The Managed Funds Strategy
Where conviction meets structural inevitability.
Concentrated, high-conviction portfolios in the world’s largest listed companies, positioned in the secular themes reshaping the global economy.
We don’t follow the index. We hold a deliberately small number of names, sized to conviction, and let quality compound. Patience is an asset class.
A repeatable edge
Experience
25 years navigating market cycles: bull markets, drawdowns, regime changes. Pattern recognition you can’t shortcut.
Proven Principles
Growth at a fair price. Sector leadership. Quality moats. The same rules in every market, applied without exception.
AI-Powered Signals
Proprietary signals surface momentum shifts and structural inflections in real time, extending what the analyst sees.
The result is a process that doesn’t depend on a single market regime. It compounds in expansions, defends in drawdowns, and finds asymmetry in transitions.
Investment Themes
Four structural shifts in the world’s largest economies.
Four concentrated, multi-year shifts in the largest US companies, held until they become consensus.
01 / 04
Defence & Aerospace
Sustained, multi-year procurement cycles across allied nations and a structural rebuild of sovereign capability.
02 / 04
Frontier Technologies
The picks and shovels of the digital economy — category leaders with deep moats in AI, quantum, and silicon.
03 / 04
Energy Technology
A multi-decade transition across generation, storage, and the electrification of industry.
04 / 04
Advanced Manufacturing
Reshoring and the reconfiguration of global supply chains around resilience over efficiency.

Where We’re Allocating Capital
Where conviction sits.
Six high-conviction sectors, each anchored to a growth pillar. Indicative target weights and representative holdings, illustrative rather than current advice.

Semiconductors
The compute layer beneath every AI workload. Global tech sovereignty and CHIPS Act tailwinds are reshaping the supply base.
Design, IP licensing and data infrastructure silicon
Frontier Technologies

AI Infrastructure
Cloud capacity is the bottleneck, not the model. Contracted revenue and hyperscaler commitments are running years ahead of build-out.
Cloud platforms, enterprise IT and optical networking
Frontier Technologies

Aerospace & Defence
Sustained Western re-armament, commercial aviation recovery and space-economy expansion, with multi-decade demand visibility.
Primes, aerospace suppliers and defence data analytics

Industrial Automation
Onshoring and labour shortages are forcing capex into automation. Margins expand structurally, not cyclically.
Robotics, warehouse automation and process control
Advanced Manufacturing

Advanced Manufacturing
Advanced nuclear alongside conventional producers with carbon-capture exposure. Grid electrification and compute-driven baseload demand are re-rating generation.
