How does Lupus alpha invest?

Truly active portfolio management with high active share

Benchmarking does not play a role at Lupus alpha. Our portfolio managers have the freedom to deviate from consensus and thus exploit market opportunities.

Information inefficiencies represent opportunities

Market inefficiencies are essential for above-average returns. The more particular the market segment, the greater the chance of maximising returns by gaining an information advantage.

Bottom-up approach exploits information gaps

The primary objective throughout the small- and mid-cap segment is to unearth the most attractive equities – 'hidden champions' and true 'cash cows'. As well as analysing the business models of each prospective investment, Lupus alpha's specialist Small & Mid Cap team relies upon findings from first-hand company visits and management assessments.

We take performance personally

With us, investors know which experienced, skilled fund manager is responsible for the performance of each fund.
