Be better invested by being different
We don’t do things the way others do. We apply a pure bottom-up approach, our portfolios are concentrated and our positions are equally weighted.
As business-minded people, we believe that our proven approach, executed with rigor, will continue to generate superior returns over the long term.
We integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into our investment decisions and are a signatory to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI).
We invest in quality, profitable companies with strong balance sheets, while ensuring that we pay a fair price. Companies with a proven business model that will last. This approach yields better long-term results than trying to find ground-breaking companies.
AA&A is committed to adhering to the codes of ethics dictated by the CFA Institute and the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF).
All employees adhere to our compliance manual which is read and signed on an annual basis.
For us, the backbone of our risk management is our in-depth knowledge of the securities in the portfolio. Portfolios are monitored in real time (performance, weightings, prices) through our integrated internal portfolio management system.
Our superior returns have been generated within a controlled framework, thanks in part to the guidelines we set for weighting by security, sector, geography, cash level, number of securities and market capitalization, thereby minimizing risk.
We believe that buying profitable companies with sustainable business models at the right price, that are financially resilient and that generate cash flow, has the potential to add significant value over the long term. This belief has enabled us to generate a strong outperformance since our inception.
