then selective

A broad base across global markets, complemented by few, clearly bounded asset classes.

Cost is return

Total costs are laid open and consistently accounted for in the strategy.

Calm under figures

Neither good nor bad performance is dramatised. Discipline beats reaction.
